LGBTIQA+ COMMUNITY
The City of Vincent is proud to recognise and support our LGBTIQA+ community.
LGBTIQA+ is an umbrella term that encompasses many groups, including those who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer and other sex, sexuality and gender diverse people. The City recognises that these groups represent a diverse range of people and that intersectionality also affects the experiences and needs of many individuals in these groups.
The City has a Community Development officer who works with LGBTIQA+ groups and individuals to support their work within Vincent and to deliver LGBTIQA+ events and projects for both our staff and the community. Pride Fair Day at Hyde Park is one of the key events we are proud to support in partnership with Pride WA.
Along with a commitment to provide direct and indirect support to our LGBTIQA+ community, the City operates using the overall vision for a vibrant 24 hour city whose ‘diverse population is supported in their innovative endeavours by a council that says YES!’ (City of Vincent Strategic Community Plan 2022-2032).
The City is a member of the Welcome Here Project. 'Welcome Here' stickers are displayed at our Library and Local History Centre, Beatty Park Leisure Centre and City of Vincent Administration buildings as a visual reminder that these are safe and inclusive spaces for the LGBTIQA+ community.
