“I’m concerned on the environmental impact this will have, not to mention the health risks it poses to everyone in the area.”
“This is what I think is priority number 1. The Health and Wellbeing of Our Youth and the Next Generation. The student population in the affected area, huge, examples Hillcrest 2300, Kings 2500, St Andrews 1500, Clover Hill 900. Somerset 1500, Gold Coast Christian 400, Marymount 1400 plus at least another 20 schools, early learning centres and Autistic centre. Add to that teachers and staff and you have a huge number of people who will be put at risk from air pollution, traffic, noise, and a major health hazard Silica. This Quarry being the closest to a residential Community must be stopped for our kids’ sake.”
“I have a family of Asthmatics. Silica dust floating around will cause us major health concerns. Not only that the natural beauty the flora & fauna will be disturbed. Someone think about the koalas!
No way should a quarry of this magnitude be built by existing homes & schools.”
This would ruin our beautiful coastal landscape and the damage it would do!🥹
My biggest concern is that this quarry would fundamentally change what Reedy Creek is. People move here because it’s quiet, green and connected to the hinterland — that’s exactly why I bought my home here. A quarry doesn’t just add trucks and noise, it turns a peaceful residential area into an industrial zone. Heavy vehicles on local streets, dust in the air, blasting, and the loss of surrounding bushland would permanently damage the character and liveability of the suburb. Once that happens, you can’t undo it. We’re not talking about a small inconvenience — we’re talking about losing the very thing that makes this community special.
This proposed quarry doesn’t belong here. I’m speaking up for those who will most severely be affected by heavy industrial quarry operations – the blasting, vibrations, dust, airborne RCS, all in close proximity of longstanding homes as well as the heavy vehicles clogging up an already clogged up road network through multiple school zones, and the irreversible destruction to the ground profile, the flora and fauna, including our endangered Koalas. We don’t need to justify it’s wrong, because the GCCC and an appeals courts has already said no before. Enough is enough, no means no.
I love living here in Reedy Creek because it is a quiet location with a lot of wildlife and I feel if the quarry go’s ahead it will damage more of our beautiful bushland which in turn means more of our native birds and animals will disappear.
I oppose the proposed quarry because it threatens one of the last intact green corridors on the southern Gold Coast. Clearing habitat for koalas and native wildlife, introducing crystalline silica dust into nearby communities, and adding hundreds of heavy truck movements each day would permanently change the character of Tallebudgera Valley. This region is valued for its natural beauty and liveability, and once industrialised, that loss cannot be undone. We need planning that protects both our environment and our community’s health for the long term.
