 Recent debate in the community and in State and Federal parliaments has focussed on residential development near the previously isolated site.The PITC had maintained for many years that there should be a buffer surrounding its land in which no residential development should occur, and from the mid-1990s onwards, several members of parliament for the area tried to resolve this issue on behalf of neighbouring landowners.Some Landsdale residents in the already-developed section had also complained that the PITC facility interfered with their domestic appliances.
