South Island Resource Recovery Limited (SIRRL) plan on locating its huge rubbish incinerator on farmland approximately 2.5 km north of the Glenavy township. Prevailing winds in the area are Northeast, meaning emissions from the incinerator will be carried directly over the township and school. In addition to the emissions from the plant, the school also has concerns about the extra heavy truck and trailer movements, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to bring waste to site. Read the schools official position on the Government’s fast tracking of this proposal below.
