CHW contract/s with Ballarat Excavations & Transport regarding waste water transport & disposal

The request was refused by Central Highlands Region Water Corporation.

Dear Central Highlands Region Water Corporation,

My name is Michael Gray and I own a property, zoned Rural Living under the Hepburn Planning Scheme, which adjoins 423 Clunes Road, Creswick. The property at 423 Clunes Road, Creswick is the business address of Ballarat Excavations & Transport.

It is my understanding that Ballarat Excavations & Transport ("BET") is operating a business from the Property in breach of the Rural Living zoning requirements by operating a truck depot, asphalting, earth moving and waste material transporting business. BET appears to be contracted to Central Highlands Water ("CHW") to transport waste material from the Ballarat South Wastewater Treatment Plant to a location in Clunes for dumping, spreading, drying and repurposing of the waste material.

I request a copy of the contract/s between CHW and BET as to the requirements for it to transport waste material with truck, and wash those trucks at the Property.

Yours faithfully,
Michael Gray

Afternoon Michael,

 

I just following up on previous email so we can keep your FOI application
on track.

 

Are you please able to indicate whether you are willing to receive copies
of documents with exempt or irrelevant information removed where that is
practicable, or whether you are only seeking access to complete and
unedited copies of documents, if so this may result in an entire document
being regarded as exempt if it is deemed by CHW that it contains exempt or
irrelevant information. This is in accordance with section 25 of the Act.

 

Also please advise if you agree to have all personal identifiers removed
from the documents.

 

 

Kind Regards
