Hunter Water's proposed Tillegra Dam will be one of the biggest infrastructure projects built in the region this century.
The corporation says the dam is needed to drought proof the Hunter and beyond. But there's a backlash with a group of residents and Dungog Council calling for more proof the dam is needed.
