Walking and bike riding will be safer and more convenient in Sydney’s south under updated plans for the Sutherland to Cronulla Active Transport Link (SCATL).
Finalisation of the route selection from Jackson Avenue Miranda to Gannons Road Caringbah will allow construction to begin in early 2023.
The NSW Government is delivering on its promise to build this important walking and cycling path which will connect key destinations with schools, shops, restaurants, entertainment precincts and transport hubs.
It’s important we get this critical piece of local infrastructure right, so I’m pleased Transport for NSW will now look at different options for the western component.
Following community feedback Transport for NSW had decided not to proceed with the route option along Oak Road and Flora Street in Kirrawee.
Transport for NSW is now investigating an alternative route that runs along Bath Road, Avery Avenue and other suburban streets and reserves south of the rail corridor.
Routes through Miranda between Sylvania Road and Jackson Avenue will also be investigated to ensure the project delivers for the entire community.
Transport for NSW expects to have planning approval for Jackson Ave to Gannons Road route shortly. It will undertake a full assessment of the western component of Stage 2 of the link, consult with the community and seek planning approval towards the end of this year.
Funding has now been approved, for the 2022-23 NSW budget, for planning and construction of the remainder of the SCATL from Gannons Road to Cronulla.

Our war memorials are sacred places — built by communities, cared for by volunteers and cherished by generations.
If someone desecrates them, they should be held accountable, but we’ve seen an increase in this sort of vandalism.
When Parliament resumes, the NSW Liberals and Nationals will introduce legislation to toughen penalties.
Under the Opposition’s Bill:
✅The maximum summary penalty (ie without the need for an expensive jury trial) for damaging a war memorial will increase to $22,000 or two years imprisonment, or both (from just $4,400 and no jail option at the moment)
✅The maximum penalty for offensive or indecent conduct near a memorial will also rise to $22,000
✅Offenders will be required to pay for repairs unless there are special circumstances, so that custodians like local Councils, RSL sub-branches and not-for-profit organisations don’t have to foot the bill. ... See MoreSee Less

“They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.“
I attended moving Anzac Dawn Services at Martin Place and Cronulla today (and was represented at Caringbah and Miranda).
Anzac Day isn’t about celebrating generals or wars or territorial ambitions - above all, it’s about honouring the generations of ordinary men and women who’ve served, or are serving, their country through our defence forces, including over 100,000 Australians who’ve laid down their lives doing so - and being so grateful for the freedoms we enjoy as a result. ...

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”
The 2025 Harbour Sunset Tribute on Anzac Eve marked the 110th anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign and 80 years this year since the end of World War II - a moving tribute to all who have lost their lives in service for our country, those who have served and those who are currently serving.
As I placed my wreath, I also thought of the thousands of Australians who would sailed from Sydney Harbour to serve our nation, many of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. ... See MoreSee Less

Cost shouldn’t be a barrier to protecting yourself and your loved ones from influenza.
Under the Minns Labor Government it is.
The NSW Liberals and Nationals are urging the Minns Labor Government to bring back free flu vaccines for all NSW people amid warnings of a monster flu season.
Our former Government provided free flu vaccinations in 2022, a program cut by the Minns Labor Government.
Last year’s flu season was the worst on record.
The Government needs to step up and ensure every NSW resident can access a free flu, which is what we’d do.
It’s false economy not to do so. In a cost-of-living crisis, providing free flu vaccines will result in fewer hospital visits, less pressure on emergency departments, fewer sick days and more lives saved. ... See MoreSee Less

I am deeply saddened, along with millions of Australians and with people across the world, by the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis.
Pope Francis was a beacon of humility, compassion and unwavering faith. His life was devoted to serving others, offering hope to the marginalised, and reminding the world of the power of mercy, forgiveness and love.
As the first Pope from the Jesuit order and the first from the Americas, he brought fresh leadership to the Church and reached people far beyond its walls. His example of simplicity and service will continue to inspire generations to come.
At this time of mourning, I offer my condolences to Australians of Catholic faith and all those who feel his loss so deeply. We give thanks for his extraordinary life of service and pray that he now rests in the eternal peace of Christ. ... See MoreSee Less
