On the subject of land fills we have a real issue in a south east place called Cranbourne. A new estate development was allowed to be built within 200 metres of a landfill after a VTAC approval that over ruled EPA warnings and allowed the developer to build not 500 metres but 200 metres from the landfill..

Residence are now being forced from their homes because of dangerously high levels (explosive levels) of methane gas leaching from the site. There are also reports of illegal substances being dumped at the landfill. That particular landfill has no liner. Its a mess.
