Hume council will take Bulla’s toxic soil saga to the Supreme Court.
Last week, Hume councillors voted unanimously to have the council’s lawyers initiate legal proceedings to review a decision by Planning Minister Richard Wynne that could see testing and disposal of spoil from the West Gate Tunnel project at a site on Sunbury Road.
As reported by Star Weekly, Mr Wynne approved Hi-Quality Group’s planning scheme amendment for the site on March 29.
Council estimates the legal proceedings will cost between $100,000 to $200,000, but noted that cost could be higher if it were to lose the case.
Council received 58 community submissions and over 300 emails in relation to council officers’ recommendation to initiate legal proceedings.

A WOMAN reversed into a police vehicle then gunned her car forward and drove it through a fence to get away from the officers who wanted to speak to her boyfriend.
The boyfriend took over driving and led police on a pursuit from Rosewood that ended at Walloon when the engine of the damaged Holden Commodore overheated and seized.
Details of the incident were given when Jessica Grey appeared for sentence in Ipswich Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
Jessica Grey, 28, from Spring Mountain, pleaded guilty to drink driving (0.076) at Bellbird Park on June 12, 2020; and to five offences that were committed at Rosewood or Walloon on July 18 – doing wilful damage to a fence; dangerous operation of a motor vehicle in Albert St; failing to comply with duties of a driver involved in a crash; doing wilful damage to police property; and possession of a knife at Walloon.
