We the people of Wollongong are determined:
- to ensure the right of all our community to enjoy equal rights and be treated with equal respect, regardless of colour, race, ethnicity, creed or religion;
- to support an immigration policy wholly non-discriminatory on grounds of colour, race, ethnicity, creed or religion;
- to support the process of reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People in the context of redressing their profound social and economic disadvantage;
- to maintain Wollongong as a culturally diverse tolerant and open society, united by an overriding commitment to our nation and its democratic institutions and values;
- to denounce racial intolerance in any form as incompatible with the kind of community we are and want to be.
And to these ends we will:
- actively promote the benefits of a cohesive, multicultural society;
- support the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation’s vision for a united Australia and local declarations of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples
- promote access and equity in service provision for all members of the community;
- address wherever possible the special needs of disadvantaged groups.
