A Gunnedah-based regional advocacy group is this week hosting a “water security round table” in what is describes as a firm, coordinated stand for the protection of the Namoi Catchment. Strategic Futures Inc – which aims to support investment in food, fibre, and water – will today host a Gunnedah meeting in response to the NSW Government consultation about building a pipeline from Lake Keepit to Tamworth. “This is a regional emergency in the making,” Strategic Futures chair CJ Baldry Adams said.
