Speaker, I rise to acknowledge Kim Wagstaff and the Oatley Flora and Fauna Conservation Society for their continued advocacy and commitment to protecting our local environment.
Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the Oatley Heritage and Historical Society who have recently created an outstanding book entitled “A Place Called Oatley.”
This is an outstanding read for anybody who is interested in the history of the Oatley community. It features a number of amazing facts, statistics and personal stories designed for people of all ages to enjoy.
I have lived in the area all of my life and I was still able to learn something new on every page.
On behalf of residents within both Lugarno and the broader St George community, I extend my support in making the Glenlee property an intergenerational public green space for all to enjoy. The Glenlee property, also known as Lugarno Farm, has been preserved by the Matthei family since 1910, but the strong evidence of Indigenous occupation demonstrates that the history of this space is far greater.
I acknowledge Diwash Sapkota and the team at Sagun Grocery Store in Mortdale who are an outstanding local business in our community. Last year I had the privilege of acknowledging the store with a Business Achievement Award as part of the 10th Anniversary of the St George Community Awards.
