Object to Changes CIVIC ROUNDSMAN

BY OUR CHIEF

Opposition is mounting against a
proposal to terminate a majority of
Parramatta River ferries at Baran-
garoo near Darling Harbour instead
Greenwich residents join fight of Circular Quay as at present.
Latest objections came from Green-
wich residents meeting at Greenwich
Community Centre where Sydney Fer-
ries Transdev General Manager Op-
erations Craig Rieck attended and an-
swered a barrage of questions.
He was accompanied by Hetaal Badi-
yani who is Communications and
Stakeholder Manager.
Mr Rieck was previously bombarded at
a packed hostile Hunters Hill Town Hall
meeting and Parramatta City Council
has joined the action. See Page 10
Lane Cove MP Anthony Roberts has
secured a month’s extension for com-
plaints to local MPs electorate offices.
See page 4.

maintain Circular Quay as the terminus for

day’s Greenwich Community Association
meeting. TWT on-the-spot PHOTO.
