Nuclear waste: Kimba committee even discussed transitioning out of the site selection process
Life after nuclear decision discussed, Eyre Tribune, Rachel McDonald 16 Aug 19,
Assisting the Kimba community in transitioning out of the site selection process should it not be chosen for the National Radioactive Waste Management Facility (NRWMF) was among issues discussed at a consultative committee meeting on Wednesday.
The committee, made up of Kimba community members both for and against hosting the facility near Kimba met with NRWMF taskforce general manager Sam Chard.
Despite the BDAC appealing the decision, the Kimba District Council this week announced its intentions to move forward with the ballot.
“We’re open to their suggestions about how we might do this,” she said.
Jeff Baldock, who sits on the committee and volunteered the Napandee site, said he was pleased to resume discussion and see movement in the ballot process…… [Ed. Note: Mr Baldock’s property is said to be the Government’s favoured site for the waste dump – a useful little additional money-spinner for a farmer]
Another topic discussed at the meeting was the decision to increase the footprint of the site to allow a larger buffer zone between the facility and its neighbours …..
After community members wishing to observe the meetings expressed concern about restrictions on note taking during meetings, reviewing the observer code of conduct was on the agenda…..
Minutes of the committee meetings are released on the department website. https://www.eyretribune.com.au/story/6331281/life-after-nuclear-decision-discussed/?fbclid=IwAR2ODEstxlVCJUe64cS9huIKT3AV98Jyxy5r9WEfM7n-SMhJGarPzuZUlhU
