Garden competition comes to Hunters Hill

Hunters Hill has is proud of our long-standing title as Australia’s oldest garden suburb and of the horticultural history surrounding many beautiful heritage homes within the municipality.

Hunters Hill could not enjoy this unique character without our passionate community, who generously dedicate much of their time to preserving the beauty of their own gardens as well as sustaining our local environment.

In celebration of our role as Australia’s oldest garden suburb, Council is partnering with the local Rotary Club to bring back the too-long-absent Hunters Hill Spring Garden Competition.

Get planting and preparing your garden in time for this special event to be held in Spring 2023. There will be five major categories including:

- Overall best garden

- Best balcony/courtyard garden

- Best native garden

- Best streetscape garden

- Best maintained public space

The competition is designed to recognise the outstanding efforts of our residents in nurturing their own gardens but also our native habitats, streetscapes and public places. The funds raised by this competition will also contribute to the maintenance of the historic Hillman Orchard, located beside Vienna Cottage in Alexandra Street, Hunters Hill. So, keep an eye out for registrations opening in July to help celebrate your contribution to the enhancement of our environment.

For more information, visit www.huntershill.nsw.gov.au/garden.

Community meetings

As part of our ongoing community engagement, our Council will be holding a public meeting at Hunters Hill Town Hall on Wednesday, 15 March from 7pm, about the proposed review of the Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and Developmental Control Plan (DCP).

Please take the opportunity to come along and understand the process Council is undertaking to update these important documents. Registrations can be accessed via: www.huntershill.nsw.gov.au/participate.

Public attendance is also welcomed at Council meetings, the next of which is on Monday, 27 March at 6pm, in the Council Chambers at Town Hall. Meetings are also live streamed on our YouTube channel, with recordings available for viewing following the meeting. See our website for details: www.huntershill.nsw.gov.au/council-meetings.

In late January I sponsored a fantastic group of performers in the Lane Cove Plaza celebrating the Luna New Year. This amazing event with assistance from Andy Yin from “Andy One on One Podcast” put together an amazing performance celebrating Chinese culture in Australia. NSW has one of the largest celebrations of the Luna New Year outside of Asia and it’s a privilege to have sponsored this celebration. Thank you all those who attended and watched on the day so amazing

As school has kicked back into gear families especially young families experience plenty of financial challenges.

The Premier’s back to school vouchers assists tens of thousands of families with these yearly expenses for their children’s education.

If there is anything you may have forgotten to purchase, or your children have suddenly grown a couple of inches make the most of these vouchers.

On March 25th NSW State Election will take place. If you find you will not be within the reach of an election booth on the day, there is the opportunity for yourself to vote via post.

Postal Vote applications have been mailed to every household within Lane Cove.

Australia’s soaring cost of living was a touchpoint throughout the year’s first parliamentary fortnight. In week one the Reserve Bank raised interest rates another 0.25 points, and during week two Reserve Bank Governor Phillip Lowe told Senate Estimates, borrowers should expect further rises this year.

With over half the mortgage holders in the electorate of North Sydney already under financial stress, this stress is set to grow. At the same time, the one-in-two people who rent in our community are under rental stress. Properties are hard to come by.

A constituent recently called my office in tears because she has been knocked back on more than 50 apartment rental applications. She wanted me to know how challenging the rental market is right now for everyday Australians.

On the floor of parliament, I urged all levels of government, Housing Australia, registered community housing providers and the private sector to work together to solve this complex problem because a house is more than a house, it is a home and a home is fundamental to our wellbeing.

Recognising End Youth Suicide Week, I called on the government to take a more nuanced approach to caring for the mental health of young Australians.

ABS data shows in the past year, an unprecedented two out of five young Australians has experienced a mental health disorder. The government has cut by half the number of psychology appointments young people can access under Medicare. It was the wrong decision and it should be reversed.

February has not been without joy. I felt palpable relief when the government announced it had finally acted to give permanency to refugees on Temporary Protection Visas and Save Haven Visas. My mind turned to the hundreds of people I’ve worked with over the years waking up to the wonderful news that they can finally begin the rest of their lives.

Another citizenship win for our office this week involved the curious case of Matthew Niall, whose citizenship was resumed after we petitioned the Immigration Minister on his behalf. Unbeknown to Matthew, he lost his citizenship years earlier through a quirk of law. His family is over the moon at the news. We are too.
