‘Port
Enfield’
The proposed Enfield Intermodal Logistics Centre is 2.5km long by half a
kilometre wide and is located on the eastern side of the former Enfield
Marshalling Yards. The proposal involves the movement of containers by rail from
Botany to Enfield, where these containers will be loaded onto trucks for
distribution within Sydney. Surrounded by residential streets, the centre is to
operate 24 hours a day, 7 days per week and will attract up to 120 containers
and more than 1000 semi-trailers and B-doubles each day and night. The impact on
our community including unacceptable levels of noise, air pollution, traffic
congestion, loss of amenity, along with increased risk of very serious road
accidents.
This site has been declared a State significant development. This site is
contained within the boundaries of Strathfield Council boundary but the Council
is NOT the consent authority for this development. Though this development is
contained in Strathfield Municipality, the impact of the development affects
many bordering Council areas such as Bankstown and Canterbury.
