Who are we?

The Sydney Alliance in Cumberland consists of leaders from religious and community groups who have come together around issues of the common good in the Cumberland Local Government Area. We are non-partisan and passionate about working together for the common good.

We seek a positive relationship with those elected to represent our communities. One built on trust, cooperation and accountability.

Since March 2020, our leaders have been listening deeply within our communities and are keen to find realistic, concrete solutions to the emerging issues in our area, including;

• Practical support for community engagement and multiculturalism in our community,
• Provision of affordable housing,
• Concern for the most vulnerable in our community including international students and people seeking asylum.

Please include your organisation(s) & division in the information:
