Play for All Australia – Sponsor A Swing

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Speaker, I wish to recognise local businesses and individuals throughout Mosman who have partnered with 'Play for All Australia' to sponsor swings and play equipment upgrades across 12 Mosman playgrounds. The 'Play for All Australia' initiative was established by Caroline Ghatt and her Husband, Tim Smith, whose son lived with a significant disability. The aim is to generate awareness and dial-up social inclusion across local communities. The upgrades have included replacements of low-back infant swing seats with Australian made inclusive high-back seats. The high back seats are more accommodating and safer, giving all young children the same opportunity to play and connect in the community, regardless of their ability. Thank you to all the amazing local businesses that have sponsored a swing set. I acknowledge Mosman Council, Mosman Chamber of Commerce, Bendigo Community Bank, Di Jones, Harris Farm Markets, Rotary Club of Mosman, Music N' Me, Mosman Toyota, The Works, and Vine Apparel for their support and help in building a world of play and belonging for all children.
