Street Information Sessions

There was another information session held in local streets today, facilitated by the EPA, CFA, DHS and monitoring technicians. What can I say, there are still no guarantees, they are likening it to preparing for a bushfire if you stay, you need to prepare for changes. There was no further information that changed my mind that we should be looking for another property. There were some angry residents there, who were upset by the way they were treated when contacting City of Casey seeking information, or were left waiting from someone to check the methane monitors, but no-one turned up. (Our house was checked again today by CFA and was given the all clear.)

There were also some residents saying that their houses were shaking in the middle of the night. The CFA tried to say that it was the quarry blasting that I have mentioned before, but I don't think they blast in the middle of the night. They were a bit harsh on this resident, and he denied he imagined it! I did get the impression that they think some of us are jittery and are reporting things that are not due to the methane. But they also don't know, as to repeat what they have said, this has NEVER happened before. Sorry if we are all feeling a bit frazzled like this cat!

Jude Perera State Member for Cranbourne was walking the streets today. I have to say I have never ever seen so many politicians and councilors walking the pavement! When is election time again? I am sure council elections are soon.

I met with the DHS worker after the meeting and the EPA person. They are going to try and have the remediation works done on our house asap, as they know it will take some time to find another property. Lets see if that happens.
