35 Metre A Double trucks are much longer than B Doubles which are longer than 19 metre semitrailers.
Manildra plans to use A Double tankers to move ethanol from its Bomaderry ethanol plant to a new Port Kembla facility for export. This is despite the NSW Government recently investing $40 million to upgrade the Kiama Bomaderry rail track for more and heavier freight trains.
If you have concerns about sharing your roads when driving to Port Kembla or down south to Kiama or points south with giant A Doubles, then share these concerns with the NSW Dept of Planning who have invited submissions by Monday 15 August.
Don’t wait to then, jump on:
and ask that NSW Government request Manildra give close consideration to using rail to move their ethanol to Port Kembla.
