Fuel stop build starts

September 3, 2010 INNER WEST COURIER
Work is about to start on a controversial boat refuelling station at White Bay.

Bailey's Marine Fuels Australia have signed the lease on the $8 million facility, which was announced by then-planning minister Kristina Keneally in June last year. Leichhardt Council had unanimously opposed the terminal. Mayor Jamie Parker said he was sad the land would not become public space.

"We're disappointed that the headland identified by Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority as a perfect location for a headland park is being used for this purpose when there are other locations which are more appropriate such as Glebe Island,'' Cr Parker said.

FERRIES AT ANNANDALE AND WEST BALMAIN

Imagine hopping on a ferry at Annandale or West Balmain and being in the heart of the city within minutes.

In 2020, we won the campaign for a Glebe ferry. Now, we have the opportunity to connect more of our area to the ferry network. New ferries at Annandale and West Balmain will provide a faster, smarter route into the city without adding to the traffic on our roads.

Both Labor and the Liberals want to build more polluting and destructive tollways across Sydney. But we have costed a comprehensive plan for a world-class public transport system that makes getting around our city fast and easy.

Dear Transport Minister,

New inner west ferry services would provide efficient, fast and environmentally sound travel to and from the area for workers, tourists, students, pensioners and the general public.

I therefore ask that the Government build on the success of the Blackwattle Bay ferry and establish a ferry service at Rozelle Bay for the Annandale area and reinstate the ferry at West Balmain.
