CALL if you smell anything that makes you sick!
Latest indication is that it is NOT ANL but a strawberry farm nearby.
LATE EXTRA:
The EPA rang me last night to tell me that the smell was coming from a farm in Killara Rd. No legal action will be taken this time against the farmer.

What now?
I predict higher density housing, smaller block sizes and higher buildings on land inside the UGB.
Coming to a suburb near you soon!
Read the comments I made yesterday as well.

Forget Expanding Coldstream
by JASON DOWLING AND DEWI COOKE the AGE 25/2/2010
and see if you come up with the same view as me.
Mario's prediction:
Forget Expanding Coldstream, expect more dual occs.
Now that expansion of the UGB is dead I predict that Coldstream will not grow in any direction outside its UGB, however, I predict that new houses will spring up in the estate. Since there is no land left then look for a flood of dual occs in the area.
Blame all levels of government for this, stating with the local SYR council and then all political parties in the State system, Labour, Liberals and Greens.
Tell your kids that they will probably never be able to afford a house as house prices are expected to rise because of the shortage of land.
I know people who save enough for a deposit and while they save, the deposit amount increase because of the rapid rate in house and land prices. They can never achieve a deposit as the deposit required just gets bigger and bigger.
I also predict more high rise developments and I would not be suprised to see high rise appartments in Chirnside Park and Lilydale soon.
What I find amazing is that the Yarra Ranges is only about 5% residential the rest (95%) is rural or forest.
BAILLIEU BIDS UP FIRST HOME PRICES FOR YOUNG FAMILIES
Ted Baillieu has again shown contempt for Victorian families and Victorian jobs by voting down the Brumby Labor Government’s plans to provide affordable housing choice to Victorian families.
Planning Minister Justin Madden today said Mr Baillieu’s decision to vote down the Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution had the potential to inflate house prices by up to $30,000.

“Mr Baillieu is completely out of touch with Victorian families – and now has chosen to make it harder and harder for young families to buy their first home,” Mr Madden said.
Comment: GUYS, get your act together, while you argue our kids suffer!
How do you expect them to buy a house soon?
