Its been a busy time since our last post, check out what’s been happening.

SSAG’s submission to the NSW Legislative Assembly Committee on Energy and Planning
You will recall we informed the group about the above inquiry which was looking at the sustainability of renewable energy in NSW which also included looking at how this impacts on regional communities. It is now available on the Inquiry webpage, we urge you to have a read of not only SSAG’s, but some of the other submissions to get an understanding of what the tone of this inquiry will be about. SSAG will be watching with interest to see where hearings are held, will they be in regional areas, west of the Great Divide or will they be in cities on the coast?

Correspondence with the Department of Planning, Industry and the Environment (DPIE) and Renew Estate
Most of you would be unaware that the SSAG does contact the DPIE from time to time seeking updates on the progress of the Springdale project. We have reported previously that the DPIE doesn’t think it appropriate for them to contact Renew Estate and even suggested that we could contact them ourselves if we want to know anything. The attached copy of our latest email emphatically states that we believe it falls to DPIE to fulfil this duty on behalf of those impacted by developments.
