Tell Government "No Air Polluting Industries in Salisbury/Moorooka, Brisbane"

Residents in Salisbury Moorooka have lived with a noxious industrial odour for 9 months. Now with Council approval, any action to fix this has likely stalled until 2015. Brisbane City Council has failed to protect a basic human right for its residents in their homes. Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states "no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home". This noxious odour has invaded our home environment

There is either a lack of legislation, resources, or motivation within Brisbane City Council to effectively regulate a high emission industry sited less than 0.5km from a residential area.

In this specific instance it has been left to the offending company to monitor themselves and advise Council whether or not they have breached regulatory standards. If Road Safety was administered the same way as Environmental Protection it would be up to drivers to let Council know when they had exceeded the speed limit. 

We need the weight of community support to make Council take notice. If you want to breathe clean air in your home please sign this petition.
