G’day everyone,

I know the events of the last week have been tough to take. A difficult end to what’s been the most challenging of years. The timing compounds these feelings. Right when things were looking up and we were getting ready to celebrate Christmas, welcome family and friends into our homes, get out and enjoy our city and take a well-earned regional holiday.

New case locations

Good morning everyone,

Pittwater is a seafaring community and the cancellation of the Sydney to Hobart is a massive blow to local sailors who make up almost a third of the fleet.

Many local families will also be in isolation over Christmas and it’s so moving to see neighbours supporting neighbours, and people they have never met, with meals and supplies.

For those last-minute Christmas shoppers – I encourage you to reach out online to our local small businesses to see if they can provide gift cards.
