Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) — I acknowledge the tireless work of the Cr Paula Masselos and Cr Danny Said, the Mayors of Waverley and Randwick City Councils. Local Government is the heartbeat of the community, working tirelessly to makes sure everything functions as it should. This tasks is difficult in good times and has been incredibly complex during the COVID-19 lockdown period. The Waverley and Randwick LGAs were at a time mentioned in daily news headlines as decisions were made about if and when beaches, public spaces, libraries and community facilities would close. Through this, Cr Masselos and Cr Said led their communities with strength and understanding and were able to steer their communities along the line between protecting the public health and allowing people to go about their lives with some normality. Both Councils have also done a superb job at supporting their local business community through very testing times. The timely financial relief applied by both councils allowed many businesses to keep the doors open and serving their customers throughout the lockdown period. We now look forward to better days ahead and so I thank both Mayors for their tireless work in getting us to this point.
