INVESTIGATIONS of alleged illegal native vegetation clearing at a Newbridge farm continue.
Loddon Shire in January confirmed it had started a probe into the removal of trees at Avicenna Farm.
A spokesperson said: “This matter is still ongoing. There is no further progress to report as yet.”
The Wimmera Highway property is being investigated by Agriculture Victoria after allegations of poor animal management when a large number of dead sheep were reported.
Part of the farm was later bought by Coliban Water after auction. It is proposed to use the site as a biosolids base.
