2023 NSW State Election Candidate Forum - Seat of Heffron

Select the top 3 issues that matter to you!

A State Election Candidates Forum for the seat of Heffron is being held on Wednesday 8 February at 7pm at the Alexandria Town Hall by:

The Alexandria Residents Action Group (ARAG) and
REDWatch.

As in past years, we survey residents to determine the key issues that you want to hear about from each of the candidates. Each candidate will be asked to address the issues within their allotted time.

After the candidates make their presentations, there will be a Q&A session where audience members can ask their own questions of the candidates.

We will be collating the responses and the top three issues nominated by respondents will be put to all of the candidates.

To keep things simple, we need you to select the top three issues and through this simple voting process, the top three issues will be selected and put to the candidates.

Please note: the order in which the issues appear is randomised, so will be different for each respondent and remove bias as much as possible.

Question Title

* Please select the top three issues that you most want to hear about from the candidates.

Note: If you select more than three, you will have to go back and de-select any over three issues before you can complete the survey.

Education - there are challenges in every level of our education system - early childhood, school and vocational education. What policies do you have to improve equity, quality and access in our education system?

Climate Change - what is the plan to respond to Climate Change and increase renewables and the uptake of electric vehicles and the reduction of the reliance on fossil fuels?

Roads, traffic and connectivity - what is the plan to improve traffic management and flow in our area?

Bridge between North and South Eveleigh - will you commit to the installation of a pedestrian and cycling bridge between North and South Eveleigh given this was a commitment in the original Redfern Waterloo Authority's plan?

How will you ensure that the redevelopment of these areasmeets the needs of public and affordable housing while also providing broader community benefits (parks, open spaces etc)?
