An Albanese Labor Government will invest in key sporting and recreational facilities at parks across the Hawkesbury.

An Albanese Labor Government would invest:

• $3 million upgrading Woodbury Reserve at Glossodia;
• $400,000 to triple the amount of funding available for Colonial reserve playground,
Bligh Park; and,
• $500,000 to expand the inclusive playground at Church Street Reserve, South
Windsor.

Quotes attributable to Richard Marles:
“Susan has been fighting for the people in of the Hawkesbury in Canberra."

“Be it the bushfires or the floods, or key local upgrades likes this, Susan knows how important these investments in the community are.”

Quotes attributable to Susan Templeman:
“With the cost of living going up and people spending so much time at home due to COVID, it’s never been more important to have quality, accessible parks close to home."

“A draft masterplan for the Woodbury Reserve has already been developed by Hawkesbury City Council, but a master plan with no funding doesn’t achieve anything."
