James Griffin - Dear Residents

It has been a busy few months since the State Election. Thank you for re-electing me. I will continue to be a strong voice and advocate for our community and am focused on issues that impact our community including the cost of living, housing affordability, reliable energy and better bus services.

There is a busy agenda ahead as your Member of State Parliament, and I am looking forward to building on the progress already made over the past few years. This includes:

• Upgrading Balgowlah Boys

• Bringing the Opal cap on to the Fast Ferry

• Supporting a dynamic local economy from Manly to Dee Why

• Demolishing the former Aquarium and creating open space on our Harbour

• Protecting our local environment, including the rehabilitation of Manly Lagoon.

I will continue working with local schools, community groups and volunteer organisations to ensure that our part of NSW continues to be the best place to live, work and raise a family.

Manly Hospice now open Australia’s first hospice and palliative care facility for young adults is now open on the former Manly Hospital site. I have received lovely feedback from parents and carers who have stayed at the facility. There is no cost to the families who receive care and support at the AYAH, and they come from right across the state.

If you would like to discuss opportunities to support the AYAH through donations, volunteering, sponsorship and fundraising, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.

Support the upcoming Night At The Barracks concert series I continue to champion initiatives that will build a more dynamic and long-

term sustainable local economy - an economy that encourages small business, enterprise, the arts and live music.

Night At The Barracks is a concert event series at North Head produced by a local business. I encourage you to visit the www.nightatthebarracks.com.au and enjoy a great showcase of talent in a unique setting in our local area.

Thank you

To be re-elected to the Parliament of New South Wales and have the privilege of working for you, your family and friends is a great honour. If there is anything I can do to support you, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Yours sincerely

James Griffin MP Member for Manly Shadow Minister for Energy and Climate Change Shadow Minister for Digital Government
