Repurpose Manly Town Hall as a multiuse performing arts centre
We want to transform Manly's night-time culture, and bring first-class entertainment to the heart of Manly. The Town Hall heritage building should be repurposed to include a multi-purpose theatre, small cinema & exhibition space. Details here |
|
Reinstate the iconic boardwalk & harbour pool next to Manly Wharf
Manly had a huge calm-water swimming pool & magnificent boardwalk stretching from the Wharf to Federation Point. We have a comprehensive plan to bring them back, this time with special protection for sea grass & little penguins. Details here. |
|
Upgrade Manly Ferries to clean energy maintaining their retro style
The big, double-ended ferries are part of our heritage, & famous round the world. They're needed to transport our large tourist numbers & when the ocean is rough. But now they're under threat. We're fighting to keep the fleet, until they can be replaced by clean energy replicas. Details here. |
|
Monitor the environmental & community impacts of the Northern Beaches Tunnel
While the traffic chaos of the Northern Beaches needs to be addressed it must not be at the expense of the health of residents. We will work closely with community groups & authorities to ensure a proper outcome is found. |
|
Retain the Hop Skip & Jump community bus service
It's essential that everyone in our community can get to the shops & the village centres. Another big bonus is that the bus service takes cars off the road & frees up parking spots. |
|
Protect Cabbage Tree Bay
The marine reserve including Shelly Beach is so important it require further protections. Boats need to be banned from anchoring in this area where they rip up the sea-grass and pose a danger to the thousands of daily swimmers. |
