Local Politics | Ray Williams MP

THANK YOU
Thank you for your overwhelming support in the recent state election. It is great honour to continue representing the hardworking families of the Castle Hill electorate. After eight years we will soon realise some much needed infrastructure which will greatly benefit our area. The opening of the Sydney Metro Northwest, the completion of the Glenhaven/Old Northern Rd upgrade, the next stage of Westconnex with a new tunnel under Parramatta Rd providing an additional motorway to the city and NorthConnex another tunnel under Pennant Hills Rd linking the F3 to the M2. This infrastructure will provide several different options for both drivers and those people choosing to use public transport. It will reduce traffic congestion and change the way we move across the metropolitan area of Sydney.

ACTIVE KIDS VOUCHER DOUBLES
The hugely popular Active Kids program will double with two separate $100 vouchers being available for each child to encourage them to become involved in sport across the entire year. From July 2019 families will be able to access two Active Kids vouchers with the twin aims of encouraging children to play sport from January to December and to further ease the cost of living for NSW families.

HELP WITH POWER BILLS FOR SELF-FUNDED RETIREES IN CASTLE HILL
For the first time, self-funded retirees with a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card will be able to claim $200 a year to help with their power bill. From 1 July 2019, the rebate will be available through Service NSW centres and online. Other cost savings programs include cheaper Green Slips and refunds, free or discounted rego for regular toll users and the Fuel Check app.
