The Smell Situation


Australian Native Landscapes has lodged with the Planning & Environment List of the Victorian Civil & Administrative Tribunal an Application to Amend Permit No. YR-200/164 in relation to the land situated at 527-529 Maroondah Highway Coldstream.

The amendment is to allow for the construction of works to mitigate the odour from the composting operations at the premises including the construction of a shed and an in-ground aeration system for the compost windrows.


The application and accompanying documents can be inspected at the offices of Shire of Yarra Ranges.

All persons who may be materially affected by the grant of the permit will be entitled to be heard upon the hearing of the application if before Tuesday 19 May 2009 they in writing notify the Principal Registrar of the Planning & Environment List, 55 King Street, Melbourne, stating how they may be so affected and that they wish to be heard.

Any notice given must state the grounds on which they intend to rely at the hearing. A copy of that statement must also be served on Australian Native Landscapes' solicitors, Moray & Agnew, Level 8, 440 Collins Street, Melbourne and Shire of Yarra Ranges' solicitors, Russell Kennedy, 469 Latrobe Street, Melbourne.


More will be written on this matter as information comes to hand, but I urge you to look at the plans at the Shire. It appears that ANL have gone straight to VCAT and bypassed the Shire with this application.
