Concern was raised at Council last week over safety issues if a Development Application for a service station on the Sturt Highway was approved.

“This proposed development is just a stupid idea. It’s dangerous,” one of the objectors, Judy Jarratt told Council.

Mrs Jarratt, who lives next to the proposed service station between Russell and Moama Streets in South Hay, said she has witnessed near misses due to the speed vehicles travel past her house.

Industrial land, freight movement and housing development are all included in Hay Shire Council’s updated Aerodrome Master Plan.

The plan is now ready for community consultation and also includes general aviation and biodiversity offsets.
