More children in the Cronulla will have access to a quality early childhood education, with the NSW Government today announcing $42,400 to invest in attendance-encouraging initiatives in the Cronulla and Miranda electorates.
Cronulla MP Mark Speakman said the funding – part of the NSW Government’s Community Grants program – aims to increase the number of Aboriginal children and children from disadvantaged backgrounds attending a preschool program.
The following services in the Cronulla electorate have been successful in their Community Grants application:
| Service Name | Amount Awarded (Ex. GST) | Activity |
| Kurnell Pre-School Kindergarten | $6,000.00 | Staff development, purchase cultural resources |
| Jacaranda Preschool | $10,000.00 | Staff development – embedding Aboriginal perspectives |
For more information, visit the Department of Education website.

- The 18th Coloured Digger March and Service, honouring Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and South Sea Islander service men and women.
- The lunchtime commemorative service at the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park.

Out and about in Eurobodalla Shire yesterday with Andrew Constance including:
✅ Speaking at a community meeting with 250+ citizens and accepting a 18,000 signature petition to take to Parliament to keep open the Batemans Bay emergency department, which the Minns Labor Government intends to close
✅ Checking (non-)progress of the new Eurobodalla Hospital announced in 2020 - still an empty paddock
✅ Checking (non-)progress on the Moruya bypass - no commitment to any timetable and no update since the 2022 consultation report under the previous government (see short video in comments below). ... See MoreSee Less
