Properly made submission (object) Brett Kennedy MCU13/0171

Factory would only operate on weekdays. The proposal however asks for six days of
operation (Mon-Sat).I ask that if the proposal is successful that operational times be limited
to hours as 9am-Spm, weekdays only. "Normal working" hours (7am -Spm)as applied for do

not apply to all of the rural settlement properties that overwhelmingly neighbour the

proposed new factory. The site is zoned as rural. Nearly all properties on Lake Macdonald
Drive and the roads that branch from it are zoned as rural or rural settlement. "Normal

business hours" do not apply in the area that the proposed new factory would sit if plans

were   accepted. Lake Macdonald is peopled by residents who enjoy space and peace and
quiet. As my property is a rural residential one I ask that my right to a quiet environment be
respected. No noise pollution from the factory/commercial industry/tourist attraction is
acceptable to me at any time but this is especially so in my time away from work. Weekends
are for   recuperating. As I have already said, I am a keen gardener. I spend a lot of time in my
yard. I do not wish to listen to operational noises from the property across the road at any
time let alone in my time away from work, nor should I ever have to.


          This decision is for a lifetime, my lifetime. Imagine that you lived on a rural

residential property for over eleven years and planned to live there for the rest of your life.

How would you feel if a factory moved in across the road from your home on a rurally zoned

property? How would you feel if the first factory was only the tip of the iceberg and that
other industries are likely to follow? Forklifts, trucks, tourists, buses, chatter, machinery

and the like have no place in this rural setting and even more especially so, on a weekend

(Saturday and Sunday). How would you feel floodwaters threatened your house and
property and possibly your life? The floodwaters that come at night are the worst. I have
lost count of the times that I have stacked items valuable to me in the roof and grabbed the

pliers, just in case I have to cut the barbed wires on the fence line, throw my pets in the car
and drive into my neighbours paddock to escape the flood waters.


          I am not someone who enjoys the taste of Wimmers soft drinks and has just added

their name and address and signature to a mass produced letter of support when they have

been asked to do so as they enter the Cooroy RSL or to sign the form as they leave the

Pamona IGA. I am well aware of the negative effects this development would possibly cause.


          I have been approached on five separate occasions and been asked to sign the mass

produced submission of support form. Some of the points listed as positives on the mass
produced form need addressing.

          Point 2 states


          ’The traffic report shows that traffic flow from the proposal will be far lees (less?)

than the traffic flow from the original brickworks’. Could be countered with the statements;
