Local residents are rallying to demand action against persistent foul odours originating from agri-industrial facilities in Nambeelup.

Wendy Bouquet, who is leading the protest, told 6PR Mornings host Chrissy Morrissy that the stench is unimaginable and that residents have been suffering for over a decade.

“Green is great, but not when it stops you from enjoying your life”, Bouquet said.

Morrissy subsequently spoke with David Doepel, chairman of the C-Wise board – one of the facilities identified as contributing to the smell.

Doepel noted that his company has invested roughly $6 million in facility upgrades to reduce odours, adding that complaints have dropped by 86 per cent.

“We have actually world-leading technology that aerates our compost, that makes sure that it is aerobic and not anaerobic, which is a significant source of odours”, Doepel said.
