Ingleburn Resource Recovery Facility

I object to increasing the throughput and storage capacity of hazardous waste. This is far too close to residential areas.

Having been a resident for 15 years, I am concerned that the facility is not commensurate with the surrounds and nearby residential area. Current planning has indicated 'medium density' housing is intended, and high density further towards the town centre from my address. The proximity to homes, noise pollution, hours of operation and 'dust' that I have witnessed on many occasions from the site are cause for concern. I have personally observed increased levels of air pollution in the area, clouds of dust frequently generated from the site. I feel strongly that the facility is not suited to the area and to allow further expansion is not in the best interests of the community, Ingleburn village and local residents. I have previously consulted with neighbours in the area those I have spoken to agree. I have reviewed the majority of the proposal and find that the commentary about the 'majority' of work being conducted indoors, does not preclude any environmental, noise, air, water, pollution the site generates. Further the proximity to water courses is not considered.
Consideration to relocation of the site is requested if further expansion is neccesary. The application is not consistent with the surrounding 'industrial' businesses. Waste recovery facilities should not be expanded nor introduced in residential proximity.
The letter drop they have claimed was not received in my mail box either.

It is too close to residential properties with noise and cement dust already being a problem, expanding the size and operating time will cause massive issues for the surrounding residents. Many of which are young families and the elderly.
It will raise major health concerns in the future for long standing residents, due to the nature of cement dust.
It will likely also destroy property values for the area.

The facility is too close to the residential area and the sporting ground. The residents can already hear the loud banging noise comes from the facility during the day and there are a lot of elderly people living within a few hundreds meters of this facility. I have a great concern over the noise and air quality within 500 meters of this facility if the project is going ahead.

The basis on my opposing of the expansion is predominantly on Health & Safety of both Staff and contractors who attend my workplace.
Key notes as follows
• Current increased flow of Tip trucks/Concrete agitators has made Kerr road quite a dangerous street – It is a 50km/h zone and quite regularly (as common across all of Sydney) these vehicles are running at estimated speeds of 80 to 100 km/h, This has caused major concerns for both my logistics contractors entering/exiting property along with staff along with several near miss incidents – Bulk Recovery solutions have made no attempts to monitor the way their customers are treating safety prior to entering or post leaving their site.
• Concrete agitators aswell as pump trucks regularly washing out excess in gutters if unable to enter Bulk Recovery solutions in time
• Excessive dust issues on windy days caused by current plant
• Excessively unclean roads which are then washed down into storm water drains by unregistered plants driving up and down Kerr road

If expansion is allowed it is furthermore creating unsafe/unhealthy conditions for all other residents in Kerr Road. With current issues due to operations quite a regular occurrence
As far as noted no infrastructure upgrades have been proposed to accommodate the increased excessive traffic flow nor any reason given to believe that correct health and safety procedures will be implemented as they have not been in the past.

The air quality in the area has progressivley gotten worse over the last 10 months.I have Asthma and it has gotten worse in these 10 months and i now rely on my medication daily, i used to use it twice a week.
From what we can seen from the road they have uncovered waste materials in there yard for processing, the wind picks up this and distributes it around our local area. I am curious to know if this is Aspestos?
If the increase production of waste there will be alot more trucks on our road and this is getting dangerous now with the amount of trucks, it will not be long before there is an accident involving their trucks.
The water they spray on Kerr rd, i am not sure if this is even legal.If the water is clean shouldn't it be put into the drains. This water will be dirty and contain some type of contaminent that is not known to anyone.The water is from their trucks to clean out any waste materials, then sprayed onto the road.

Dear Independent Planning Commission,

Re Development Application SSD-8593 (16 Kerr Road Ingleburn, NSW 2565)

As the owner of the neighbouring property (15 Kerr Roads Ingleburn) we object in the strongest possible way to Development Application SSD-8593. If approved, this development will cause immeasurable harm to the businesses that operate out of 15 Kerr Road. The environmental harm, economic damage and damage to the local community that we believe will flow from this Development Application (if approved) has been outlined in the attachment named "Objection to Development Application SSD-8593".

Additionally, we believe that other businesses located along Kerr Road will suffer from a dramatic increase in heavy vehicle movements (see attachment "Complaints from Local Businesses"). Residents have also expressed serious concerns about this Development Application (as evidenced by the attached petition which has been signed by over 40 residents).

We ask that the Independent Planning Commission seriously consider the points raised in this objection and take note of the fact that both residents and local businesses oppose this Development Application.

Yours sincerely
Frederick Newman

Noise pollution, Increased heavy traffic in the area and air pollution are my main concerns for objecting to this project.
