Mayor behind Liberal Councillor’s dumping
The NSW Division of the Liberal Party has handed long time Hawkesbury Councillor Nathan Zamprogno a three-year suspension from the party, amidst growing tension in the council.
The reason he was suspended included complaints that he would not support Liberal backed motions in favour of developers, land clearing or infrastructure that affected heritage sites – and that he did not vote for Labor’s Barry Calvert for deputy mayor.
The motion to remove Cr Zamprogno from the Liberal Party was championed by Hawkesbury Mayor Sarah McMahon, and her predecessor, Cr Patrick Conolly, according to internal Liberal Party documents.

Missing Wildlife Data Raises Concerns Over Developers and Koala Habitat
Four years worth of vital wildlife rescue data that helps to guide property development approvals, including in the Hawkesbury, is missing from a New South Wales native animal tracking database. The data gap has left hundreds of rescues of threatened endangered species, including koalas, unrecorded across the state.
WIRES, a prominent wildlife rescue group, has described this data gap as a “gift” to developers, attributing it to the long-standing under-resourcing of the BioNet database by the previous state government.
This information vacuum empowers property developers to obtain approvals for development projects based on inaccurate evidence of endangered species inhabiting the sites in question, environmental groups said.

Have Your Say On Flood Insurance
Hawkesbury residents are urged to voice their experiences in a national inquiry scrutinising the insurance industry’s response to the 2022 major floods. Federal Member for Macquarie, Susan Templeman is part of the House Standing Committee on Economics leading the inquiry and has launched an online survey to gather input from affected residents.
“The Hawkesbury has been hit hard by floods and the impact of these events continue to reverberate throughout the community and the current insurance arrangements have not served everyone well,” Templeman said.
Ms Templeman says the scope of the inquiry will cover affordability of insurance cover, timeframes and obstacles to resolving claims, communication with claimants, effectiveness of internal dispute resolution processes, and how insurances companies prepare for future major floods.
