Bradken Foundry |

Policies
 When they look out their windows at the spires of the Bradken
foundry polluting the local atmosphere, it is easy for Kilburn
residents to believe that their Government just doesn’t care.
Despite years of raising their concerns of adverse health
effects and soil and rain water contamination, residents were
told late in 2007 that the Bradken foundry will be allowed to
increase production by expansion. While Bradken, as part of its
approval, will be required to improve upon the current
level of pollution, the foundry will continue to pollute
and for those who attend the school or live literally metres
away, this outcome is unacceptable.
Ann believes the best solution would be to move the foundry away
from families to the more suitable cast metals precinct at
Wingfield or, failing to do this have the affected residents,
many of whom are Housing Trust tenants,
relocated at Bradken’s expense.
