The group have launched a 'Say No To Blantyre Farms (Piggery) in Harden' facebook site and are providing the public with an opportunity to lodge submissions and raise concerns in response to the Harden shire DA lodged by Blantyre Farms for a large scale intensive factory farm piggery.
A spokesperson for the group acknowledged the swiftness of the Harden Shire Council in putting the application up on their website as quick as they did.
"We are grateful for council's prompt response to our request in ensuring the DA details have been published on council's website to ensure the community and public have full access, as is required under the Government Information Public Access Act (GIPA)", the spokesperson said.
The group have a number of objections to the practices of the piggery and believe that odour that it will produce is cause for concern.
For anyone wishing to obtain more information and/or those who want to become involved should make contact via the facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/SayNoToBlantyreFarmsInHarden108958142816434/?ref=hl
