Funding Support for our Coasts and Estuaries
Parliamentary Secretary for the Environment and Member for Manly James Griffin has today called on councils to apply for funding under the NSW Government's Coastal and Estuary Grants Program to assist with planning and managing our region’s coastline.
“Our coastline and estuaries are critical environments that support a huge variety of native flora and fauna, in addition to being popular places for recreation,” Mr Griffin said.
Boost for Domestic and Family Violence Services
Northern Beaches domestic and family violence services experiencing increased demand as a result of COVID-19 can now apply for a share of $9 million in Federal Government funding.
Member for Manly James Griffin said the COVID-19 Sexual, Domestic and Family Violence Grant program aimed to ensure more victim-survivors can access services at this crucial time.
“Many domestic violence services have moved quickly to innovate and adapt their supports during the pandemic – when women and children may have struggled to access help,” Mr Griffin said.

People on the Northern Beaches are being reminded that there are a number of free, confidential and easy to access mental health supports available in person, on the phone and online around the clock.
Member for Manly James Griffin said that mental health programs and services are available both for young people and the wider community, and encouraged anyone needing assistance to reach out now.
