TCC Media Release: Tuggeranong residents say no to Tralee (04 January 2010)
The Tuggeranong Community Council (TCC) conducted a survey of residents on the proposed Tralee residential development. Residents were invited to participate in the survey by visiting the TCC website and answering a series of questions about the proposed Tralee development.
The results of the survey show that a majority of residents believe it is a bad idea to allow homes to be built at Tralee. They believe residents at Tralee will be subjected to aircraft noise. The majority of respondents are concerned that as a result of complaints by Tralee residents flight paths will be relocated over Tuggeranong.
Eighty three percent of respondents said it was a bad idea to build homes at Tralee while only 9.8% supported the development. More than 90% believed that if homes were built at Tralee residents would be affected by aircraft noise, 8.4% did not believe there would be any impact from aircraft and 1.4% had no opinion.
Seventy percent of respondents said they were “extremely concerned” while 19.7% were “concerned” that eventually aircraft flight paths would be relocated over Tuggeranong.
While 97% of all respondents were aware of plans to build homes at Tralee 83% said they had not been consulted over the plans.
Tuggeranong residents made up 76% of all respondents. 14% were other ACT residents and 9.8% lived in Queanbeyan and other areas of NSW.
The survey was conducted from 17 December 2009 to 4 January 2010 including the Christmas and New Year. The survey attracted a total of 75 respondents.
