On Saturday, police issued a warning to residents in the area surrounding the property as they planned to safety detonate the chemicals. 

‘Nearby residents have been temporarily relocated until the scene is cleared as a precaution,’ Detective Acting Inspector Darren Latham said. 

‘We’d like to let members of the public know there may be some activity in the area this afternoon, including loud noises, while police safely dispose of some chemicals in a nearby open paddock, but there’s no cause for alarm. 

‘There is no threat to the community and members of the public are asked to avoid the area as a precaution.’
