Moorebank. 'Largest' in the nation

Michael Deegan, infrastructure co-ordinator, with Infrastructure Australia, said the proposed Moorebank intermodal freight terminal would be the largest in the nation. He told a Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport luncheon the complex would include at least two rail spurs which would connect to the Southern Sydney Freight Line by a new bridge over the Georges River. He said the army's School of Military Engineering, which occupies the site, would not go to Puckapunyal, Victoria, but will most likely move to Holsworthy Barracks. Liverpool Council, GM, Phil Tolhurst, said in the Liverpool City Champion, that in spite of numerous inquiries the council had not much information on the project.

Mr Deegan seems to know a lot about what the Defence Department will be doing in relation to this site yet the Government says no decision has yet been made, makes you wonder who is running the show on this one. Someone is not telling the whole story about what will happen reagarding the proposed Moorebank Intermodal site. Why was the meeting held in Campbelltown and not Liverpool whose residents would be the most affected by this proposal, sonething to hide? Maybe Mr Deegan should visit the area again and explain to Holsworthy and Wattle Grove residents what effect this will have on them. May be he didn't read the maps too well but there are heavily populated areas right next door to the proposed terminal at Holsworthy and Wattle Grove.
