This attached submission is on the destruction of the Cooks River Clay Plain Forest - aka Cooks River Castlereagh Forrest of the Sydney Basin.
The M5 widening from King Georges Road towards the airport will destroy 1.4 hectares (78%) hectares of the best part of the 1.8 hectares of the critically endangered Cooks
River Clay Plain Forest at Kingsgrove, also known as the Cooks River Castlereagh Forest of the Sydney Basin (CRCIF).
The time available for the public to comment on the thousands of pages of WestConnex EIS, until 29 January 2016, over the Christmas holiday period is a dubiously short target set by the government for such a questionable project.
Sydney was once well known as the big bush town. As remnant forests disappear and developments 'bomb' our landscape Sydney which was once well known as the bush capital of NSW will be but just a barren landscape of concrete and pollution.
Thank you NSW government for not allowing the public to have their say.

Submssion: Opposing the WestConnex New M5 St Peters Interchange & M4 East Motorway proposal
I write to express my strong objection to the WestConnex M5 St Peters Interchange & M4 East Motorway proposal.
I object to the proposal as:
* Fails to provide a solution to our city's traffic congestion problems
* Proposed road option only shifts existing congestion problems to different neighbourhoods
* Encourages more cars instead of public transport
* Fails to compare the project to other proposed alternative transport options
* Air quality will reduce to health damaging levels that negatively impacts the wellbeing of the community
* The interchange will surround & destroy the peaceful haven found at our beloved Sydney Park
* The roads of Alexandria, Erskineville, Green Square, Ashmore , Mascot & Redfern are already heavily congested and cannot cope with an increases in traffic volume
* Destroys the character & viability of King St, Newtown
* Regeneration of native bushland & return of native bird species will be irreversibly damaged and threatened
* The lack of community consultation, poorly derived statistics and hurried determination to commence construction early clearly demonstrates short-sighted planning of the project.
* The current design lacks contemporary innovation, lacks awareness of global transport trends and lacks a connection with the natural environment.
Yours sincerely

ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT SUBMISSION
Western Surface Works, Beverly Grove Park.
I object to the overall project and believe that improved public transport is a more viable option , i.e. increased trains on the East Hills line, using both airport line and Tempe , Sydenham route. I am concerned about recent reports of projected users of the new tunnels due to road tolls and fail to see the viability of the project more so. However, if the project is to advance as per the EIS information , these are my submissions:
Construction Period
* Residents to be informed of instructed and enforced working hours.
* Temporary diverted share path to be located a significant distance from residential fence lines, allowing an open corridor between temporary noise barrier. This would enhance safety for residents and path users.
* Mature trees to be planted close to residential fence line forming a barrier from diverted share path.
* Constant communication with residents during construction period in relation to noise and dust issues.
* Temporary lighting of diverted share path not to affect adjoining residences.
* Liaising with Canterbury City Council to monitor and control parking of employees and contractors in residential streets.
EIS Design of Completed Western Surface Works
* Maintain integrated noise mound with tree planting , acknowledging that this could result in sacrificing some park space.
* Noise mound to exist instead of noise wall, if this is not feasible, and both are required- noise wall not transparent and covered by tree planting overlooking Canterbury Golf Course & Beverly Grove Park (drivers on a main freeway don't require a side view whilst driving).
* Trees that are planted closest to residential property lines to be of a mature variety.
Compensation
Due to exceeding noise levels during construction and upon completion of this project, I would like to know about options to request either compensation or a grant to insulate my 1949 fibro residence situated 3 Meters from the proposed construction zone. Similar to what was provided to houses beneath flight paths in previous years. Houses may not have to be acquisitioned in this area of the project, but there a number that are substantially inconvenienced and disrupted, I would expect that the NSW Government would be willing to compensate affected dwellings.
