Sydney Alliance State Election Assembly

February 28th, Morley Centre, Westmead

Thanks to the team at Signalbox for filming the Assembly. Click here for a video catching the reactions of people and politicians to this event.   

In a Nutshell:

After the assembly both major parties have committed to:

• End ‘no grounds’ evictions during periodic tenancies; those renters in a periodic agreement won’t fear an eviction for asking repairs. 

• Start consultation on introducing minimum mandatory energy efficiency standards in rental homes: so, we can start the process of having energy efficient homes, reducing our energy consumption and therefore our energy bills.

• Radically boost the supply of social and affordable housing so that key workers and the growing number of people experiencing homelessness have a place to call home.

• Any new social and affordable housing homes delivered through development partnerships remain so in perpetuity, meaning without a time-bound unless there is an opportunity to develop more social homes.

• Meet with Sydney Alliance partner organisations in the first 100 days after forming government to discuss the issues facing temporary migrants and once a year during the next term, in a public assembly, both said they would be honored to do so.

  Well done to the hundreds of leaders who contributed in so many different ways, big and small

  Following the election, the Alliance is focused on following up these commitments with the NSW Labor Government.
