Inner West Council invites you to join ward Councillors and Council Executive staff at your Local Matters Forum. These forums provide an opportunity for residents to have a constructive conversation with elected representatives and senior staff and to raise ideas for improvements to your area.

Collectively we can continue to improve the way Council delivers for our local communities.

Since June 2022 Council has delivered 16 Local Matters Forums across Inner West. In response to community feedback collected at each forum, the format has evolved. At the end of 2023 we've reviewed and updated the forums to ensure they meet community needs and continue to be relevant.

Council’s Executive staff (Inner West General Manager and four Directors) will present some of the major local initiatives happening in your ward and answer community questions from the floor. There will also be opportunity for informal discussions with the Executive and your three ward Councillors.

Projects that Council officers will present on at the Forum include:

• Rollout of public Electric Vehicle charging stations
• Balmain Tigers Leagues Club site rezoning proposal
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Survival Memorial, Illoura Reserve
• White Bay Power Station as an arts and cultural venue
• Jazz in the Park, Gladstone Park
• King George Park inclusive playground, Rozelle
