I chose to move into this area for the quite and clean air for my family.
I can not understand how the quarry was approved in the first place.
We live 2 klms away and are zoned environmental protection area. A
bitumen plant will cause pollution in the area. The extra trucks will
cause noise polution. The roads how they have been patched up will not
cope with the extra truck traffic. They have cut down hundreds of
trees. How could this happen??? We are not allow to remove any. The
wild life will not cope. This multiquip modification is all about
extra profit and nothing more. If this makes it through when will it
stop? It will not be the end. Till 10pm at night they want to have
truck movements. Come on when will it stop?? With how multimedia is
these days good luck if it goes ahead.

The submission extends the intrusion of this quarry into the rural life
of the Bungonia community impacting traffic, water and other
resources. Approval was previously granted for operation under
particular terms that balanced the different interests involved but
now the operator seeks to extend these terms and will continue to try
and extend until they get everything that they want. This is a
violation of the original position and means that anytime a community
agrees to operation under certain terms they are then trampled over as
operators seek to push ever further with development. It is what leads
communities to completely rejecting all development as you can never
trust what is approved to remain the deal with dishonourable
developers.

My objection is to the performance based scheme and increased hours of
operation. By increasing product limits it would seem that more trucks
or bigger truck (ie) b-doubles would be used to transport the extra
materials out of the quarry area. This raises the ever increasing
concerns of trucks being on country style roads for which the roads
where never built for. Widening roads and spray tar with sprinkles of
rock does not make the roads better. It chips and cracks more
windscreens than ever before, the trucks often cross the double white
lines and more cars are found to over take trucks in more dangerous
situations. I personally for one was pushed off the road because a
truck on a left hand corner was over the double white lines, how I
escaped an horrific accident is beyond words. We have now installed
dash cams at a cost we never thought we would have to bear. This is
why I object to the development, due to more trucks, low police
presence, increase dangerous car drivers, damage to windscreens and
paint work and poor roads not build for tonnage of trucks.

I disagree with the increase in hours of transport along Jerrara road. As
a local resident this will have major impacts on our quality of life
as the extended hours will increase noise levels passing directly by
my residence. I also believe the impact on wildlife will be increased
and I have already stopped on many occasions to euthanise injured
wildlife as truck drivers rarely stop. The new trucks proposed by
multiquip are just as noisy as any other passing truck when going up
the road pass my house and as all the vegetation has been removed,
noise levels have increased drastically.
