The Greens have added their voice to concerns about a proposed major
new tip at Tomerong. Sylvia Hale, Greens MP and spokesperson for
Planning, has put questions about the tip to the Ministers for Planning
and the Environment.
“Locating an enormous tip in the Shoalhaven area at Tomerong simply
doesn’t make sense,” said Ms Hale.
“Using an old quarry site that has been the subject of blasting, and
fracturing of the rocks over many years must surely call into question
whether a proposed dam to control leachate could operate safely.
“Added to that, there are concerns about the effect of a tip on local
bushland and fauna and the impact of a massive increase in heavy truck
movements along the Princes Highway.
"The development of a major tip in the catchment of Jervis Bay is
hardly likely to improve the image of the South Coast.
“One of the region's greatest attractions is its clean, green image,
its temperate rainforests, tall trees, clean rivers and streams, and
pristine white sandy beaches. That asset must be protected both for its
own natural values and for the economic benefit and quality of life it
brings to residents of the Shoalhaven.
