Ms WARE (Hughes): I rise today to speak about some of the issues affecting my local community in Hughes. Firstly, nestled down on the banks of the Woronora River, known by the 2,200 locals down here as 'the Wonnie', and completely ringed by bushland is the suburb or village better known as Woronora. The community hub there is the Woronora RSL club. But this club is currently under threat of closure. I met with the board over the weekend and have been contacted by many Woronora residents. The RSL club is an integral part of our local community, hosting Anzac Day and Remembrance Day services. It is a venue for community meetings and an emergency evacuation point, and it also hosts various groups including our local ukulele group. It is hoped that this important venue can continue to operate into the future. I've said to the Woronora locals and the club directors, 'I'll continue to advocate for this club to save this important local icon.'
