Compost report line

THE Gazette reported in December 2014 that a community liaison committee had been established as part of the EPA licence for Elf Farm Supplies operating in Mulgrave. In an attempt to start an effective way to communicate between the community and Elf Farm Supplies, the CLC has established a phone line for community members who wish to make a complaint about odour they think may originate from Elf Farm Supplies. You can call 1800 155 079 to make your complaint or go to the website www.elfclc.org, which includes what is being discussed at CLC meetings, the committee’s Terms of Reference and a feedback page where you can contact the CLC or leave complaints.  The CLC meets on a quarterly basis.
