Kariong Sand and Soil Supplies Facility

I am living on the same side I am not looking forward in hearing machines running and making extra noise and vibrations.
Plus the extra traffic of heavy vehicles etc. it is bad enough with the traffic from the high school and the new development going on in the Mt.Penang area.
As with the water issue we can not afford any miss Happs and polluting the water ways and under ground supplies.
Dust and smells in the wind Carrie all over Kariong and down to Gosford areas.
It should not be Aloud in a built up area,roads that can not take any more trucks etc as it is not coping with what is coming through the area.
Please think of the Community and do not let this go a head.

I completely support this development because it will create a good number of jobs in the area. It will also be a good place to get supplies.

This is a great initiative and a welcome development to our area. As well as creating a number of jobs, it will have benefits to businesses in the area and environmental benefits as well. A great addition to the Central Coast.

I hereby support the expansion and upgrade of the Kariong Sand and Soil Supplies resource recovery facility to enable the receipt, processing and storage of up to 200,000 tonnes per year of non-putrescible construction and demolition waste.
I support the upgrade for a number of reasons, including the ability to substantially reduce the amount of waste that is currently being tipped into landfill. The materials that this facility will accept are all able to be turned into products which can be re-used by local builders and landscapers. The facility will make these products more accessible and bring prices down through competitive pricing. Many objections to this upgrade are unfounded, including complaints as to the location of the site. The lot is located within the industrial zone with very low residential population in the surrounding area. Being close to the freeway exits, it is ideally located so as to reduce traffic on other less capable roads. Objections relating to environmental issues are also unfounded, as many precautions and offsets are being implemented in the expansion. This facility will in fact have a net positive impact through material re-use and recycling. Given the diligence undertaken to minimise any potential negative impacts, plus the environmental and economic benefits of this expansion, there are very few reasons to object to this development. In fact, any objections should be reviewed and considered very carefully, as there may be a lack of understanding of the project or alternative motivations behind them.

Backhouse Creative are in full support of this application to upgrade the recycling yard into a state of the art and well considered facility.

This facility will be a state-of-the-art facility converting sand, soil and building materials into 100% recycled building and landscaping supplies. The products will be of high standard and used mainly in the Central Coast region. The facility will receive, process and store inert materials such as soil, sand and building materials which do not smell and are mainly from building sites. It will not accept any hazardous materials or chemicals such as asbestos, household rubbish or biodegradable waste. Every load will undergo visual inspections before being accepted, and pre-screening will add an additional layer of scrutiny. Numerous assessments have been undertaken to ensure that any potential impacts on neighbours and the environment will be negligible. This facility will bring more than 20 new jobs and a significant boost to the local economy representing an important piece of infrastructure on the Central Coast. This development represents a substantial investment in waste reduction and sustainability which will provide environmental and economic benefits to the Central Coast and surrounding regions.

This proposal is a fantastic initiative which has many benefits for both the environment and the local economy. Most, if not all, the possible negative aspects of this development have been specifically and adequately addressed in their updated submission. They will even be doing the crushing inside! With the job creation and reduction in landfill this facility will bring, it's a no brainer that this facility should go ahead.

I support this 100%. It's in the perfect location just off the freeway and there are very few houses nearby. There shouldn't be any reason not to support a project like this because it'll help the local community with jobs and also help the environment.

Recycling rubbish is good for the environment.

We need all the jobs we can get and this facility will create both skilled and unskilled labour positions and the opportunity for internships as well.

This project will help to make a sustainable future.

Our application will create a state-of-the-art facility converting sand, soil and building materials into 100% recycled building and landscaping supplies. The products will be of a high standard and be used mainly in the Central Coast region. The facility will receive, process and store inert materials such as soil, sand and building materials which do not smell and are mainly from building sites. It will not accept any hazardous materials or chemicals such as asbestos, household rubbish or biodegradable waste. Every load will undergo visual inspections before being accepted, and pre-screening will add an additional layer of scrutiny. Numerous assessments have been undertaken to ensure that any potential impacts on neighbours and the environment will be negligible. This facility will bring a significant boost to the local economy and will represent an important piece of infrastructure. It will create more than 20 new jobs on the site alone, and provide a number of additional jobs on the Central Coast through contractors and other related works. This development represents a substantial investment in waste reduction and sustainability which will provide environmental and economic benefits to the Central Coast and surrounding regions.

I would like to show my support for this development application for a number of reasons: This will help reduce waste going to landfill, it provides a place to recycle materials which can be reused, it creates a number of jobs for the Central Coast, it will give excavators and demolishers a cheaper location to drop their materials off, it provides builders and landscapers with quality recycled products, shops and cafes in the area will benefit from more visits.

We should all be supporting projects like these that are good for environmental protection through waste diversion. Other positives include more jobs in the area, a good source of landscaping supplies and a place to tip reusable materials.

Anything that reduces recyclable waste ending up in landfill is a good idea. People saying it's not good for the environment obviously don't understand what this development is about. And it's inside the industrial estate. Where else should they put it? It's not a general waste dump, it's for building materials that can be reused. Nothing will smell, there are no chemicals, all the crushing is being done indoors so there's no risk of loads of dust in the air. Great job opportunities as well.

This will be a good facility for tipping off and picking up materials which can be reused for road base and agg. I'll definitely be going there for tipping and crushed concrete products.

I am concerned with the amount of truck movements that wil be required to place 200,000 tonnes of waste into the facility. I estimate there to be nearly 416, 000 tonnes a month in the centre which I beleive will be over 105 truck movements a month. And hopefully the TMP only lets them use Wisemans Ferry and Gindurra Road Somersby for entry and exit. Further I am concerned about the amount of concrete dust and timber dust the facility will create, there it is imperative that the misting system is on all day whenever the facility is in operation. Hopefully by stored water, with a back up of town water if stored water is depleted.

My reasons for supporting this project are: Creating local jobs, boost to local economy. A need for landscaping materials on the Central Coast. A need to recycle building materials on the Central Coast. A sustainable vision for the Central Coast. Diverting waste from landfill.

Exactly what we need up there. Good for turning old building materials into landscaping products.
