1. There are already two other petrol stations in close proximity. Is this application linked to one of those sites?
   If this is an additional petrol station I think it is unnecessary.

2. I believe that any development in the Moorebank area should provide a benefit to the residents,. I see no benefit adding another petrol station in this area. 100 meters from the proposed new station is a Caltex petrol station. Another 100 meters from the Caltex is an independent petrol station on Nuwarra road. Further on Newbridge Road towards Governor Macquarie is another Caltex Petrol station. On Stockton avenue there is a Woolworths petrol station. I can not see any benefit to adding a further petrol Station.
   Also having a petrol station next to a fresh food outlet is hygienically unsavory.

3. Are you for real. This application must be a joke .The Liverpool City Council must be kidding themselves if they think this application is for any benefit to the community .Have a look in the area .There are 4 within a 1km radius and 6 within 1.5km radius. We do not need another Service Station in Moorebank . They need to go and have a really good look at themselves . THIS DOESN'T PASS THE PUB TEST.

4. We definitely do not need another service station, we already have (12) within a radius of 1.5 kilometres of Moorebank Shopping Village. May I add if you travel over Liverpool Bridge petrol is easily obtained up to 49 cents cheaper than Moorebank.
   Here’s the current list.
   1. Caltex Moorebank - Newbridge Road
   2. BP - 8 Heathcote Rd
   3. Caltex Woolworths - cnr Dredge & Stockton Ave
   4. Coles - Heathcote Rd
   5. 7- Eleven Heathcote Rd
   6. Energy Fuels - Stockton Ave
   7. Ampol - 2 Bridges rd
   8. Shell - Wattle Grove
   9. Shell Coles Express - Wattle Grove
   10. Caltex Nuwarra Rd
   11. BP Nuwarra Rd
   12. Woolworths Newbridge Rd, just past GMDrive.

5. Can I suggest that if anyone wants to object to this development, their objections are based on planning merit, not a count of how many servos are in the area.

   If I was an objector - the lowest hanging fruit would be and objection written to RMS about concerns to the visual sightlines of the new driveway and the risk of vehicle collision based on vehicles slowing down on approach / exit....... I'm sure we have all caused a potential rear ender when slamming our breaks on to enter the fruit market in this location.

   If the Caltex site was being assessed today it would be unlikely they would have approval for the entry so close to the Nuwarra Rd intersection via Newbridge Rd so close to the lights.

   The addition of fast food increases the frequency (the risk of rear end collisions) of vehicle movements in/out of the site and the applicant may need to remove this use to comply with RMS assessment criteria.

   experience: I've had applications refused by RMS for this reason on similar types of developments on Main Roads.

   best of luck.

6. I do not object to this at all. I absolutely love fast food, and anything that runs on petrol.

7. Further to my previous comment, a study completed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of petrol stations close to residential area, found that even with gas recovery devices petrol stations can still pose significant risk especially to children.
   This comes in the form of hydrocarbon fumes, which contain harmful chemicals like benzene. Considering all the grouping of petrol stations in such a small area of Moorebank dangerous limits may already be present.
   Before another petrol station can be considered in this area a measure of current hydrocarbons levels must be conducted and measured, and a measure of the potential increase of having another petrol station in close proximity to residential spewing further hydrocarbons.
   Also a Swiss study found quote:
   "We found evidence of an increased risk of childhood cancer (all diagnosis combined) among children living in close vicinity of petrol stations".
   These risks are real and MUST be taken into account before approving any petrol station in close proximity to residential housing.
   All the above quoted studies and more are available via the internet.,

8. Anthony, you seem like you have been watching the ABC,and other various doomsday mainstream media fake news outlets.
   relax, climate change is a hoax, petrol and mineral oils make our lives better,without oil, you would not be using the computer or phone you used to type that message. everything you use in daily life comes from oil, even green energy solar and wind all rely on mineral oils to function.
   please look further than mainstream media and its agenda.

   remember, sea levels have not risen, global warming and climate change are as big a scam as the china flu.

9. Anthony, i have lived on the same street as a petrol station my whole life. nobody on my street has died from the petrol station being there. the lady directly across the road from it, lived to be 92 and she was also a pack a day smoker.
   please stop paying attention to alarmist agenda driven mainstream media and look at real facts.
   All of the predictions have not come true.
   Examples.
   global freezing
   global warming
   peak oil
   hole in the ozone layer
   acid rain
   climate change
   rising sea levels....i could go on all day. ive lived through all of them, all lies.

   please reevaluate your stance before giving in to globalist lies and left wing media activists.

10. Dave Hudson. Given your extensive use of the phrase "mainstream media", I'd like to suggest we get the council ranger and vet to attend your premises to ensure you can't reproduce.

11. Hi there,
    I reside along Lucas Ave at the back of food lovers market. my concerns are very seriously against this whole new development with the following will negativity impact all the residents along the humble and quiet street we current have.

    my following concerns are:

    Noise –
    The operating hours of 24/7 will affect all of the residents of Lucas Ave. The noise pollution will include the following:

    • Trucks & semi trailers – this includes the activity of filling petrol, reversing noises, rubbish removal for industrial size bins
    • Drive Thru restaurant: the ordering food machine is located near the fence of the residents, cars beeping and stopping
    • The Gas refill & air pump machine: is basically sitting on the fence line
    • The general noise for cars that are: beeping, stopping with loud brakes, doors & boots opening and shutting, mufflers of cars
    • There is TV unit being installed above all gas station pumps
    • General Foot traffic cause from the 3 business – music played in the all 3 business premises
    • The loading zones are being located parallel to the fence line of the affect residents
    • The allocated times for all industrial bins to be tipped currently between the hours of 2am – 4am in the morning during weekdays.
    • This is will increase as there is more business and traffic being proposed.

    Smells, Fumes & Odor:
    • Petrol fumes operating 24/7
    • The odor and fumes from the industrial waste bins that includes all the food scraps from the 2 proposed restaurant
    • The oil and cooking fumes that the restaurants will make. (IE: KFC, MacDonald’s, Oporto’s ) – that is undeniable going to be the case
    • The pollution and fumes of cars and trucks make out of the mufflers

    Bins & wastes:
    There is a current problematic issue with the current bins & wastes location up upon the fence of the residences. The industrial size bins are usually left OPEN with that the general fumes and odors that come with it lingers and blows in the direction of the wind. On a hot summer and windy day the order produce from the bins do carry to the other side of the Lucas Avenue street road where it is very noticeable.
    • It’s health and safety to all residences living on Lucas Ave.
    • The attraction for pests, mice, rats, cats is a current issue, with this development will increasingly impact the surrounding residences further
    • The littering of rubbish & food from the development WILL OCCUR from all the tossers
    • Bin Collection of all industrial bins at the times between 2AM – 4AM in the morning during weekdays. You can definitely hear it this happening even will all doors and windows closed at night.

    Traffic generation –
    • The trading hours are proposed to be set for 24/7.
    • The traffic from the drive thru
    • The foot traffic from restaurant

    These are just a LIGHT version what i have concerns for that WILL affect all the residents. These problems being dot pointed... are just the real current problem situation i generally don't see how this development will improve the general health & safety concerns of the minority of the residents in Moorebank.
