I am delighted to announce Joan Robb as the Cronulla Senior of the Year for 2020.
Ms Robb has volunteered with Neighbourhood Aid/ BeConnected/ BetterConnected for over 24 years. She has made an outstanding contribution to the community as she held many roles including treasurer and member of the management committee.
MS Robb volunteers to take clients out and assists them with their shopping. She also shares a coffee and a chat with the clients as she transports them and accompanies them on morning tea outings.
This award is deserving recognition of Ms Robb’s tireless efforts and generosity.

- Stephen Deards – a volunteer with Sutherland Shire Bushcare for 30 years. As well as the nine Sutherland Shire Bushcare groups with which he currently volunteers, Stephen also volunteers with two groups operating within Kamay Botany Bay National Park.
- Geoff Schuberg APM – honorary secretary of Cronulla RSL Sub-Branch for over 10 years. He also helps with Department of Veterans Affairs claims while he continues to be the face of the Cronulla Sub-Branch for the ANZAC Day dawn services and Remembrance Day and Vietnam Veterans’ Day services.

Gymea Bay Baths are a magical spot - but now increasingly afflicted by water pollution and litter, including because of the huge growth in its popularity as a fishing spot.

Thanks for coming down to Gymea bay ,hopefully something can be done so we can all be proud to take family and friends to our beautiful baths .A place where many of us swim when water clean .thanks
Have the fisheries look into if it is truely a king fish breeding ground. If so, ban it!
Undersized fish being taken there daily and contact with fisheries results in 0 action. The place is always covered in fish guts and garbage relying on locals to clean up tourists mess.
Giving our police wanding powers would deter the carrying of knives and can therefore reduce knife crime. ... See MoreSee Less
