RESIDENTS of Willow Lodge Caravan Park in Bangholme had been plagued by flies because park owners had not cut long grass, the City of Greater Dandenong claimed this week.
A petition from 47 Willow Lodge residents went to council on 25 October complaining about “flies in plague proportion” on a covering letter.
Officers investigating the matter reported that the source was likely to be long grass found on the property.
A nearby poultry farm was ruled out due to an additive the farm had introduced to prevent flies being attracted to chook manure.
