24 Joffre St, Mowbray, Launceston, Tasmania

Back to the low res camera today, but I just had to try and capture this filth. The smoke you see was dropping straight onto their neighbours house. Disgusting.

Here is another serial polluter in Invermay, Launceston, Tasmania.

What a joke the Launceston City Council can not see what we see. Are they blind. Are they scared. What is it Launceston City Council, why are you not able to see that this property is in constant breach of air quality law? You should stop this. Enough is enough.

24 Herbert St, Invermay

Sorry for the delay.

Here is footage of a serial polluter in Invermay. The council/government has no excuse for not prosecuting the owners of 24 Herbert St, Invermay. They pollute everyday of the week. It is impossible to pass 24 Herbert St, Invermay without getting a lung full of fine particulate pollution down your throat.



They are in breach of the law:

PART 3 - Emission of Smoke from Heaters, Fireplaces, Barbecues &c.

9. Emission of smoke from heaters, fireplaces, barbecues &c.
(1) A person who is the occupier of a building or land is not to cause or allow to be emitted, from a heater, fireplace, barbecue, hot water heating appliance or cooking appliance, smoke that –
(a) is visible for a continuous period of 10 minutes or more; and
(b) during that continuous 10-minute period, is visible for a continuous period of 30 seconds or more –
(i) in the case of a heater, fireplace, barbecue, hot water heating appliance or cooking appliance in a building, at a distance of 10 metres or more from the point on the building where the smoke is emitted; or
(ii) in the case of a heater, fireplace, barbecue, hot water heating appliance or cooking appliance that is not in a building, at a distance of 10 metres or more from the point where the smoke is emitted.

See the following site for the whole Act: http://www.thelaw.tas.gov.au/print/index.w3p;doc_id=+67+2007+AT@EN+20080502000000;rec=0

When filming the footage below, I was standing at least 20 metres away, and that smoke is still pouring out, at least a week later. It pours out daily.

Come on Launceston City Council, enough is enough, prosecute the polluters of 24 Herbert St, Invermay, Launceston. Show us you are serious about sorting out the woodsmoke issue in Launceston. Bribing people with cash handouts to replace the heaters that cause the pollution is not enough.

Fund smoke patrols and prosecute.
