Progress on Callan Park

Earlier this month, I took a delegation of local representatives to meet with the Minister for Environment to talk about finally securing the future of Callan Park.

We received strong commitments against allowing any development and the offer to work collaboratively on plans for the future of the site.

We’ve made progress in our campaign, defeating development proposals by the former Labor government and recently won a landmark assurance from the Environment Minister that the government will not permit residential or commercial development on the site.

I am committed to:

Establishing a fully funded Callan Park and Broughton Hall Trust with strong local representation to preside over long-term planning for the site.
Protecting the park’s tranquil heritage landscape from overdevelopment.
Ensuring the return of modern, humane health services to the site.

The absence of apartments on Callan Park today is evidence of our success to date. The fate of Callan Park still hangs in the balance but I’m determined to secure the future of the site once and for all.

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.
