I oppose this development. New intermodal terminal should be moved further away from residential land --> Badgery's Creek is ideal. Little to no residential impact, plus there is room for expansion if required in the future.

We are against this proposal progressing. As residents in nearby Wattle Grove, we believe that not enough consideration has been given to the noise, increase of traffic and additional pollution that will be generated by this facility. We are not against the proposal in totality, but join with the Liverpool Council in suggesting that the facility should be located in an appropriate area, such as Badgerys Creek which will house the new airport and have the facilities and infrastructure to handle it.

I wish to formally object to the proposed development of the Intermodal Facility at Moorebank as I believe it will significantly impact on the already congested M5 and contribute significant amounts of additional traffic into the streets surrounding Casula and Wattle Grove. I am also concerned at the additional amounts of pollution that could potentially be discharged into the Georges River, as well as additional air pollution in surrounding suburbs.

The Moorebank site should not be considered due to the noise, environmental and health impact on nearby residents. Liverpool councils suggestion of Badgerys Creek would be better suited as its rural and will have the convenience of access to the new airport.

My husband and I live at Chipping Norton so we will not be as badly affected by this proposal as those residents of Wattle Grove, Holsworthy, Hammondville, Moorebank and Casula are but we will most certainly be affected by the increased traffic on our already clogged roads.
I travel along Moorebank Avenue at all different times of the day and I can only imagine how bad that road will become with all the extra heavy vehicles that will be using it.
Newbridge Road is already a nightmare at peak times and no doubt, many more trucks will use it to get to the proposed terminal.
The M5 is already full of B doubles and semis - we only have to look at recent accidents on the M5 involving such vehicles and to add more is only asking for trouble. The government is also proposing to allow B triples to come to the outskirts of Sydney - I guess that will also be our area! Why us? Why not somewhere else where there will be little or no impact on residents? I don't feel that ANY of you care what happens to us. Is that because we don't live in a more exclusive part of the Sydney basin? The air quality study does not include diesel particulate matter of any kind and no formaldeydes either even though the diesel emissions have now been listed by WHO as cancer causing agents. What makes it even worse is that all those engines will be under duress when either accelerating or slowing down when the most poisonous amount of exhaust is emitted, I feel this is a very contentious issue that has not been properly investigated.
If there are identifiable traffic problems why are they not being 'fixed' before the development goes ahead?
The rail line/s across the Georges River will definitely impact on the quality of the river surrounds and will also impact on Liverpool's Casula Powerhouse Museum and therefore ruin a lot of events that are held there.
As already stated we already reside in an area that has high air pollution and it is a well known fact that the Campbelltown/Liverpool area sits in a 'pollution catchment basin' so any further pollution be it from diesel emissions, dust, trains is unjustifiable - these are people we are talking about who will have increased health issues if this proposal goes ahead. A report submitted by Allan Corben at one of the earliest meetings clearly showed the impact of an intermodal development in the United States had on the local community and NONE of it was good. Of course, that was all dismissed by SIMTA. I also wonder about trailer parking as that is already a problem in the Casula area as it is around Port Botany - the prime movers unload their trailers it seems in any old place where there is a free spot.
Now to noise pollution. We all know how frustrating it is to have construction noise close by and to have this construction going on for a number of years will be too much for some to bear. Added to that, once the construction is completed and the terminal is in operation, the associated noise WILL carry as we are all well aware of how far sound travels at night and this will go on 24/7.
Many trucks also do not comply with laws not to use their compression brakes in built up areas and there are bound to be many that will continue to abuse this law and that sound most certainly does carry - day and night.
Until we get 'silent' trains then they will always impact with their associated noise.
Liverpool Council is trying to promote the area for more business ventures but with this proposed intermodal terminal any prospective residents who may look to move into the area will most certainly be put off by the added traffic/truck congestion on the local roads. Current residents in the area affected by this proposal will almost certainly be affected by their property being devalued.
I find it totally inconceivable that such a project would even be considered in an area with a relatively new suburb in such close proximity, let alone the schools and pre-schools in the area.

This community of residents are vehemently opposed to the noise, traffic and especially air pollution that the Intermodal will bring. If this was the intention then you should not have allowed it to become a residential area. We want to raise our children in a safe and clean area. Please put it somewhere else! You are not welcome in our backyard.

As a resident of Wattle Grove, I find it difficult to believe that both our State and Federal Governments are in denial of the massive traffic congestion problems that will be caused by the container transport hubs. The health issue is another serious concern. There are schools, pre schools and family homes within 500 mts of the proposed project. All we can ask is that common sense prevail and that in this instance, the health of children and families be put ahead of big businesses, which after all don't have hearts.

As a Moorebank resident, I object to the building of the Intermodal near residential schools and housing estates. The Increased noise and atmospheric pollution will be detrimental to both the environment and personal health.
The intermodal would be better placed near an industrial park similar to that at Eastern Creek or placed close to the new airport at Badgery's creek.

Health is Wealth as we all know but unfortunately this project puts Wealth before Health.
If this project goes ahead, its going to put lots of pressure on the hospitals,traffic,environment etc. in the Liverpool region.
So, please re-consider and re-locate while there is still time..

Thanks and Regards
