I'm Kobi Shetty, your local MP for Balmain  

I’m proud to represent the Balmain community in the NSW Parliament. 

As a long-time Lilyfield local and mum of three, I understand the pressures facing families across the Inner West. Before being elected to Parliament in 2023, I served as an Inner West Councillor and worked as a financial fraud prevention specialist.

In Parliament, I’m focused on delivering affordable homes, better public transport, real action on climate change, and well-planned, liveable neighbourhoods.

I’m working with our community to deliver practical outcomes that make everyday life better, from securing affordable key worker housing in Annandale to restoring the Balmain West Ferry, winning a commitment to reopen the Glebe Island Bridge, and returning Wentworth Park to our community.

Together, we can build a fairer, more sustainable future for everyone. 

My portfolio responsibilities are:

  • Anti-corruption and ICAC 
  • Democracy
  • Sustainable Cities and Active Transport

The Balmain Electorate includes the suburbs of Annandale, Balmain, Balmain East, Birchgrove, Camperdown, Forest Lodge, Glebe, Leichhardt, Lilyfield, Pyrmont, Rozelle and Ultimo.
