$15 million to boost vaccination rates across Sydney

The Minns Labor Government is investing $15 million over four years to boost immunisation rates for priority populations, including Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities across Sydney.

The Priority Populations Immunisation Program aims to increase vaccine access and uptake in population groups which have been identified as having low vaccination coverage or face barriers to vaccination.

The funding includes building immunisation capacity across NSW Health services through additional staff and a Community Connectors for Immunisation Grants Program.

These community connectors will work closely with local health districts to increase knowledge and understanding of vaccination within their communities and how to access immunisation services for a range of vaccines, including influenza, shingles and pneumococcal vaccination for eligible cohorts.

As part of the Grants Program, eight not-for-profit organisations will receive up to $100,000 per year to champion vaccination in CALD communities in Western Sydney, South Western Sydney, South Eastern Sydney and Sydney.

The eight organisations include:

  • Accessible Diversity Services Australia
  • Advanced Diversity Services
  • Arab Council Australia
  • CASS care
  • Community Migrant Resource Centre
  • Cumberland Community Radio
  • Ethnic Communities’ Council of NSW
  • Muslim Community Radio

The Program includes training and resource development to support these organisations to recruit community connectors who will raise awareness of the importance and effectiveness of vaccination for children, adolescents and adults, and identify barriers to accessing vaccination among these communities.

The NSW Health program is supported by behavioural insights experts from the University of NSW who have experience in developing and delivering training and relevant resources for CALD communities.

NSW Minister for Health, Ryan Park:

“Making sure people get vaccinated helps keep our communities healthy and reduces the burden of preventable diseases on our health system.

“The NSW Government is committed to improving vaccination rates among priority populations, including people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

“This funding will enable NSW Health to work in partnership with community organisations to increase awareness and access of vaccines among CALD communities with the lowest vaccination rates.

“We want these communities to know that vaccination is safe and effective. It is the best way to protect yourself and the broader community from serious illness and hospitalisation from a range of diseases.”

NSW Minister for Multiculturalism, Steve Kamper:

“This is a fantastic initiative and important funding, which will help to better protect our diverse communities from serious illness.

“It’s important we do all we can to improve accessibility and educate our diverse communities on the benefits and importance of vaccination, to better protect themselves and their communities. This collaboration will go far in improving health outcomes for people from diverse backgrounds.”

Public information session to update the community on the future of Tomaree Lodge

Preliminary concepts for the future of Tomaree Lodge – one of Port Stephens’ most iconic locations – will be unveiled at a public event next week, giving the community a first look at the exciting possibilities for the site.

Commissioned by the Minns Labor Government, the draft concepts have been developed by renowned Hunter-based SHAC Architects, drawing on ideas from community surveys and feedback from interest groups.

A detailed site assessment by SHAC Architects has considered the site’s significant cultural, heritage and environmental value, as well as the constraints that limit future use. While some suggestions were found to be unviable, many others offer strong potential for educational, conservation, cultural and recreational purposes.

These concepts lay the groundwork for the next stage of community engagement and consultation.

SHAC Architects is working closely with the Community Engagement Committee, NSW Government Steering Committee, Hunter Circles, and Worimi community leaders to ensure all perspectives are heard and reflected. These groups will continue to guide both short-term ‘meanwhile use’ initiatives and longer-term plans to enhance the site for future public use.

The release of the concepts will be a major milestone in the Minns Labor Government’s commitment to keeping Tomaree Lodge in public hands, for the community to enjoy for generations to come.

The concept ideas will be presented at a public information session being hosted by the Minister for Families and Communities, Kate Washington at Nelson Bay Bowling & Recreation Club on the evening of Wednesday, 27 August 2025.

Community members are encouraged to attend and have their say, and can register via email at tomareelodge@dcj.nsw.gov.au

Minister for Disability Inclusion and Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington said:

“The concept plans reveal the enormous and exciting opportunities ahead for this much-loved, very special site – I can’t wait to share them with our community.

“Please come to our forum to hear from SHAC Architects about their close consultation with our community that’s led to concept designs for you to consider, explore and provide feedback.

“This site has had a remarkable history, I want to make sure that our community helps shape its future, so together, we can create a world class destination we can all be proud of.”

Justin Hamilton FAIA, Managing Director SHAC, said:

“SHAC congratulate the community for collaborative and creative placemaking.

“As local architects, we are privileged to have curated custodianship principles for this significant cultural landscape, the water, the land, the forests, and the heritage, alongside and for people with common unity.

“We are excited to share these preliminary concepts for a framework for conservation, celebration, innovation and education for generations.”

$50 million housing support package for residents impacted by East Coast Floods

The Albanese and Minns Labor Governments have announced a $50 million Housing Support Package to assist eligible homeowners, renters and primary producers who were impacted by the recent severe flooding in the Mid North Coast and in the Hunter.

Caravans and self-contained pod homes will be deployed for eligible flood-hit residents and primary producers whose homes were uninsured and uninhabitable so they can stay on their property during repairs.

This is an additional support to the Primary Producer Self Contained Pods Program already announced to support farmers to continue farming while undertaking repairs.

In a first for flood recovery, supports are being rolled out to help renters facing financial hardship and uncertainty to relocate their family or set themselves up in a new place – delivered through new rental grants.

Introduced in response to the record-breaking flooding in May, these new grants provide one-off financial assistance to help households return to home quickly, covering urgent costs such as removalists, rental bonds and other costs related to setting up a new home.

These will be delivered alongside grants to help homeowners with the costs of repairs, which will also be available to landlords to make repairs to private rental stock where they are willing to commit to returning supply to the private rental market.

In another first, a dedicated Housing Recovery Service will operate for residents across the impacted areas, providing a one-stop shop for assistance and to assess eligibility and guide them toward the support that best meets their individual recovery needs.

The package will be offered to flood-impacted residents whose homes were rendered uninhabitable across the 25 local government areas hardest hit by the May event, where they don’t have insurance cover for the damage.

The package draws on lessons from the Northern Rivers and Central West flood disasters in 2022, which highlighted that remaining on-site can assist rebuilding and provide a sense of security.

The package focuses on targeted financial assistance, helping provide access to safe and secure housing so that individuals and families can get back on their feet quickly.

Supports include:

  • Provision of caravans for eligible households and self-contained pods for primary producers to live on-site during recovery and rebuilding.
  • Rapid home repair grants for eligible homeowners and landlords to ensure homes are habitable.
  • Support for eligible renters to cover costs associated with finding and moving into a new property, including bond and removalist fees.
  • A new Housing Recovery Service, a special one-stop, concierge model, which will direct homeowners, renters, people in unstable housing and farmers to the best support for their recovery.
  • The housing support package will be offered to those who are experiencing financial hardship, are uninsured and have uninhabitable homes, which includes non-functioning bathrooms or kitchens, or major structural damages to the roof walls or floors.

For more information on the support package go to:  https://www.nsw.gov.au/emergency/recovery/storm-recovery-updates/housing-support-package-for-nsw-mid-north-coast-and-hunter-floods

From Monday 25 August 2025, impacted residents will be able to call the Housing Recovery Service on 1800 695 043 for housing assistance and to access support services.

Federal Minister for Emergency Management Kristy McBain

“The devastation caused by the East Coast floods has left many families and communities facing distress and uncertainty.

“This new $50 million housing support package is a vital step in helping people regain stability and rebuild their lives.

“We know from past disasters that timely, targeted assistance makes a real difference. That’s why the Australian Government is proud to work alongside the NSW Government to deliver practical support – whether its helping people stay connected to their land, repair their homes or find safe accommodation.

“Recovery is never a one-size-fits-all process. This package reflects a shared commitment across governments to listen to communities, respond to their needs and stand with them as they recover.”

NSW Minister for Housing Rose Jackson

“When people have to jump through hoops to access to support, it adds to their trauma and causes unnecessary delays.

“The Housing Recovery Service will provide a no wrong door approach for households and community organisations, removing the guesswork for residents trying to get back on their feet.

“It will allow Homes NSW and the Reconstruction Authority to work collaboratively to match eligible flood-impacted people to the right support, avoiding duplication and added stress.

NSW Minister for Recovery Janelle Saffin

“For people who go through a catastrophic flood, they are dealing with shock and disbelief, as well as the mud, debris and destruction left behind.

“This $50 million housing support package has been designed to provide safe and secure living arrangements for those most in need, so that they can focus on rebuilding their lives.

“We know in the Northern Rivers and in the Central West that people value the option of keeping their connection to their home and local community and these programs will allow residents in the Mid North Coast and Hunter to do just this.

“We also recognise the impact of disasters on renters and the importance of giving them a helping hand to re-establish themselves.

“We’ve been with the community since the start of this disaster, and we’ll continue to support the community during recovery.” 

$355,000 to put Central Coast night-time districts on the map

The NSW Government’s successful night-time district grant support initiative, the Uptown program, has expanded to the Central Coast, with $355,000 in funding to support two successful districts in the region.

The Gosford Strip Precinct and The Esplanade in Terrigal are the region’s first successful precincts to participate in the program.

Across the state, 37 precincts have received funding under the third round of the NSW Government’s $5.5 million Uptown Grant program. 

The Uptown District Acceleration Program is a key element of the NSW Government’s 24-Hour Economy Strategy. A catalyst for change, it supports place-based collaboration, branding and storytelling within districts, and provides a platform for districts to innovate with reduced risk and ultimately become self-sustainable in the future.   

The program is delivered in two phases. The capacity-building Uptown Accelerator Program, which features a series of workshops designed to help districts build on their unique vision, and the Uptown Grant Program. 

The Office of the 24-Hour Economy Commissioner has also engaged with local government and industry in regional areas across NSW, to understand the unique needs, challenges and priorities of these areas to better understand how a program like Uptown could be rolled out across NSW.  

All new Uptown districts will be featured on the NSW Government’s Neon Marketplace to help these Districts connect with the creative community and collaborate on local activations and initiatives.   

For more information on the Uptown District Acceleration Program visit: https://www.nsw.gov.au/business-and-economy/office-of-24-hour-economy-commissioner/uptown-program

For more information on Neon Marketplace visit: https://www.neonmarketplace.nsw.gov.au/

Minister for Music and the Night-time Economy, John Graham said: 

“We’ve seen amazing success stories come out of the Uptown program, from district partnerships with major events like Vivid Sydney and SXSW Sydney to amazing community events and activations like the Inner West Ale Trail’s Inner West Country festival. I’m pleased to see districts from the state’s Central Coast, north and south coasts in the program. 

“The Uptown Grant Program allows often cash-strapped businesses to work together and develop product offerings and promotional strategies that tell the stories of their local areas and encourage people to come, stay and spend. 

“We want to create self-sustaining district initiatives that will go from strength to strength in promoting their vibrant local offerings and help promote our visitor economy for years to come.”

Minister for the Central Coast, David Harris said:

“Gosford and Terrigal are key centres on our rapidly growing Central Coast and it’s great to see them as part of this initiative that will ensure locals and visitors can enjoy the unique stories and offerings these dynamic hubs have to offer.

“We’ve always been known for our spectacular beaches, but there are so many talented local businesses and artists. This investment will support more collaboration across businesses, and bring more opportunities for the community to enjoy and give visitors an even better excuse to get along and soak up the vibe.”

Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch said:

“Gosford is full of Coastie charm and warmth. The local community has been working hard at the grassroots, driven by the belief that community grit can help build a better Gosford.

“I’m pleased the NSW Government can back those local businesses and support that collaboration to develop a sustainable and vibrant precinct with great options for people to explore and enjoy.”

Gosford Strip Precinct Board Chair Juan Locco said:

“For a long time, our CBD has been defined nationally by decline—vacant shops, failed projects, and a sense of being forgotten. Uptown Grant marks a turning point. It doesn’t just back our vision—it acknowledges the resilience and hard work of our diverse collective of business owners, community organisations, and everyday go-getters who’ve rolled up their sleeves to rebuild our city’s heart.

“This grant is a game-changer for our team and the entire Gosford community; the Uptown Grant allows us—for the first time—to professionally resource and coordinate our district’s efforts. We’ll be able to employ dedicated team members to lead precinct coordination, strengthen collaboration between local businesses and organisations, and local government as well as drive consistency and momentum across our initiatives.”

Minister out of his depth on jobs crisis

The Minns Government has once again shown it has no plan for jobs in New South Wales, with the Minister for Jobs today exposed as completely out of his depth during Budget Estimates.
 
Shadow Minister for Jobs, Mark Coure, has slammed the Minns Labor Government after Jobs Minister, Stephen Kamper, failed to acknowledge how many jobs have been lost under Labor’s watch.
 
When questioned on basic facts about unemployment, the Minister was unable to provide clear answers, despite thousands of families across NSW struggling with job losses and cost-of-living pressures.
 
“NSW has lost 45,000 jobs in just the past two months. More than 205,000 people across our state are unemployed, and yet the Minister responsible for jobs can’t even say how many jobs have been lost since Labor came to office,” Mr Coure said.
 
“This isn’t just his regular incompetence or a slip-up, it’s a reflection of a government with no plan and no answers for hundreds of thousands of families who are struggling right now.”
 
The facts are clear:
 

  • When Labor came to power in March 2023, the NSW unemployment rate was 3.3%; under their watch it ballooned to 4.4%.[1]
  • NSW is the only state or territory where unemployment increased over 12 months from May 2024 to May 2025, dragging up the national unemployment rate.[2]
  • Areas like Parramatta (5.6%), Blacktown (5.1%) and South-West Sydney (5.7%) experience far higher unemployment rates than the state and national average.[3]

 
“This do-nothing government has cut 1515 public sector roles and has failed to create any new jobs since coming to office, except in their own offices, where recent data revealed a 32.34% increase in staff salary costs for Minister Kamper’s office,” Mr Coure said.
 
“Families out of work across NSW know how tough things are, but clearly the Minister doesn’t. He is offering excuses instead of solutions, and that is simply not good enough.”
 
“NSW needs leadership that creates opportunities and secures jobs, not a Minister who can’t answer the most basic questions about unemployment.”

Chris Minns and Paul Scully must order investigation into $100 million Hawks Nest development…

Chris Minns and Paul Scully must order investigation into $100 million Hawks Nest development and its links to Obeid associates

Scott Farlow
Shadow Minister for Planning and Public Spaces

Shadow Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Scott Farlow has today called on Premier Chris Minns and Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully to order an immediate investigation into the Hawks Nest beachside development and its links to associates of disgraced former Labor Minister Eddie Obeid.
 
In NSW Budget Estimates yesterday the Secretary of the Premier’s Department, Simon Draper, confirmed his office has oversight of more than 400 planning applications. At the same hearing, the Premier praised the importance of the Housing Delivery Authority and the work it is doing. If the Premier truly believes in that work, then he and his Minister for Planning and Public Spaces must direct Mr Draper to investigate this $100 million project without delay and Minister Scully should revoke his Ministerial order on the project until the investigation is complete.
 
The Opposition has already asked Premier Minns and Minister Scully whether any close associates, consultants or known proxies of the Obeid family are financially or professionally connected to the Hawks Nest development. Both failed to answer to give any real answers and instead they pushed responsibility away while allowing the project to be fast tracked as a state significant development with no disclosure of who really benefits.
 
Eddie Obeid is not the people’s problem. He is Labor’s problem. Some of the very Ministers and MPs now serving under Chris Minns sat around the caucus and worked as staffers
when Obeid ruled the Labor Party. They know the damage he caused. They know how it destroyed Labor’s reputation and drove it from office. Those same Ministers should not be searching for excuses. They should be demanding action to stop history from repeating itself.
 
Families across NSW deserve a government that is transparent and accountable. Instead, they are being let down by a Premier and Minister for Planning and Public Spaces who are looking the other way.
 
Shadow Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Scott Farlow said this is a $100 million project on pristine beachfront land, fast tracked by the Minns Labor Government, yet the public has no idea who is really behind it.
 
“The Premier and Minister have the power to commence an investigation and revoke the Ministerial order until the investigation is complete,” Mr Farlow said.

Premier resists inquiry into Western Sydney Hospital crisis

The NSW Premier has again turned his back on the people of Western Sydney, refusing to support an urgent inquiry into the worsening crisis at Blacktown Hospital.
 
In Budget Estimates today, Premier Chris Minns rejected Opposition calls for an inquiry, choosing excuses and political spin over real answers for patients and families.
 
Opposition Leader Mark Speakman said families in western Sydney deserve real answers on why their hospitals are some of the poorest performing in the State.
 
“The Premier’s refusal to support an inquiry shows he’s more interested in political spin than fixing the health crisis in Western Sydney.”
 
Shadow Health Minister Kellie Sloane said the decision was deeply disappointing for the many families who have bravely shared their stories.
 
“The people of Western Sydney deserve answers. Instead of acknowledging the crisis and committing to action, the Premier is hiding behind excuses about the past. Families are sick and tired of excuses – they want solutions.”
 
The NSW Opposition is calling for a parliamentary inquiry into health outcomes and hospital access in Western Sydney.
 
Blacktown and Westmead Hospital are the worst performing hospitals in state for patients starting treatment on time. They also score poorly on patient satisfaction surveys.
 
“No one should be forced to lie on the floor of an emergency department or sleep in their car waiting for treatment. That’s not a health system – that’s a disgrace,” Mr Speakman said.
 
The terms of reference for the inquiry include a review of the operational performance, clinical safety and quality of care provided at Blacktown, Mount Druitt, Westmead, Cumberland, and Auburn Hospitals.

Minns Labor Government’s Stealth Tax Grab

Secret government documents have revealed Labor’s hidden tax grab. The Minns Labor Government is pocketing billions in extra revenue through bracket creep, quietly pulling more from businesses without changing a single law or making a single announcement
 
Payroll tax thresholds have been frozen since Labor came to power. When the Liberals and Nationals were in government, we lifted the payroll tax threshold time and again to give small businesses breathing room. Labor has done the opposite.
 
This now means 1,200 more businesses are dragged into payroll tax every year, punished for hiring more people and paying better wages. Treasury forecasts show bracket creep will gouge an extra $500 million from employers over the next four years.
 
On top of that, Labor scrapped the indexation of land tax thresholds. Treasury now confirms that this decision will pocket more than $18 billion over the next decade. By 2033-34, almost a third of all land tax collected will be the result of this freeze.
 
Instead of encouraging growth, the Minns Labor Government is punishing it. At a time when NSW needs productivity, investment and jobs, Labor’s answer is higher bills and heavier burdens.
 
Leader of the Opposition Mark Speakman said Labor governments always find ways to spend other people’s money.
 
“Now we know the Minns Labor Government is taxing by stealth, punishing businesses and families for working harder and trying to get ahead,” Mr Speakman said.
 
Shadow Treasurer Damien Tudehope said bracket creep is a silent tax.
 
“There is no law change, no debate, just more money flowing into Treasury while businesses and landholders are left worse off,” Mr Tudehope said.
 
Shadow Minister for Small Business Tim James said every year, another 1,200 small and medium businesses are dragged into payroll tax because Labor froze the threshold.
 
“These are family businesses trying to grow, hire and contribute, yet Labor sees them as nothing more than a cash cow,” Mr James said.

Adelaide set to house new national algae testing laboratory

Game-changing testing for brevetoxins in shellfish will soon be able to be carried out at a new national testing facility in suburban Adelaide, fast tracking results for small businesses impacted by South Australia’s algal bloom.

As part of the $28 million algal bloom support package jointly funded with the Albanese Government, the Malinauskas Government has engaged local company Agilex Biolabs to develop the methodology to allow the testing for brevetoxins to be carried out at its Thebarton laboratory.

Whilst the vast majority of South Australia’s oyster industry is open and trading as usual, brevetoxins have been detected in shellfish in Australian waters for the first time, forcing the temporary closure of some harvesting areas.

Earlier this month, the state’s mussel industry was able to reopen for business following a reduction in brevetoxin levels in consecutive testing.

Currently, the testing performed by the South Australian Quality Assurance Program (SASQAP) results in samples to be sent to New Zealand for analysis, resulting in delays of up to a week.

The move to a new national testing in Adelaide will significantly reduce that delay, meaning businesses can more quickly return to normal once brevetoxins reduce to safe levels.

All commercially available seafood from South Australian waters is safe to eat.

The algal bloom support package includes:

  • $10,000 Small Business Support Grants for eligible small businesses
  • Grants of up to $100,000 for eligible impacted fisheries and aquaculture businesses
  • Financial counselling, mental health support and workforce advice to assist small businesses impacted by the harmful algal bloom to develop recovery and continuity plans, understand the short and long-term implications, and help manage financial and mental wellbeing
  • Coastal Monitoring Network – investing in expanded early detection and monitoring of harmful algal bloom species through real time sensors (buoys), satellite imagery and oceanographic modelling, with rapid detection of harmful algal blooms and early warning systems for industry
  • Rapid assessment of fish stocks and fisheries to quantify impact
  • Public forums and information campaigns
  • A Community Fund to support activities and small projects in affected communities
  • Beach clean-up funding

Further information on the algal bloom and support package is available at algalbloom.sa.gov.au

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese

“Australians love their seafood – and they also know some of the best comes from across South Australia.

“The ability to monitor and test for brevetoxins here in Adelaide will speed up the necessary processes to ensure food is safe and allow more shellfish on more plates more quickly.

“My Government is committed to working with the South Australian Government to mitigate the worst effects of this significant ecological event on industry and the environment.”

Premier Peter Malinauskas

“Australians can buy South Australian seafood with absolute confidence – knowing it is of the highest quality anywhere in the world.

“One of the reasons they can be assured is the testing of shellfish through the SASQAP program, and this investment we are making in partnership with the Albanese Government will deliver testing for brevetoxins right here in Adelaide.

“This new national facility will ensure test results can be turned around more quickly – meaning shellfish businesses which endure temporary closure can be back in business sooner when brevetoxin levels drop.

“In the interim, those businesses can apply for significant financial assistance, with grants that are significantly more generous than those on offer through the COVID-19 pandemic.”

THREE LANES NOW OPEN ON PART OF HEXHAM STRAIGHT

Hunter motorists are getting a taste of the future, with the first widened section on the Hexham Straight now open to traffic with three lanes in each direction.


The Albanese and Minns Labor Governments are collectively investing $2.2 billion in the M1 to Raymond Terrace extension and the Hexham Straight Widening to reduce congestion and improve safety for all road users.


The Australian Government is contributing over $1.79 billion towards the project, with the NSW Government contributing $448 million.


Motorists turning left onto Maitland Road from the Newcastle Inner City Bypass are now benefiting from an additional lane for about 650 metres, including an extension to the turning lane from the bypass.


There is also an additional lane for inbound traffic on Maitland Road from about 650 metres north of the bypass, including more space for traffic turning right onto the Newcastle Inner City Bypass.


The latest works also include an upgrade to the traffic lights at the intersection of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass and Old Maitland Road, while the U-turn facility there is also complete.


In addition, a new pedestrian crossing and bus stops in front of St Joseph’s Calvary Aged Care will also be put in place.


When complete, the Hexham Straight will comprise three lanes in each direction for its entire six-kilometre length, from the Newcastle Inner City Bypass to Hexham Bridge.


This will deliver more reliable travel times for freight and improve safety for all road users, including cyclists and pedestrians.


The project is expected to open to traffic in 2026.

Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Catherine King:

“This is a significant milestone for the Hexham Straight Widening project, with motorists getting access to three lanes in each direction, even if only for part of the journey.

“This is a taste of things to come, with the project still on track to be completed and open to traffic in 2026.

“The Australian Government is getting on with the job of delivering for the Hunter, not only through this project but also the broader M1 Pacific Motorway extension to Raymond Terrace, the Singleton Bypass, and plans for the Muswellbrook Bypass and the westbound flyover at Maitland.”

State Minister for Roads Jenny Aitchison:

“The Hexham Straight Widening is part of a suite of road projects that are transforming the Hunter road network.

“This project will help thousands of people get where they’re going more quickly and easily, helping improve their quality of life and underpinning economic growth.

“The Minns and Albanese Governments are working together to deliver infrastructure that will meet the needs of the community and motorists now and into the future.”


Federal Member for Newcastle Sharon Claydon:

“This is a milestone moment for our region and the more than 50,000 motorists who travel this stretch of road every single day.

“For too long, Hexham straight has been a notorious bottleneck. Today, we are opening a safer, smoother, and more efficient journey for commuters.

“This project is a great example of how government investment in infrastructure can change lives and support local economies – reducing congestion, cutting travel times, boosting road safety, and unlocking freight routes.

“I am proud to be part of an Albanese Labor Government that is delivering the infrastructure that Novocastrians deserve.”
