Over the past 20 years my family and I have enjoyed sailing, fishing, camping, kayaking, snorkelling and surfing on Western Port.

I want my childrens' grandchildren to be able to enjoy the bay as well.

I'm very concerned about the environmental impact of development of a freeway and rail link along Western Port Hwy from Hastings to Dandenong and beyond. Our neighbour has just spent $200,000 and 9 years to get 10 acres subdidvided into 2 blocks because of all the environmental concerns, yet VICROADS and the Napthine Government with this loony plan can just ride roughshod over all those impediments with one fell swoop for vested interests they have with no regard for any people, properties, businesses and the environment. Surely the development closer to Melbourne - Geelong etc would be far more cost effective and simple with less disruption to all of the above.

The Port expansion in Western Port is not a sensible or responsible decision. The economics do not stack up against the environmental damage and economic losses which will affect the locals.

ENOUGH. Once all the developments have been developed. Where will you sit to rest and contemplate?
It only takes a few mistakes to realise that there is no return ....No return back from an action whose consequences cannot be predicted safely and no tangible return of any kind in real human terms.We are all human after all....
Diversity and beauty of the land and ocean is the real currency to value .We must treasure it as the real treasure that it is! Kind Regards, Lucy Boyd

In this time of climate change why would we be spending billions in order to export brown coal and woodchips from Victoria? Surely this is the time to be investing every single available penny in renewable energy, biodiversity and climate change adaptation.

Please show some courage and leadership and put a stop to this kind of mindless industrialism at the expense of our natural environment.

I fully support Hands Off Hastings in their effort to prevent the destruction of their unique marine environment, and the massive intensification of pollutive and dangerous road, rail & sea infrastructure that will follow.

The tokenistic and clandestine nature of so called consultation, and the facade of adhering to flimsy environmental legislation is both sickening and predictable in its falsity.

You can keep your shady deals and pockets full of cash, I'm sticking with Hands Off Hastings!

Westernport Bay and surrounds are of high environmental significance. I urge to to protect this precious area rather than expand for development and thereby cause the ultimate destruction of the natural integrity of the area.

This area has international obligations under the Ramsar Convention and hence protection of biodiversity and natural assets should be adhered to.

As regular users & explorers of Westernport Bay, the port will ruin recreational boating for everyone and the loss of wildlife and marine & coastal habitat can never be justified.The large tidal range make it unsuitable for large ships, the huge amount of dredging required will have widespread ramifications over the whole of the bay, including marine park areas, which are supposed to be protected by the government, not exploited for short term gain.

I think that the proposed expansion of the Port of Hastings at a public cost estimated at $9 billion is not justified. $4 billion has already been spent on dredging Port Phillip Bay so that large container ships can enter the Port of Melbourne, so why does Victoria need another large container port ??? If Asciano (owner of Pacific National’s rail operations and Patrick ports) wants to expand its business, it should not be done at the expense of the Australian taxpayer !!!!!

It makes no sense to spoil another area of the state of Victoria when a port has been established in Melbourne and a deep water port is available at Portland, either of which, with some imagination, can be used for the future port.

We, concerned citizens of Australia, call on the Australian Federal Government to immediately apply the precautionary principle and halt the proposed expansion of the Port of Hastings due to Western Port's environmental sensitivities, our international obligations under the Ramsar Convention, and to protect the various species listed under the Federal Government's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999.
