The Dialogue has analysed long-term data to determine how air quality in the Upper Hunter has changed and how it compares with other locations.
In response to stakeholder feedback at the 2018 Community Forum regarding concerns about perceived air quality impacts in the Upper Hunter, the Dialogue commenced a project to analyse publicly available air quality data gathered through the Upper Hunter Air Quality Monitoring Network, to provide an assessment of long-term trends of air quality.
Following an initial report which was completed in 2018, the project is undertaken annually with the objective to provide transparent and accessible reporting on the following two questions:
- Has the air quality in the Upper Hunter Valley changed since monitoring began?
- Is the air quality changes in the Upper Hunter Valley measured at the monitoring stations different from air quality changes measured at other locations in NSW?
