THE GREENS' PLAN FOR A LIVEABLE SYDNEY

It's clear from feedback we're receiving that people are disappointed successive state governments have waved through overdevelopment, failed to invest in public transport and have done nothing about overcrowded schools.

We've also seen the corrosive influence of big developers and vested interests in the Liberal and Labor parties, as exposed by the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Jamie Parker is committed to protecting what makes our community special, and ensuring NSW plans for the long-term.

This means...

STOPPING OVERDEVELOPMENT We must ensure Sydney is protected from bad planning by private developers concerned only with their profit, rather than providing NSW with what it needs. Affordable housing, green spaces, childcare centres, public transport and sporting facilities are all key to create a liveable city.

INVESTING IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT Jamie Parker is working to extend light rail along Parramatta Road from the CBD to Strathfield, as well as a branch to the Balmain peninsula. The Liberal and Labor plan for the polluting WestConnex tollroad will be a disaster for Sydney.

INVESTING IN EDUCATION Our local area desperately needs a new primary school to address overcrowding. We must also prioritise resourcing existing public schools and restore TAFE funding. A strong public education system is key to investing in the next generation and building a fair, successful and cohesive society.

POWER NSW WITH 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY

FIGHT CORRUPTION IN NSW POLITICS

In his second term as the Member for Balmain, you can count on Jamie Parker to continue to stand up as a strong, independent voice in the middle of Parliament – rather than just another MP from the old parties, under the sway of the factions.

Jamie such a crock of shit. Governing for the over privileged inner west. Sydney needs more housing close to the good jobs. Thats your patch old son. The poor buggers in Campbelltown and Penrith might like to live in the inner west but you are stopping them

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.
