Submission re MCU12/0216

Dear Mr Brennan,

I wish to put forward my comments for you to consider in the assessment of the above
Development Application for a Material Change of Use at 271 Lake Macdonald Drive.

1. The Notice of Commencement is attached to the fence at Gate 4 of the brickworks
   site on Lake Macdonald Drive.
   It is well back from the road next to other signs on the fence and has nothing to dis-
   tinguish it as being a new sign that would be of interest to anyone other than people
   who worked at the site.
   I believe notices alerting the public to a new or changed development must be
   prominently displayed and this sign is not.
   By the time the public were aware that there was an MCU lodged at Council for an
   increase in extraction of clay from the clay pit on Kennedy Drive to be transported
   to the clay pits on Lake Macdonald Drive the ’comment period’ was already half
   over not allowing time for proper research into the impacts on locals.
   Further, locals who would be most impacted by the change in use (those on Hoy
   Rd, Lake Ridge Court and Racehorse Lane) would have no reason to ever drive by
   the brickworks and so would never have the opportunity to see the sign even if it
   were well displayed.
2. In the Development Application Part 2 of 2 ‘Traffic Assessment’ by TTM Consulting
   (Sunshine Coast) Pty Ltd. It states:
   2.2 Haulage Profile
    ‘TTM have been advised that the proposed rehabilitation of Neales Quarry and
    White Pit Quarry will involve the extraction of up to 900,000 tonnes (0.90Mt) over
    a 2 year period. It is understood that the haulage vehicle will be a truck and dog
    with a payload of 30 tonnes. Over this period it is anticipated that up to 30,000
    heavy vehicles will enter and exit the subject site with an anticipated maximum of
    50 heavy vehicles per day’.
  It states in the Information Request Response dated April 2, 2013
    ‘The Traffic Impact Assessment Report prepared by TTM Consulting Pty Ltd,
    included as Attachment 7 of the Planning Assessment Report submitted to Coun-
    cil, identifies that a total of 60,000 vehicle movements over the life of the project
    (i.e. 2 years) for the proposed operations will be required to enter and exit the
    Site in order to haul the extracted material to the receiving sites (i.e. Neales
