36.    Of major concern is the close proximity between the proposed refuelling area on the
       site and the GSLC boundary. For example, it is less than:

                  30 meters (estimated) from the outdoor toddler pool to the proposed refuelling
                   area5; and

                  40 meters (estimated) from the HPE centre 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 hoses and 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:
