As Sydney prepares to host the WorldPride 2023, Northern Beaches Council is commencing a long-term plan to make sustained and meaningful change.
Council is seeking expressions of interest to form a LGBTQIA+ working group to identify strategies to make the Beaches increasingly safe, inclusive and welcoming for all.
Mayor Michael Regan said the new working group is an ideal way to create a safer and more inclusive place, and to generate positive culture change over the longer term.
“We value lived experience, the voices of young people and people with strong connections to the local LGBTQIA+ community,” Mayor Regan said.
The LGBTQIA+ working group will comprise a diverse group of community members across Council’s five wards (Pittwater, Narrabeen, Frenchs Forest, Curl Curl and Manly). This group will include up to two community members per Council ward and up to three representatives from local community organisations.
Expressions of interest will close on Tuesday 28 February. For more information, visit Northern Beaches Council website.
