Pittwater Life May 2024 Issue

for Pittwater
ing a radical overhaul of
our planning system, which
would override local communities
wishes.
“Their lazy, one-size-fits all
approach to planning would
see a significant increase in
density and population with
apartment building heights
set to more than double to 27
metres.
“At the same time, Labor
has cut vital infrastructure
and services. If this plan
proceeds, our environment
will be destroyed, public
transport overrun and roads
gridlocked.
“We all agree on the need to
improve housing supply and
affordability, but the Government
must work with communities,
not against them,
to achieve this goal, ensuring
adequate public transport,
infrastructure and services
are provided.”
Also, recently NSW had
become the first State in Australia
to ban offshore oil and
gas mining, prompted by the
ongoing uncertainty over the
extension of the PEP-11 lease.
“I was proud to introduce to
Parliament the strongest ever
Bill to protect Pittwater and
NSW’s coast and beaches from
severe environmental damage
caused from the release of
toxic materials in marine and
coastal environments.
“In February, Labor agreed
to support my proposal and
the NSW Parliament unanimously
voted for this ban to
become law – no other State
has acted this comprehensively.”
He added a one-year newsletter
will hit letterboxes this
month; it will include updates
on the Wakehurst Parkway,
Pittwater Road, e-Bikes,
reopening the Narrabeen Athletics
track, vaping amongst
kids, and more.
“Please reach out if you
would like me to attend a local
event or meeting, or if you
need any assistance.”
