Thousands of tyres left in an Amberley yard for years were ignited in a second fire in the yard in three years. The pile of between 120,000 and 160,000 tyres at the Racecourse Rd yard has been the subject of great contention, and even a lengthy court battle, over the past few years. The problems started in February 2016 when Michael Le Roy, the lessee of the yard, started storing tyres at the property for 2016 Tyre Recycling Ltd. The company involved later changed its name to Annexure Tyre Services Ltd, and Peter George Benden became its sole director. In December, Benden was fined $36,000 by the Environment Court for contravening a court order by not removing the tyres.
