Petitioners are concerned that a number of areas within the Logan City are zoned to allow hazardous and noxious industry to take place within close proximity to residential areas. The area of immediate concern is Jutland Street Loganlea, where the State Government is currently fighting a proposal for a resin blending plant. The local town planning schemes do not provide for an appropriate buffer between hazardous and noxious industry and local dwelling houses. Your petitioners, therefore, request that the House take measures to ensure that hazardous and noxious industries do not pose a danger to homes, schools or recreation facilities.
