DES compliance officers caught the illegal operations on camera during an inspection. An Ipswich construction company has been fined $40,000 after they were caught on camera illegally accepting, stockpiling and crushing concrete waste despite receiving orders to stop from the Department of Environment and Science (DES). Between July and December 2020, the operator accepted, processed and stockpiled a large amount of waste concrete on a site near Ipswich without an environmental authority (EA), meaning the site was not managed in accordance with Queensland's environmental standards.
