As we approach its second anniversary , the Minns Labor Government is getting on with the job of building a better community for all of us in Sydney ’ s booming North West . From investing in record cost-of-living relief , building the Rouse Hill Hospital and rebuilding public education , Labor is addressing the needs of our growing community .

Cost of living relief
We recognise that families in the North West are doing it tough . That ’ s why we ’ ve invested in a range of measures to put money back in your pocket , including :
- A $ 60 weekly toll cap , which has saved Riverstone motorists over $ 3 million ;
- Record increases to the Family , Seniors and Low-Income Household Energy Rebates ; and
|
- $ 500 long day care fee relief to reduce the cost of long day care for three year olds .
There ’ s more to do , but when I speak to residents in our community they tell me that these measures have been of immense help in taking the pressure off . Building Rouse Hill Hospital The Minns Labor Government is delivering the 300 bed Rouse Hill Hospital , with construction starting in 2026 . The Former Liberal Government promised but never delivered this facility , failing to even plan for an emergency ward . When all is said and done , it took the Liberals twelve years to deliver an empty field , but it ’ s taken the Minns Labor Government two years to design , fund and plan to start building the facility . Rebuilding public education The Minns Labor Government are

rebuilding public education in the North West . Since we came to Government , we ’ ve started works on Tallawong Public School and Nirimba Fields Public School , secured a site for the new Tallawong- Schofields High School and funded upgrades to The Ponds High School , Riverbank Public School and Schofields High School . We ’ ve also seen a 40 % reduction of teacher vacancies statewide , meaning more face-to-face teaching time with students .
I want to thank the community , who have backed me in and quantified my advocacy with countless submissions and inquiries . If it weren ’ t for this , many of these local achievements wouldn ’ t have been possible . There ’ s more to do , but we ’ ve made great progress and I ’ ll continue building a better community for all of us .
