New recycling partnership announced last week with the NSW Government, funded through the Morrison Government’s Recycling Modernisation Fund.

Part of this announcement is a new $35 million grants round now available through the Remanufacture NSW program for industry and local governments ready to co-invest in transforming the state’s recycling industry.

These grants will prioritise new sorting technology for glass, plastic and paper products at our materials recovery facilities, increasing our ability to process mixed plastics and build our capacity to process valuable single stream plastics like PET and HDPE.

Have you planned your 26th of January Australia Day celebrations?

Australia supports us and gives us opportunities people elsewhere in this world can only dream of.

The Bennelong community is one of Australia's most successful multicultural communities, I am so proud to call it home, and Australia home.

On Australia Day we can reflect, respect and celebrate.

Most Australians descend from people who were struggling and poor when they arrived here. For Aboriginal people - they experienced terrible dislocation and hardships after settlement.

Since that date the descendants of all Australians struggled, but ultimately triumphed, to turn this land into one of The Great nations on this Earth.

I am hopeful that that great man for which our community is named for, Woollarawarre Bennelong, would agree.

His resting place is near Bennelong Park, with a wonderful monument to the local Wallumedegal Clan next door at Kissing Point, in the form of wind veins shaped like Snapper fish. I recommend visiting the site to reflect on our local Aboriginal past, and keep their spirit enduring into the future.

And to also celebrate the success of our nation!

Find local events near you at www.australiaday.org.au/events.
Or invite friends over in a COVID-safe way for a BBQ or the like.
