Established in 2011, Serving Mosman is a non-aligned, independent party that seeks to advance the best interests of the Mosman community through the election of representatives to serve the community on Mosman Council. All Serving Mosman councillors adhere to the guiding principles of Service, Consultation, Inclusion and Accountability.

COUNCIL’S INDEPENDENCE

Serving Mosman was instrumental in leading the fight to protect Mosman’s independence. We remain dedicated to safeguarding our hard-fought local independence by ensuring Council remains truly democratic, transparent and unfettered by ‘big party’ politics.

THE ENVIRONMENT

In declaring a climate emergency in 2019, Serving Mosman has played a foundational role in protecting and preserving Mosman’s beautiful environment. We will continue our active stewardship and take every possible opportunity, in true partnership with the community, to safeguard current and future local generations from the adverse effects of environmental degradation. Council is on track to achieve net zero emissions before 2030 and we will continue to support Council’s objective to realise a 2040 community net zero goal.

PLANNING

A significant number of long-held planning principles are being abandoned by the State Government with their ‘one size fits all’ approach to increased density and housing supply. We recognise the need for density but respect the community’s desire to retain the beautiful character, heritage and amenity of our local area. In response, we will continue to advocate with every level of Government in the quest to find a sensible solution for Mosman.

TRAFFIC & TRANSPORT

Serving Mosman will continue to actively advocate for better traffic and transport solutions. This follows the Government’s cancellation of the Beaches Link Tunnel. Boosting public and active transport to reduce traffic congestion and make our local streets safer is one of our priorities.

RESPECTFUL & SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENTS

Serving Mosman is committed to ensuring a safe, healthy and respectful work environment. In the next term of Council, Serving Mosman will advocate for the inclusion of a drug and alcohol policy in Council’s Code of Meeting Practice.

INCLUSION

Serving Mosman continues to embrace and celebrate diversity by fostering a community where everyone feels valued and included, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, age, or ability. We will actively advocate for and support initiatives that promote good health and well-being, ensuring that all voices are heard and encouraging representation and participation from every member of our community.

YOUTH VOICE

Our youth are our future, and their perspectives are important to shaping the community we want to build. Serving Mosman will ensure youth representation on Council to foster stronger connections and elevate young voices in decision-making.

DIGITAL INNOVATION

Serving Mosman is committed to continuing to embrace digital technologies to improve council services and community engagement. While ensuring data privacy, this may include smart city initiatives to enhance efficiency, connectivity, and sustainability. We also remain committed to providing digital literacy programs to ensure all residents can benefit from new technologies.

ARTS, CULTURE & SMALL BUSINESS

Preserving, fostering and celebrating Mosman’s unique cultural heritage through funding and resourcing community events, festivals and public arts projects remains a key priority for Serving Mosman. We will continue to actively support our resilient and loyal small businesses who play such a pivotal role in maintaining our precious village culture.

HERITAGE GRANTS

Our heritage is one of the many aspects that makes Mosman the beautiful suburb it is, reflecting the rich history and charm that define our community. Serving Mosman is committed to preserving and enhancing our village's unique character by reinstating heritage grants for our shopfronts. These grants will not only help maintain the aesthetic and historical integrity of our area but will also support local businesses in preserving the distinctive architectural features that make Mosman so special. By investing in our heritage, we ensure that future generations can enjoy the same beauty and sense of place that we do today.

COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

Serving Mosman will ensure the vision of a new and upgraded library, youth and learning centres, and community hub becomes a reality. We are committed to thoughtful design and planning to bring these projects to life.

COMPANION ANIMALS & PETS

Encouraging and reinforcing the responsible management of pets for the benefit of the community is an important part of Council’s work. Serving Mosman is committed to advocating for and supporting the introduction by the NSW Government of companion animals and pet travel initiatives in the new Council term and will review Council policies to enhance pet enjoyment & community harmony.
