ADVERTISEMENT INATIONALS / Regional Australia Barnaby Joyce MP Federal Member for New England New Dungowan Dam will provide water security. The new Dungowan Dam should absolutely go ahead, right now there are no other options before us to secure water security for Tamworth and the Peel Valley. To have a State Greens MP telling regional areas they can't have any new dams is beyond infuriating. What we must ask ourselves: is Tamworth growing? Yes, it is. Have we had water restrictions in the past? Yes, we have. Will we have more restrictions in the future without this alternate water source? Yes, we will. Future water restrictions will mean the standard of living for those in Tamworth and the Peel Valley will only go down. These reports we have seen recently say the dam isn't needed for Tamworth at this point in time. Well, thankfully the dam is a means for the city's future generations. The two choices on the table for Tamworth is to stop growing or find more water. I know which choice that I and the rest of the city should choose. 454-456 Peel Street, Tamworth NSW 2340 (02) 6761 3080 @barnaby.joyce.mp@aph.gov.au @barnabyjoyce.com.au f Barnaby JoyceMP Authorised by B.Joyce, 454-456 Peel Street, Tamworth NSW 2340.
