Thank you Macquarie for your trust and support

with Susan Templeman MP
The 2022 federal election is now behind us , and I would like to say a very heartfelt thank you to all those people who have trusted me to represent this community in Canberra as part of an Albanese Labor Government .
This result reflects years of consistent work of the team who support me to serve the community . It also reflects real failures by the Morrison Government , including to look after people on the NDIS and in aged care , to protect Medicare , and to take real action on climate change .
I have no doubt that bringing about the many changes the Macquarie community expects and deserves is going to take time and hard work , and I am keen to get started so we can see
change for the better in the next three years .
As people know , whether you voted for me or not , I take very seriously my responsibility to represent the interests of our community and advocating for people .
I have done it from opposition for years , and I will continue to do it in government .
To all those who helped me achieve this historic win , the first time Labor has held Macquarie for three terms , I want to say thank you . Whether you spoke to people about your experience with me , had my face on your fence , or handed out at the polls , every contribution and commitment was appreciated and valuable .
And to all those who listened : thank you .
I look forward to working with my fellow elected NSW and council representatives to do the best for the Hawkesbury .

$ 6 million upgrade for Clarendon station
I ’ m pleased to announce that Hawkesbury commuters will soon benefit from a modern and accessible train station as work begins on a $ 6 million upgrade at Clarendon station .
These upgrades will make it easier for residents to access public transport , particularly for people with a disability or limited mobility , parents and carers with prams and customers with luggage .
This upgrade will include two new accessible parking spaces on Racecourse Road , upgrades to footpaths and ramps and
new seating with widened platforms around the Boarding Assistance Zones .
In addition , there will be modifications to existing waiting areas , a new family accessible amenity and an upgraded ambulant amenity .
The station will also receive improved safety features including additional CCTV , lighting and upgraded wayfinding signage .
The station ’ s upgrade is part of the NSW Government ’ s Transport Access Program which has invested $ 2.2 billion in modernising and improving accessibility to public transport infrastructure .
The upgrade of the Clarendon station will be a great investment into the Hawkesbury Electorate and a win for the community .
Improvements to school zones in Hawkesbury
Hawkesbury has received $ 635,000 for vital work to improve safety in school zones as part of the $ 40.9 million School Zone Infrastructure Sub Program which was designed to help keep children in metropolitan NSW and in Hawkesbury even safer as they travel to and from school .
The Perrottet Government is committed to helping improve safety around our schools and the projects in Hawkesbury will create safer pedestrian connections for children , their parents and carers and the school community .
This funding is supporting the fast roll-out of several projects across schools in metropolitan NSW , including the Bligh Park , Kurrajong and Pitt Town Public Schools . Schools across our state which are included in the program will benefit from improvements targeted at keeping NSW students safe .
Safety uapgrades include raised pedestrian crossings , pedestrian refuges and kerb blisters and will help pedestrians , school children , cyclists and motorists share the roads safely .
It ’ s great to see this investment in our community and I am confident it will be a huge step towards making our school zones even safer .
