Water tanks and other options stonewalled
The lates with the tillegra dam proposal is dramatic and should prove to be the downfall of the labor government in the region. it seems that the government was sick of having to fight a battle so they passed legislation which meens that pretty much no one has a say anymore. Other options like water tanks are now irrelivent as the decision to go ahead no has no public input taken into consideration. Nathan reece was at the town hall at maitland last week but in usuual political way it seemed just to be a stonewall forum as a point to vent yet get nothing through to anyone. alternatives like the rainwater tanks inisitive that would cost 100’s of millions of dollars less are now seemsing to come upon deaf ears. Hunter water has senmt through their “environmental report” that should help cross off a few natives off the endangered list its a big report and it is due for relaes to the public in about 2 weeks so it should attract some media attention and i am sure there will be many response angles so keep a look out in the media.
