A1	ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER STATEMENT

Inner West Council acknowledges the Gadigal and Wangal peoples of the Eora Nation, who are the 
traditional custodians of the lands in which the Inner West local government area is situated.

We celebrate the survival of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, heritage, beliefs and their 
relationship with the land and water. 

We acknowledge the continuing importance of this relationship to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander 
peoples living today, despite the devastating impacts of European invasion. 

We express our sorrow for past injustices and support the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders 
to self determination.  

Inner West Council understands our responsibilities and role in working with the Aboriginal community 
to promote cultural heritage and history, address areas of disadvantage, and protect and preserve the 
environment as well as sites of significance to Aboriginal peoples. 

In doing so, we acknowledge that Aboriginal cultures continue to strengthen and enrich our community. 

Today, diverse groups of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples live and work across Inner West. 

We admire the resilience displayed in their significant achievements and in making immense contributions
to both Council and the broader community. 

Inner West Council is committed to embedding the values and perspectives of the Aboriginal and Torres 
Strait Islander communities to ensure we learn from the mistakes of our past and forge a positive future 
of long-lasting value built on mutual respect, equality and opportunity.  

A2	MAYOR'S MESSAGE

As the first Mayor of Inner West, it is a pleasure to introduce our first Community Strategic Plan,  
"Our Inner West 2036"
. 
We’ve consulted closely with the community to identify your main goals and priorities for the future
 – and this will help our newly elected Councillors to refine our priorities for our coming term.

Real change takes time – that’s why this is an 18-year plan with long-term directions, outcomes 
and strategies. 

We’ve strived to address community priorities and needs, as well as complex problems that cross 
Council boundaries and involve all levels of government, businesses and the community. 

The Community Strategic Plan is not just about what Council needs to do – it’s bigger than that. 

It’s also about what needs to be done by, and for, the community.

We want to deliver real outcomes for our community in both the short and long term, and that 
will take initiative and purpose.

Council will contribute by:

a Completing our major projects to deliver essential community facilities such as parks,libraries, 
  aquatic centresand sporting fields

b Renewing our ageing infrastructure in a difficult financial environment 

c Maintaining our heritage while we plan appropriate and sensible development to sustain a growing 
   population

d Supporting businesses and industries to grow and thrive

e Opening opportunities for our arts and live music scene 

f Taking the lead in environment and renewable energy by developing strong environmental policies, 
  divesting from fossil fuels and expanding rooftop solar 

g Ensuring the continued availability of quality childcare and preparing for our ageing population

h Maintaining existing bushlands and building biodiversity corridors such as the GreenWay

i Standing firm and advocating on behalf of our community to the State and Federal governments on 
  issues that affect them such as health, transport and education

j Embracing new technologies to ensure that Council delivers its services in the most responsive, 
  effective and efficient way

Council’s direct responsibilities and the resources available to achieve them are shown in Inner West 
Council’s four year Delivery Program, annual Operational Plan and Budget, and Resourcing Strategy – 
all adopted by 30 June 2018.

I look forward to working with my fellow Councillors in supporting your goals, as outlined in Our Inner 
West 2036. 

We will make sure that Council’s plans and resources are focused on your priorities, and we will 
collaborate with various government agencies and community groups to achieve the outcomes 
presented in this plan.

Darcy Byrne
Inner West Mayor


A3	INNER WEST LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA

The Inner West local government area was established when Inner West formed on 12 May 2016, 
from the former councils of Ashfield, Leichhardt and Marrickville. 

Inner West Council has five wards: Ashfield, Balmain, Leichhardt, Marrickville, and Stanmore. 

Three councillors have been elected to represent  each ward. 

The Council area spans 36km2 from the banks of Parramatta River at Birchgrove in the north east,  
to the Cooks River at Dulwich Hill in the south west.

			e	Local Community Statistics

Inner West feels like home. 

Located on the western edge of the CBD and framed by the Parramatta and Cooks rivers, it’s a place 
of culturally diverse, progressive inner city communities and neighbourhoods. 

Our people value and respect each other’s languages, abilities, sexual orientations, traditions and 
lifestyles. 

Bound by a strong sense of social justice, everyone is welcome and can participate in local life. 

There is a strong sense of belonging. 

Our neighbourhoods have unique character and heritage, reflecting the waves of migrants that helped 
shape the neighbourhoods they called home. 

The density of housing and population gives Inner West its distinct vibrancy. Liveability is high, 
and it’s easy to get to and around through multiple options of active and public transport. 

Parks and open spaces provide relief from the urban environment and are ideal for active and quiet 
recreation. 

Busy urban centres and main streets are lively and accessible, and offer a range of quality shopping and 
places to gather.

 The street life connects the community and welcomes Sydneysiders and visitors who come to experience 
Inner West’s uniqueness. 

The night-time economy is thriving. 

As a hub of independent arts and strong artistic communities, Inner West is an incubator for new ideas, 
innovation and emerging technologies. 

It is a magnet for artists, writers, musicians, designers, filmmakers and knowledge workers seeking an 
inspiring atmosphere and space to live, work, visit and play in.

Existing bushland is home to native plants and species, including three threatened species – the Powerful 
Owl, Grey-headed Flying-fox and Eastern Bentwing-bat, one endangered population – the Long-nosed 
Bandicoot and the endangered Coastal Saltmarsh community. 

New biodiversity and active transport corridors such as the GreenWay, the Cooks River foreshore and the 
Bay Run link green infrastructure networks across Inner West. 

They provide ecological, economic, social and health benefits to the community.

We are a community of volunteers, helping to manage over 14,304 m2 (1.43 ha) of ecological restoration 
areas across Inner West and committing thousands of hours of time to biodiversity programs.
