Update: Friday 30th: It turned out to be an extremely informative day & evening. Instead of Verve being the culprit for the plumes of black smoke belching into the air, take a bow NewGen. Over the past few days we've had powder white,rusty-brown and black emissions, what else do they have instore?Still no green!
The noise hit earlier than expected 8.50pm, so we gather there was a wind shift or industry decided to get into the thick of things early. Noise was cracking along at 47-50db in the effected areas of Rockingham, so off to industries boundaries. WFLPG eastern boundary 70-74db, others were exceeding the limit, but not to the same extent. I have sympathy for the many workers they are either tone deaf or wear damn good ear-plugs,if it's the latter it could be extremely dangerous.

Noise is defined in the Act to include vibration of any frequency,whether transmitted through air or any other physical medium. We are still waiting with baited breath for the government to fund the department, so they can purchase the necessary equipment and qualified people to measure the noise levels travelling on the water table. The ultra low frequency is responsible in many cases of feeling sea sick on land, apart from a virus of course.
I can't blame people that have sold up, unable to put up with any more sleepless nights as well as other health problems that are being experienced. Why when industry have encroached on communities, is it people that have to sell up & leave?
We usually receive the same excuse when ever sirens are heard, the poor old contractor cops the blame they are always getting into the wrong showers. Strange how after all this time something hasn't been done to rectify this problem, I thought these big companies would at least hire people that can read English!(It's time for a new excuse guys)

Government should not be installing more heavy industries on our back door step, what is cheaper for industry isn't necessarily better for communities.
Saturday: From the pouring rain & thunder and lightning,no monitoring but from the stench of sulphur & other chemicals someone is in trouble.
