I am furious that the council would accept a proposal for a Petrol Station to be basically on the grounds of Good Shepherd Lutheran College in Noosaville.

Scientific studies have proven that living near a petrol station can be a health hazard. The air in the immediate vicinity of garages is often polluted with airborne particles from evaporated fuel and therefore harmful to local residents. This study was done in the University of Murcia in Spain and they studied the effects of contamination at petrol stations. They found that dangerous airborne pollutants from garages could be as far away as 100m!

Therefore the minimum distance of 50m should be maintained between petrol stations and housing and 100 metres for vulnerable facilities such as hospitals, health care centres, SCHOOLS and old peoples homes.

Another study, published in the Journal of Environmental Management, shows air at the petrol stations and in their immediate surroundings is especially affected by emissions stemming from evaporated vehicle fuels. This includes unburnt fuel from fuel loading and unloading operations, refuelling and liquid spillages.

It boggles the mind that a council would think that a petrol station should be situated on top of a school with children as young 3 years old being exposed to these emissions.

I am vehemently opposed to this planning development and I will continue to boycott this case until this planning is removed.

Kind Regards,
