Kamay Ferry Wharves

This is a terrible idea

The cruise and ferry environment impact is undeniably detrimental. Why should the community and the marine life bear the brunt of another badly planned transport project. The community burst at the seams on any sunny weekend day Let’s continue to protect the warf area of Kurnell and La Peruse by leaving it alone instead of creating another paved paradise.

What are the benefits? This is not a transport solution. Public transport to/from La Peruse area is lacking. Trojan Horse 4 cruise terminal

I'm not sure how this idea is supposed to work with La Perouse already so busy that parking has been restricted to 4 hours.

Kurnell to La Perouse and then what?

Travelling from Kurnell to La Perouse by ferry is a great idea. However I don't believe anyone has proposed what happens after that. The light rail finishes in kingsford. The remnenance of the left over bus service in la Perouse is not ideal for commuting to the city or to Central. Can we suggest a drive on ferry? Where we can drive into the ferry ?

Not appropriate to be commercialising a national park & heritage precinct. The traffic congestion it will bring to the Bay is a big concern.

Save the Bay Coalition is opposed to this development.

Making more people visit will ruin the area. Buses already take people there, options to park are limited, and it's already too busy.

Already too busy

There is no way this can give improved access and facilities for recreational vessels as you will certainly not be permitted to use it.

False Recreational Vessel Claim

If it is operating on weekend and public holidays there is no possibility that parking will accommodate.

Need to ban cars for parking on the peninsular and include a bus trip from caringbah in the ticker price and infrastructure set up.

Will cause more parking issues

Both sides can not take any more congestion with more vehicles, currently insufficient roads and parking in the Larperouse area, one road in and out with massive problems already in summer. Residents can’t take anymore volume.

For cars?

Will cars be able to go on the ferry?

Must link with further public transport options

There is a great need for more diverse public transport in the area. Most buses have a limited rout selection (Central Station or Martin Place) and this contributes to more people driving personal vehicles and exacerbated the traffic problem. Ferry service must have links to more transport options including services to Bondi Junction, Eastern Beaches and the airport. More transport options including an extended light rail (as it was before) would also be desirable.

The 4WD park already fills the the one lane road to Kurneli re Australia Day. More people more cars - just say NO

Traffic is already bumper to bumper every fine weekend at La Perouse. How will more people get there to use ferry?

Bumper to bumper traffic

The proposal lacks a study on future traffic a significant factor.

future traffic unknown??

Weedy seadragons

Kurnell is one of the only places in Sydney with a healthy and growing population of weedy seadragons which are an endangered species. They are also sensitive to sound or vibration (same thing), such as from a ferry.

environmental impact is the major concern

The area will be simply destroyed even more the channel will require more frequent dredging and will affect endangered species

Divers travel from all over Sydney & Coastal regions to dive with these unique ecosystems. The potential loss of Tourist $'s not worth it!

Impact on fragile&rare marinelife: the iconic weedy seadragons, the sydney pygmy pipehorses, the red indianfish are just some examples

rare marine life impacts

Sydney is the best city due to these dive sites.Project destroys habitat for weedy seadragons,redindianfish, anglerfish& other unique fauna.

Crucial endangered species will be lost

The ferry service and other commercial vessels will cause serious disruption to marine life around Bare Island, Kurnell and Frenchman's Bay.

The best way to avoid damage it to not proceed with this development.

An unnecessary service which nobody ask for, in an area that doesn't need it, where the ecosystem and the communities will suffer inmensaly

No need, no social or environmental benefit...no point!!!

I have grave concern for the local turtles, octopus, weedy sea dragons, nudibranchs, cuttlefish, sharks: all marine life who reside here.

A favourite location for many in inner south/west. Destroyed for parking lots to get people onto cruise ships and $ in pockets of pollies.

gobsmackingly stupid idea.

This development will bring far too many people to an already crowded tourist destination, severely impacting resident amenity.

Save the Bay Coalition is opposed to this development because of the impact on community amenity

Will enable other small boat users to pick up and drop off friends and family

Accessibility for boat users

Create marine sanctuary that removes boaters from dives sites. 250m radius from shoreline. Both sides. Otherwise same as CTB MR

Hazard - will attract more recreational boaters

Kurnell is beautiful for its old world charm. Bare feet, bike riding and horses.

More people bring more rules and while we want to share the beauty of kurnell can you find a way to do the project and keep the car traffic away from the kurnell peninsular.
