I wish to lodge my objection to AGL's proposed extension of time for the commencement of work on the proposed gas fired power plant project at Dalton (DPP), NSW. AGL have not provided sufficient cause for extension.

The community distrusts them. This has been acknowledged by the Department of Planning who noted AGL's appalling community consultation.

AGL have not supplied adequate time for an appropriate response.

AGL will rely on an Environmental Assessment that is 7 years old and does not include recent discoveries including the population of endangered Southern Pygmy Perch in Oolong Creek less than a few kilometres from the proposed construction.

This is a new proposal and needs a new assessment. AGL received its original approval under legislation repealed in 2011 after a corruption scandal that brought down the then NSW government. By repealing this legislation, the NSW Government acknowledged corrupt and unfair practices, such as undisclosed political donations made during the assessment of the original Dalton proposal and for which AGL have been convicted and fined. Hence it may be argued that the original assessment and approval were made under a defective head of authority which does not provide a legitimate basis for the project.

The rate of development of battery and alternative generating technologies is such that in two years' time a gas-fired generator may well be obsolete and, if built, a stranded asset.

AGL would appear to be pursuing a flawed and obsolescent if not obsolete business model. The whole-of-life cost of this project to the government and citizens of NSW may be an impediment to growth in this state. This proposed development is at odds with the electricity market now and in the future.

Finally the construction of this power plant will close down the business of Vince & Janet Heffernan at "Moorlands" Dalton who supply me and my family lamb. I object to this loss and this destruction of their business.

I purchased land on Loop Road in Dalton in February last year not knowing that there was to be a Gas Power Plant to be built to the north of my property with the vents will be clearly visible. And also with the understanding that Loop Road will be shared with a number of trucks that will be driving up there daily. With this property i plan to build a Thoroughbred training and spelling property. I strongly object to this project not only on behalf of myself and my partner but on all of Dalton. This is a nice peaceful town which is why i decided to buy land and build. We dont want to see a power plant go in and disturb it.

I object to the application to extend AGL's proposed time for the commencement of work on the proposed gas fired power plant project at Dalton (DPP), NSW. AGL has not provided sufficient cause for extension. AGL's community consultation has been appalling and they have not provided adequate time for an appropriate response.

The Environment Assessment AGL is relying on is 7 years old and does not include recent discoveries, including the population of endangered Southern Pygmy Perch in Oolong Creek. At the very least, a new assessment is required.

Furthermore, the construction of this power plant will negatively affect the business of Vince & Janet Heffernan at 'Moorlands' Dalton, who have supplied me and my family with lamb for years. I object to this impact on their business.

I wish to lodge my objection to AGL's proposed extension of time for the commencement of work on the proposed gas fired power plant project at Dalton (DPP), NSW.

I am extremely concerned about the impact this plant may have on the immediate region, primary producers in the area, and on towns and cities further afield, including Canberra.

I am also concerned at the short timeframe for community consultation.

Sincerely
