    :    The dust would prevent laundry to be hung outside, which would add to
         electricity costs of using a dryer.


    •   Dust settling in our guttering and entering our water tank, affecting the water
        quality.


    •   The effect the removal of the existing trees and greenery will impact on the
        birdlife, of which there are many and varied, some that we have not seen
        elsewhere, such as the scarlet honeyeater and the tawny grass bird.


Post construction,       we have concerns regarding the following:


    •    Reduced quality of life - we chose this location for its lifestyle, environment,
         bird life, and peacefulness.


    •    Our loss of privacy.


    •   The impact on the valuation of our property.


    •   Post construction there would be more traffic noise from vehicles entering and
        exiting the proposed commercial premises, including cars completing direction
        changes around the roundabout          and echo noise from the car park.


•        There are already many near misses and accidents at this intersection /
        roundabout.    We would fully expect this would increase with the addition of an
        entry and exit so close to the roundabout, and of course, having this entry/exit
        in Val Crescent is not an option whatsoever.


•       Increased traffic in Val Crescent due to drivers missing the entry into the
        premises and not realizing there is no entry via Val Crescent and it is a no
        through road.


•       The impact night/security    lighting would have on our privacy/wellbeing.
