The State Water Plan

No mention of Tillegra Dam in Sydney Labor's State Plan

Released just days before the announcement in the media of the Tillegra Dam, Sydney Labor's State Plan makes no mention of building Tillegra Dam.

There is no mention of the dam in the section on "securing our supply of water and energy" - this section (pages 111-114) talks about securing water through increasing water recycling (targets are set for Sydney but not for anywhere else in the State!), increased efficiency of water use (again targets for Sydney but no mention of the rest of the state) and restoring water extraction from rivers to sustainable levels.

In the section specifically on the Hunter (up the back on pages 160 and 161) again there is no mention of Tillegra Dam. In fact, no mention of any new water initiatives (or any existing water initiatives!).

Refer to my media release on the day of the announcement.
