1. I have recently purchased a block of land covering 62 hectares at Tylers road Strathblane (Vol 124000 Fol 1 & 2). The property is in a secluded area, off the main roads and has excellent views of Adamsons Peak and Port Esperance. As a result, I was intending to build a residence and tourist accommodation (subject to Council approval).

   I believe that there is a real need for tourist accommodation which is close to Dover amenities but still in a rural are which is quiet and feels remote. (ie. Holiday retreat.).

   Unfortunately, the proposed extension of the Tylers Quarry will result in considerable industrial noise and greatly increased traffic on Tylers Road (which is unmade and only gravel). This will have an adverse affect on my plans for a residence and any tourist accommodation and likely result in me selling the land and seeking another outside the Huon Valley.

   Whilst, there is some road noise from Huon Highway, this is not evident in lower areas of the property and close to the rivulet.

   I understand that there may be an need for some industrial operations but the Dover area is such a beautiful and unique environment for tourism in the Valley, which seems to be unappreciated or recognised.

   For the reasons mentioned above, I firmly object to the extension of the Tylers Quarry operations.

   However, if it absolutely must proceed, the opening hours need to be reasonable. This is not a major operation and it does not require ridiculous extended operating hours - especially after 5.00pm and on weekends. It needs as a minimum, to be restricted to Mon to Friday 9.00am to 4.00pm plus not operating on public holidays.

   If we are going to encourage any tourism businesses/developments in the Dover area there need to be an understanding that industrial development needs to be tightly regulated so that such a valuable tourism asset is protected and encouraged.
