Win on Sirius sell-off

The developer of the Opal Tower at Olympic Park has pulled out of the running to redevelop the site of the Sirius public housing block in The Rocks following an open letter from myself and Save Our Sirius.

I cosigned an open letter to the NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian urging her to stop the sale and demolition of Sirius.The letter was signed by Save Our Sirius Chair Shaun Carter, Member for Sydney Alex Greenwich and Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore.

Read coverage of the open letter in the Sydney Morning Herald here.

That same day, the developer Ecove backed out of the deal - see here.

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.
