Rally Against Rous Council Damming Dunoon

Wednesday Feb 16, 2022
The people of LIsmore rallied again today against the half baked ideas of a new councilor who has put forward a motion to resurrect the unfeasible Dunoon Dam on Wednesday 16th February at the first Rous meeting since he was voted in.
Speakers at the rally detailed the importance of protecting cultural heritage & burial sites, the big scrub rainforest remnant (6.7% of the 1% that is left), and koala habitat (72ha), let alone resilient water security. The mindless push to promote the damming of Dunoon was condemned by all present as reckless and irresponsible on four key levels: Cultural Heritage, Ecology, Finances and Water Security.
The community gathered in their hundreds outside the Rous building in Lismore, to support the current IWCM, and their rejection of the motion to waste ratepayers money re examining the well resolved issues around this white elephant dam proposal.
The fight to save our region from this wasteful boondoggle is clearly far from over.
