We do not want to see the rapid escalation of diseases which are preventable if government imposes proper planning restrictions and regulates polluting industries such as the cruise ships. Balmain was freed of the extremely negative impacts arising from shipping terminals and heavy industry by the 1980s when these incompatible land uses ceased. Many more residents were then housed there as the sites became available for redevelopment and the residential amenity increased,
It is a sad and concerning circumstance that sees our governments again exposing the people of Leichhardt local government area and of Sydney to unacceptable levels of air pollution by failing to give effect to strong land use planning and regulatory controls.
If cruise ships want to enter Sydney Harbour and White Bay so that their passengers can enjoy the Harbour and the City, then now, when demand to visit Sydney is high, is the time to establish the highest standards to protect health and wellbeing from serious air pollution. Do not wait until the statistics for disease increase to dangerous levels.
