(Community Recognition Statement, 12 March 2024, Legislative Assembly, NSW Parliament)

I pay tribute to the wonderful Yasmina Bonnet of Millers Point who is a strong and dedicated advocate for her local neighbourhood and always working to make it a better place. She is a member of the Millers Point Community Resident Action Group and worked on the campaign to oppose overdevelopment at Central Barangaroo, convening meetings, talking to experts and disseminating information. Yasmina is well known for spearheading the campaign that secured Sydney Harbour's first swimming spot in over 50 years at Marrinawi Cove at Barangaroo. Marrinawi Cove is now more popular than ever and enjoyed by visitors from across the city and globe. She's continued to look for ways to improve access and amenity at this spot and identify other places where harbour pools might work to make sure that everyone can enjoy swimming in the sea. Yasmina is also a strong advocate for people with disability and has used her position as a community leader to build support for improved accessibility and support. On behalf of the Sydney electorate, I thank Yasmina for her energy and ongoing contributions.
