Dear Councillor Gillies,

I refer to the application by sell & Parker to increase their operations capacity to 600,000 tonnes per year.

I live in charles blacktown with my family and we frequently hear noise from their facility and it intrudes on our ability to peacefully enjoy our home and our quality of life.

I very much OBJECT to their application unless they solve the noise problem associated with their operations, and I hereby consent to you including me in objection you will lodge.

You are welcome to contact me anytime if needed

Dear councillor Gillies,
I refer to the application by sell & Parker to increase their operational capacity to 600,000 tonnes per year.
I live at Turner St, Blacktown NSW 2148 with my family and we frequently hear noise from this facility and it intrudes on our ability to peacefully enjoy our home and quality of life.
I very much OBJECT to their application unless they solve the noise problem associated with their operation, and I hereby consent to you including me in the objection you will lodge.
You are welcome to contact me any time if needed

We object to this application for the Kings Park Metal Recovery and Recycling Facility Expansion due to traffic concerns. We already suffer from major high traffic congestion in Romford/Tattersall Roads due to the trucks coming in and out of the Sell and Parker property. Trucks are constantly parking in the cul de sac on Romford Rd as well as lining up on Tattersall Road which in turn blocks any traffic from getting through until those trucks have finally entered the property. This also has major ramifications on the street parking in the area. Consequences leading to most organizations' employees and clientele not having the adequate spaces to park.
Unfortunately the congestion already causes headaches for the surrounding organizations, this expansion will only add to the problem.

I have lived at my current address since 1981 and therefore, for the entire time that the facility has operated.
In more recent years (last 3 years approx.) noise from the site has become more noticeable particularly at night. These events are irregular but will sometimes be problematic for 2-3 nights and then reduce/cease.
The noise levels emanating from the plant are sufficient to be heard over a tv in a rear sitting room of our house but admittedly with the back door open. They have also been sufficient that we have been woken by them, ( that is correct! the excessive noise is from time to time, outside the operating hours specified in your document.)
It is probably worth noting at this point that our dwelling is 1.29km from the site (as measured straight line distance on Google Earth)
I would contend that the monitoring points for noise in the documents are poorly placed and do not accurately represent actual living outcomes.
Further, existing noise abatement devices and large metal object handling practices at site are inadequate.
The current levels of activity with associated noise are marginally tolerable for our residential area, so increased activity could reasonably be expected to produce a highly
undesirable environment.

NO to increase to 600 000 tonnes per annum.
I have lived in Anthony st, Blacktown for 25 years. The last 12 months approx have become almost unbearable, we can longer open windows in our house because the noise of metal screeching, banging and loud thumps. This starts as early as 6am and can continue until 9pm 6 days a week. With the warmer weather coming I have the right to open my windows but I can’t, my tv is on to drown out the sound and that is with the windows closed. My pets are often jumping with fear because of sudden sounds from them. No longer can we enjoy our back yard or entertain outside. I no longer need an alarm clock because Sell and Parker wake me up even if I want a sleep in. How unbearable will be for us all if they almost double the amount. Please NO. Sell and Parker are located to close to schools and residential homes. I STRONGLY OBJECT

I object to this project as I am already distressed from the amount of noise pollution. I am currently struggling to work from home as I am constantly hearing crashing and banging from 6am until 9pm. This makes online client meetings quite difficult for me, not to mention how frustrating hearing that uncomfortable sound 6 days a week when I am meant to be in the comfort of my own home in a nice and quiet residential community. This is distressing for not only myself, but also my family and my neighbours. I can't even begin to imagine how much worse this already displeasing situation can get if the work they are doing doubles. I have spent my whole live living in this home and I am so upset and disappointed in how a project that causes so much noise pollution and distress to those in the surrounding residential area could be approved. I strongly object to the increase of work, the increase in noise in the last 12 months has been unbearable enough.
I am happy to provide videos of the noise we are facing on a daily basis however your upload platform will only allow PDF - contact me if you would like to follow up with this.

The name of the project does not reflect its impact. I believe its main focus will be a trash-to-steam approach, i.e., an incinerator. The problem with such projects is that they require a dedicated trash stream for the incinerator to be profitable. This negates any future focus on true resource recovery and recycling systems. Also, I have a concern that the burning temperature will not be high enough to completely burn such effluent components like benzine and other cancer-causing chemical. We lost China because our recycling content was contaminated. We need to make efforts to better sort recycling as it is done in Western Europe to increase the value of the recycling product. Then, jobs and infrastructure can "close the loop" from virgin materials thru use to disposal to the recycling system. Thank you.
