Council is committed to reducing homelessness. We work with local services to support our community members who are sleeping rough.
We’ve reviewed and updated the draft Homelessness Policy that was last adopted in 2022. The Homelessness Policy outlines Council’s approach to working with people experiencing homelessness.
The Policy identifies our role to improve access to services, facilities and safety for members of our community experiencing homelessness. It guides our staff on how we will support other levels of government and service providers when engaging with people experiencing homelessness who may use public spaces.
We've consulted Council staff and local service providers to refine the Policy, making it clearer and aligned with best practice.
In person at the GovHub pop-up stall on Friday 14 August, 11am-1pm at Orana Community Centre - 3a Stapleton Ave, Sutherland
Phone 9710 0892 (during business hours)
In writing to 'Sutherland Shire Council, Community Impact Team, Locked Bag 17, Sutherland 1499'.
Next steps
Following community consultation, Council will review and consider all feedback. Some changes may be made to the Policy. It will then be finalised and reported to Council for adoption. We will keep interested members of the community updated.
