I am excited to report that 41 new apartments for seniors are coming to Cardinal Freeman Village in Ashfield. I recently got to visit Cardinal Freeman to see them break ground on this project, as well as catch up with Gisele Mesnage and her beautiful guide dog Nyota, to have a look at one of many new and improved pedestrian crossings popping up all over Summer Hill! This is exactly the kind of safe and inclusive housing that we need in the inner west. These new apartments will give retirees more options to downsize and join a community that has no shortage of spirit and fun events! To go along with the 41 new independent living units, a new basement parking garage and an external landscaped courtyard are also set to be completed. These new additions will complement the existing building and have been designed to fit within the masterplan for the whole village to make Cardinal Freeman and the Inner West the best place for retirees. Thank you, Ian West and the members of the Cardinal Freeman Residents' Committee, for welcoming me to share this exciting moment with you all!
