Cr John-Paul Baladi, Mayor of Strathfield

Dear Residents,

Council remains committed to assisting residents with obtaining their Strathfield Select Parking Permits and has scheduled additional one-on-one sessions at Strathfield Library. If you still haven't obtained your permit, head over to the Library on 23 and 30 July between 1pm - 4pm along with your required documentation. More information is available here.

I'll be at Homebush Village (corner of Rochester St and Burlington Rd) this Sunday from 10am - 1pm for my monthly Mayoral Street Meeting. Please feel free to say hello and share your feedback on things that matter to you and our community.

As always, if you have a local concern or idea you’d like to share, you can reach me on 0478 054 241 or at cr.jpbaladi@strathfield.nsw.gov.au.

💙 Donate to Council's Homelessness Food Appeal 💙

Strathfield Council’s Homelessness Food Appeal is our way to help our local charities support the vulnerable in our community, as well as raise awareness about this concerning issue affecting over 122,000 Australians on any given night.

To help raise awareness during Homelessness Week (4 - 10 August 2025) Council is calling out to all residents to please donate non-perishable food for our diverse community. Donation collection sites are available at Strathfield Council Library and Strathfield Council Customer Service from Tuesday 29th July until Tuesday 12th August.

These will be donated directly to local charities, St Paul’s Church and St Merkorious Charity.

Thank you for making a difference.

Villers Brett, 33 High Street, Strathfield

This cottage was built on Lot 96 of the Emerald Hills Estate in 1914 by George Lusted. After WWI it was purchased by (Patrick) James McCourt and his wife, Hilda. McCourt had enlisted with the 1^st Light Horse Regiment in 1915, aged 18, and served with several artillery brigades in France. After the village of Villers-Bretonneux was captured by the Germans on 23-24 April 1918, two Australian brigades were given the task of taking it back. Their surprise night-time attack began on 24 April. By dawn on Anzac Day, the AIF had succeeded but 1200 Australian lives had been lost.
