Authorities in the rural Victorian town of Bendigo have declared the area safe after a series of warnings were issued about a hazardous gas leak on Sunday afternoon.


Earlier, an emergency warning was issued for an “extremely dangerous” and rapidly dissipating unknown chemical believed to have been leaking from a regional Victorian factory, with some residents near the Parmalat milk factory at Bendigo warned of a biological hazard and told to stay indoors, closing off windows, doors and air conditioners.


In an update issued shortly before 4pm, residents were advised they were no longer at risk.


“The hazardous gas leak in North Bendigo is now safe.  Fumes are no longer emitting from the leak,” Vic Emergency advised.


People located within the area are now able to resume normal activities.”


CFA vehicles were at the scene after emergency services were alerted about 1.45pm Sunday.
