Banyule City Councillors are due to consider a diversity policy when they meet for their monthly meeting on Monday night (July 27).

It iss being suggested that a Diversity Statement be adopted:
“Banyule is a diverse community, made up of people from different cultures, beliefs, abilities, bodies, ages, sexualities, genders and
identities. Council is committed to inclusion, access and equity for everyone. These principles foster cohesiveness, empower people
and improve the wellbeing of the Banyule Community.”

It is also suggested that the Council endorse the use of the Diversity Statement for a trial period August 2020 to July 2021 and receives a further report on the findings and any recommendations from the evaluation.
