The fact that Sydney metropolitan waste needs take precedence over protecting prime agricultural land and the safe food it. supplies. In combination with the continual gradual encroachment of agricultural land by state Government only displays a severe lack of understanding of land use planning priority.

This is no difference to the overseas experience where it is well documented incinerators are generally placed in lower socio-economic regions where the population voice is often quieter. 

This was acknowledged by Prue Carr when she stated “The fact is this government would never enforce toxic incinerator fumes on the homes, schools and shops over on the North Shore, so why should people in Western Sydney be forced to endure toxic pollution from this potentially deadly plant.”
