Greens MP announces $300,000 in community funding

Community organisations in the Balmain electorate will receive close to $300,000 in funding after they were recommended by Greens MP Jamie Parker under the NSW government's Community Building Partnerships Program.

"I am delighted to announce the community organisations which have been successful in their applications for funding," Mr Parker said.

"I congratulate these projects on having put forward excellent community building proposals.

"I supported these projects because I believe these organisations are doing invaluable work in our community and I want to do everything I can to help.

"Funding will go to a number of worthy projects including new playground equipment for Nicholson Street Public school in Balmain East as well as a playgroup at Rozelle Neighbourhood Centre, assistance for a disability services provider in Haberfield, developing a sports court in Glebe and renovating the P&C canteen at Leichhardt Public School.

"I will continue to support community organisations which are doing important work in our neighbourhoods," Mr 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.
