Voters in the seat of Paterson will have an opportunity to quiz the
candidates from the major political parties on protecting the Williams
River and committing to rigorously assessing the Tillegra Dam proposal.
Candidates for the Federal seat of Paterson have been invited to present
their positions on the controversial Tillegra Dam proposal at a
Maitland Town Hall forum 6pm Tuesday, 17th August.
The Save the Williams River Coalition (SWRC) has organised this
community forum following Federal candidates’ strong expressions of
interest in speaking at the state based forum held in Newcastle in July.
The forum ‘Will the next Federal Government protect the Williams River?’
will follow a strict format. Community representatives will first
outline their perspective on the proposed dam and then candidates will
have six minutes to answer three set questions.
