The City of Port Phillip is deeply saddened and horrified by the mass shooting at Bondi Beach tonight.
While the background to this tragic event is currently unclear, we do know that it happened as celebrations were underway to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah - the Jewish Festival of Lights.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to all those affected, including the victims and their families, NSW police and first responders and Waverley Council.
We are also sending our love and thoughts to Jewish people who will be profoundly impacted by this horrific event.
This includes our local Jewish community which is still reeling from the terrorist arson attack on the Addass Israel Synagogue in Ripponlea just over a year ago.
We condemn this tragedy and continue to stand with everyone affected by this latest incomprehensible attack on innocent people.
The City of Port Phillip will continue to work closely with our community to provide support wherever possible.
