Transport for New South Wales just got hit with a clean-up notice from the New South Wales Environment Protection Authority over a $2.5 million dollar property in Shane's park, Sydney's West. The sights turned into a massive dump with construction waste, car parts, machinery, and over 500 tires scattered everywhere, plus hazardous. Stuff like batteries and chemical containers. It's been going on for at least five years. The agency bought the land back in 2019, but it's leased to a third party they won't name. Officials say, transport for New South Wales as the owner has to fix this pollution mess even after years of warnings and inspections.

Transport for New South Wales must send monthly updates, or facepines up to $2 million, plus daily penalties.
