EPA & ANL @ VCAT


As you may know, EPA decided in May 2010 to refuse to isssue a Works Approval to Australian Native Landscapes Pty Ltd ("ANL") for its proposed upgraded composting facility in Coldstream. Since then, ANL has applied to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal ("VCAT") for a review of EPA's decision.

VCAT now requires ANL, as the applicant, to promptly give to all persons concerned, including people such as yourself who made submissions during EPA's consideration process, copies of all documents that are relevant to the VCAT hearing.

If you want to receive these documents, please provide a postal address asap by emailing community.engagement@epa.vic.gov.au so that EPA can pass on that address to ANL. ANL will then post the documents to you.

Please note that VCAT will not be hearing the case for several months. The first step is a Directions Hearing on 22 July 2010 at VCAT (55 King St Melbourne), which will map out VCAT's pre-hearing processes and schedule the hearing dates.
