Dear Local Resident,
The Greens have supported the MCPA and Mt Coot-tha Local Residents (MCLR) actions, to reserve the Mt Coot-tha DOGIT area as public parkland usage.
The Mt Coot-tha Quarry (MCQ) provides asphalt gravel, which is an inexpensive and abundant resource.
As shown on our website www.MtCoot-tha.org , we estimate that the MCQ rehabilitation cost is around AUD$0.5BiLLION and increases every year that the massive hole is enlarged.
A very expensive gravel usage part is the transport through urbanised and congested public roadways plus the addition of the heated bitumen in more remote places like Swanbank (south of Ipswich).
The MCQ has totally ignored all the operational conditions of their blasting license.
Possible rehabilitation options such as the Eden Cornwall project in UK, have totally dwarfed all the money ever made from blasting at Mt Coot-tha.
Please attempt to visit or reply to their community meeting on Sunday, 23rd of February from 10:30 am.
Thank you for reading this email, your time and focus are highly valued.
Kind Regards, Philip Best.
