The gentleman did not explain how the Military site next to the Georges River and close to homes is going to be successfully cleared of the accumulated contamination pursuant to defence use for almost a century.

Surely the cost involved will be astronomical considering the poor land management practices of the past by Defence.

The gentleman also did not explain how Log Jam Liverpool will be negotiated past by motorists.

I think this scheme has so many large holes you could drive a fleet of trucks through them.

Load of rubbish as the location is next to 50,000ha of b ushland that need no deliveries. Out on a limb, this is definitely another Australia's Wonderland set to be replaced by real job opportunities for Liverpool once it is abandoned. The Government will find smarter players are lobbying for Western Intermodals and Rail Share putting this scheme in the knackers yard before it has hardly started.

It would be safer and more sensible not to risk disturbing that vastly polluted land as the cost of remediation would probably exeed its value and Defence has been caught before on that score.

Governments are not known as great in private business they should stick to Parliament.

Constituents living across the river from the intermodal have no say because we dont live in Liverpool we are part of the Campbelltown Electorate.

Its no wonder that Chris Hayes and Andrew McDonald support this because Werriwa is mainly made up of the Campbelltown region with suburbs reaching as far as Blair Athol and Minto.

We feel like Palestine at the moment under Israel (Campbelltown) or Tibet under China we have no say because were under Campbelltown electorate yet we live in the council of Liverpool.

We cant even complain to Mr Lynch or Mrs Irwin as we're not not in their electorate.

Chris cannot sit on two chairs Liverpool and Campbelltown and right now he is barracking for Campbelltown.

All for Campbelltown. Yet the impact on the River, Liverpool roads bad luck.

Provide us with an environmental impact study before you talk further of an intermodal.

The whole forum was how to make Campbelltown great.

Campbelltown a regional Hub! Jobs for Campbelltown!Population Growth for Campbelltown!

There was no talk of Liverpool. If Campbelltown want it so much put it out there. They have the infrastructure to support it.

The comments from Roy are true - a friend of mine who has worked in the Defence distibution centre along Moorebank avenue told me that if any goods received that were faulty they were buried on the site .This practise goes back a number of years and would make it very difficult and costly to do remedial work on the site.

Also I worked previously at Port Botany office of the Maritime services Board the old name for the ports corporation and it was well known the port was run on a heavily mechanised basis and employed few staff and the drivers would be sub contractors.

The environmental aspects would clearly outweight any employment opportunities.

This proposed so called Intermodal terminal is really a huge Rail/Road Container Transfer Terminal which will operate 24 hours, 7 days a week.

The noise of the Freight Trains coming and going (don't forget most of the freight trains are 100 carriages long) and the transfer of the Containers to Semi Trailers is going make a lot of noise, which the residents of Wattle Grove, Holsworthy, Glenfield, Ingleburn will find unbearable. Then this will all be foodlit at night, causing more problems for sleeping residents.

Mr. Deegan says it will take a million Semi Trailers off the highways, but it will put them back on our local roads.

Is the army going to move out to make way for this intermodal?? Isnt that stupendous on behalf of our government to send the army to woop woop considering we have something in the nearby vincinity that is and has been a target. I read that they expect the army to move in 2013 right in line with intermodal planning. Shouldnt the government encourage expansion of the army rather contraction. Why send the army to so far away does not make sense. The army man in the previous article was spot on

The proposal to construct the intermodal freight terminal on defence land at Moore Bank is not only about the ideal location, revenue and jobs, but also about the residents of Wattle Grove who paid a premium price for the land they built their houses on. Many residents reside within 100 to 200 metres of this site. Has anybody from Infrastructure Australia taken time to have a look and see whats next to this site, "houses" What do they plan to do to insulate residents from the substantial 24/7 increase in the noise level that sites of this nature historicly transmit. I would also like to have Mr Deegan qualify the statement "Take a million trucks off the road" I think he means move a million trucks to the liverpool area.

The extent of the intermodal was part of the Liberal's Federal Election policy in 2007, and the ALP are equally committed.

You can be assured it will go ahead - what we need to do is get the Federal and State Govts to come clean about what the proposal will do to the lives of residents and the environment.

The Greens have today put a series of questions to the NSW Govt in Parliament, and we will keep the pressure on until decent community consultation happens.

Once again residents of Holsworthy and Wattle Grove have been stabbed in the back by successive Governments who sold us the land and houses here whilst secretly planning this all along. We have been conned and suckered into buying here As far as I am concerned the gloves are off. Residents of Holsworthy and Wattle Grove need to pull out their maps to see how close this thing will be near them and then start kicking and screaming. Have a look at Google Earth and you'll see an existing spur line coming onto the site from the East Hills line. What's the bet the East Hills line will also be used for container freight. For Government Ministers to say that no decision has been made seems odd. Maybe they should read his own Departments website which seems to indicate that this will be happening.
