Chetan Sahai
Candidate for City of Sydney
Hi, I’m Chetan. I’m an engineer and climate activist who calls Alexandria home. Now, I’ve put my hand up to be one of your Greens candidates for the City of Sydney.
In a city as rich as ours, no one should struggle to keep a roof over their head and food on the table. Yet as the cost of living crisis worsens and rents soar ever upwards, our leaders sit by and watch, instead of taking bold, transformative action to support our community.
And that’s why I’m running to join our Mayoral candidate, Councillor Sylvie Ellsmore, as part of an expanded Greens team. Because The Greens have a plan to build a Sydney for all of us.
The Greens will build accessible, rent-capped public homes, power our city with cheap, clean, renewable energy, and make our city more affordable by expanding services like early childhood education.

OUR PLANS AND PRIORITIES
Housing Affordability and Edgecliff Strategy
Greens Councillors were pleased to approve the Edgecliff Centre Strategy to bring a coordinated approach to the uplift in this commercial centre and deliver more affordable housing
Climate Change and No Nuclear
2023 was the hottest year on record for the planet and indicators from global weather events are that climate change is more advanced than the most grim prediction.
Referendum
On 14 September residents will be asked to approve a reduction in councillors from 15 to 9, noting this will result in a likely reduction of wards from 5 to 3.
TOGETHER, WE’RE POWERFUL.
People want strong action on the cost of living and climate crises, and a council that represents their values.
