For Latrobe Municipality agriculture is a key contributor to the regional economy requiring seasonal worker support. Recently, Council has had several complaints regarding sanitation, occupancy numbers, and living conditions at properties within the municipality used to accommodate seasonal workers. Concerns have been raised about wastewater treatment systems, odours, number of tenants. Two investigations resulted in Council issuing emergency evacuation notices for the premises. These schemes should reflect the basic right to fit-for-purpose housing, to enshrine the health and wellbeing of our seasonal workers as a priority and to ensure the risk to public health and the environment is removed.
