Acknowledges the offer from the NSW State Government in 2021, to help support the purchase of the land and reopen discussions with the NSW Government in this regard. 4. Acknowledges the desire of the NSW State Government to improve the safety of the Princes Highway to the South of Nowra, with changes and future works that will impact existing conservation lands, namely the potential loss of 20ha from the Conjola National Park and notes that the Manyana Special Conservation Reserve could be a candidate for purchase by the NSW Government as an offset for the future works, particularly land of equivalent size legislated to be removed from the Conjola National Park to allow for road safety improvements on the Princes Highway south of Nowra. 5. Write to the NSW Premier, Deputy Premier, Treasurer and relevant Government Ministers (Infrastructure, Planning, Transport and Regional Transport and Roads) requesting and supporting the NSW State Government’s purchase of the Manyana Beach Estate / Special Conservation Reserve for conservation and for offsetting the future impacts created by Transport for NSW (TfNSW) and the representations also be sent to the relevant Shadow Ministers and The Greens NSW Parliamentary Representatives.
