(Community Recognition Statement, 21 March 2024, Legislative Assembly, NSW Parliament)

On behalf of the Sydney Electorate I thank Lesley Bentley from the Pyrmont Public Transport Forum for her determination to improve the transport options for people who live, work, and visit Pyrmont. Lesley is a strong advocate for public transport and has channelled the community frustration at lack of options into an effective and organised campaign, which has included activating the community, facilitating forums, and meeting directly with Government Minister, senior transport officials, and the City of Sydney. Pyrmont's public transport options will improve, and when it does it will be thanks to Lesley's Leadership.
