Decisions
Bondi Junction Vision and Master Plan to be publicly exhibited
Council resolved to publicly exhibit the draft Bondi Junction Vision and Master Plan for five weeks, hold public information sessions and a precinct briefing, place the draft in the Waverley Library foyer, and receive a follow-up report after exhibition.
Residents and businesses in Bondi Junction will be able to review the draft plan and give feedback on future development, streets and public spaces.
Bondi Road public domain and placemaking study approved
Council approved the scope, methodology, timeline and estimated cost of a Bondi Road Public Domain Improvement and Placemaking Study, with an external consultant to be appointed by end of July 2026 and a final report to follow the study.
This sets up planning work that may affect streetscape upgrades, traffic movement and public-space improvements on Bondi Road.
High impact events program endorsed for 2026-27
Council approved the program of major events for 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, including Bondi Festival, City2Surf, Festival of the Winds, Sculpture by the Sea and New Year’s Eve events.
Residents can expect event-related activity, closures, parking impacts and local economic benefits across the year.
Draft 2026–27 budget, fees and long-term financial plan exhibited
Council agreed to publicly exhibit the draft Pricing Policy, Fees and Charges 2026–27, draft Budget 2026–27 and draft Long Term Financial Plan for 28 days. It also brought forward $200,000 for the Bondi Road Streetscape Master Plan.
Residents and businesses can review and comment on proposed fees, budget priorities and long-term spending plans.
Council Chambers borrowing decision deferred
Council deferred consideration of borrowing $17.45 million for redevelopment of the Council Chambers site until August 2026, pending a report on the future of the site in the context of the Bondi Junction Master Plan.
This delays a major borrowing decision and links the site’s future to broader Bondi Junction planning.
Landslip remediation priorities approved
Council approved a prioritised program for coastal landslip remediation including North Bronte Park, Rodney Reserve and South Bondi, and allocated $420,000 in a 2025–26 budget adjustment to begin the North Bronte Park cliff collapse works.
This affects public safety, access and infrastructure protection in coastal and cliff areas.
North Bondi village and bus terminus concept design approved
Council approved the concept design for the North Bondi Shops and Bus Terminus Upgrade and authorised progression to detailed design, including footpath treatments, slab renewal, landscaping and line marking.
Residents, bus users and traders in North Bondi can expect staged streetscape and access improvements.
ANZAC Day 2026 event funding approved
Council approved an ANZAC Day 2026 event in Bondi with attendance by invitation and open to the public, with ticket costs structured as donations to the Unite for Bondi – Bondi Terror Attack Appeal, and allocated up to $160,000 for delivery.
This funds a significant public commemorative event and links participation to a local appeal.
