Environmental Impact Statement
Factors that we have considered in our assessment include:

• The highest and best use of the holding and impacts on market value and the use of the land for farming and grazing purposes;
• The project works as currently proposed and the impact on access for stock movements, heavy vehicles, farm machinery and general management and overseeing duties, from the parts of the property east of the line, to the parts on the west of the line.
• Cropping impacts and severance issues following the creation of narrow land strips along the western side of the line between the corridor and Ironbong Road;
• Impact on existing fence lines and water flow as a result of the works and changes to paddock configurations;
• Impacts on the use of the land on the western side of corridor south of Ulandra Creek due to access restrictions for heavy vehicles and machinery to these paddocks;
• Loss of a triangular area adjacent to Ulandra Creek underbridge which will be cut off from the rest of the property;
• Loss of the primary place of residence and associated improvements;
• Visual impacts over the landscape following construction of the line;
• Noise and vibration impacts as result of the new railway corridor including a crossing loop and maintenance siding;
• Distance and time delays to any proposed crossings and stock underpass points;
• Length of track and corridor through the property;
• Major bio-security issues with shared livestock crossings
• WH & S concerns with vehicle movements over designated crossings and fire risk associated with access restrictions and impacts of temporary occupation licences including long term effects on land capability to designated areas.

Attention Peter Hawke
I would like to express my objection to a construction compound #29 proposed location on my property to be used for Inland Rail -Illabo to Stockinbingal construction .Application number SSI-9406.If this compound was to be located in my paddock adjacent to Freemans lane level crossing it would have a huge adverse effect on the day to day operations of my property .With the rail dissecting the property and the Freemans lane crossing my only way of moving stock across the line a compound with numerous staff and constant vechicle movements would make this operation impossible.The construction of the compound was reviewed with Grant Johnson from Inland Rail and myself in November 2021 where I first objected to its location and I was informed the project team decided the compound was not required and would be removed.I would like it recorded that I objected to placement of the compound and understood it was removed from being needed.
Also in this submission I would like raise the issue of fencing the rail corridor at the Freemans lane level crossing.With the increased number of trains I am concerned the risk of livestock-train collisions is elevated.I would like confirmation that the corridor will be fenced at the crossing in a similar manner to Corbys Lane to reduce this risk and allow the orderly movement of livestock across the rail to continue under the increased use of the rail.
