Getting to the heart of local matters


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.


How does the Local Matters Forum work?


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 will be presented on at the forum include:

  • Building our Community Infrastructure consultation
  • Sydenham Road Strategy
  • Improving the inclusive playground in Steel Park
  • Improving streetscape along Princes Highway in Tempe and Sydenham
  • Henson Park Grandstand redevelopment
  • Robyn Webster Sports Centre upgrades
