How can we make Waverley more accessible and inclusive for everyone? 💙

We’re developing Waverley’s next Disability Inclusion Action Plan and want to hear from people with disability, families, carers, service providers and the wider community.

Have your say by completing our online survey by 30 September and share your experiences, ideas and what you’d like to see change.

A community focus group will also be held for people with disability, families, carers and service providers to come together and share their thoughts.

One year on from the Bondi attack, we will come together to remember the lives lost and their loved ones, those injured, the survivors, and everyone who continues to carry the huge impact of that day.

This Chanukah, Sharing Light will bring 5,000 handmade clay vessels to Archer Park, each one glowing as the sun sets. Together, they will transform a place of tragedy into a place of remembrance, connection and hope.

Council is also beginning the work towards a permanent memorial, with the process guided by those who have been most deeply affected and the wider community.

It will take time and care to create something worthy of what has been lost - a place to remember, reflect and stand together. 🤍
