PRIME Minister Scott Morrison has announced he and his family will trade his beloved Sutherland Shire home at Port Hacking for the north side as they relocate to the stately surrounds of Kirribilli House.
Mr Morrison told his Cook constituents in a mailout on Tuesday afternoon their Port Hacking home would not work in his new role as Prime Minister.
“For security and convenience, the sensible thing for us to do as a family is to relocate to Kirribilli House, which is set up for the job,” Mr Morrison said.
“This will also be more convenient for our neighbours, who we will miss.”
The Prime Minister was quick to assure residents his family’s home would always be in the Shire.
“Our involvement in the local community will continue,” the Prime Minsister said.
“Our church, the girls‘ sport and school, swimming at Wanda, Shark Park, movies at Miranda, all of this will stay the same.”

Mr Morrison said his Shire residence was a typical family home.
“It has a mortgage, it needs a bit of work, and has no front fence,” he said.
“Neighbours and friends have always been able to just walk up and say hello as we’ve sat on the front veranda and that’s how we like it.
“Our home is where our best family memories are: barbecues, birthdays, curry nights with friends and family.”
The Prime Minister said it had always been an incredible honour to serve his Cook electorate and thanked constituents for their kind notes, texts, letter, emails, cards and hugs.
“I will take the lessons and values of our community into the job,” he said.
“I won’t let you down.”
