In June last year, I was joined by the Minister for Justice Michael Keenan at Cabarita Park to announce proposed funding to help combat criminal and anti-social behaviour in the precinct.

I’m delighted to announce that the funding has now been finalised and Canada Bay Council will soon be able to begin rolling out the project.

The Friends of Cabarita Park and Wharf tirelessly engage with their local representatives to maintain this great community asset and I thank them again for their work.

]]> Yesterday the Federal Government announced that councils in Reid will receive over $4.8 million under the Roads to Recovery programme for local road construction and street repairs to ensure roads are safe and to create better access across our community.

The breakdown of funding per council is as follows:
Auburn City Council $1,700,350
City of Canada Bay Council $1,690,159
Strathfield Municipal Council $765,397
Burwood Council $706,616

The Roads to Recovery programme enables councils in prioritising roads funding to invest in the infrastructure which keeps our drivers safe whilst strengthening economic growth.

As of tomorrow, Canada Bay council will be the only Local Government Authority in Reid to charge residents fees for parking outside of their own homes.

There are many advantages to Parking Permit Schemes, such as improving the opportunity for residents and their visitors to park near their homes and to assist local businesses to operate effectively. However, this should not come at a cost.

Canada Bay council issued more parking tickets than any other council in Sydney, netting in an extra $2.17 million in revenue from fines in the five years to 2012-13. Considering this massive windfall, there appear to be no grounds for introducing a paid parking scheme, and I again urge Canada Bay council to listen to the community and abolish these unnecessary and unfair charges.
