The Premier will directly make the call on how many public sector jobs will be cut within Wollongong and the Illawarra to implement the Government's 2019-20 NSW Budget decision to slash 2500 jobs.

The Berejiklian Government no longer provides information on the number of public sector jobs it has relocated to Wollongong from Sydney as part of its Decade of Decentralisation program, Member for Wollongong, Paul Scully, said today.

A community-owned supermarket and educational play area are two projects that will share in $266,000 in funding from the 'My Community Project' program in the Wollongong electorate, Member for Wollongong, Paul Scully, announced today.
