As you’re probably aware, cruise ships berthed at White Bay create air and noise pollution which significantly impacts on residents in local streets.
The cruise market is a significant growth segment of the tourism industry, which means pollution will increase.
Sydney Ports currently monitors air pollution using a machine located at the end of Adolphus St on a cliff top, which does not accurately reflect the amount of pollution to which residents are subjected.
Help put pressure on the government to address the concerns of residents about air and noise pollution by writing to the Minister:

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.
