Public meeting on Ballast Point Park

Last week 18 healthy, mature trees were cut down at Ballast Point Park.

Property NSW - who owns and manages the park - had planned to remove 47 trees without notifying the local community or consulting wildlife experts. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Thanks to a swift community response they have delayed the removal of the remaining trees and committed to consult with residents.

I'll be holding a public meeting to give residents in Birchgrove a chance to have their say and discuss how we can improve the overall management of Ballast Point Park in a way that includes the community.

We need trees to clean the air, provide shade, reduce heat and create habitat for wildlife. This is our chance to make sure Property NSW gets the management of Ballast Point Park right and does everything possible to preserve mature, healthy trees on site.

Register to attend the meeting at 5pm on Monday 1 November. We will send you a Zoom link before the meeting starts.

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.
