Tallawarra A Power Station Efficiency Upgrade

Oh, you Do not. I know that. I Walk Country here. You have No Respect for Country.

I have to place my government in an Investigation into Harm and Loss To All On Country in a Dry Continent, named Australia, named Australia, but not this at all, a Country, but many, and many are Here Now and saying, Get Off My Country, Now. Yeah. Elders. Yeah. Unheard, yeah.

Hello,
As a relatively recent local resident (4 years) raising a family in the Port Kembla area, I am concerned about the projected increases in air pollution forecast through this project. I can smell the sulphur dioxide in the area and am concerned about the lack of air quality monitoring data being collected in the suburbs surrounding the Tallawarra B Power Station.

Prior to any approvals for this application, it is appropriate, sensible and fair to ask for:
- Independent (i.e commissioned through government, not the proponent) air quality impact assessments for the surrounding suburbs (inc Port Kembla, Warrawong, Cringila, Lake Heights, Primbee)
- A re-commissioning (after the recent de-commissioning) of the Warrawong Air Quality Monitoring station ASAP, to understand the current levels. The Warrawong Station was de-commissioned after 3 consecutive years of air pollution levels exceeding acceptable levels. It should be urgently re-commissioned to establish a baseline from which to accurately measure current levels, and any future increases.
- No approvals to any project that foreshadows increased air quality pollution, until independent modelling has been completed and independent data collected over a minimum 12 month period, with concurrent analysis being undertaken to monitor Tallawarra B production during that period ( i.e cross-checking production with air quality pollution levels).

Given the dire medium-long term consequences of increased air pollution to the surrounding populations, I request that all measures above are undertaken as soon as practicable to ensure that current levels are full understood, and future modelling is detailed, independent, accurate and for all surrounding/potentially impacted areas.

Thanks

I am in favour of the upgrade to the power station.

Tallawarra power station upgrade is vital to keep the lights on in NSW. Besides being a long term employer in the Illawarra Tallawarra has been a vital supporter of the community.
I support the project and believe the benefits far outweigh the minimal ESG metrics that the the climate industry are using to bring our cost of living and energy to the highest in the world.
