ShUT flyer 04/07/10
ShUT is calling for urgent help from members and supporters. See below.
The fight intensifies
Your submissions to council have been a great help in the campaign against this tip. We are now taking the fight to a new level.
ShUT is now calling on all members and supporters to:
1) Write to the 3 State members listed below to communicate their opposition to the tip,
and
2) Join the Sydney rally on Wednesday 21 July.
Why?
The Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) have given General Terms of Approval for this development to proceed.
The Joint Regional Planning Panel (also appointed by State Government) will now make the final determination on whether the Tip gets approval or not.
It is now a State Government issue.
We need to make the relevant Ministers aware of our objections.
So please… Write/fax/email (we suggest you do all 3!) to:
Premier: Kristina Keneally
Level 39 Governor Macquarie Tower
1 Farrer Place, Sydney NSW 2000
Phone 9228 5239 Fax 9228 3934
Email: premier@nsw.gov.au
Minister for Planning: Tony Kelly
Level 34 Governor Macquarie Tower
1 Farrer Place, Sydney NSW 2000
Phone 9228 3999 Fax 9228 3988
Email: Sharon.Armstrong@lands.nsw.gov.au
Minister for the Environment: Frank Sartor
Level 35 Governor Macquarie Tower
1 Farrer Place, Sydney NSW 2000
Phone 9228 5811 Fax 9228 5499
Email: office@sartor.minister.nsw.gov.au
Send your original submission or consider including some of the following points:
· We believe that the supporting documentation from the applicant is flawed, and it is not a sustainable development.
· This development application is NOT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. It is for a privately run, privately managed facility which will only benefit the proponents. The Shoalhaven will have to put up with all the pitfalls (increased heavy vehicle traffic, noise, air, water pollution).
· To place a tip of this size in proximity to a major NSW tourist destination is incomprehensible. The tourist destination is at risk of becoming the trash destination.
· Six million litres of concentrated industrial waste leachate sitting in a dam, in the headwaters of Jervis Bay and St Georges Basin catchments cannot possibly be considered SAFE. BP thought their oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico was safe too! Is gambling the future of our Bay and Basin justified?
The ‘Precautionary Principle’ MUST apply.
· Only 4.5% of the waste planned to go into this tip will come from the Shoalhaven. The rest will be trucked in over long distances via the Princes Highway (11,500 additional truck movement per year) This proposal is completely contrary to the Principles of Ecologically Sustainable Development and the State Government’s plans to reduce carbon emissions.
A rally to State Parliament is being organised for Wednesday 21st July. Buses are being organised. Tickets $15, are available from Franca Neville at Aloha Caravan Park Ph: 4443 4211 Mobile 0400 888 434, from the Tomerong General Store and from Shoal Bus, Concorde Way, Bomaderry.
