the impact on Barker Street from the construction of Newmarket was horrific. The constant passing of the trucks up and down Barker Street (a council ranger came to my house and witnessed approximately 9 trucks within 5 minutes of each other)
The wear and tear of the road (pot holes)
I complained to council to re-direct the trucks but to no avail until one day a truck pulled down the wires and caused a deadlock of traffic for hours.
Should this project go ahead, I would request that the trucks are re-routed to Rainbow Street via Willis Street as they would not need to use 2nd gear thus reducing the noise levels.

Please refer to attached submission

I object to the project due to the
- the severe risk of fire, and no definite fire plan for fire control. There needs to be trained personnel, and dedicated equipment not local RFS volunteers
-environmental impact wind turbines on bird life, and flora and fauna. What about the endangered Plains Wanderer bird
-The visual impact to adjacent landholders, and the Jerilderie Village is appalling (especially the separate towers block close to Jerilderie) is a visual disturbance
-blades cannot be recycled, as shown in other Australian wind turbine projects and countries.Fly into pieces. We were told by Origin that they are working on how to recycle the blades, but nothing in writing
-plague locust control around turbines
-Telecommunications affected locally by demand of the workers village and project
-increase demand on local hospital and Gp, with double population during project build
