Court and Compliance Watch in EDO NSW Bulletin 2 November 2012 - Number 784:
 
A Pimlico woman has been fined for her part in organising the illegal dumping of about 200 tonnes of demolition waste on flood affected land in Pimlico.
The woman was convicted in Ballina Local Court on Friday
[26 October 2012] for "actively recruiting" a demolition company to illegally transport demolition waste to a property in Pimlico. The court also found that at the time of the illegal dumping, Mrs Wall was aware she required development consent from Ballina Shire Council for the placement of the demolition waste on the property. No steps were taken by Mrs Wall to seek approval until after she was caught by council officers.
Mrs Wall was fined a total of $7500 and ordered to pay all of the council's legal costs, totalling $3800, as well as $83 in court costs.
