CONSERVATIONISTS
SAY "NO"
Ms Adele Cowie, Development Assessment Officer, Leichhardt Council, 7-15 Wetherill Street, LEICHHARDT, NSW 2040
Dear Ms Cowie,
Re: D/2001/376 - Proposed new access for Leichhardt Bus Depot onto Balmain Road
Nature Conservation Council opposes the above proposal for a new accessway for the Leichhardt Bus Depot.
Instead, NCC calls for the re-siting of the depot.
Whilst Nature Conservation Council supports State Transit's operations, the location of the Bus Depot in a densely settled residential area is completely inappropriate.
The Bus Depot has a major impact on local air pollution, noise, visual impact and general residential amenity. Whilst it is proposed that the current diesel buses be replaced by less polluting gas powered buses, this will reduce only one aspect of the impact of the depot.
We wholeheartedly support objections raised by local residents, as per the enclosed attachment.
Yours sincerely,
Christine Laurence
Transport project officer, Nature Conservation Council of NSW
