Have your say on the Inner West Pride Centre
Friday, 8 March 2019
Inner West Council wants to hear from residents on what services it could offer and ways of making it safe and accessible to the community.
Council will also work with community groups, service providers, agencies and other stakeholders with one option for the Pride Centre being a co-location model where support services in conjunction with wellbeing programs are based in the same building, along with social spaces and community resources.
“The Inner West is home to a large and vibrant LGBTIQ community. They are a strong and vocal part of our community and have played a role in shaping the character of our area,” said Inner West Mayor Darcy Byrne.
“We want to make sure we get this initiative right and that’s why it is so important to hear from the community about what it envisions for a Pride Centre. We want the Inner West to have the first Pride Centre in Australia.”
To have your say, take the Pride Centre Visioning Survey. Survey closes on 24 March.
Council identified the need for a Pride Centre in 2017 and commissioned a report, resolving the following year to progress the project. Council is also being guided by direct feedback from its Rainbow Roundtable forum which prioritised the need for diverse wellbeing and health support programs and services to be locally accessible for LGBTIQ communities.
