05.01.2022 Yesterday I visited Peakhurst Park to announce that the Federal Government has committed $500,000 to funding an upgrade to the main playing field at Peakhurst Park. For some time, the poor condition of the field has meant that games have had to be relocated or cancelled.

05.01.2022 Really pleased that weve been able to secure funding for CCTV cameras at Lugarno shops.
04.01.2022 Since 2015, I have been opposing Canterbury-Bankstown Councils radical rezoning Plans. In 2018, Council withdrew its Plans. But it has now launched a new Plan, which would see more than 25,000 residents added to Padstow, Revesby, Panania, and East Hills. Its a ridiculous Plan which would change our area forever and must be withdrawn.... Yesterday I launched a petition against this Plan, which has already been signed by more than 700 residents. If you are concerned about the Plan, please sign the petition below: www.davidcoleman.com.au/stop-canterbury-bankstown-councils-
