My submission, That the proposed Viola Waste station which is not fully closed will result in unacceptable levels of odours smell combined with winds effect nearby businesses, residents as well as local Matraville Town centre.

It will result in more Noise such as Beeps, Reverse alarms and other, more truck large and small traffic movements in the area carrying smells throughout our area and contribute to more traffic/Congestion in our local area.


It is my view and hope it gets taken into account that the Viola proposed waste station not be built at Beauchamp road site and is not in the public interest at that location for the above reasons.

My submission, There is a rising level of community concern about the proposed Veolia Waste Transfer Facility (WTF) at Banksmeadow to operate 24/7. A concern is that even if the facility is enclosed it is likely that high and unacceptable levels of odours will be released at all times due to the putrescibles as well as non putrescibles wastes to be processed at this facility. The spread of odours will affect the neighbouring businesses, residents, schools as well as local Matraville Town centre. Additionally any trace of odour or waste will attract vermin, Waste Transfer Stations around the world are recognised as sources of other disease vectors such as flies, insects and birds.

The WTF would result in unacceptable health impacts to residents in surrounding streets because of the level of exposure to putrescible waste.

The WTF will add to noise pollution impacts in the region. As it is the community is already experiencing and battling noise emission issues with the 24/7 operations at Port Botany which is expected to increase with the proposed expansion of the port into the future. Noises currently experienced include but are not limited to Beeps, Reverse alarms, Goods train movement and toots.

The WTF will bring in over 840 truck movements per day and this will add to trafficcongestion which is already increasing because of growth in Port Botany traffic and potentialresidential developments proposed for this region under the Government's UAP policy. When this development was first negotiated between SSROC and Veolia the cap at Port Botany was 3.2 million TEU. The PORTS ASSETS (AUTHORISED TRANSACTIONS) BILL 2012 which was enacted in 2013 has since made it illegal to impose a cap at Port Botany and predicted volumes may be as high as 15 million TEU.

The majority of trucks will be traveling east to Banksmeadow where the waste will be transferred onto trains to be hauled west. It would be better to site the Waste TransferFacility (WTF) further west on the goods line as this would reduce traffic impacts and CO2 emissions.

Like mny others who have passed on information and shared their views Myself Carlos Da Rocha after carefully thinking about this waste Transfer facility that for the above reasons, the proposed Veolia Waste Transfer Facility not be built at Banksmeadow because it is not in the public interest. carlos Da Rocha, Matraville Resident 2036, 70/22-24 Wassell Street Matraville.

I would like to object to the above development based on the following:
1. The residents of Matraville have been exposed to various noise, vibration and air pollution from Port and industrial activity and this development further impacts upon the residents.
2. The nearest residential area (existing use rights) is 14, 18, 20, 22 & 24 Perry St Matraville NOT Hillsdale as INCORRECTLY reported in the EIS.
3. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is going to greatly impact both traffic, air quality, noise and vibration to local residents and businesses.
4. Why was no noise/air quality monitoring done in Matraville?
5. Rail vibration (through out the night) can be felt as far at Paterson Street in Matraville-where is the information on this?
6. Odours from the site-where will they blow to? Are residents not going to be able to open their own windows?
7. Waste will attract vermin and pests to the site and surrounding areas
8. Beauchamp Rd and Perry St intersection is currently at capacity in peak times with traffic movement (ever waited at the set of lights in peak hour?) the 450 extra truck movements will have a severe impact on the area

we do not want our children are not healthy because of the smell of the waste.

I object as I live on Wentworth ave Mascot and the amount of trucks travelling along Wentworth ave is far too much.

The noise, air and visual( garbage trucks) pollution is terrible for our health let alone the value of our property. The black soot that comes from the exhaust of these trucks covers our homes and this is what we breath!

It's getting harder to get a good nights sleep and the more trucks we have the harder it gets.

I suggest alternate routes are made so they do not need to drive along residential streets and make residents lives a misery.
