I believe that insufficient attention has been paid to the use of an elevated covered conveyor to transport the cullet between the two sites. This would avoid the use of heavy trucks using Andrews Rd with their environmental and traffic effects.
Being elevated it would have minimal interference to ground level operations.
Being covered it should have no environmental impact.
A conveyor is virtually soundless and thus will not have any audible impact if the plant operates 24/7 as proposed.
As the cullet is stored in bins at either location in can be collected and delivered by means of gates and feeder conveyors.
Although a conveyor will have a higher capital cost than trucks, the running costs are considerably less and will not require the public to fund ongoing road maintenance due to the use of trucks on Andrews Rd.

The application appears to be flawed in as much as Penrith City Council have previously made provision to have the access road to126 Andrews Road, Penrith upgraded. That road which crosses Lot 3 DP747153 has not been addressed in the schedule of works indicating it is current and satisfactory for the development.
If the upgrade of the crossing is a continuing requirement of Council then the upgrade should be specified in the Schedule of Works.
