Cockburn CementWe didn't want it, that doesn't mean someone else should cop it...
The government is planning a huge Intermodal freight terminal 3 times the size of Kewdale. The preferred option has recently been released and is open for public comment.
As I blogged here, then Government Minister Fran Logan wanted to dump the Intermodal out of his electorate and in between my house and some of the states major hazardous industry.
The new Governments preferred option is just south of Cockburn Cement, right next to many residents and new residential areas. The impacts on these communities will be massive, the truck movement along Russell Road will increase to 7778 a day right through a residential suburb. Will Governments ever learn?
The thing here is; the Government resumed (instigated by a previous Liberal Govt) residents land for facilities like this (now known as Latitude 32), but it seems Landcorp is more interested in selling the land more suitable for this proposal to industry and making money.
We also know that Minister Simon O'Brien wants Fremantle Ports as a whole moved to Kwinana.
If this Intermodal has to happen, which it seems it does, then it should be located further south, near Rowley Road where the impacts will not be so great.
The closing period for submissions has been extended to Friday 27th February.
