The EPA's acting regional manager for the Southern Metro area, Steve Lansdell told Melbourne's Radio 3AW, 'we are doing absolutely everything we can to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.'

A mother with a five-week-old daughter, said this constant smell keeps her 'up all night, feeling nauseous, with headaches and feeling unwell.' 'I've just packed up my things and her things and taken her down to my parents house two hours away...just so she can have some fresh air,' the woman added. She said: 'It's quite frightening...and it is leaving a 'horrible taste in my mouth.'

'They say what we are smelling isn't bad in the short term, but it's sort of starting to turn into a long-term issue...it's happening everyday,' she said. She added that this has caused her to vomit more than she had been previously. A third resident, Steven, who has a three and one-year-old, stated: 'The smell is horrific, it is leaking into your house.' 'We even have to decide which door we are going to let our dog out...so the 'smell won't get to our bedrooms, it is that bad.' 'It is disgusting, we live not far from farmland and initially I just thought it was manure,' he added. The residents received an email over the weekend after everyone in the estate reporting the smell.

'Their machines must be broken, like it is disgusting.' While a fourth resident, Jenny, who's lived in the area for seven to eight years, said it 'originally is smells like a rotten egg, hydrogen sulfide type of smell, other times it smells like it's mixed with other gases.' 'We just can't shut the windows and escape it and hide inside cause within two hours or so, the whole house is smelling like it.' Members of the EPA will be at the local Woolworths again on Friday to provide updates on the situation. They will also be hosting an online community forum on July 14.
