Sincerely Yours


Nick Higginbotham, PhD

This submission is on behalf of the Coal Terminal Action Group Dust and Heath Committee. The Committee strongly objects to this project on the basis that the community health, environmental, and socioeconomic impacts will far outweigh any short-term benefits the project claims it will deliver.


We formally request the opportunity to present to the Planning Assessment Commission when it is called.


Please find attached our submission for T4 Project RTS and PPR (PWCS) - Application No 10_0215. There are six supporting documents accompanying this submission. They are:


Appendix A. Coal Dust in Our Suburbs Report - residential air quality monitoring
Appendix B. Coal Train Signature Study Report - trackside air quality monitoring
Appendix C. Sick of Coal: Community attitudes toward the proposed fourth coal-loading terminal in Newcastle
Appendix D. Best practice guide for fugitive dust minimisation measures
Appendix E. Assessment of Measures Planned for T4 for Fugitive Dust Mitigation against Current Best Practice
Appendix F. EA for Bunbury Port Berth 14A expansion and coal storage and loading facility


Please note that we have read the Department's privacy statement and give consent for our details to be published. We have not given any reportable political donations.


Unfortunately the hyperlinks on page two of our submission have not remained active in the conversion to PDF. We will forward you a PDF of the same file with active links early next week.


Yours sincerely,
