"It stinks - literally"

I’m in a quiet street and have had no issues with crime, and love how easy it is to get to Booval Fair, Ipswich, and Redbank SC. However the area literally smells horrendous thanks to the huge Cleanaway dump in New Chum. The smell regularly wafts over and is putrid. On hot days when the cool evening breeze finally comes it carries the smell and the whole house has to stay shut to keep the smell out. It hasn’t smelled for a while since they stopped operations there after the 2022 floods caused it to flood and spill out, but it will begin again mid-2023, and there’s an application to expand the dump so it’s going to be intolerable again.

Ronald St, but the smell gets all the way to my dads across from Booval Fair. Theyre going to put in a second dump right next to the first too. You cant smell it at the moment because the dump hasnt been running since it flooded in 2022, but its supposed to start up again this year. If you want more info check out the Stop the Stink facebook group.
