A rollover has reduced Tonkin Highway to a single lane in Kewdale, slowing commuters heading home for the weekend. Main Roads has urged drivers to take extreme care in the area. Further north, a crash has blocked a lane on Mitchell Freeway in Tamala Park, with heavy traffic building on approach. A separate crash blocked the left lane of Kwinana Freeway at South Street in Bateman, scattering debris across the road. That crash has since been cleared.
西澳规划委员会(WA Planning Commission)投票决定解除Clarkson一块土地的规划限制,尽管卫生部(Department of Health)因该地块靠近Tamala Park垃圾填埋场而反对此举。这块1810平方米的地块有一部分位于填埋场500米的缓冲区内。规划人员表示,污染风险是可控且可以接受的,并称一旦住房建成,缓冲区可能不再适用,因为该垃圾填埋场计划于2029年关闭。Wanneroo市政府(City of Wanneroo)在附加条件下支持此次改划,条件包括须告知未来买家该地块的历史和风险。
珀斯北部和中部郊区数千户住宅的家庭垃圾将被送往Kwinana进行能源回收。City of Stirling(斯特林市)是五个大都会地方政府辖区中首个将垃圾改送往南部的。Kwinana Energy Recovery(Kwinana能源回收厂)利用热处理技术,从不可回收垃圾中提取能源和可回收材料。未来几个月,另外四个地方政府辖区最多16万户家庭的垃圾也将改送往该处。Tamala Park垃圾填埋场将继续为Joondalup和Wanneroo服务,直至2029年关闭。
