Residents of a rural Victorian town who allege that the state’s largest goldmine is making excessive noise that is costing them sleep and causing health issues will have their claim heard in a supreme court trial.
Two residents of Axedale, about 22km from Bendigo, allege that the Fosterville goldmine, which is 3km from their property, has caused “excessive” noise since mid-2020 which prevented them from falling asleep.
