The NSW Government is embarking on major consultation to help understand the issues facing veterans and their families today with the opening of an online survey.

Member for Manly James Griffin said consultation will help shape the first NSW Veterans Strategy.

“The veterans’ community now has the chance to complete a survey or attend one of the forums being held across the State to share their views and highlight the issues they face to best determine the appropriate support they require,” Mr. Griffin said.

Member for Manly James Griffin has announced the formation of the Manly Tourism & Economic Recovery Taskforce to provide strategic and practical advice to lead Manly through the economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr Griffin said the Taskforce will focus on reviving our local economy, harnessing the innovative spirit shown throughout the pandemic to build a stronger, more resilient Manly community.

“Over recent months our local tourism trade has been decimated, our hospitality workforce retrenched, and our professional and white-collar workers under significant financial pressure facing job insecurity,” Mr Griffin said.

Member for Manly James Griffin has today announced a new reduced school speed zone of 30 km/h will be implemented in Manly to provide a safer environment for local residents to walk, cycle and commute.

“As COVID-19 restrictions ease, we are seeing a higher volume of people walking, cycling and exercising in the area,” Mr Griffin said.

“To support the increase in activity and improve safety, the existing 50 km/h and 40 km/h speed limits will be reduced as Transport for NSW works to transform Sydney’s streets through active transport measures.”
