Vopak Bulk Liquids Facility Upgrade

I oppose the construction of seven liquid-fuel storage tanks holding up to 200 mega-litres of flammable and combustible fuels and the building of new pipelines under Friendship Rd to an existing Vopak terminal on the grounds that it will add to an already dangerously volatile and over loaded situation in the Port Botany/ Botany / Matraville areas, a time bomb waiting to explode. The traffic congestion caused by the construction will cause major difficulties to our already seriously congested road network. The State Government is already forcing changes upon the people of the this area by dismantleing our democraticly elected local councils and amalgamating with other democratlcly elected local councils.

* I would like the serious concern of a terrorist attack on the terminal addressed together with the cumulative impact of an explosion in the south eastern area (that is -an explosion at this facility and how many other industries in the area would add to the explosive effect if triggered)
* What gasses can be released into the atmosphere and their health effects on residents
* Traffic impact study and how this affects local residents and traffic on the surrounding areas
* Please keep me updated with any progress and responses

The increase in usage of the Port Botany region for the transfer of Dangerous Goods from See to other modes of transport logically leads to an increase in risk in the region.

The increased facility will lead to an increase in the number of truck movements carrying DG's through street in the vicinity of the facility. Some of the designated dangerous goods routes have residences fronting them.

the EIS does not address this.

what risk will the final approved facility impose on neighbouring streets through the road transport of dangerous goods?

This information is required in order to provide a submission to the DoPE.

can you please advise when the QRA for transport of dangerous goods will be available.

thanks
