Local Government Week 2010
Local Government Week -- Monday 2 to Sunday 8 August 2010 -- is an opportunity for residents to learn about the wide range of services and facilities that Council provides - from libraries, to environmental initiatives, childrens services, aquatic centres, parks, town centres, footpaths, road works and supporting our community with facilities and events.
People are often unaware of what we do or what services are available to them or their families. Local Government is one of the most important levels of Government. As a Council we work on the ground, directly with the community, able to listen to and serve the needs of our residents. We deliver many of the services that make a community - from libraries to environmental initiatives, children's services, aquatic centres, parks, town centres, footpaths, roadworks and supporting our community with facilities and events.
