The NSW Government is working with Northern Beaches Council to find the best solution, backed by the local community, to revitalise the former Manly Sea Life Sanctuary Aquarium.

Member for Manly James Griffin said the prominent aquarium site, owned by Transport for NSW, has already had a lot of interest including proposals that would develop it into a museum, restaurant or bar.

RSLs and schools on the Northern Beaches are amongst a range of community organisations eligible to apply for NSW Government funding to deliver projects that improve veteran wellbeing and celebrate their important contributions to society.

Parliamentary Secretary for Veterans and Member for Manly James Griffin said the Anzac Community Grants Program provides organisations up to $2,000 to commence, enhance or complete a local community project as part of a commemorative and educational program.

Tradies across the Northern Beaches will now have greater protections to ensure they are paid on time and in full following the introduction of new laws by the NSW Liberals.

Member for Manly, Mr James Griffin, said changes to Security of Payments Act will deliver faster payouts for contractors and subcontractors and quicker and fairer dispute resolution.

“These reforms will raise the level of protection for local tradies and subbies so they know they’ll be paid the money they are owed on time,” Mr Griffin said.
