22.01.2022 Update on the beach club proposal on Bondi Beach: Council is assessing a modified proposal for a beach club on Bondi Beach from a commercial operator. The propo...sal is for a section of Bondi Beach to be utilised for the commercial activity of a beach club between February and May 2021. Due to the proposed length of the proposal, Council last night advised the applicant that in addition to an application under Council’s Events Policy, a Development Application (DA) for both the proposed activity and the related structure is legally required. The Mayor of Waverley, Paula Masselos said Council will ensure proper process is followed when assessing the modified proposal for a beach club. Waverley Council is a public entity, and as such is required to assess all proposals put forward under the relevant laws and policies with an open mind. In this instance, there is a legal requirement for a DA to be submitted in addition to the requirement for an application under Council’s Events Policy, said Mayor Masselos. It is important that Council follow proper process in assessing this proposal. While there are various views on the proposal being aired, anyone has the right to submit a proposal. While as a matter of principle, the regulatory and policy settings are geared towards beaches and open spaces being there to be enjoyed freely by everyone, this proposal needs to be properly assessed against those laws and policies so that the appropriate determinations can be made. I note that if the Applicant submits a valid DA, there will be a period of community consultation as part of that process. That would give the community the chance to formally submit their views on the proposal.

12.01.2022 This morning at 11am, Wednesday 11 November, we paused for a minutes silence to observe the Armistice that ended World War 1 and to commemorate the loss of Aust...ralian lives during this war, and all other wars and conflicts. Remembrance Day has special significance in Waverley, where, on 15 December 1918, The Right Honourable, Sir Ronald Ferguson, Governor General of the Commonwealth of Australia, unveiled the Waverley Great Memorial, known to many as the Waverley Cenotaph, at Waverley Park, in honour of the many brave soldiers who died in conflict. Lest we forget.

06.01.2022 Congratulations to Jo Biden on becoming the 46th President of the United States of America and to Kamala Harris, the first woman and first woman of colour, on becoming the US vice President. This is a stunning victory for progressive leadership. Biden and Harris' vision, decency, compassion, inclusive values, belief in science and most of hope for the future should see a healing and the rebuilding of a divided country. Congratulations to the American people. Australia is next.
