Media Release Dominic Perrottet Treasurer Rob Stokes Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Andrew Constance Minister for Transport and Roads MEDIA RELEASE Friday, 31 July 2020 PYRMONT PERFECTLY POISED FOR VIBRANT FUTURE A new 20-year vision for Pyrmont will shape the waterfront peninsula as an innovative, connected and creative around-the-clock destination, providing much-needed jobs, investment and economic growth, part of the NSW Government’s COVID Recovery Plan. Up to 23,000 new jobs and 800,000 square metres of new commercial and office space are forecast in a new draft plan released today, supported by better transport connectivity to grow a mix of hi-tech, tourism, media and information industries. Launching the plan, Treasurer Dominic Perrottet and Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes said the NSW Government’s draft Pyrmont Peninsula Place Strategy and Economic Development Strategy would help map the area’s future. The strategy considers big moves for transformation such as a potential metro station at Pyrmont as part of the Sydney Metro West project, a new indoor sports and entertainment venue like our own Madison Square Garden, more and better public spaces (including the return of Wentworth Park as local parkland) and the revitalisation of key sites to attract commercial investment. “Great cities evolve, grow and continue to improve all the time, and our vision is to ensure Pyrmont leads Sydney as a home for innovation, employment and entertainment as well as retaining its unique character,” Mr Perrottet said. Mr Stokes added that Pyrmont has always been an extension of the CBD as a bustling hub for a variety of industries, and the draft strategy outlines the latest incarnation in the peninsula’s renewal. “Pyrmont has always been a hub for cutting edge industry. In recent decades it was transformed into commercial and entertainment precinct with accessible pedestrian walkways and the Light Rail,” Mr Stokes said. “This new vision builds upon that. As well as a jobs hub of the future, we want the peninsula to be a premier cultural and entertainment destination which is connected to museums, theatres, bars and cafes, the Sydney Fish Market, the ICC, Harbourside and The Star. “It has the potential to be a 24/7 destination for locals and visitors alike within walking distance from the city. Pyrmont is more than a local village – it is a vital part of our global city.” Minister for Transport Andrew Constance said world-class public transport was a vital part of the innovative plan. “This vision would cement Pyrmont as one of the key employment hubs in Sydney and the entire NSW Government has come together to ensure it will have the infrastructure it needs,” he said “Connecting Pyrmont with Western Sydney would encourage jobs, investment and economic growth. My job is to ensure the area is easily accessible and has the right transport options in place. “We’re still working through the potential for a Metro station in Pyrmont, but it has progressed to the next stage of the process.” Mr Stokes said the revitalisation will focus on key sites for renewal, including the existing Sydney Fish Market site at Blackwattle Bay, The Star site at Darling Island, development of Harbourside Shopping Centre, and the UTS Haymarket campus. “These sites have been identified for revitalisation over the next 20 years and we are keen to ensure that parks, public spaces and the unique character of Pyrmont is protected,” he said. “Delivering public benefit is also vitally important which is why part of our vision is to return Wentworth Park to the people as beautiful, high-quality green open space.” The Pyrmont Peninsula Place Strategy and Economic Development Strategy are on public exhibition for community feedback until 13 September 2020.

[Notices of motions given.] Private Members' Statements TRIBUTE TO SUPERINTENDENT JULIAN GRIFFITHS Ms ELENI PETINOS (Miranda) (12:13): I rise to discuss and farewell the outgoing commander from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command, Superintendent Julian Griffiths. Our local media has publicised that Superintendent Griffiths has been moved from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command into the St George Police Area Command. Those of us who have had the opportunity to work with the superintendent, and to know him well, are going to miss him dearly. Media reports have not captured that Superintendent Griffiths is a capable and competent commander who has always been dedicated to serving the local community. He has done that in his capacity as a superintendent of both the Sutherland Shire Local Area Command and the merged Sutherland Shire Police Area Command over the past six years. I was recently told a story about Superintendent Griffiths which highlights the depth of his care and the lengths that he has gone to for the community. It is about the recent fires in the western part of the shire, in Menai, Alfords Point and Barden Ridge.

Rhino Social, recently named a finalist in the ‘Outstanding New Business’ category of the Local Business Awards, have been building quite the name for themselves amongst business circles. Based in the Nirimba Education Precinct in Quakers Hill, the team has been assisting businesses grow online for nearly 2 years now. One such business, a leading home builder in Castle Hill, who specialise in large scale renovations, have doubled their amount of leads, and that’s before ScoMo’s Reno Rebate. They say their secret weapon has come from the Rhino Social team helping them leverage social media. “We have been working with Rhino Social from Quakers Hill for a few months now, and identifying together what our customers want in terms of content has been vital.” Said Megan. Megan says that being involved closely with your agency partner, and choosing a marketing team is key. “We work quite closely with the team from Rhino Social, and being local they really understand our customers and the local market. We’ve had experiences with companies using facebook, or with an I.T survive, but grow through this time is a testament to the amazing background, but that is only a small team we have here at Rhino Social.” He continued.

  • 2003 New South Wales Election
    2003 New South Wales Election Antony Green * On 22 March 2003 the NSW Labor Government led by Premier Bob Carr became the first government in Australia to win three consecutive four-year terms. The election brought little change to the composition of the Houses or in the vote. This account analyses the election result in the light of the fortunes of both Government and Opposition in the previous four years. The New South Wales election on 22 March 2003 was the third in the State since introduction of fixed four-year terms. As with its two predecessors, the election produced a campaign that struggled to move out of first gear. With fixed terms having denied the media and political parties the adrenalin fix of early election speculation, a peculiar form of political ballet seems to have developed, where the Government denies it has begun campaigning, the Opposition insists the Government has, and the media avoid treating the contest as a real campaign for as long as possible. As in 1995 and 1999, the Parliament was adjourned at the end of the previous year to a notional sitting week in February, providing a safety net in case Parliament needed to be re-convened. Parliament was prorogued on 31 January, though the campaign could not formally begin until the fixed-term provisions dissolved the Legislative Assembly on 28 February. 1 Writs were issued on the same day producing a 23-day campaign, four days longer than the minimum allowed under legislation. Nevertheless, this was still shorter than the minimum period permitted in any other state, and 10 days short of the minimum for Commonwealth elections.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, Minister for Transport Andrew Constance and Minister for Western Sydney Stuart Ayres today inspected the site of the future Western Sydney Aerotropolis Station. “The Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport project will support 14,000 jobs, including 250 apprentices and inject billions of dollars to the NSW and Australian economies,” Ms Berejiklian said. “Where we are standing today will become a major new transport interchange, right in the heart of the future central business district for the Western Parkland City.” Federal Minister for Population, Cities and Urban Infrastructure Alan Tudge said construction would start this year on the around $11 billion mega-project that would deliver economic support and local jobs. “This city-shaping investment is being fast-tracked to help our economy recover from COVID- 19 and deliver a major stimulus right in the heart of Western Sydney,” Mr Tudge said.

  • Adequacy of Existing Residential Care Arrangements Available for Young
    YOUNG PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES SUPPORT SERVICES Discussion on Petition Signed by 10,000 or More Persons Mr ANDREW CONSTANCE (Bega—Minister for Finance and Services) [4.31 p.m.]: I acknowledge the representatives of the Brain Injury Association who are in the gallery today and thank the association for the enormous contribution it makes to raising awareness about brain injury in our community. In particular, I recognise the organisation that collected well over 10,000 signatures on this petition. I note that the shadow Minister, Barbara Perry, is in the Chamber this afternoon. The bottom line is that some issues are well and truly above and beyond politics. This is without doubt one of those issues. For too long both sides of politics have failed. They have failed to invest in the necessary pathways for people with acquired brain injury and failed to deal with the challenge presented by the interface between the disability and health sectors. We must recognise that many people who have brain injuries are faced with accommodation options that, unfortunately, will never be acceptable for their needs. It would not matter if it involved a nursing home or a rehabilitation bed in a hospital setting; the bottom line is that it is time for change. This has a profound impact on the daily lives and rehabilitation of those individuals who are forced to live in these types of accommodation. We have to have change. The reforms in the enabling legislation that is before the New South Wales Parliament to facilitate a transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme must be rolled out carefully, in particular, the health and disability provisions for those with a brain injury.

    • LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL NOTICE OF MOTION Dr Faruqi says- Mr PRESIDENT: I give notice that on the next sitting day I will move: 1. That this House notes that: (a) on 14 April, 2017 the Canadian Prime Minister, Mr Justin Trudeau introduced legislation which would legalise and regulate adult use of cannabis across the whole country, (b) more than one in five Americans now live in states that have legalised and regulated the adult use of cannabis, including California, Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington, (c) the Australian National University's 'Australian Election Study' found that less than a third of Australians support the use of cannabis being a criminal offence, (d) according to the 2013 National Drug Strategy Household Survey report, it is estimated that about 6.6 million (or 35 per cent) of people aged 14 or older had used cannabis in their lifetime and about 1.9 million (or 10.2 per cent) had used cannabis in the previous 12 months, (e) in New South Wales cannabis offences make up half of all drug offences, with over 26,000 criminal incidents of cannabis possession or use in 2016 alone, amounting to more possession incidents than for all other drugs combined, (f) this represents a massive waste of resources and unjust persecution of people using cannabis for recreational and/or therapeutic reasons, (g) licensing revenues from commercial quantities of cannabis can generate significant income for the state, which can then be reinvested in education and health programs, for example last year, the state of Colorado collected $135 1:\LC\House
