About Chloe

Chloe Smith is a lifelong Inner West resident currently renting in Petersham with her partner.

Growing up, Chloe attended local public schools and was active in the local netball club. After completing a university degree in International Studies and Government Relations, she worked for four and a half years as a policy and projects officer at the manufacturing workers’ union. Some of her proudest achievements include campaigning to invest in domestic manufacturing jobs and working with communities in the Hunter to transition away from coal.

Chloe currently works in a campaigns role. She is a passionate unionist, feminist, and advocate for social justice and quality public services. In her spare time, she enjoys barracking for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, watching Newtown Jets’ home games at Henson Park, and exploring our wonderful Inner West restaurants and cafés.

Chloe’s Priorities

Our Council should work for residents, delivering the best possible public services and getting the basics right. This includes managing our waste, maintaining our roads and footpaths, investing in our parks and recreation facilities, and protecting our green space.

It should also be a champion for the issues that matter to our community, showing the way on social justice and equality, meaningful action on climate change, multiculturalism and diversity, fair and transparent planning, and supporting our arts and culture sector.

Chloe’s key priorities include:

  • Revitalising our main streets and supporting our local economy, with an activation plan for every village across the Inner West.

  • Boosting our arts and creative industries, retaining the Inner West’s reputation as the heart of Sydney’s live music scene, and investing in public art and performance spaces.

  • Taking real and meaningful action on climate change at the local level, protecting and enhancing our tree canopy and our urban environment.

  • Ensuring that the Inner West keeps the diversity that makes our communities strong and inclusive, with equal access and respect for all regardless of income, age, gender, sexuality, disability, or culture.

The Inner West is a great place to live and work – let’s work together to make it even better.
