Pay now, pay forever…

The people of the Hunter are already paying for a proposal (Tillegra Dam) that hasn’t even been approved! Residents want to know what they are paying for and why, when clearly they are opposed to this destructive project…
In a recent survey, the majority of respondents (73 per cent) agreed with the statement “the dam is expensive and the money could be better spent elsewhere in the Hunter”.
Seventy-seven per cent agreed that there were cheaper, less damaging alternatives to secure the Hunter’s water supply such as rainwater tanks and recycling.
Sixty-seven per cent agreed that the damming of the Williams River would damage the river and the environment.
