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 contact link to the left of this page.
