Submission to Select Committee on the Greater Sydney Parklands Trust Bill 2021

The NSW Parliament is considering a proposed law to wind back protections contained in the Callan Park Act that prevent the commercialisation and privatisation of our park.

The law has passed the Lower House of NSW Parliament - I was able to secure some important changes - but the law still needs to go through the Upper House.

Over the summer a parliamentary committee is reviewing the new law in detail before a vote is taken in the Upper House.

This committee process is our best chance to convince MPs in the Upper House that locals want to protect greenspace across Sydney including Callan Park.

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.
