Farley residents are calling on Maitland Council to reject plans for a proposed crematorium in the rural village.
The development has been on the drawing board since April last year, but many residents only first became aware of it when a story was published in the Maitland Mercury on January 14.
Locals are concerned about the impact of mercury and dioxin emissions from the crematorium.
Residents only have until February 12 to lodge submissions.
A public meeting is being held on Tuesday morning at 10.15 adjacent to the proposed site on Old North Road.
