Member for Kiama Gareth Ward has used Parliament to move a Notice of Motion highlighting the need for Illawarra Labor MPs to use their collective political muscle to back region-building projects that shoulder Illawarra’s population growth and reduce congestion.

Member for Kiama Gareth Ward has slammed Premier Chris Minns’s ‘Look at me, look at me’ visit to the Illawarra, with no new funding, no new projects or no real engagement with the local community.

Not a single major promise, policy or commitment was announced following the Minns Labor Cabinet’s summer south coast vacation to the Illawarra at the weekend according to Kiama MP Gareth Ward.

The NSW Government has today announced a new location for NSW’s world class cycling event, L’Etape, which will be hosted in the rolling coastal region of Kiama in 2020, following four successful years in the Snowy Mountains.
