Speech by Cr Shauna Jarrett on the 20 November 2023 City of Sydney Council meeting about her Notice of Motion for trialling e-scooters.
The Sydney Liberals have saved Christmas from the grinches that is the NSW Labor Government, passing a notice of motion on Monday’s Council meeting to investigate the City of Sydney resurrecting the scrapped ‘Noel Sydney’ event in December. Liberal Councillor Shauna Jarrett moved her notice of motion following the NSW Government’s decision to scrap the Noel Sydney Christmas Festival hosted by Destination NSW in the 2023 NSW Budget handed down by Labor. Despite being in its first year, Labor decided Christmas was cancelled, scrapping the event that attracted more than 100,000 visitors to Sydney. Council unanimously passed the motion, calling on the Chief Executive Officer to investigate whether discretionary funding and resources are available to fund the Noel Sydney Christmas Festival for 2023 and report back to Council as to the costings and logistics of running a Noel Sydney event through the City of Sydney. “The grinches that are the NSW Labor Government may have tried to steal Christmas, but the Sydney Liberals and the City of Sydney is here to save the festival of joy and happiness that is Noel Sydney,” Cr Jarrett said. “Labor scrapping Noel Sydney after its first year of conception demonstrate they have no vision for how to revitalise Sydney into a prime destination to live, work and stay.” Cr Jarrett said. “I thank my Councillor colleagues from across the political divide including Labor, Greens and Clover Moore Independents for supporting my notice of motion.” Cr Jarrett said.
