Concerns Port Kembla could be a military target if it becomes an Australian nuclear submarine base
Wollongong councillor Cath Blakey said her community is alarmed by the prospect of a nuclear submarine base being built on its doorstep.
"It's causing alarm that it could make us a potential military target," Ms Blakey said.
"We want to see the focus on peacekeeping and public infrastructure, not nuclear proliferation. I think it's a potential sovereign risk to Australia to be hitching ourselves to the US and the UK."
