                           Macdonald Road,there are large qualities of clay being deposited on the

           ...’
                       road surface. This material is either being turned into dust pollution by
,,_’   .               vehicle movements or is being washed into our waterways as sediment.
                       This will be a significantly larger problem for the proposed movement of
                           116 trucks a day along this stretch of Lake Macdonald Drive and will
                           result in damage to the environment

                                      The area is rural residential and residential. The proposed
                     operation will resu~t in over 10 trucks per hour passing the residential
                     areas of east Cooroy including the new estates off Lake Macdonald Drive,

                     existing residential areas, a child care centre and the primary school.
                  6. Traffic Congestion and Safety at the Corner of Lake Macdonald Drive and
                     Elm Street the impact of the proposed truck movements will not only be

                     limited to Lake Macdonald Drive but will also impact residents within
                     Cooroy. The trucks will need to negotiate the intersection opposite the
                     primary school; in a school zone,where there are significant existing
                     traffic congestion and safety issues. It appears that the truck and trailers
                     currently being used f9r a similar activity cannot negotiate this
                     intersection without passing onto the wrong side of the road. The
                     proposed increase in truck movements poses a significant risk to safety at
                           this intersection.

                  7.       Tra~c Congestion and Safety at the I ntersection of Elm and Myall Street   -




                           the proposed truck movements would need to pass over the existing
                           railway bridge and turn at the intersection of Elm Street and Myall Street
                           in order to access the Bruce Highway. This area is substantially restricted
                           and currently causes significant congestion issues twice a day. The
                           significant increase in large vehicles using the route will be potentially
                                             .




                           dangerous.

             We trust that you will consider our views and prevent the potentially dangerous
             and damaging proposal progressing any further.
