GreenWay parliamentary debate set for 31 May 2012

Greens MP Jamie Parker was today presented with a 10,000 signature petition supporting the GreenWay, from representatives of local councils and the Friends of the GreenWay community group.

The petition will be debated by Parliament on 31 May 2012.

"I'm delighted to have been involved in such an important community campaign. After over a decade of community campaigning, this is important in ensuring that we keep pressure on the government to build the GreenWay," Mr Parker said.

"The presentation of these signatures is the culmination of many months of hard work by community members and local groups. The government must now act.

"I would like to congratulate all the dedicated supporters who have been involved in this campaign, particularly the Friends of the GreenWay," Mr Parker said.

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.
