Standing up against Fish Markets overdevelopment

Our campaign to expose the huge number of developments being proposed for our local area has been boosted by excellent media coverage in the last few weeks.

Yesterday I spoke to ABC Local Radio Breakfast about the Bays Precinct (I come in at 2:20:55);
The Sun Herald covered the Sydney Fish Market redevelopment earlier in Jan; and
Last week we had a piece in the Sun Herald on Glebe Island.

I'm concerned that the government is pushing a number of ad hoc industrial and residential developments independently of one another without any consideration of their cumulative impact on our community or wider Sydney.

This includes the redevelopment of the Sydney Fish Market (which includes a plan for up to 2,700 new apartments in Pyrmont), the proposal for a casting plan at White Bay to supply the Western Harbour Tunnel, and the proposal for a multi-user facility at Glebe Island.

I've been working with local residents to protect the liveability of our local area and this media coverage has provided a high profile boost for our campaign.

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.
