Submission in Opposition to State Significant Development Application 66409468
Name of Project: Western Sydney Airport Business Park
Address: 2422-2430 The Northern Road, Luddenham and 180 Adams Rd Luddenham NSW 2765
Application number: SSD 64409468 EXH-77600961
I, Dong Sik Ko on behalf of Dong & Young Pty Ltd, (DYPL) ,the owner of the land known as 180 Adams Road, Luddenham, also known as Lot 30 in DP 1251450, hereby object to the grant of development consent to the application noted above which is currently on public exhibition. The grounds of my objection are as follows:
1. The application proposes the construction of a road and other very significant engineering works within Lot 30. The application describes those works. DYPL has not granted owner’s consent to those works, with the result that the development application now on public exhibition has not been made. It is not a valid application in the absence of the owner’s consent of DYPL.
2. Although the development application proposes works within Lot 30, as described in the Environmental Impact Statement dated 22 October 2024 (EIS), the Department’s notification of the application does not notify the fact that works are proposed to be undertaken within Lot 30, as part of the development for which consent is sought. The application must be re-notified if the Department accepts the application as being valid. As already noted, DYPL submits that the application is not, in the absence of owner’s consent, a valid application.
3. The development application describes a very large development which will, when completed, rely completely on a proposed road through Lot 30 for access to Adams Road. DYPL does not consent to the construction of that road. In addition, the application does not address the legal status of the road proposed to be constructed through Lot 30. The applicant appears to be accepting that the road through Lot 30 will not be dedicated as a public road and will remain a right of access. It is entirely inappropriate for a major road, providing the sole vehicle access between the eight warehouses and Adams Road, to be a right of access rather than a public road. In the absence of any mechanism for securing the dedication of any constructed road as a public road, the application should be rejected.
4. If the applicant proposes to amend the application to delete any reference to works within Lot 30, and in particular to delete any reference to the construction of a road through Lot 30, then development consent could only be granted on a deferred commencement consent basis. The deferred matter would be the satisfaction of the Department that suitable legal and practical road access (in the form of a public road) will be available to the development through Lot 30.
Yours faithfully,
Dong Sik Ko
