Huge community meeting on Western Harbour Tunnel

Construction of the Western Harbour Tunnel toll road will begin soon under homes in Rozelle, Balmain and Birchgrove.

Maps released by the government indicate that this project has the potential to impact homes in our area.

This weekend I held a public meeting for residents to discuss the impacts of this project across our local area and what action locals can take.

Thank you to everyone who attended. We had such a huge turnout which sends such a strong message to the government that we care about how this project impacts our homes, our community and our environment.

The slides from the meeting are available for download by clicking here.

The meeting also received significant media coverage with news crews from 7News Sydney and 9News attending. See media coverage here.

Thank you to all the local volunteers who helped on the day and a special thanks to Councillor Kobi Shetty for her support and hard work. I'm committed to working with residents to minimise the impact of this project on our local area.

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.
