Watertight Case for Ferry

I am pleased to announce the launch of a review I have commissioned into the feasibility of a ferry service in Glebe.

Over 1, 000 people recently signed my petition for a ferry service in the area.

The next step has been to conduct a preliminary investigation using existing commuter data. This has now been realised in the form of the Glebe Ferry Feasibility Review.

I will be consulting with the community on this issue, to shape the project from here and determine the needs of residents, community organisations, local groups, ferry workers, and commuters.

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.
