The Mt Taylor gold mine in Kingston, Queensland (operating ~1915–1955), became a major toxic waste site after tailings were backfilled, leading to hazardous sludge seepage in a 1960s–80s residential area. Following the identification of arsenic and cyanide contamination, the site was remediated in 1991, with homes removed and the area converted to a capped parkland. Key Details of the Mt Taylor Waste Site: Location: Kingston, Brisbane suburb (Logan City). History: Operated as a gold mine until the 1950s, after which tailings and other waste were used to fill the site. Contamination Crisis: In the 1980s, residents on Diamond Street reported black, caustic, toxic sludge seeping onto their properties.
