Help from Waverley Council

An emergency meeting of Waverley Council has been convened to decide on immediate and longer-term supports for the Jewish community following Sunday’s devastating terrorist attack.

Among the measures is a $100,000 financial commitment from Council’s operating budget towards community organisations providing direct support to affected members of the Jewish community.

“This recognises the immense impact of this despicable and barbaric attack on the Jewish community,” Waverley Mayor Will Nemesh said.

“Together, we must stand firm together in solidarity to honour the victims and support each other during this tragic time.”

The Council will resolve to make available a dedicated community space where affected members of the Jewish community can gather to seek comfort and connection.

All flags on Council buildings will be at half-mast for two weeks.

Bondi Beach is within the municipality.
