The proposals
will affect the following areas:-
-
Westernport Bay -
Environmental depletive and possible destructive nature of port
enhancement. Noise and air pollution.
-
Pearcedale - Rail
and road development, land acquisitions/devaluations, noise and air
pollution.
-
Cranbourne
South/East - Transport road/rail development, noise and air pollution.
-
Lyndhurst,
Lynbrook - Inland port proposals, land acquisitions, road/rail
development, noise and air pollution. Also proximity to schools and
housing estates, property values may destabilize, increases in traffic and
public safety concerns.
-
Clyde, Officer &
Pakenham - Property acquisitions and devaluations, rail/road development,
heritage property threats, wildlife safety issues, noise and air
pollution.
-
Stony Point,
Frankston, Dandenong, Suburbs along the Bayside and Dandenong rail
corridors - Increased rail and road traffic, increased risks to public
safety, noise and air pollution increases, property value instability,
freight trains proposed in "Off Peak" times (sleep deprivation?).
There are obvious
concerns of the effects on the ecology, flora and fauna, and marine life
these proposals may have. Lifestyles and holiday destinations are threatened
as well as the opening of an infrastructure doorway to nuclear energy in
this state. When will the devastation of our great spaces end? Be sure to be
part of a growing trend to preserve our live styles and our environment for
ever. Keep Australia wonderful and get active in protecting Westernport from
development.
If you feel you are
near any of these areas, the projects proposed in Westernport WILL
EFFECT YOU! If you know of any other areas affected by the Port of
Hastings Corporation plans, please advise by email or phone using the

Melbournes'
entire south and south east will be affected!
