I wonder who would move to the Central Coast knowing they were going to inhale toxic dust for decades?
Like many others, I presume, the only warning I got when I bought a home in Gorokan 20 years ago, was advice that long-wall coal mining was being conducted.
I was provided a number to call if cracks started to appear in my walls.
Little did I know that 12 and 14km away, Vales Point and Munmorah power stations were dumping toxic waste into ash dams, and the harmful chemicals were free to fly into the air I breathed and leach into the groundwater that flows into the nearby lakes.
Today, the NSW Government is considering approving a 45ha housing development at Doyalson, which is situated between these two dams.
To top it off, the Munmorah site is contaminated with PFAS.
I don’t know about my fellow readers, but I wouldn’t live anywhere near something that could potentially give me cancer, a brain tumour, asthma or other respiratory illness.
Forever chemicals in my forever home?
No thanks.

i agree, would the NSW Government decision makers move their families to Doylson, I don’t think so
