Summary of Fact sabout the Unwanted Shoalhaven Mega Tip
• The DA is for a Non- Putrescible Waste Facility at
the quarry on the end of Gumden Lane.
• Initially to receive 50,000 tonnes growing to 100,000
tonnes p/a in 20 to 30 years time
• Material includes residual building waste that
cannot be recycled including lead based paint,
treated timber, containers previously containing
dangerous goods, fibreglass, plastics, building cavity
dust, gross pollutants collected from stormwater
treatment devices. The classification is - General
solid waste (non-putrescible). For a full list see www.
environment.nsw.gov.au/waste/envguidlns/index.htm
• This will result in 11,000 trucks or over 20,000 truck
movements entering and leaving the highway at the
Island Point Rd Bypass intersection, traveling along
the bypass and into Gumden Lane. The trucks will be
10 and 20 tonne and one every 12 minutes. There is
no safe egress for pedestrians or bike riders along this
route.
• The waste will come from Bega in the south, all of
the Illawarra, Wingecarribee and possibly Sydney.
• The site has Tomerong Creek running through it and
this leads directly into St Georges Basin. It is also in
the catchment of Jervis Bay.
• This is an industrial activity in a rural zone that will
generate ground, water, air and noise pollution.
• The mega tip will diminish the quality of life, damage
local roads and decrease the value of land and
property in the whole Bay and Basin area.
