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.

I joined former Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein at the Western Sydney Migrant Resource Centre Liverpool, as he set off on a seven day walk to Canberra.
His venture “The Walk, Better Together” aims to raise awareness of the contribution of migrants and refugees to Australia’s community, economy and culture, sharing positive stories with a clear message that we are all “better together” - a message as important as ever at a time of heightened community tension.

29 September is National Police Remembrance Day, commemorated across Australia and the Pacific, honouring police officers who have died in the line of duty - a sad reminder of the risks police face every day to keep us safe.
On Friday I attended the service at the NSW Police Force Wall of Remembrance in the Domain, where 276 names are now inscribed on the wall.
I also attended an earlier and poignant local service at the NSW Police Memorial at Woronora Memorial Park Sutherland. ... See MoreSee Less
