Town calls foul: VCAT decision on facility a 'waste' of time
BY LISELOTTE JOHNSSON
RESIDENTS living near Coldstream's composting facility say the past fortnight has brought worse odours than ever, despite a recent Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal order placing limits on the facility.
A recent VCAT ruling that followed a hearing at the end of May this year has adjourned until December its decision on whether to close the plant.
It has, however, ordered ANL to stop receiving green waste at the facility by October 25 and to process remaining waste within a further three months.
But VCAT would not rule out giving the company a permit to build a shed on the property to modify its processes to reduce the smell.

I wish to remind residents to ring the EPA when there is a smell. I know that we are all sick of ringing but it is our only ongoing evidence.
