36.    Of major concern is the close proximity between the proposed refuelling area on the
       site and the GSLCboundary. For example, it is lessthan:

               •    30 meters (estimated) from the outdoor toddler pool to the proposed refuelling
                    areas; and

               •    40 meters (estimated) from the HPEcentre to the proposed refuelling area.

          Potential health impacts from the site

37.   The applicant has not provided any data with respect to proposed potential air toxins
       from the site.


38.    Air pollutants will arise from the site from multiple sources, including:


         (a)       emissions generated by increased fossil fuel combustion by motor vehicles
                   using the service station;
         (b)       vapour expelled from a vehicle's petrol tank as the tank is filled;
        (c)        drips from the filling nozzle;
         (d)       leaks from hosesand gaskets;
         (e)       vapour expelled from underground storage tanks as they are refilled by road
                   tankers;
        (f)        vapour from the fuel vents; and
         (g)       potential liquid spillages.


39.    Further, potential dangers regarding the site include:




5 The DAon page 28 states; "The service station refuelling area is sufficiently distanced from the school
boundary which is greater than 25m".
