Stop Montrose Quarry Expansion is a non-profit community organisation that was formed in 2004 in response to stop the continued expansion of the Boral Montrose Quarry. The expansion of the quarry would mean further adverse health, amenity and noise impacts to residents and businesses that are close proximity to the site.

I was invited to speak and conduct the formal proceedings for the group’s AGM where I spoke about my community involvement within the Public Transport Users Association (PTUA) as well my time as an elected councillor in prompting the use of the Health Act in relation to Southern Rocycling.

There is no greater reward that being able to empower a communityand I hope that STOP achieve great success over the next year.
