See link to my article on housing - it’s urban form & transforming potential; it’s enduring character, both in terms of its permanent presence & physical durability; it’s design quality & too-little appreciated opportunities & obligations for architects architecture.com.au/archives/readi…

(1/2) Lithgow yesterday with Channel 10's Hugh Riminton. A nuclear power station is an unacceptable risk to Sydney's drinking water catchment (Warragamba). Risk of a major accident or leakage might be remote. But consequences could make the water supply undrinkable, forever.

Sydney water catchment expert, Professor Ian Wright, says the Coalition’s plan to put a nuclear power plant at Mt Piper, poses an “unacceptable risk” to Sydney water safety. Details ⁦@10NewsFirst⁩ 5pm

The risk of a major accident or leak of radioactive contamination from the proposed nuclear power station would be very small. But the consequences would be catastrophic for Lithgow, NSW and all of Sydney. To manage this risk - don't build it in a drinking water catchment!

Hugh Riminton@hughriminton

His reasoning is that Mt Piper sits atop the Warragamba catchment, where 90%+ of Sydney’s water comes from. He says even the “minute risk” of a major malfunction is unacceptable because it could contaminate Sydney’s water “for multiple generations.”

Walking amongst the walk up flats - wouldn’t they be so easily civilised by more landscape & trees…& less driveway & concrete.. @RandwickCouncil had an excellent policy to try to improve them, but what’s happened? Really planning needs to prioritise tree planting & urban shade
