Police probe dump fire POLICE are investigating if there are any suspicious circumstances after a huge fire erupted at the Warwick dump on Tuesday night. Three urban fire trucks and five rural crews joined council employees at the Morgan Park waste management facility after the alarm was raised at about 6.15pm. The fire was visible kilometres away.
Several rural fire teams returned on Wednesday morning to back-burn around the smouldering heaps of rubbish which cover about half an acre of the dump. The fire is expected to burn for two weeks, firefighters said. Detective Ryan Harmer of Warwick CIB said while there was no immediate evidence of arson the blaze needs to be investigated.

more information about a single application. Councillor Jamie Mackenzie led the arguments against the proposal, saying he had no objection to wind power but these generators were 10 times the height of surrounding vegetation. Cr Denise Ingram seconded his motion rejecting the development application.
Cr Mackenzie said the proposal for Rabbit Fence Rd did not comply with council’s planning scheme; set an undesirable precedent; and the amenity of the residents could not be protected. Cr Mackenzie stressed that he was supportive of renewable energy projects but had concerns about the location of the wind farm. Continued Page 2

DALVEEN residents hugged and cheered after Southern Downs Regional Council quashed a proposal for a wind farm in the district. The residents celebrated a unanimous decision of council rejecting the proposal, against the advice of its own staff. Urban Potentials Pty Ltd had
applied to build eight generators, each 150 metres high, to produce so much electricity that a planned 110KV power line from Warwick to Stanthorpe would not be needed. The facility was also to contain a solar array and back-up generators. There were 56 submissions to council opposing the project. Mayor Peter Blundell said the council had probably never received
