Chair of the Committee, Mr Dan Repacholi MP, the Federal Member for Hunter, said “over the past month we have travelled to regions earmarked by the Federal Coalition as potential sites for future nuclear power plants. We wanted to hear from communities about their values and concerns about potentially introducing nuclear for their towns.”

The hearings can be accessed online.
