Barren Sutherland Shire streets will benefit from over 2800 trees being planted by Sutherland Shire Council with a $620,000+ grant from the NSW government announced today.
It’s part of the Five Million Trees for Greater Sydney initiative – planting 5 million trees in Sydney by 2030 to increase Sydney’s tree canopy from 16% to 40%.
More tree canopy means more shade, cooler suburbs, more habitats for wildlife, lower carbon emissions, prettier suburbs and even higher property values.
Since April 2018, almost 100,000 trees have been planted across Greater Sydney under the Five Million Trees initiative.
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

Bishop Mar Marie Emmanuel God bless him and get well soon.
Very sad times for our community.
As more details emerge about the heroism of first responders and bystanders and about the victims of the Bondi Junction atrocity, today was a chance for the community to come together to express its grief and solidarity.
