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.

The meeting notes were adopted. Answers to questions/actions arising from December meeting:» Q – Julie: Has the report on leaching into groundwater been finalised? Could the results be put into the community newsletter? What has been tested for and what are the locations of possible leaching – testing should be completed on all elements including Chromium 6.» A: Greg highlighted the first phase of the independent groundwater study on the Ash Repository is expected to be finalised in March 2020, including a recommendation of the proposed mitigation control measures for receptors.»EnergyAustralia have been working closely with consultants ERM, McMahon Services and the EPA, and are developing a concept design for mitigations. They are now close to finalising and EnergyAustralia will be able to provide a full update at the next CCC meeting without needing to speculate. 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.
