The Illawarra nearly missed out on a $43 billion renewable energy investment boom because the NSW Liberal and Nationals Government originally excluded the region as a Renewable Energy Zone (REZ).

The need for more health workers in the Illawarra’s health facilities - particularly Wollongong Hospital - were raised by the Member for Wollongong, Paul Scully MP, in a Private Members Statement to the NSW Parliament yesterday.

The future of Illawarra manufacturing will get a new boost from NSW Labor’s commitment to foster domestic manufacturing.

An Illawarra Energy Conference to be hosted in Wollongong tomorrow morning is a perfect opportunity for the NSW Government to finally make good on its promises and deliver local content requirements for renewable energy projects and infrastructure in New South Wales.

NSW Labor has announced new local content targets, increased tender weightings for small businesses, and establishing a NSW Jobs First Commission to back manufacturing offering great benefits for the Illawarra region.

Bureau of Health Information (BHI) data from January to March 2022 show patients attending local ED’s are waiting longer to have their treatment start and less than half of patients presenting to Wollongong Hospital are leaving within four hours. 

I am very pleased to announce that nine local sporting groups will share in $50,000 in funding in the Wollongong electorate under the 2021-22 Local Sport Grant Program.

The NSW Liberals and Nationals Government must stop sitting on its hands and open the fifth round of the Port Kembla Community Investment Fund (PKCIF).

Member for Wollongong Paul Scully has attacked the NSW Treasurer’s record on the Government’s lack of investment in the Illawarra’s renewable energy future during a speech in NSW Parliament last night.

The opportunity of Wollongong-based public service workers to work from Wollongong instead of daily commuting to Sydney CBD has been delayed, Member for Wollongong, Paul Scully said today.
