Demand that Minister Rose Jackson commit to a permanent plant start date before the 2028 filter expires at Cascade Dam in Katoomba. We are calling on Labor NSW and Water Minister Rose Jackson to stop moving the goalposts and deliver three concrete commitments:
- A Binding Construction Schedule: Confirm the timeline and funding for the permanent $80–100M Cascade Filtration Plant upgrade immediately.
- No Expiry Extensions: An explicit rejection of extending temporary mobile filtration beyond early 2028 as a substitute for real infrastructure.
- Total Transparency: Monthly, publicly accessible published testing data comparing raw water PFAS levels to treated tap water levels.

Our health is much more important than money.
Government KNEW this was going on but did NOTHING about it until the community made it public. It makes me SO ANGRY!!!
We need the data published to have confidence the water is safe and the government is protecting us.
Protect the community from ingesting pfas!
The dangers to our health of these forever chemicals are settled facts and our government has a responsibility to protect us all.
We all have a right to clean, unpolluted drinking water. PFAS means our waterways will be forever toxic. Action now!

Living in Katoomba just a few kilometres from the water contamination site, and drinking PFAS affected water daily.
