It is TOO DANGEROUS to store 400,000 litres of marine fuel next to a high density residential area. TRAFIC CONGESTION caused by large heavy tanker trucks delivering the marine fuel via inner-city roads. NEW MASTER PLAN FIRST: widespread community opposition to the Cement Terminal proposal shows the public want an up-to-date Master Plan and strategy for the future use of the White Bay and adjoining public land. LOST OPPORTUNITES: (1) This proposal would set a precedent for other "dirty" heavy industries, resticting better options for decades. The cumulative effect is totally unacceptable for this prime Sydney Harbour location. (2) Sydney is the primary entry point for tourists into Australia - a high income earner for the NSW economy. White Bay location is close to the Harbour Bridge and other major tourist attractions. A large-scale Marine Fuel Depot is highly inappropriate in this location. IN SUMMARY I consider the White Bay marine fuel facility proposal to be totally inappropriate for a residential area and a wasted opportunity for the use of inner Sydney harbour foreshore land. Yours sincerely,
