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

I pay tribute to the outstanding community contribution of Annie Crabb from Millers Point. Annie is the President and a longstanding member of the Millers Point Community Action Group [MPCRAG]. Annie is a strong and passionate advocate for Millers Point and protecting heritage and the harbour for future generations. Together with other MPCRAG members and her neighbours, she ran a strong campaign 'Don't Block the Rocks' against overdevelopment at Central Barangaroo under Modification 9 that helped get the proposed waterfront tower withdrawn. She engaged with a range of organisations and the wider community to ensure they understood complex planning documents and encouraged them to stand up and defend the public good. Annie has been an active and engaged member of her community since moving to Millers Point, bringing state and local government together with residents to find solutions to local issues and getting to know neighbours to help build a strong sense of community. Every community needs an Annie and on behalf of the Sydney electorate, I thank her for her service.
