A statement from the Mayor
Statement from the Mayor of Mosman, Ann Marie Kimber regarding the Bondi Beach terror attack
Mosman Council and the Mosman community are deeply shocked and saddened by the terrible events that occurred at Bondi Beach. Our thoughts are with the Bondi community, the family and friends of victims and all first responders who cared for the injured and provided lifesaving care. Many in the wider community are understandably distressed and saddened by this terrible act of violence that has been perpetrated against people gathering for a joyful celebration of faith.
Our thoughts are particularly with the Jewish community who have been targeted in this heinous attack.
Mosman prides itself on being an inclusive and welcoming community and we wholly reject all acts of violence. We stand with communities of all faiths in condemning this senseless act of antisemitism and hate.
Council’s flags have been lowered to half mast and I encourage all community members to keep the victims in their thoughts and prayers.
I encourage anyone who is experiencing difficulty at this time or is struggling with the events at Bondi to reach out for support.
