The Ministry of Atmosphere and Science (DES) is requesting public help to determine the particular person (s) answerable for the unlawful dumping of building waste within the Beerburrum state forest.

Building waste was dumped within the state forest close to Donnybrook Street between Friday February 26 and Monday March 1, 2021.

DES brokers hope a member of the general public will acknowledge the distinctive wall tiles, primarily these in a toilet, which have been a part of the trash.

Different objects included wall coverings, pallets, fencing materials and a bath.

As of January 1, 2020, DES compliance officers have investigated 32 stories of unlawful dumping within the forests of the Beerburrum area, which embrace the forests of Bribie Island and Beerwah.

Throughout this era, DES compliance officers issued 22 Sanction Violation Notices (PINs) in response to unlawful dumping violations.

The penalties for unlawful dumping vary from:

• lower than 2,500 L for a person is $ 2,135 (PIN) and a most penalty of $ 53,380 (lawsuits)
• lower than 2,500 L for an organization is $ 6,672 (PIN) and a most penalty of $ 266,900 (lawsuits)
• better than 2,500 L for a person is $ 2,669 (PIN) and most penalty of $ 133,450 (prosecution)
• better than 2,500 L for an organization is $ 10,008 (PIN) and a most penalty of $ 667,250 (lawsuit).

As an environmental regulator, DES takes compliance points significantly and can take strict enforcement motion.
