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.
