ONE of the men charged with the murder of Jarrad Lovison was refused bail when he appeared in the Supreme Court yesterday. Andrew Price was charged with one count of murder on October 21, last year after the Newborough man’s body was found in Moondarra State Park. Justice Paul Coghlan asked Crown Prosecutor Mark Gibson SC about delays in the case against Mr Price. “Everyone needs to understand that what I’m saying about those questions of delay, they are, in cases like this, to be taken seriously and I don’t know what’s going to happen with other accused,” he said. “It may be that if another accused happens to be granted bail, it might change the position of this applicant as well, but they’re all matters for the future.” Mr Price’s lawyer, Julian McMahon SC, told the court last week that “forensic reports even leave open the question of whether there was a murder”. Co-accused Jake Brown, 28, and Samantha Guillerme, 24, were also charged with one count of murder in October. The three are set to appear before a magistrate again on March 4.

Dr Jayaweera said some of the detailed design planning would include investigating baseline land and groundwater conditions. It also included final details for building ventilation, pollution control, waste water treatment and storm water management systems, as well as designs for onsite chemical storage.

and periodical air emission monitoring programs. These plans include a construction environmental management plan and a communications and engagement plan for the construction phase. “We hope to be the catalyst for renewed investment in the region, particularly in broader recycling, recovery and re-purposing endeavours, including future value added battery manufacturing for energy storage,” Dr Jayaweera said. “Both Chunxing and I look forward to becoming a major employer in the region and a valued member of the local business community. We look forward to working with you.”

CHUNXING plans to start constructing its Hazelwood North used lead acid battery recycling plant in June, and will begin undertaking detailed design planning to get the process underway. Chunxing chief executive officer Lakshman Jayaweera outlined the next phase of the plant after it gained development approval from the Planning Minister Richard Wynne early this month. Dr Jayaweera also confirmed that added conditions would be voluntarily attached to the building plans. This included carrying out regular soil testing in
the surrounding land both before commissioning the plant and then every three-to-five years. Other conditions included 24-hour air monitoring, designated areas for independent air monitoring, and establishing a community liaison committee. Dr Jayaweera said the company was “committed to the people of the Latrobe Valley”. “We are grateful to many in the community that have encouraged and supported us,” he said. “Their views have tended to be in line with an interest in investment in local jobs with the view that the approval bodies have now made their decision and it’s time to get on with it.” Chunxing has also started its initial recruitment
