I am submitting objections against the Clarence Colliery MOD 5 - Workforce Increase application.
Reasons for my objection;
* Traffic flow along Chifley Road to and from Clarence Colliery - This is already a dangerous route due to the extended traffic flow of heavy vehicles as other transport. The road is in need of major upgrades to cope with current usage without the deemed increase in traffic usage.
* Potential increase in collisions with wild animals due to increase in traffic flow.
* With the increase of workforce comes the increase in coal extraction. This will cause environmental damage to the surrounding National Park and Residential area.
* Police patrols are already not adequate for the traffic currently using Chifley Road. It is unsafe to travel in the area with the number of drivers flaunting the law, I have personally avoided a number of collisions because of unsafe drivers, many have been current traffic entering and departing Clarence Colliery.
* Potential decrease in value and the appeal of living in the Clarence area due to the increase in activities of Clarence Colliery.

Council considers the Environmental Assessment adequately highlights the relevant issues, and has no objection to the project subject to Council’s original conditions remaining on the consent.
However; Council may like the opportunity to enter into a Voluntary Planning Agreement per employee to go towards community facilities and services. Council has a Section 94A Contributions Plan which imposes a 1% Contribution on all development over $200,000. As there is no valuation costs associated with the development, a Voluntary Planning Agreement should be considered.
Please note that a supplementary submission from Council may be required upon a report being presented at the next Council meeting on 22 July 2019.
