Australian Native Landscapes (ANL)



EPA has received a Works Approval application from Australian Native Landscapes (ANL) to upgrade their composting facility at 527-529 Maroondah Highway, Coldstream.


In their own assessment of impacts, ANL has chosen the AERO-SORB® process to achieve maximum reduction in odour emissions; to be technically, logistically and financially feasible; and to be a proven technology that has been used for similar applications.

 ANL has contracts with the Cities of Manningham, Knox, Whitehorse and the Shire of Yarra Ranges to process kerbside collected green waste into compost products. The former Eastern Region Waste Management Group (trading as Least Waste), a predecessor of the Metropolitan Waste Management Group (MWMG), awarded the contract to ANL. MWMG is responsible for coordinating municipal waste management activities across Melbourne. If composting did not exist green waste would be sent to landfill.

This follows VCAT mediation. Proposed works include a receivables shed, aerated covers on all windrows piles and emissions treatment via bio-filters. The works approval is being advertised in the Herald Sun on Wednesday 3rd February 2010 and in the Lilydale and Yarra Ranges Leader and Yarra Ranges Journal on Monday the 1st February. If you wish to view the application online and provide comment go to www.epaapprovals.com.au or you can also provide comment at EPA’s works approval page.


The comments period will end on 24th February 2010. ANL will be running two open house sessions at the Coldstream site to inform interested parties about the intended works. The dates and times for these sessions are as follows:




•Session 1: Sunday 14th February, 10 am to 12pm.


•Session 2: Wednesday 17th February, 5 pm to 7 pm


EPA will hold a conference (under section 20B of the Environment Protection Act) in March allowing interested parties who have commented on the works approval the opportunity to ask questions to ANL with regards to the works approval application and to further explain any concerns to EPA.
