Heatherdale Community Action Group

Elwynne Kift, a member of the Heatherdale community has said, "Sharon works hard for the community knowing its issues." A resident first contacted Cr. Partridge regarding the noise that was coming from Eastern Recycling in Heatherdale Rd on the Maroondah Council side. After listening to the gentleman's concerns, Cr. Partridge contacted fellow councillor Chris Aubrey they both visited him that night to determine the extent of the noise and air pollution.
Many years of action against CMA saw the company taken to VCAT on numerous occasions. Now residents can look forward to the relocation of the noisy shredder to Dandenong South with the remainder of the company operations following within the next few years.(updated July 2012)



The noise created by the operations of this company have made it unbearable at times for the residents living in the area. In January 2004 the Heatherdale Action Group was born. Cr.Partridge's first protest march was from The Manhattan Hotel to Eastern Recycling accompanied by politicians Tony Robinson and Phil Barresi who walked on that day with their children and the members of the community who would become very much involved in the now formed Heatherdale Community Action Group

Sharon Partridge has vowed  to continue her invovlement in the Heatherdale Community Action Group and continue to fight against noise and air pollution throughout the City of Whitehorse.
