A dust study will begin in the Lonsdale area next month to help collect evidence of where dust is coming from and how it affects the community.
The EPA is installing air monitoring equipment at four locations around Lonsdale and Hallett Cove, with the data to be made publicly available online.
The aim of the study is to analyse the size of the dust particles and weather conditions to identify the potential sources of the dust that has been concerning locals.
EPA staff hosted a workshop with residents on 19 June to share information on how the study would be run, including how air quality monitoring equipment works and what sort of data it can collect, and to get input on the placement of the dust monitors.
Decisions are now being made on where the equipment will be placed, and another community workshop is planned for later this month.
