Hi Allegra,
Being an effective local representative is very important to me. My team and I are continuing to work hard to respond to your feedback and requests, as well as working with local community groups, organisations and businesses.
In August it was great to:
- Speak to more than 200 members of our community as part of the Wentworth Housing Forums. See the recording here.
- Host leadership forums for Wentworth’s primary and senior schools, including students from 18 local schools.
- Spend time with Wentworth businesses and community groups, including several innovative businesses that have received federal grants.
- Be out and about in Wentworth for 3 Pop-up Politics events and talk to the community about the issues that are important to them. See future dates here.
- Welcome new citizens to our local area at two Citizenship Ceremonies, and celebrate Wentworth’s winners at the NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards.
Read on for more community updates and to find out about upcoming events.
