Overview
- Councillors will meet on Thursday for an extraordinary session to consider next steps on the northern footbridge at Bondi Park, with no final decision expected.
- A mayoral minute seeks a staff report detailing cost, timetable and approvals for replacing or restoring both heritage-listed pedestrian bridges.
- The northern bridge served as a vantage point in the December 14 antisemitic attack that killed 15 people and injured many others.
- Council says any outcome will follow consultation with the Jewish community, the broader Waverley community, victims' families and the NSW government, and families have been invited to attend.
- Related measures up for consideration include relocating a planned basketball half court away from the attack site, dedicating Sea Wall mural space and a Bondi Pavilion exhibition, proposing honours for named heroes and victims, and maintaining a temporary menorah memorial at Archer Park while the state leads talks on a permanent tribute.
