St George Community Transport

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise to congratulate St George Community Transport on their continued hard work to ensure all members of our local community have access to transport. St George Community Transport provide transport services to those who would otherwise have difficulty finding them. This includes the frail, elderly, those with a disability, their carers and others needing transport. This year, they have delivered over 70,000 trips needed in our community. In doing so, they are making a large difference in the lives of many, by encouraging and facilitating mobility and independence. As well as this, St George Community Transport help to foster our area's strong sense of community and selflessness. Speaker, organisations such as St George Community Transport are essential for improving social participation. They are allowing all members of our community to live independently, contribute to our local economy and interact with our local area. On behalf of our community, I would like to thank Chairman Chris Tyler, CEO Carol Strachan and the rest of the St George Community Transport team on the difference they are making.
