Environmental issues[edit]

Fires at recycling facilities[edit]

Early January 2021, a large industrial fire started at a metal recycling facility owned by InfraBuild. 80 firefighters worked on the 35-square-metre fire.[2]

The same week, another fire started in a pile of scrap metal at Norstar Steel Recyclers, a facility recycling steel.[3] Seventy firefighters worked on fighting the blaze and local residents were advised to stay inside.[4] A similar event occurred at the same facility in February 2018.[5]

Early 2024, a fire started in a stockpile of recycling materials at a recycling facility and burned for two days.[6] EPA Victoria issued a prohibition notice to stop adding more material to the site and an Environmental Action Notice (EAN) to the company.[7]
