Currently leading teams striving to protect where we live. Wetlands to the north and south, Lake Macquarie to the east and an environmental buffer zone to the west, Eraring is unique.The southern wetland system, Lake Eraring / Muddy Lake is listed in NSW as a State Significant Wetland. Neighbouring land is zoned E4 Environmental Living appropriate to the quiet eco-friendly bushland area. It is not suited to the development of a Sport and Recreation Centre with commercial sporting facilities.Under the Environmental Impact Statement which permitted the Eraring Power Station, the 1150 hectares acquired is to be managed as a buffer zone for the benefit of native fauna.Due to a toxic coal ash dam at risk of collapsing, the Myuna Bay Sport and Recreation Centre is closed. Power Station owner, Origin, has a deal with the NSW Government to give away buffer zone land and build a new Sport and Recreation Centre.It appears Origin is unable or unwilling to fix the ash dam safety to the satisfaction of the Office of Sport.Alternatively, the Office of Sport is focussed on a new bigger Centre with expanded facilities to rent to sporting teams and other organisations.The ash dam continues to be used and is being expanded.If the ash dam collapses under adverse weather circumstances it will create an unmodelled tsunami like storm surges across the Lake and dump millions of tons of toxic water and ash into Lake Macquarie and associated wetlands.The Eraring Residents Association aims to protect our bushland and aquatic environments and maintain the rural nature of the area for the benefit of residents, visitors and future generations.We will contest Origin’s ability to dispose of or give buffer zone land away.We are collaborating with other organisations to protest the NSW Government and Origin’s careless attitude to coal ash safety.
