Information and advice

Council appointed the first Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advisory Panel on 15 December 2008. Made of community and industry professionals, the panel's members are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who live, work or study in the local area.

Each member brings a wealth of knowledge and skills to provide advice on matters of importance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. They provide advice to inform the policies of the City of Sydney and make a positive contribution to our relationship with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals, organisations and leaders.

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advisory Panel meet at least 6 times a year.
