GreenWay petition set to spark parliamentary debate in 2012

Greens MP Jamie Parker is seeking community support to reach 10,000 signatures calling on the government to build the GreenWay.

“The O’Farrell government has committed to allowing a parliamentary debate on any petition that reaches 10,000 signatures," Mr Parker said.

“The GreenWay petition has over 8,000 signatures and I will continue to collect names in the coming months to ensure we have a debate when parliament resumes in 2012.

"I'm calling on the Government to construct the GreenWay project as part of the Inner West Light Rail Extension so that the communities of the Inner West can reap the benefits of this important project," Mr Parker said.

To sign the petition and help collect signatures, visit www.friendsofthegreenway.org.au or www.jamieparker.org.au.

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.
