Gibbston residents are being assailed by the smell of the dump again, and they are not happy about it. Gibbston Community Association chairman Craig Palmer said the smell from the Victoria Flats landfill had been markedly worse over the past few weeks, particularly on still mornings. "Most mornings when you step outside, you can definitely smell the dump,'' he said. A recurring issue for many years, the smell was more noticeable in the winter, Mr Palmer said. Although the landfill was an obvious potential source of the smell, the council needed to confirm that - and rule out other possible causes - before it could take action, Mr Winder said.
