Burwood Beach Newcastle

Dear Surfriders and Friends,

Access to clean water is a fundamental desire for most surfers, and there’s an opportunity to comment on Hunter Water’s upgrade plans for the Burwood Beach Treatment plant.

Hunter Water is planning to upgrade its largest wastewater treatment plant – at Burwood Beach in Newcastle.

The plant currently services the wastewater needs of a catchment equivalent to around 180,000 people in the Newcastl

e and Lake Macquarie City areas. It discharges biosolids and treated effluent to the Pacific Ocean via a 1.5 km pipeline (outfall) which sits approximately 20 metres below the water’s surface.

Surfrider has representatives on the Consultative Committee, along with a few other surfers, and it would great to get your thoughts about what’s happening on our Coast.

Have a read of the below documents and Have Your Say in this community consulation process.

2.    send your comments via email to burwoodprojectteam@hunterwater.com.au
3.    contact the Project Manager, Lauren Randall, on 02 4979 9754.

    In the past I’ve experienced tinnitus (ear ringing). It usually comes and goes quickly and is fairly mild. Lately the ringing is much more intense at times and I end up losing hearing in that ear for a matter of seconds and then it comes right back. Normally I just acknowlege my symptoms as POTS and don’t bring them back up to my Dr. Do you all agree with this approach? At what point do we call the Dr/nurse and let them know that a certain symptom is back or is more intense? Thanks again for your advice, Lisa
