The Committee Chair, Ms Cate Faehrmann MLC, said: ‘We have received a large number of written submissions from the community and various organisations, as well as hundreds of responses to our online questionnaire, reflecting the public interest in this issue. The committee is looking forward to hearing from those impacted by the Rozelle Interchange at its first hearing’.

The public hearing will take place in the Macquarie Room at Parliament House, Sydney and commence at 10.00 am.

In an effort to hear from as many members of the public as possible, the hearing will also include a public forum where members of the public will be able to have their views heard by the inquiry. This will take place from 2.45 – 3.45 pm, and members of the public are invited to register to participate. Selected participants will be given time to briefly share their experiences and recommendations with the committee.

Ms Faehrmann added: ‘There’s no doubt that the opening of the Rozelle Interchange has had a big impact on particular communities in Sydney. That’s why community input is so essential to our inquiry so that the committee can understand and learn from your experiences. For those interested, please register to be a part of the public forum.’
