Your support can save the Annandale: Community urged to turn up to a gig or to Pub Cha on Save Live Music Saturday

Community support can save live music at the Annandale Hotel, State MP Jamie Parker said following a meeting with the receivers in which he discussed an action plan to save the venue.

"Our petition let the receivers know loud and clear the huge level of community support to retain live music at the Annandale,” Mr Parker said.

“I'm calling on live music supporters to build on this momentum by encouraging friends to sign the petition and also by showing up in person,” Mr Parker said.

"We need people to turn up to gigs or come to Pub Cha for dumplings. I’m urging supporters to come to the Annandale on Saturday the 23^rd of March to join me for Pub Cha from 11am or for the gig from 8pm.

"A thriving live music venue contributes far more to a community than a pokie den and I will continue to work with Council as well as local pubs, cafes and restaurants to support local musicians and improve the viability of live music venues.

"I wanted to personally meet with the receivers to highlight the widespread support for live music in the community and to ensure I am doing everything I can to save this iconic local institution.

“I'm committed to fighting to keep live music at the Annandale for the long term.

“I have written to the Council and spoken to the Mayor to ask them to review the Council regulations on the venue, including operating hours.

"I have also raised the matter with the Minister for Hospitality and Racing and will invite him to join me for Pub Cha on Save Live Music Saturday to talk about live music and small bars in the Inner West,” Mr Parker said.

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.
