Woollahra Council is committed to reconciliation and building greater understanding and respect among all people who live, work in and visit Woollahra. As part of this commitment, on 27 March Council resolved to support the Voice to Parliament (the Yes Vote) and the Uluru Statement from the Heart.


Our support for the Yes Vote will involve educating the Woollahra community on what a Voice will mean for Indigenous people and Australian society as a whole, providing a platform for First Nations voices to be heard and consultation with Indigenous organisations including the La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council and the Gujaga Foundation.

Woollahra Municipal Council will hold a new tender process to find an operator for the Cooper Park tennis courts in Woollahra following strong opposition to a proposal to share the facility with other sports.


Councillors this month rejected the advice of council staff to hand a seven-year lease to Sydney Sports Management Group, which operates a number of tennis centres and displayed “a better program of multi-court uses”.

Woollahra councillor Harriet Price said she did not like the term NIMBY but some submissions opposing the plan for multi-use courts suggested “a sense of ownership when in fact the courts are public facilities”.


“In response to community concern, councillors opted to exclude multipurpose use as a selection criteria for Cooper Park and due to this change, it was considered prudent to invite fresh tenders,” a council spokesman said.
