Rocky Hill Coal Project -Application No.SSD-5156
Dear Sir/Madam
I oppose the Rocky Hill Coal Project on the following grounds:
1. Proximity to residential areas
The mine is proposed only 900metres from the residential area of Forbesdale. These residents
will carry an unacceptable burden and will be impacted by dust, noise and loss of amenity,
resulting in risks to their health and loss of property value.
2. Impacts on Health
Health impacts from open-cut coal mines are well documented. With most of Gloucester township, including the hospital and schools, falling within the 5km health impact zone of the
Rocky Hill mine, this places a large percentage of the population at risk. Those most affected by
the health impacts are the very young, the elderly and the sick.
3. Impact on Tourism, worth $51M per annum to the Gloucester economy
An open-cut coal mine within 5km of Gloucester and within sight of the Bucketts Way will have an impact on the visual amenity of the area.
The mine will risk the jobs of hundreds employed in the tourism industry.
4. Environment
The proposed mine is on the Avon River floodplain and in the catchment area of the Manning River, which supplies drinking water to over 80,000 people. The Avon River has flooded 5 times
in 4 years, with 2 floods occurring in 2013. There is definite potential for contamination of the water in the catchment.
This mine should not be approved.
Yours faithfully
