An 'unbearable' smell of rotten eggs, which inundated suburban homes for months, has resulted in a record fine for a commercial landfill company in south-east Queensland.
An investigation by the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation explored resident complaints regarding a "rotten egg gas odour" following extreme rainfall in 2022. It also found the company had committed other offences, including pumping contaminated water around the site and using it for dust suppression.
When calling for the inquiry, Mayor Teresa Harding said the impact on residents had been "horrendous".
