Communities along the proposed WestConnex route continue to be ignored when it comes to the basic mitigation measures that might make their lives more bearable. The Sydney Motorway Corporation has confirmed it will build a solid five-metre noise wall between the Wattle Street construction site and adjacent houses on Walker Avenue, Haberfield.

Labor representatives have come out swinging against plans to introduce weekend clearways on major arterial roads in busy inner west streets including King Street Newtown, Parramatta Road Stanmore and Sydenham Road, Marrickville.

Jo Haylen MP, Member for Summer Hill, today slammed the decision by the Berejiklian Government to release the environmental impact statement (EIS) for the third stage of WestConnex only weeks after submissions for the concept design closed.

The Berejiklian Government has failed to plan for any new schools in the Sydenham to Bankstown growth area – despite 100,000 extra people moving in.

The Sydenham to Bankstown Corridor Strategy will bring an additional 35,000 dwellings into existing crowded suburbs over the next 20 years.

Before I delve into the detail of the issues, I need to disclose that I live with my husband and son within the Dulwich Hill Precinct. These plans potentially affect half of the Summer Hill electorate and I stand with you as both a Member of Parliament and an affected resident.

The NSW Parliament has today moved an historic motion that supports the right of women to make the choice that is right for them, including the right to access safe, legal abortion.

The historic motion in support of women’s right to access legal, safe abortion was unanimously supported by Australia’s oldest parliament.
