Trentham, Victoria. I agree with some of the things Angelw1 says in this. I live in Trentham. Some of the locals are full of self importance and do not understand nor respect personal boundaries, they can be intrusive who seem to want to assert their control over individuals who just want to be left alone and keep to them selves. Yes there were health issues and scares with Koppers Arch the wood preserving factory using chemicals and complaints were made to EPA. This factory has also been mentioned in other web sites as one of the worst. We developed breathing issues from problems breathing in strong chemical smells in the air which we reported to the EPA. Yes smoke is an issue as some of the locals have very little consideration from constantly burning wood and polluting the air into their neighbours and again causing breathing issues. We want fresh air not my neighbours smoke. Yes, there were real estate developers who themselves have been unethical including burning of debris from their building and property/building developments including plastic and did not bother to let us know ( as the adjacent neighbours) that they were planning to burn - their selfish and ignorant behaviour. Most of Trentham falls within the Hepburn Shire and this Council is prejudiced, unsupportive, creates exclusion, inadequate and most unprofessional from mostly rude Officers. Which is all unacceptable and illustrates their lack of equal opportunity - They're horrible. So there are all sorts of offenders in Trentham. Charlotte27 you're in denial. And as to your comment that a person has "mental health issues" you are actually prejudiced your self and the fact that you use his health as a weakness to his/her argument and shame a person is actually an indication of how backward you really are. Current reports from the media say that in rural and regional Victoria mental health issues are higher, including higher rates of suicide. Again Charlotte27 this shows how ignorant you really are of local and regional/rural issues. Why don't you support people with mental health issues instead of shaming them ?

Why don't you move? Or do you just love wallowing in your own misery?

There are unfortunately some people that just love to suck the life out of the good things out there. These are the people that dont know how to have fun. These are the people that are so entrenched in the bad things that there isnt any room for the good things to grow.

If You Were Any More Negative You Would Collapse Into A Black Hole.

Some people are so negative that they collapse into their own negative feedback loop where everything they see is viewed in a negative light. Dont let them suck you down into their dark abyss. They cannot see any light from outside because they are stuck in a giant gravity well of their own negative thoughts and emotions. This kind of person doesnt form overnight, but at some point, they collapse into their own negative space, never to return. They suck away your energy and give nothing back. Keep your distance from them lest you get sucked down as well. If anyone lacks guts it's you!

Charlotte27 "compared to nearby Woodend which is filling up with new housing estates" ? I don't agree with you on this because Trentham is filling up with new housing estates. Fact: there are more than 5 housing estates in Trentham, 1 Gunyah, 2 Groves St, 3 Mulcays Rd, 4 Blue Mount Rd, 5 Falls Rd etc. And there have been new developments in just about every street in Trentham. And there are current property developments including Market St, Victoria St, Albert St, High St etc etc. These developments/housing are very easy to see, all one has to do is open their eyes when driving or walking around or view the permits online. That's a lot of housing for Trentham, a small country town of a population 1,180 . There are big, large, larger blocks in other regional housing estates.
