(Community Recognition Statement, 13 March 2024, Legislative Assembly, NSW Parliament)

I pay tribute to the outstanding community contribution of Anne McCormick OAM. Anne has been involved in the community since the 1970s and is a founding director of Horden House Rare Books. Anne is a subject matter expert in Australian history, art and culture. Anne is also a committee member of the Potts Point Preservation Group, a group dedicated to protecting and celebrating Potts Point and Elizabeth Bay's unique and exceptional architectural heritage, its cultural and social history, as well as its demographics, location and amenities. Through this work, Anne has become a voice for residents and works tirelessly to protect the history and heritage of this unique area. Anne continues to fight to preserve the diversity and affordability of Potts Point and Elizabeth Bay while raising the profile of the area as a tourist destination. Anne also assists local charities and has a strong commitment to small business development. Anne has dedicated her life to celebrating Australia's history and preserving art, culture and architecture for future generations to enjoy. Every community needs an Anne and on behalf of the Sydney electorate, I thank her for her service.
