Commission holds consultations in north and south suburbs of Sydney.

The Community Consultation at Gymea

The Commission has held community consultations; in Crows Nest and Gymea as part of its on-going programme of visits to different regions of Sydney.

Commission staff and commissioners took part in the meetings with local community members from across a broad spectrum of society.

The Chair of the Commission, Stepan Kerkyasharian, said: “It is invaluable for us to hear at first hand the views of ordinary members of the public.

Each area has very particular views and needs which we must analyse and feed into our decision-making processes. 

The Commission is required by legislation to consult widely and systematically. Suburban meetings are an important part of meeting that requirement.”
