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.
National security experts and federal Labor have welcomed the Morrison government’s decision to tear up Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews’s Belt and Road agreement with the Chinese government, but warned there could be economic retaliation from Beijing.
