Support a Permanent Crane at Balmain Shipyards

Please sign our petition to the Minister for Transport, supporting the installation of a fixed crane at the Balmain Shipyards.



Our community deserves streets that are peaceful and safe to access. Unfortunately, residents of Waterview Street, Balmain have faced significant disruption, and ongoing safety concerns from large cranes repeatedly using this narrow street for access to the Balmain Shipyards.

 

Residents are given little to no warning before large cranes are sent down their narrow street. These cranes can restrict resident access to their homes, and they raise serious concerns for the safety of pedestrians, and the potential risk of damage to parked vehicles.

 

The NSW Government needs to invest in a permanent crane for Balmain Shipyards to avoid these ongoing safety and access concerns. Please sign our petition calling on the Minister to prioritise the installation of a permanent crane at Balmain Shipyards.

 

We call on the Minister for Transport to: 

  • Commit to installing a permanent crane at Balmain Shipyard as a matter of priority. 
  • In the interim, provide clear notice and mitigation plans for any future disruptions cause by cranes accessing the shipyard via Waterview Street. 

 

Please sign our petition to support a safe solution for our community.
