House Select Committee to visit Muswellbrook, Lithgow and Sydney for nuclear power inquiry

AS PART OF ITS INQUIRY into nuclear power generation in Australia, the House of Representatives Select Committee on Nuclear Energy will conduct multiple public hearings in New South Wales from December 10 to 12.

The committee will visit Muswellbrook, Lithgow and Sydney.

Chair of the committee, Dan Repacholi MP, the Federal Member for Hunter, said, "Each public hearing is a chance for the committee - and for people following the inquiry - to build our understanding of the concerns and priorities of communities in areas that have been earmarked for potential nuclear plants, and to hear from a range of stakeholders, including technical experts and advocacy groups, about the potential benefits and challenges of nuclear energy for Australia.”

The hearings can be accessed online.

The committee will be holding further public hearings in Western Australia later this month. 

Programs for all hearings and further information about the inquiry, including the inquiry terms of reference, are available on the Committee’s website.
