We’d like to take this opportunity to introduce two highly valued members of the Sydney Metro team – our Place Managers, Deborah Palmer (on the left in the photo) and Katherine Martin. If you click on the photo you will be able to see them better!
Deborah and Katherine have been appointed to ensure the community has direct access to a single point of contact at the Sydney Metro office.
Deborah is available to provide prompt assistance to the Rozelle and Pyrmont communities, Katherine, to the CBD community.
Over the past few weeks Deborah and Katherine have been out in the community meeting with local residents and business owners to listen to their views about the CBD Metro. Their feedback has helped us to kick off our first community forum, which concentrates on topics arising from the Preliminary Environmental Assessment of the project. As the project progresses, our Place Managers will make regular posts to this page and we encourage you to bookmark this page and keep in touch with them here.
