Save the Kowmung River

1) That this House notes that:

a) Last week, I went out and explored reaches of the pristine Kowmung River which brings clean and clear water into Sydney's drinking water supply in Lake Burragorang

b) The Kowmung River winds through the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area in the Hawkesbury-Nepean catchment. It is one of only six declared wild rivers in NSW

c) This Government has committed to raising the Warragamba Dam wall by 14 metres as part of a flood mitigation strategy for the Hawkesbury­Nepean Valley

d) Construction is estimated to cost about $690 million, some of which will be inappropriately sourced from the Climate Change Fund

e) 2,355 hectares of urban land in the North West Sector Growth Area is currently being developed on flood prone land

f) Raising the Warragamba Dam will drown an extensive reach of the Kowmung River and put 3,000 hectares of World-heritage listed national

. park under water

g) If the dam wall is raised, river banks will slump and overflow, silt will move down river, the surrounding bushland will be flooded and endangered species will be killed.

h) The wall raising is being pursued despite alternative flood management options and better and cheaper alternatives to use and conserve precious water supplies.

2) That this House calls on the NSW Government to:

a) Abandon plans to raise the Warragamba Dam wall and find preferred water and flood management options for Sydney.

b) Keep the Climate Change Fund for purposes only related to mitigating climate change risks

c) Keep out wild rivers wild and save the Kowmung River.

NOTICE OF MOTION Mr Shoebridge says-

I give notice that on the next sitting day I will move:

1, That this house notes with concern that: a, The NSW Department of Finance Services and Innovation has stated that they

will not be extending employment guarantees for cleaners that have been in

place since 1994 in the new contracts in 2018; b. The Fair Work Act allows employers, such as the NSW govefnn1ent, to take

this action; c. 7000 school cleaners in NSW will need to reapply for their jobs for the first

time in 24 years; d. Many of these already precarious and underpaid workers will be placed under

unnecessary financial stress, including housing stress; e, Regional school cleaners will face the brunt of this announcement, as many of

these workers will be unable to find another job in their area if their contracts

are not renewed; f This action against cleaners is just part of a broader problem in our society and

economy were cleaners performing essential and hard work for which we

should all be grateful every day receive only a fraction of the income of investment bankers whose work is neither essential or physically demanding.

2, That this house calls on:

a. The NSW Government to ensure jobs are guaranteed to all cleaners who want

to continue employment under the new agreement;

b. The Commonwealth governn1ent to amend the Fair Work Act so previous

employment guarantees are retained when new contracts are drawn up.
