Inner West Local™
You’re part of something beautiful here.
Inner West Local™ is a tiny, proud project stitching a visible thread of connection across the Inner West — one wattle mark, one local story, one listing at a time.
ABOUT
Inner West Local™ makes belonging visible. A small hand-painted wattle on a private wall. A living directory of cafés, makers, services and stories. One quiet mark that says “you’re in good company,” one page that says “this is us.”
It began with one wattle in View Street, Annandale. Neighbours noticed. Friends and local businesses did too. A simple, hand-painted hello that reminded us we’re connected — by the streets we share, the work we do, and the lives we build here.
WHAT WE DO
THE DIRECTORY
A curated map of locals worth knowing — cafés, shops, trades, community hubs.
What we believe
Community first. People over clicks.
Local craft matters. Good work, done with care, deserves attention.
Low noise, high trust. Fewer, better signals. No spam.
Permission & respect. Private property only, with clear consent.
Small is powerful. A tiny mark can change how a street feels.
Who this is for
Residents who want to feel at home in their suburb.
Locals who make, fix or serve — craft over hype.
Anyone who believes place still matters.

A note from Inner West Local™
This project is designed to pay its way without getting loud. Listings keep the lights on. The wattle stays small. The promises stay human.
