The Sutherland Shire community is being invited to have a say on plans to improve pedestrian safety and reduce travel time for motorists around the intersection of Kingsway and Taren Point Road at Caringbah.
The proposal is expected to reduce the number of rear end crashes at the busy intersection, and improve efficiency by making more lanes available, especially during the busy weekday peaks and for northbound traffic on weekends during peak times.
The proposed changes include restricting parking in the morning and afternoon peak hours, from 6am to 10am and 3pm and 7pm on weekdays. As part of these changes, six parking spaces would also be removed on Kingsway between Taren Point Road and Chamberlain Avenue to help deliver consistent driving conditions for motorists.
The parking changes are not expected to have a major impact on local residential parking as many residents in the area have off-street parking.
Residents and the local community are invited to get in touch with any questions or concerns. All feedback will be considered and Roads and Maritime will continue to keep the community informed as the proposal progresses.
The community can provide feedback to the project team by Friday 3 May 2019 via email at NetworkSydney.south@rms.nsw.gov.au, by phone on 0429 127 648 or in writing to PO Box 973 Parramatta NSW 2124.

I loved visiting the Sydney Royal Easter Show again, this time with colleagues Natalie Ward (Deputy Liberal Leader), Justin Clancy MP (Albury), Wendy Tuckerman MP (Goulburn) and Robert Dwyer - State MP for Port Macquarie (Port Macquarie).
The Show is a great showcase for our primary producers - and the opportunity for countless connections between city and country. ... See MoreSee Less

It’s so important that people living with an eating disorder, who don’t require hospitalisation, have access to specialist support services in a residential setting.
And that they have the best chance of living a full, rich and healthy life.
Such a facility, the first of its kind in NSW, now exists in Charlestown.
Named “Baiyangbaiyaang”, the $13.5 million centre will provide extended residential inpatient admissions for people with eating disorders aged 16+ from across the state, increasing the options for those living in rural and remote areas.
Planned and commissioned by the former Liberals and Nationals Government in 2022, with funding through the Commonwealth, the facility will provide wrap around services to people with severe eating disorders.
The 12-bed centre will provide whole-of-family therapy, which is vital to the ongoing treatment and recovery of those experiencing an eating disorder. ... See MoreSee Less

What a fantastic initiative.
One year ago today, six innocent victims lost their lives in the Bondi Junction tragedy.
Six innocent victims who left behind partners, parents, children and other members of their families.
Six families united in grief.
Many, many lives changed forever.
We also reiterate our gratitude today for the first responders like Inspector Amy Scott whose bravery and quick thinking saved many lives.
Today is a day of reflection.
Today is a day of standing with community and the family members.
Today is also a day to reiterate our the determination to stop these sorts of tragedies happening and to end senseless violence in our community. ... See MoreSee Less

Replace the Royals? King Charles III, his heir apparent Prince William and their Governors and Governor-General in the no treaties with prior occupants criminal enterprise they call “Australia”, have a choice between trying their luck at defending charges of genocide under the Rome Statute at the International Criminal Court (ICC), from compelling evidence assembled by UN Rapporteurs and “Closing the Gap” monitoring since the Court was established in 2002, or replacing the Royals and their agents under UN Resolution 1514 on decolonisation with prior occupant Elders presiding over Women’s, Men’s and Youth chambers in parliaments. Which would you choose?

Anderson Cook, Year 3 at Cronulla South Public School, has written and published his first book, which I recognised in Parliament recently.
Andy loves reading books. When he told his family he wanted to write a book one day, his dad Aaron asked him “why wait?”.
Andy came up with the idea for the book called “The Monkey Who Didn’t Like Bananas” in the summer school holidays. In between holiday fun, Anderson put his head down for about an hour a day. After about two weeks he’d completed the story of Jack the monkey, who was raised on the island of bananas.
Having finished the story, Andy turned to generative AI to come up with the perfect images to go with his words and with help from his parents and publishing software he completed with what is an impressive looking children’s book.
Andy hopes to sell copies of his book at the school’s fete to raise money for charity. He already has some ideas for a sequel! ... See MoreSee Less
