Stan and Suzanne Corbett have sent 'hundreds of letters' about the effect the train line would have on 'booming' south-west Logan, but say their worries have fallen on deaf ears.
abc.net.au/news/qld-inland-rail-train-line-noise-logan-kagaru-to-acacia-ridge/101662386For 23 hours of the day, Suzanne and Stan Corbett's home in Forestdale is their personal piece of paradise."You can feel the vibration coming through the ground to your house, you can't hear a phone conversation, you can't hear the TV," Mrs Corbett said.
The Kagaru to Acacia Ridge section – or K2ARB – will become the final stretch of the 1,700 kilometre rail line.By 2040, 40 trains will pass their house every day.The Corbett's have been fighting to have the line re-routed or revised since they heard about the proposal.They say their concerns have been ignored.
"We just want it built with the people in mind, but it feels like ARTC don't care about that, they just care about getting the rail built."The Corbett's paid for population modelling to estimate how many people would be affected by the rail line in their area."South-west Logan is booming and it's all around this railway line — it'll be disruptive to everybody.
But the coordinator general's office denied that request, stating "the project is in an existing operational rail corridor and did not require complex approvals".Australian Rail Track Corporation said it had completed similar studies, but Mr Corbett said "it doesn't have the teeth an EIS would have".What you've done isn't good enough, go back and do it again'," he said.
