Topics
Gambling harm advocacy
Council endorsed a submission to the Local Government NSW 2026 Annual Conference supporting fewer poker machines, a midnight-to-10am statewide shutdown, a statewide self-exclusion register and publication of venue-level gambling data.
This is advocacy rather than a direct local regulatory change, but it seeks stronger gambling safeguards affecting Inner West communities.
LGNSW conference motions
Council endorsed motions for submission to the 2026 Local Government NSW Conference.
The motions allow Council to advocate on issues affecting Cabonne through the state local-government sector.
