Penrith Waste Recycling and Transfer Facility

EIS states a vehicle movement every 4 minutes. We would expect that there would often be queuing of vehicles in and around Peachtree road as is already the case for the local metal recycler. The EIS make no allowance for this.

A 5% increase in heavy vehicles in Castlereagh rd would be expected to add to the heavy traffic and extensive delays encountered in this area already. We do not agree with the EIS conclusion that extra traffic would not be noticeable to existing road users.

I object to it as it is too close to the mass resident area.

objection
it is too close to the high density residential area!

I strongly object to this project, it is only 5 minutes walk to my home.
It is too close and it is harm to our health and environment, and also effect our house price.
It is also very bad to the economic condition of Penrith

Firstly, this project does not fit the future urban plan for Penrith City as a whole. Since the city is rapidly transfering into a cosmopolitan city with large population and retail shopping place, having such project would affect the whole planning .
Secondly, having such project very close to the newly built residential area would affects the traffic badly. Thirdly, it will take off valuable land which can be developed into more appropriate planning for future Penrith city.

This facility will seriously pollute our residential environment, it should be built far away from residential environment

It's too close to our residential blocks with many young children.

It's too close to my house, so it will affect my living environment. It will be too noisy and dirty. It will potentially affected my house value.

The waste recycling and transfer center which you plan to makewould create problems for the community and its inhabitants such as the following. Large amounts of pollution will be created in the area and damage the natural environment. It would also encourage traffic jams and transport issues in the area surrounding it. The noise created would also affect the inhabitants of the area. These will reduce the live ability and convenience and comfort of Penrith, a community with a large and still growing population and cannot be allowed.

I have serious concern with the local environment for this application, which the company build a such facility within 500m radius to the high density residential area.

Is that the way you treat your local community? This is not acceptable.

The idea behind waste remediation is that hazardous waste needs to be handled with care to avoid polluting the environment.

I am a property owner in an adjacent street and find it difficult to understand that in 2017 there is an application to establish such a facility within an established business area. I operate my own business in Prince William Drive Seven Hills and from the moment I sit at my office desk in the morning I can hear the banging, grinding, machinery tracks noise, strong foul smell from the Waste Free Australia Pty Ltd Recycling Facility at 10 & 12 Artisan Road Seven Hills. The Artisan Rd facility does not handle many of the material products that are proposed to be processed by the Peachtree Road facility and this very fact makes the whole concept of having such a facility adjacent to the adjacent child care facility, Pub-Hotel and other business a real joke. This type of operation should be located elsewhere. It's establishment will greatly reduce the value of property in the immediate area as has happened in Artisan Road Seven Hill. It will also make the street dirty and cause loud noise, foul smells, concrete dust, other dusts, the bitumen road will be filthy black in two months, annoyance and many people could develop health issues.

To close to the place we living, not good for the environment of all living area, definitely object to it.

I have an investment property in the Thornton Estate.
I would like to make an objection to the application that the proposed recycling center is very close to the new residential development of Thornton Estate.
With regards to the close proximity between Thornton Estate and the recycling center i feel that it will impact on future developments that will be planned in the area.
I had no knowledge of any plans to build a recycling facility when i purchased my property in 2015 and I feel this will impact on Property prices!

the site is close to riverside park. how to control noise and dust pollution?

No comment

object to SSD7733 - remove working hours between 6.00 p.m. and 6.00 a.m.: noise nuisance likely( already subjected to noise from that area as it tends to echo across the Nepean River ) ;
likelihood of dust and odour emissions ; a greater strain and likelihood of further damage to Council roads from increasing numbers of heavy vehicles

I think this resource recovery facility is too close to people's living areas and it may cause dilution to water and environment which may harm whoever live nearby. Please consider to build this kind of facility to a rural area.

I am the owner of Murrays Sandwich Shop located at unit 1 , 52 Peachtree Road Penrith. My business is a food business and is located only 50 metres from the proposed waste facility. My concerns with the application can be broken into 5 parts all of which I believe with have significant detrimental impact to my business. They are Traffic congestion, Dust, Odour, noise and Vermin. I have an outdoor eating area where my patrons can sit in the sun and enjoy their lunch. They will not do this if there is the slightest hint of odour, noise and dust from the waste facility. I have discussed the proposal with my clients many of whom say they will discontinue coming if they have to battle further traffic as it is already a congested area. The simple reality is that a waste facility should not be located 50 metres from an existing business that prepares and sells food. There is a Subway located directly across the road and a McDonalds within 100 metres of the site which would also be affected,
