I recently wrote to every councillor on the Campbelltown City Council encouraging them to publicly push the New South Wales Liberal Perrottet government to urgently act on Appin Road to save the lives of constituents and also to put in place fauna protections, especially for our koalas, along Appin Road. I was encouraged to do this because Sutherland Shire Council recently didn't have any problem getting the state government to stop development of koala habitat at Woronora Heights, to protect their koalas. Yet the state government has done nothing to improve the notorious Appin Road where there have been many deaths and loss of wildlife, particularly our koalas, on an ongoing basis for many years. The state government does absolutely nothing.

Appin Road is infamous in my electorate. Some of my patients, people known to me and the brother of one of our local councillors have lost their lives on Appin Road. It is a tragedy. It is a tragedy that is being ignored by the Perrottet government. It is a disgraceful act by them. They are developing tens of thousands of new houses in the Macarthur area and doing nothing to provide local infrastructure. It's time every Campbelltown councillor stood up and acted against the Perrottet government and got them to act.
