Summary
Albany councillors have rejected a proposal to extend the operating period of a lime pit in Nullaki from four to 12 months and to remove transport restrictions. Concerns raised included public safety, noise, environmental issues, and compliance, with only five of 105 submissions supporting the extension. Despite arguments from some councillors for the necessity of lime for agriculture, the motion to refuse the amendment was passed with a vote of 7-3, highlighting significant safety impacts due to truck speed violations on local roads.
