AnswerView source ↗
The Minister for the Environment and Heritage advises that - (1) The identification of a suitable site for the liquid waste treatment plant was made against site selection criteria by the Department of Health in 1989. (3) The potential sites considered were Canning Vale waste water treatment plan, Woodman Point waste water treatment plant and the Westfield-Brookdale waste water treatment plant. The current site was deemed most appropriate and was considered acceptable by the Environmental Protection Authority in its assessment of environmental and social aspects. (2) Other sites considered were Canning Vale waste water treatment plant and the Woodman Point waste water treatment plant. (3) A public environmental review into the establishment of the non-hazardous industrial treatment plant at the Brookdale site - formerly the Westfield site - was released for an eight-week public review period in 1989. (4) An evaluation of the Brookdale site against selection criteria was undertaken by the Department of Health in 1989. An independent assessment against environmental and social aspects was also undertaken by the EPA.
