Thanks so much for covering this Jules. It’s nice to have a good news story about trees and my inbox is absolutely flooded this afternoon with people really happy about this. Congratulations to Kate for all of her hard work over many years, but it was a bit tricky!

Local MP, Jayne Stinson says the planned development features a number of elements:
“It’s all centred around a market square which is focused on local food and wine, artisan produce – also there is going to be this thing called an urban farm which is actually an elevated green space and a school that goes with it, up to 250 students will be able to come and study who are interested in the food and wine sector.”

$2 MILLION KESMOND RESERVE UPGRADE
WATCH MANREET’S STORY HERE: https://fb.watch/bKvETl2Fm3/
Energetic five year old Manreet loves playing at Kesmond Reserve with her Mum Randeep. They're among the local families to benefit from a $2 million upgrade to this wonderful community space.
At the last election I pledged to upgrade Kesmond Reserve - and I'm delighted it's now finally happening! I lobbied the Premier Steven Marshall for this upgrade in 2018 but he refused. I’m glad someone in the Department now sees the merit of the plan.
The upgrade includes a fitness loop, multi-sport courts, nature play area, new community building, shelters, cricket and soccer nets and landscaping.

What people have been raising with me are a number of different concerns. On one hand I’ve got people saying this project has taken ages, it’s been years and years, it was initially a project of the former Labor Government, so it’s been dragging on and they want to see it happy, and we do need upgraded cycling infrastructure and I’m supportive of that; but other people in Forestville, and I’m a Forestville resident myself – I live right near where this thing’s being built
