DESTINATION PAGODA ECONOMIC BUSINESS REPORT

9/19/2020

0 Comments

 

New economic research by Dr Jo Mackellar has demonstrated that Lithgow will gain significant job and economic benefits if a new state conservation area were created on its doorstep. The report, commissioned by the Gardens of Stone Alliance, assessed the potential visitors to a planned Gardens of Stone State Conservation Area and the economic contribution of those visitors to the local region. The research identified the community benefits to Lithgow from the new reserve.

RE: MOUNT PIPER ENERGY RECOVERY PROJECT (SSD-8294) Submission

2/26/2020

The Lithgow Environment Group Inc. was formed in 2005 to protect, conserve, and enhance our
unique natural environment, landscapes, flora, fauna, and waterways.

The Lithgow region has made a significant contribution to the NSW economy for over 150 years.
However, our local community and the environment has paid a very high price for providing NSW
with coal and coal-fired electricity generation.

Lithgow is trying to promote a cleaner-greener image as it transitions away from coal, to attract
Tourism and Tree-changers. The “Yuck Factor” of a Waste Incinerator will be highly detrimental.
NSW Health Sydney West Area Health Service has identified that the health status of people living in

the Lithgow LGA is on many measures far worse than other parts of NSW. The communities most
affected by this Proposal (Blackmans Flat, Portland, Cullen Bullen, Pipers Flat, Lidsdale, Wallerawang)

already have high levels of relative disadvantage, making them more susceptible to additional health impacts from environmental stressors such as air pollution and waste transport by trucks.
