Lobby Information
PLEASE WRITE NOW!
This page shows contact details of mostly public representatives who may have some influence in the decision making process for DA-09/2077.
Below are names and contact details of public representatives and their areas of responsibility, so you can contact the person directly representing you. If you require any help or inspiration with the content of your communication, you may like to reference our 'ShUT Submission' and a sample letter header to get you and other concerned residents started. If enough letters of objection are received by the SCC and further, then it may be rejected as "Not in the Public Interest"
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.
