Decision details

Minute by the Lord Mayor

To Council:

I would like to inform Council about the passing of Mandy Mailey on Friday 27 September, 2019, who was a loved and respected member of the Pyrmont Community.

Mandy was best known for her contribution to the Pyrmont Community Centre and she was a caring person with a great sense of humour. She was a friend to our staff and a valuable and dedicated member of the local community.

Born in Northern Ireland, Mandy’s childhood was lived during ‘The Troubles’.  Her family moved temporarily to England before returning home. Mandy moved back to London as an adult, where she met and married Michael.

In the years that followed, the Mailey family relocated several times to Switzerland, France, Singapore, and finally to Australia.  Mandy became involved in the local community as soon as the family arrived in Pyrmont.

Mandy was a passionate volunteer over a number of years; she coordinated two playgroups, worked with local charity Pyrmont Cares, was an active member of ‘Pyrmont Players’, a community theatre group, and assisted with Christmas in Pyrmont, as well as events at the Pyrmont Community Centre.

I know that Mandy will be deeply missed by her family, friends, City of Sydney staff, and the Pyrmont community.

Recommendation

It is resolved that all persons present in the Chamber stand for one minute’s silence to mark the life of Mandy Mailey and her contribution to the Pyrmont community.
