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.
3 December is the International Day of People with Disability.
I’m honoured to be an ambassador for
Rainbow Club Australia, one of our many fantastic organisations helping people with disability - in this case teaching young people to swim and water safety, instilling broader confidence and bringing joy. ... See MoreSee Less

Mark Speakman deserves to be in Opposition. I wrote to his Shadow Attorney General about illegal discrimination in the Department of Communities and Justice and his office's first response was that I didn't live in Henskens' electorate!
25 November was the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
In Cronulla, today was the annual Walk for Respectful Relationships from Don Lucas Reserve to Cronulla Beach, attended by a large crowd of local school students and community groups with the theme “Call out, Speak Out, Help Out”.
Congratulations and thanks to the organising committee and Woolooware High School.
If you need advice or help, call 1800 RESPECT 24/7 if it’s safe to do so.
