Schools, sports clubs, surf lifesaving clubs and community organisations are the lifeblood of our community. We need the best possible facilities, infrastructure and services to keep us learning, healthy and connected. 

Right now, demand outstrips capacity of existing sporting fields and facilities, but there have already been a number of successes, including:

• Funding for the replacement of the closed synthetic track at Narrabeen Athletics Track announced in the 2025/6 NSW Budget
• Funding for a Creative and Performing Arts Centre at Narrabeen Sports High School
• Upgrades at other local schools
• Grants for local Surf Life Saving Clubs at Narrabeen and Bilgola
• Increased funding to ensure schools get their allocated school resourcing standard.

  I will continue to 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 environment for our children and young people to learn and thrive, and deliver Narrabeen Sports High upgrades. 
• 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.
