The Board of the Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Council’s has called for a major community consultation campaign to determine the views of Western Sydney residents towards building a second airport at Badgery’s Creek.
 

Speaking after the Board meeting on Thursday February 21, President Tony Hadchiti said Western Sydney needed to have an important voice in the decision making process, as their residents would be the most affected.

“There is no doubt that the issue needs to be widely canvassed among the people who will be most affected by any decision regarding a second airport for Western Sydney,” Clr Hadchiti said.

“A major infrastructure project of this size would directly create up to 40,000 jobs, and bring benefits to many more local businesses and industries.

“Our region has a unique set of opportunities and challenges and it will be interesting see how residents will view the impact of an airport.

Clr Hadchiti replaced Alison McLaren, who led the influential advocacy organisation for a record four years, helping to highlight regional issues and gain recognition for Western Sydney at the highest level of government.
 
“I am looking forward to continuing the great work of WSROC and working together with the Board to promote the best interest of Western Sydney”, Clr Hadchiti said.

The Deputy Mayor of Hawkesbury, Clr Tiffany Tree was elected as Senior Vice president, Parramatta Councillor Steven Issa was elected as Junior Vice President and Blacktown Councillor Jacqueline Donaldson is the new Treasurer.
 
 

WSROC has released a new report which shows acute care health services in Western Sydney fall far short of those in other areas of Sydney. In all areas – hospital bed numbers, surgery waiting lists, GP and mental health services, Western Sydney residents are waiting longer for essential services which are already stretched beyond capacity.

WSROC President Clr Alison McLaren called on the Government to review the distribution of health services across Sydney and consider introducing incentives for practitioners to move to the region.
“These figures show what Western Sydney residents have known for a long time – they are getting a raw deal when it comes to health,” Clr McLaren said.
