Progressive, stable and corruption free leadership

Our strong financial position has enabled delivery of an extensive capital works program, whilst keeping rates amongst the lowest in metropolitan Sydney, and we provide free rates to pensioners. We have delivered budget surpluses every year since 2004.

Action on climate change has been a key priority. We committed in 2008 to reduce our emissions by 70% by 2030 and have now achieved that goal nine years early in 2021. Our operations are powered by 100% renewable electricity.

We have created new parkland, open space and extended harbour foreshore walks, increasing city open space by 24 hectares, with another 14 hectares in the pipeline.

And we have spent over $300 million on park renewals and upgraded playgrounds.

We have delivered world-class pools and community facilities, investing in 2.2 billion in public infrastructure since 2004.

We stared down a hostile press and other vested interests to deliver over 15.4km of separated cycleways, over 60km of shared paths and 40km of other cycling infrastructure.

Our focus on design excellence has ensured we have better buildings and parks, and more liveable streetscapes.

We will continue to work toward a Covid-safe economic recovery, and help our businesses, creatives and vulnerable communities through increased cost-of-living pressures.

Our work in transforming Sydney is vital and ongoing and we ask for your continuing support.
