Grants worth a total of $400,000 have been awarded to 11 community organisations in the Cronulla electorate through the NSW Government’s 2022 Community Building Partnership Program.
The grants will go towards better facilities for a range of organisations from schools to disability and social services.
I thank the hardworking groups for their enthusiasm in preparing applications for the program this year; we continue to have many great volunteers in the Shire who want to make a difference for the community. I look forward to seeing the benefits of the successful projects.

How about going after minns and sharpe for their lies about the brumby count. This is your chance but all we hear are crickets
Tirion Wilkinson and Chloe McKenzie-Matteson are best friends and year 6 students at Yowie Bay Public School.
Last year Tirion was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer.
On World Ovarian Cancer Day, Chloe shaved her hair off to raise money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.
At the time of my speech they’d raised over $150,000; their tally is now over $190,000! ... See MoreSee Less

Amazing thing for these two impressive girls to do. The response from the community just shows how desperate people are for positive news for women and girls. Ovarian cancer has been overlooked for too long and needs urgent research funding - the community has shown that they agree.
Thankyou Mark Speakman for recognising our daughters struggle and her amazing friendship with Chloe and Chloe shaving her head and their efforts for fundraising together x we couldn’t be more prouder of our girls x they are our future female leaders that’s for sure!
Two very strong and inspirational young ladies. Well done girls , sending love and strength to Tirion xx 🩷🩷
