Have Your Say on High Rise in Stanhope Gardens
Many residents have contacted me regarding a State Planning proposal that would see part of Stanhope Gardens and Glenwood rezoned for high-rise and mid-rise apartments.
NSW Premier Chris Minns has made it clear that our community must stop taking all the growth.
I decided to run for Parliament because 12 years of Liberal Government neglect saw an explosion of housing in our area without the schools, roads, hospitals and other infrastructure to support this growth.
I have met with the Premier, Deputy Premier and Minister for Planning to express the concerns of our community.
We need to build more homes in NSW, but our community have done our bit and taken our fair share.
Please sign my petition to show your support.
