Schools, sports clubs, surf life saving clubs and community organisations are the lifeblood of our community. We need the best facilities, infrastructure and services possible to keep us learning, healthy and connected.
Right now, demand outstrips capacity of existing sporting fields and facilities.
The recent closure of the synthetic track at Narrabeen Athletics Track means athletes are having to travel across Sydney to train. It is unacceptable.
I’ll work to:
- Meet the community need for sporting facilities, including expediting repairs or replacement of the synthetic track at Narrabeen, so it can reopen.
- Invest in our local public school facilities, creating the best possible environment for our children and young people to learn and thrive and deliver Narrabeen Sports High upgrades.
- Accept the Federal government offer to match fund 2.5% to ensure schools get their allocated school resourcing standard.
- Reduce the time teachers spend on administration, in line with recommendations from the Gallop Inquiry.
- Better fund our community groups so they can deliver essential services to our community.
