Recognition for community hero Bob

Bob Morris of the Kincumber Nautical Village has been honoured for his outstanding dedication and service to the local community.

He has been recognised with a NSW Government Community Service Award, presented by Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch.

Crouch said Morris had been a fierce advocate for fairer regulations for land lease communities, actively lobbying for changes to the Residential (Land Lease) Communities Act 2013 to better protect those living in residential land lease communities.

“Bob’s advocacy for change has helped some of the most vulnerable in not just our local community, but residents living in land lease communities right across NSW,” Crouch said.

“When the opportunity came to nominate an individual for the Community Service Award, I could think of no better person than Bob Morris.

“His unwavering commitment to fight for change for his community was unparalleled and he was also able to provide me with a deep understanding and detailed explanation of the issues being faced by residents at the Kincumber Nautical Village.

“Often the best way for a Member of Parliament to truly understand the impacts of legislation is to be able to hear and see it firsthand and Bob was always willing to provide his time and valued advice whenever necessary.”

Crouch said Morris had not sought recognition for his relentless advocacy on behalf of the community, which was exactly why he was a truly outstanding recipient for the award.

Morris said he was “deeply honoured” to receive the award.

“I look forward to continuing to work on behalf of some of the most vulnerable members of our community,” he said.
