Mr C G Robertson M L A addressed the Legislative Assembly for forty five minutes before adjournment. He delivered a comprehensive review on hospitalisation housing industry the Burrendong dam manpower and concerns about Communistic activity with a focus on Welington and district.
A NSW town faces acute housing shortages with an estimated 150 to 200 cottages needed in Dubbo and a further 200 in Wellington to improve conditions. Calls for government housing support, a maternity wing at a local institution, and better hospital provisions reflect urgent rural health and development concerns amid wartime strain on parts and labour.
The report details long planning for Burrendong Dam from 1896 onward, with priority given to beginning actual work within six months after hostilities end. A soil testing laboratory is planned, and preliminary tasks may include building a road from Mumbil Siding to Burrendong to prevent delays later. The note also mentions repurposing government machinery parts repairs and reclamation ideas, though it lacks full clarity on implementation.
