The persistent chemical odor from the Visy paper mill in Reservoir is more than just a nuisance; it's a health issue affecting me and my neighbors. Almost daily, a terrible stench permeates the air, especially when the Northern and North Eastern winds blow. For those of us living within 500 meters of the mill, this is an inescapable reality that is taking a toll on both our physical and mental health.

Despite numerous reports to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Visy has not taken the necessary steps to mitigate the problem and improve air quality for the community. This is unacceptable. Not only are our families affected, but local pets and wildlife are suffering as well.

Experts have consistently pointed out that prolonged exposure to chemical pollutants can lead to serious health issues. The foul odor we experience is not just unpleasant; it signifies potentially harmful substances in the air. It's imperative that Visy addresses this pollution immediately to safeguard the wellbeing of people and animals alike.

The community deserves clean air and a healthy living environment. It's time for a class action to pressure Visy into adopting more stringent pollution controls and repairing the damage already done. We call for the installation of better air filtration systems and regular monitoring to ensure compliance with environmental standards.

We need your support to make this change happen. By signing this petition, you are helping to hold Visy accountable for their impact on our environment. Stand with us in demanding a cleaner, safer community. Your voice matters; let it be heard.
