I object the modifcation of the Volatile Organic Compounds outlet limit from 1 mg/m3 to 4 mg/m3. This is a massive increase compared to the already approved limit.

Please consider the health of the children and local residents and implement better filtering to maintain the air quality. We have chosen to live in this area because of it's better quality air. It is very disappointing that there was a misunderstanding at the rating of the air quality was a mistake and that it is going to be 3-4 times worse than originally anticipated. This should be met with better filtering mechanisms.

It is unacceptable that a transcription error is being put forth as an excuse to change the VOC ventilation outlet limit from 1 to a factor of 4 times the initial submission. The public are aware, and the public are outraged. This increase will put users of the tunnel, and residents of surrounding NON-FILTERED stacks at an increased risk of significant health diseases, all of which have been well-documented in medical journals. Recommendation 13 was published as part of the 17 December 2018 report following the parliamentary inquiry into the impact of the Westconnex project, and states that filtration systems should be installed on all current and future ventilation stacks. I demand a review before the project goes further, with a call for filtration of the Northconnex ventilation stacks.

Calculated and Corrupt.
To claim it was "typo" in regards to the emission levels on the EIS is wholly calculated and utterly unacceptable. The audacity to even offer this as an excuse goes to show the intrinsic levels of corruption in regards to this project.
As an employee of the public you OWE us filtered stacks - you cannot continue to line your pockets at the cost of the public's health.

Dear Ms McNally,

RE: Parramatta Leagues Club Hotel - SSD 17_8800 - Construction of a 17
storey hotel comprising 209 hotel rooms, one basement level for
services, ancillary uses including a pool, gym, cafe, bars and
function room, vehicular access from O'Connell Street, public domain
works and tree removal.

The National Trust of Australia (NSW) lodges a strong objection to the
State Significant Development Application for the construction of a 17
storey commercial hotel within Parramatta Park adjacent to the
Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Property Parramatta Park and
the National Heritage Listed Parramatta Female Factory and
Institutions Precinct.

The original gazettal of Parramatta Park on 6 August, 1858 set aside
an area of 246 acres (99.6 hectares), including the site of this
current development proposal. Parramatta Park today has been reduced
in area to 85 hectares, with 75% of this alienation having occurred in
the last fifty five years. The new stadium development is yet another
massive alienation of the diminishing parkland.

The construction of the new Parramatta Stadium has placed a huge,
dominating structure within Parramatta Park and it is now argued that
this would also justify a 17 storey commercial hotel within the Park.

If this were to proceed within such a significant park (World
Heritage, National Heritage and State Heritage listings) then it would
set a precedent for other sporting clubs to argue for their own
multi-storey commercial developments, most likely in important
parklands.

And this at a time when public parkland and open space are all the
more precious given the scale of multi-storey residential and
commercial development throughout Sydney.

While it is still argued that the new Stadium does not impact on the
National Trust's own Old Government House in Parramatta Park, it can
be clearly seen dominating the skyline from the front steps of the
building.

The proposed new tower will further impact on that important view and
for that reason, the further alienation of Parramatta's most important
parkland and the precedent that will be set for other important and
rare parkland in New South Wales, the Trust objects to this proposal.

Yours sincerely,

Graham Quint
Director, Conservation
