Local Member for Manly, James Griffin MP, has today launched Future Manly — a new initiative designed to give residents the opportunity to shape both a shared vision for our community and what projects and issues they want championed in State Parliament.
Mr Griffin said the project represents his ongoing effort to ensure the direction of the local community is informed by residents’ ideas and opinions.
“Throughout my political career, it has always been important to me that the views and perspectives of residents and businesses inform the work I do on their behalf. With Future Manly, I am making it as easy as possible for people to share their views. My role is to represent our community, our ideas, our priorities, and our vision for the future of our community,” Mr. Griffin said.
The project will begin with a large-scale community conversation, inviting residents to join at futuremanly.com and share their views on the issues and opportunities shaping the local area.
Following the online engagement, Mr Griffin will publish the results and release a shared plan for Manly’s future and a community vision statement.
“Too often politicians spend their time speaking about issues and not getting on with delivering. People know me, and they know I deliver what I promise. I’m wanting to get their views on where to next for the electorate of Manly.” said Mr Griffin.
“Our area requires continued modern leadership, and community consultation projects like this are vital. They ensure that elected representatives are truly reflecting the voices of the people they represent. Future Manly is about listening first and then acting together.”
Mr Griffin emphasised that the process is ongoing, and he will continue to engage with residents beyond the initial consultation to ensure community voices remain central to delivering projects.
Residents can participate now by visiting futuremanly.com and contributing their ideas.
