I notice Mr Crouch says 3,000 jobs are to be created at the Kariong parklands precinct (CCN Aug 28).
That would mean at least 2,000 motor vehicles entering and leaving that site each day.
Mr Crouch could perhaps visit Kariong between 8am and 9.30am each morning and see the problems that exist now with the vehicles attempting to use the precinct.
The Baxter centre, the International Sports School and the Mountains High School traffic block the roads at that time and that does not include people living in the residential area adjacent to the parklands.
Infrastructure also includes roads not just water and sewerage works.
If the State Government is serious about bringing jobs to the area then a couple of hundred million would first need to be spent on the roads.
We already have very dangerous conditions with both the “rat run” down Debenham Rd and the suicidal conditions of Woy Woy Rd to the peninsula.
Lastly I suggest Mr Crouch refers to the 2014 “Mount Penang Development Control Plan” paid for by the taxpayers at great expense which sets out how the area is to be developed so as not to cause the very problems that Mr Crouch is seemingly about to cause.
