Steelforce Warehouse Facility.

This is industry not light retail. Residents are of the impression shops
and other community friendly facilities will be opened in this site.
In addition with the centrality it sends a negative message to all who
pass through this major intersection, driving house prices down and
making it look less inviting and more polluting. In addition
international visitors who will be using major roadlinks to and from
the new airport will receive a negative impression. This is a time
where our local community has a chance to shine. There are a heap of
industrial sites already near by around Casula and the back of the M7
at Hoxton Park Road. Please by all means build it BUT where the
industrial section is. We don't want anything other than a positive
impact for the community at Carnes Hill so residents such as myself
oppose the move

Hi, Just want to oppose this proposal as I believe it way to close to the
many schools and child care facilities in the area. There is enough
trafiice congestion already and that with the road upgrades and
airport to come. Plus this will leave us with even less nature strip
and trees Regards Concerned resident

I am a resident of the area this factory is being built & are not only
appalled but strongly against this. Our family moved to this area
18mnths with the health & safety of our kids in mind. Especially our
special needs child. As if all the therapy & special diet & extra
support wasnt enough. I now have have to worry about the air he
breathes where we live. The gases from aerosols & poisons that oil can
omit into the air will effects my sons capability to concentrate &
effect his asthma. I cant even take him to put petrol in our car & it
effects him. Im trying to give my son a better life by learning to
cope with the world. Having toxins around him is not the way to guve
him a chance

I object to the proposal on the following grounds: - the proposed
development does not meet a common sense definition of 'light
industrial' - it is too close to residential - the potential
detrimental environmental impact especially in the event of
accidents/spills - potential increased industrial/commercial traffic
on what are essentially residential roads

I believe that the proposal off this site is not an acceptable place due
to the growing amount of families that are in this area and the amount
off pollutants this site will be dispersing will affect young
children. I myself have a young family with a special needs child who
also has asthma the pollutants in the air and the toxins these may
create can affect my children in there brain developmental stages in
life. The area is a resudential area and there is no reason why it
should be put in the middle off all these houses with growing
families.

This is not a business that should be located in such close proximity to
primary schools, water ways, homes and businesses.

Please do not have an oil company this close to a residential area! It
will pollute our air with fumes and potentially contaminate our water
as well as disturbing the area with heavy vehicles throughout the day.

I object to the proposed oil manufacturing in our area due to serious
concerns to our community.

Massive environmental issue Not even zoned properly as it's a residential
area

I have been working in the paint industry over 20 years , i know how
dangerous of chemical . Now must stop work because got sick from the
chemical , can't breath properly , always feels short of breath.
Please do not let them build the factory .

I strongly oppose to this proposal as having such an plan so close to our
great park land and multiple school could be very hazzardist I don't
understand why we would allow an industrial plant at this location so
close to housing and beautiful park land there are plenty of
industrial site already they can exist on.

This is the most ill thought out idea I have heard in a long time.
Children walk all along this route to and from school. Safety for
children is paramount, not profit. Chemicals in the area and large
trucks put people at risk. This area is not zoned for this at all.
Council does not support it, neither do residents. No approach has
been made to all residents and planning is trying too slip one by us.
This is a residential area. Always was. We did not buy thinking the
area wouldbe turned into an industrial hub. Please stop Nulon from
operating within metres of homes.

I would like to lodge my objection to this proposal based on the dangers
posed due to the location and close proximity to homes, schools and
community facilities as well as the Western Sydney Regional Park and
local waterways and wetlands. A quick look online or a visit to the
site clearly show this location is not industrial, and is in extremely
close proximity to a large number residential homes. The number
residential sites surrounding this location is set to increase
significantly in the near future with large land releases within 3000m
to the west, north west, south and south east of the site. Future
developments in high, medium and low density residential properties
are already approved, and the plans for Leppington Town Centre will
bring another community precinct to fruition in the near future, with
educational facilities, health and medical facilities and retail space
already in the planning stages. A quick search online will show you
that within 3000m direct line of this site are currently 13+ schools
with estimated enrolments up to 8000+ children. Some of these are
newly opened schools, set to expand rapidly in enrolment numbers the
future. Lying just outside 3000m are both a number of primary and high
schools, with very large enrolment numbers. There are also numerous
child care centres, a number of elderly care facilities and acres and
acres of land still being farmed and worked by local primary
producers. In the future the proposed site will be surrounded on all
sides by residential properties, community and private facilities,
retail and open space. The influx of workers and visitors to the
areawho could be at risk, is forecast to be a huge increase on current
numbers. The nature of the business to be conducted at this site is
too dangerous to be approved so near to these already established and
populated areas, which will be even more densely populated in the near
future. The risk this development would pose of a major incident
occurring due to mechanical failure or human error, would be a very
real daily threat to local families, schools, child care centres,
community facilities and local flora and fauna. Depending on the
severity of an incident such as a chemical spill, explosion, fire, gas
leak or other disaster, the impact would be catastrophic to the
immediate areas. Incidents will happen, and have happened at the
Moorebank site operated by this company. This company has previously
been fined for breaches resulting in emissions of toxic fumes from the
Moorebank factory. I am deeply concerned with the risks associated
with this type of operation and strongly opposed to having such a
hazardous operation located within our community. The hazardous
products to be stored, mixed, refined and transported are carcinogenic
and can be directly related to the development of tumours, rashes,
lung and respititory complications due to both direct and indirect
exposure. The detrimental effect of fumes from the plant to the very
young, frail, elderly and chronically ill pose a real and genuine
threat - keeping in mind there are numerous child care centres,
schools and elderly facilities within 3000m of this site, with two
child care facilities within 500m direct line from the site. The Air
Quality Impact Statement states on page 10 that "emissions of volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) and associated odour ARE ANTICIPATED". How
can a development from which fumes "are anticipated" possibly be
suitable for approval so close to families and homes? It is illogical
and no local family should be expected to accept such risks, or
possible reduction to their property value, from a new development
immediately next to their long established suburb. I am disappointed
with the lack of information provided first hand to the local
residents regarding this proposed development. My home is less than
2000m direct line from the site. No direct notification was received
at my property regarding this proposal. This type of operation needs
to be located in an appropriate heavy industrial area, sufficiently
distanced from families, residential developments and local community
precincts to minimise any impact on the health and welfare of local
residents and local flora and fauna. Considering these points, it is
my opinion that the proposed site is clearly not suitable for this
type of operation, and I would strongly urge the NSW Department of
Planning and Environment to reject the development of this plant at
this site. Regards, Fiona Roppolo Local Resident

This is highly inappropriate to have so close to housing and parkland.
Who would want this near their homes? Not a pleasing backdrop to the
lake behind it.

* The land/ block/ area chosen has been approved for light industrial use
only NULON is attempting to build a heavy industrial site that the
council approved for cafes, restaurants, park lands, shops * The
impact on our local roads from increased traffic congestion due to
heavy vehicles, oil tanker trucks operating 24/7 * The risk of a heavy
vehicle incident involving hazardous materials in/ around our local
community * The very real daily threat to our local families/ schools/
day care centres of a major incident occurring due to mechanical
failure or human error. The impact would be catastrophic to the
immediate area/s depending on the severity of the incident (explosion/
fire etc...) * The immediate threat to the surrounding environment/
community/ residents should there be a major spill due to on site tank
rupture due to fire incident occurred in or around or local community
* The hazardous products stored, mixed, refined, transported are
carcinogenic and can be directly related to the development of
tumours, rashes, lung and raspatory issues/ complications when exposed
either directly or indirectly * If you can smell it, its affecting
you, no price on my families health, zero tolerance * The daily
smells, the trucks running all night and day * The lack of community
consultation by NULON we didn't know, until now and found out second
hand * Incidents (not accidents) will and have happened, we will not
take the chance of having such a hazardous operation directly within
our family community * Previous incident occurred at the Moorebank
factory where an oil mixing/ blending machine was left running until
the fire brigade were alerted via an electronic direct alarm, when
they attended they found that the blending machine had been left on
unattended, if that alarm had failed the result ,worst case, could
have been multiple fatalities. 48 people suffered chemical exposure
symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, head ache/ migraines/ sores and
rashes as a result. We will not take that chance with our families/
community and surrounding areas. * Processes and procedures can be
diverted from/ due to fatigue, poor training, poor operational culture
(meeting deadlines/ company expectations), alcohol, drugs, repetition
(breeds complacency/ laziness/ take short cuts) these would be classed
as an example of human error * We will not live with the daily fear of
a minor, major or any incident ever occurring within our immediate
community, there is no price that can be put on our families lives/
health/ wellbeing no amount of compensation would ever take back the
damage done * If this factory is build it will lower our housing
prices considerably, as who wants to live near an oil/ aerosol
production factory/ distribution centre (this is one reason NULON has
proposed to build next to established homes, would you buy next to
NULON?) * People/ children/ elderly with pre-existing medical
conditions in the area such as autism, asthma and so on would be
greatly affected

This proposal is a major environmental concern for the area with the
possibility of industrial accidents with possible blast zones and air
pollution as well as increased traffic and noise. The proposal backs
on to residential properties including a pre-school. This part of our
area was designated part of our Western Sydney Parklands and should
not have such a large industrial facility that will have such an
impact on residents and wildlife alike. Close proximity to employees
residents is not a legitimate reason to have this facility located so
close to residents. I myself live 50kms from my place of business as
so many other locals. West Hoxton/Carnes Hill was recently named the
best place in Australia for families to live with a report on the news
and now this proposal is likely to jeopardise that standing. This
facility can not go ahead.

Dangerous to the environment and families in the area

more traffic and congestion -already bad enough. poor, unhealthy,
dangerous levels of air quality. Previous incident at Moorebank
factory. my child has asthma - this will make it worse and even fatal.
Accidents - human error - residential properties nearby even childcare
centres - risk to lives. The surrounding suburbs are full of families
with children - is there really a need to set up an oils factory here
(to generate revenue) and compromise the health of children and
families? Totally unaware of this - why weren't we informed?????
HEALTH and SAFETY is way too important to me and my family. This
factory does not need to exist here in a heavily populated and growing
residential area.
