The long-abandoned Glebe Island Bridge is the missing link that would significantly improve walking and cycling options in our city - providing a much-needed connection between Rozelle and Pyrmont.

More than a thousand people have already signed our petition calling for the bridge to be reopened.  Now it's time for us to come together and show the NSW Government how much this link means to our community. 

Join us for a free BBQ picnic and community action to call on the NSW Government to reopen the Glebe Island Bridge. 

We’ll be gathering at Waterfront Park in Pyrmont, overlooking the bridge. We’ll also organise a bike bus and group walk from the peninsula for anyone who wants to travel together.

Our vision for the Glebe Island Bridge

Event Details

Date: Saturday, 21st February

Add your name and register to attend today. The event is free, but your RSVP will help us cater for the BBQ

Everyone deserves an affordable place to call home. Unfortunately, across Sydney, the housing affordability crisis continues to worsen, pushing young families and key workers like nurses and teachers out of our community. 

The NSW Labor Government committed to delivering 30% social and affordable housing on surplus government-owned land. It’s deeply disappointing to now see proposals for Blackwattle Bay, at the former fish market site, that would deliver just 7.5% affordable housing.

This once-in-a-generation redevelopment is an ideal opportunity to provide social, affordable and key worker housing in a well-connected area close to jobs, transport and services. Our community deserves a plan that supports diversity and delivers genuine public benefit.

Instead, the current proposal prioritises private development on public land, without delivering the level of affordable housing our community was promised or urgently needs. In the middle of a housing crisis, we cannot afford to miss opportunities like this.

We need more homes that people on low and moderate incomes can actually afford, including for key workers who keep our city running.

Please add your name to help keep the pressure on and ensure public land delivers public benefit.

Sign our petition for affordable and key worker housing at Blackwattle Bay today. 

Our community deserves sporting fields that are safe, accessible, and fit for everyone who uses Callan Park, from local sports clubs to families, dog walkers and older residents.

Right now, Inner West Council has lodged two Development Applications to replace natural turf with synthetic turf at the Balmain Road Sports Ground and Waterfront Drive Sports Ground in Callan Park. These proposals are now on public exhibition and submissions close on 9 February. 

As a parent of kids who play soccer locally, I know how important sport is for health and wellbeing, and how disappointing it is when games are impacted by the weather. Synthetic turf is often sold as a quick fix for overused fields, but in a place as important to our community as Callan Park, it raises real concerns. It creates heat islands, sheds plastic and chemicals into soil and waterways, limits how the fields can be used when games are not on, and locks Council into costly replacement cycles. 

There is a better way.

With best-practice drainage, turf upgrades and proper maintenance, natural grass fields can deliver the same amount of play time for sporting clubs while also supporting dog walking, informal sport, picnics and community use when games are not being played. The state government should be helping councils fund best-practice natural turf, not pushing them towards environmentally damaging synthetic surfaces. We do not have to choose between our love of sport and our care for the environment.

What you can do

Inner West Council's Planning Panel must consider community submissions before making a decision on these DA proposals.

Add your details below to receive our submission guide, which will provide you with clear, practical points to support natural turf fields at Callan Park, alongside the practical information on where to lodge your submission with Inner West Council before the 9th February deadline. 

Political decisions should be made in the interests of communities, not for lobbyists working on behalf of vested interests like property developers and the gambling industry.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) recommended significant lobbying reforms in 2021 to help address corruption risks and limit the influence of corporate lobbyists on political decision-makers.

Despite having more than two years to enact changes, the NSW Labor Government has not introduced laws to curb the unreasonable influence of lobbying in NSW. We've seen the impacts of this failure, with community-led planning decisions undermined following corporate lobbying on behalf of private developers.

Influence like this undermines democratic processes and brings into question the integrity of our political system. We need to reform lobbying laws to protect our democracy.

That’s why I’ve introduced the Greens bill to restrict the power of lobbyists in NSW Parliament and to implement the long-overdue ICAC recommendations. You can help keep the pressure on the NSW Labor Government to act by adding your name to the petition below. 

Sign our petition calling on the NSW Labor Government to clean up NSW politics by restricting the power of corporate lobbyists. 

Australia’s native forests are among the most biodiverse and ecologically significant systems on earth. They provide critical habitat for wildlife, support clean air and water, and store enormous amounts of carbon.  

Thanks to pressure from The Greens, environmental advocates, and determined campaigners - we've pushed the NSW Labor Government to deliver the promised Great Koala National Park. While this is a fantastic start, we need to secure a permanent end to destructive native forest logging across NSW. 

Ongoing logging operations are releasing millions of tonnes of carbon and driving species to the brink of extinction. We know what needs to happen to protect our living planet now and for generations to come. The NSW Government must act now to end native forest logging.  

Sign our petition calling on the NSW Labor Government to ban native forest logging:

Imagine an Inner West built for everyone. Where people can find an affordable place to call home, surrounded by world-class infrastructure and plenty of green space. Together, we can shape a future like this for all of us. 

The Inner West Council is in a unique position to help shape a more affordable, sustainable, thriving Inner West for all. Disappointingly, the plan currently being pushed by NSW Labor and the Inner West Labor Councillors will see more profits for big developers and won't fix the housing affordability crisis.  

As a community, we need to push for real solutions that put people and our environment at the heart of the Inner West.  

The Greens know that planning reforms and outsourcing to the private market won't solve the housing affordability crisis or deliver the world-class infrastructure that our community deserves. That's why we have a plan to:

• Control rents: We can cap rents in council-managed affordable and key worker housing at 30% of tenant income to keep essential workers - our teachers and nurses - in our neighbourhoods.
• Prioritise world-class infrastructure, quality services and green space: New housing must come with new infrastructure like green space, community and sports facilities, and safer walking and cycling paths. The inner West already has the least public open space per person in Sydney. With more development on the way, we need serious investment in public spaces and a clear timeline for delivery. 
• Ensure homes and communities are climate ready: The government's obsession with fossil fuels is making heating and cooling homes more costly than ever. We need a planning framework that protects urban tree canopy and ensures our community has access to solar, community batteries, and stronger minimum design standards to make it easier to keep our homes comfortable year-round, while lowering energy bills for everyone. 
• Make developers pay their fair share: Developers stand to make massive profits from new developments in the Inner West, yet the draft LEP only requires them to pay 2-5% towards affordable housing. Council must develop a scheme to capture developer contributions at a higher rate to fund affordable homes. 
• Protect artists, creatives, and local shops:  Innovative, socially-conscious, and community-connected small businesses, artists and creatives have shaped the vibrant, multucultural vibe we all love about the Inner West. The council needs to ensure they aren't priced out of the suburbs they helped to build by offering rent relief and other support if they experience a significant decline in turnover due to construction.

Our community deserves liveable neighbourhoods, with safe streets that make it easy to walk, ride a bike, or use public transport.

Disappointingly, suburbs neighbouring the White Bay Cruise Terminal could soon face more traffic and congestion, with a 500-space multi-story car park proposal now on the table.

This proposed development undermines the broader plans for the Bays West Precinct, which has been identified as a low-traffic area. The NSW State Government has plans to reduce private car use across the precinct, aiming for a target of just 5% private vehicle trips.

Encouraging more visitors to drive to the Cruise Terminal undermines the low-traffic approach for the broader Bays West Precinct. 

Please add your name to our petition, calling on the Minister for Transport to oppose the development of a 500-space multi-story car park at White Bay Cruise Terminal.  

Sign our petition to oppose the construction of a new multi-story car park at White Bay Cruise Terminal and help reduce traffic in this precinct. 

Heritage-listed Callan Park is the jewel of the Inner West, and it's incredibly important to our community. Many local residents have been actively campaigning to keep Callan Park in public hands for decades. 

Disappointingly, a Labor-led Upper House Inquiry on Greater Sydney Parklands has handed down 26 recommendations, including proposed amendments to the Callan Park (Special Provisions) Act which would make it easier to commercialise parts of Callan Park.

The most worrying recommendation is to remove provisions that limit development in Callan Park to not-for-profit purposes.

This is a slippery slope that could see vital open green space taken away from our community. With more development on the horizon in the Inner West, current and future residents need access to open green space now more than ever. 

The NSW Labor Government is yet to respond to the Inquiry recommendations. We have an opportunity now to make sure our community's voice is heard.

Please join us in calling on the NSW Premier to reject the recommendations to commercialise parts of Callan Park.
