The Manly Electorate Office is located at Shop 2, 2 Wentworth Street, Manly NSW 2095. My office is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday.

As your local State Member of Parliament, some of the areas where I can be of assistance include education (including our local public schools), health, public transport and roads, police and emergency services, and planning.
 
Please feel free to get in touch with any relevant inquiries via manly@parliament.nsw.gov.au or contact the Manly Electorate Office on (02) 9976 2773.
 
As your local representative for Manly, it is a privilege to be able to facilitate special congratulatory messages to mark your significant life events and milestones. If you’re celebrating a 50th, 60th, or 70th wedding anniversary, or an 80th, 90th, or 100th birthday, I can assist with organising messages of congratulations from the Premier, Prime Minister, and in some instances, the Governor-General and the King.
 
To make this possible, my office will require a postal address and copies of supporting documentation such as birth and marriage certificates. If this is not possible to arrange, a statutory declaration or a copy of a passport or driver’s license may also suffice.
 
Please reach out to my office with the required documents to request a congratulatory message.
 
If you have received a penalty notice for a traffic or parking infringement and would like to review it, please visit Revenue NSW’s website here, which will take you through the process of reviewing a fine.
 
If you are still not satisfied with the outcome, please contact my office for advice and ensure that you provide a copy of the original penalty notice, as well as your reasons for requesting a review and any relevant supporting documentation. As your local State MP, I can make a representation on your behalf to Revenue NSW.
The NSW Government issues several awards to acknowledge excellence and reward achievement and service. Awards can be arranged for community service and for representing the State in sport, music, the arts or academic pursuits. Please feel free to contact the Manly Electorate Office for further information, or click here for further information.

To become a Justice of the Peace (JP), you must follow the online process found here and then seek a nomination from a NSW Member of Parliament. As your local State MP, I am more than happy to review applications from constituents that reside in Manly.

I can assist with providing a NSW State Flag free of charge to a range of charitable and community groups with facilities to permit proper flying or display of the flag. This includes RSL sub-branches, Surf Life Saving Clubs, Rotary and Lions Clubs, scout groups, and other associations within the Manly Electorate.

The NSW Government provides a range of funding opportunities for community, sporting and cultural groups. These grants can be utilised to support projects, upgrades and other initiatives which benefit the community, as well as emergency and natural disaster recovery and preparedness. If you think you may be eligible, please reach out as my office can assist with helping your business or organisation in seeking and applying for these funding programs.
