I'm writing regarding the Current Development Application proposed by
Concrush Pty Ltd on Racecourse Road for expansion of their current
operations and my objection of the development. The Concrush site is
within a 500 metres of my home of 45 years and the proposed expansion
would reduce this distant significantly to about 300 metres.
My issue is with this development is the airborne dust that it creates
and the prevailing winds that currently deposit dust over the
properties in Boolaroo that blankets on everything and into everything
because it so fine and I liken it to talcum powder, you clean it off
and it back within a few days and this is happening now and has been
happening for years, as you can see from the attached photos.
Concrush has failed to keep the dust on their site. I have witnessed
the clouds of dust blowing around on their site from the local
Bunnings carpark which over looks the concrush present and future
sites
My health isn't good I suffer from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease and have kidney problems that the dust will have a detrimental
effect on my health if this expansion is to go ahead. If this
development is to proceed then there should be strict conditions on
their licence to how much dust they can produce and let out into the
surrounding area preferably none. Why cant we learn from the sulphide
(Pasminco) debacle that even today has left long term pollution legacy
on the area.
