30 Quarry Road, Teralba NSW 2284

My concerns are around ruining the quiet nature of Quarry Rd. Quarry Rd is a quiet street with a lot of young children who play in front lawns. Adding 14 additional lots will increase traffic 40-50%, subsequently increasing risk of traffic incidents.
Additionally, the land behind block 30 is beautiful bush land providing habit to native animals and critically, trees to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Surely, given the climate crisis, approving an application that removes such a large number of trees for no tangible positive benefit, goes against any initiative to reduce CO2 levels.

The construction of 14 houses in the valley below Rodgers St will significantly affect the wildlife corridor. I also note that there is a water course which runs down the valley and the easement which has been allowed seems very inadequate.

I also note that a large area of land on the other side of Rodgers St, across to Rhonda Road has been sold and may also be developed. This means that there will be a significant loss of tree cover in this area.

I understand that Teralba is an area where medium density is being encouraged and I am not against it in principle, however, I would like the council to consider very carefully whether this development is in accord with its environmental guidelines.
