Public meeting on light rail shutdown

The inner west light rail is set to be decommissioned for up to 18 months due to cracking in all 12 tram sets that operate the line from the city centre to Dulwich Hill.

An 18 month light rail shut down is completely unacceptable.

Lots of locals have designed their work and school arrangements around the light rail. This line is an essential public transport link for people in the inner west who don’t have access to train services.

I’ve already met with the Minister for Transport’s office about what has caused the cracking, what the roadmap is to fixing it and how we can better design our public transport system to prevent this from happening again.

Please join my public meeting with Inner West Mayor Rochelle Porteous to hear about what has caused the cracking, and what needs to happen both to fix the trams and the way this line is managed.

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.
