Rainbow Flag Raising

Commencing in 2015, each year Randwick City Council raises a rainbow flag at Randwick Town Hall to celebrate the commencement of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival and to show support for the LGBTQIA+ community. The flag was flying proudly above Randwick Town Hall from Friday 14 Feb to Sunday 2 Mar 2025.

In 2022, the progressive pride flag was raised for the first time by Mayor Dylan Parker.

In house

Randwick City Council also promotes inclusivity and diversity in house e.g., staff training opportunities such as the Twenty10’s Prism LGBTIQA+ Training and employees can include pronouns in their email signatures.
