The NSW Government will spend $2.5 million to fund dredging work in the Port Hacking’s main navigation channels, Cronulla MP Mark Speakman announced today.
The channels are used daily by the Cronulla to Bundeena ferry service and hundreds of recreational and commercial vessels.
“This safety issue has dragged on far too long. The local council has refused to make any contribution, unlike other councils along the NSW coast, which has been very frustrating,” Mr Speakman said.
“I’m grateful that the current NSW Transport Minister has listened to Lee Evans and me and stepped in to bypass the council and resolve the impasse.”
Mr Speakman said the dredging of the channel would make navigation on one of the Shire’s most popular boating areas “easier, safer and more enjoyable”.
Cronulla Ferries owner Carl Rogan is optimistic the dredging will make a big difference for boat owners and operators.
“This is fantastic news for all users of Port Hacking. From a safety point of view and ease of navigation the proposed dredging will assist all mariners,” Mr Rogan said.
Mr Speakman said the NSW Government is committed to providing access to key coastal locations, river entrances and local waterways through improved navigation for commercial and recreational vessels.
The last major dredging work in the Port Hacking channel was carried out in 2012. The new work is expected to be completed this year.

Penny wise but pound foolish.
The Minns Labor Government is scrapping Business Connect, a free advisory service which has helped 60,000 small businesses and returns $1.50 in benefits for every $1.00 invested.

Harnessing the enormous potential of AI will be a central component of a future NSW Liberals / Nationals Government delivering better government services and higher living standards for the people of NSW.
Yesterday James Griffin MP, Gurmesh Singh MP, The Hon. Jacqui Munro MLC and I joined a fantastic roundtable with industry heavyweights (including AI data centre builders, start-ups and financiers) telling us what they think needs to be done for NSW to maximise its AI potential and to so responsibly.
Many thanks to Freshwater Strategy for organising.

I'd like to see AI replace the RBTU workforce
This is beyond fantastic. Innovative, cutting-edge and genuinely progressive. AI isn’t the devil’s work — it should be the hard, serious work of government done well. This is the kind of vision NSW so desperately needs from government. Harnessing AI responsibly while driving better services and higher living standards is exactly the type of leadership the public expects in 2025 and beyond. Hats off to you Mark Speakman prepared to think big, bold and for the future.

I’d like to see the LNP grow some and drop Mark Speakman. The LNP have no chance of winning with him and we don’t need labor in for yet another term. Speakman is a weakman and must be dumped as leader immediately.
