From the Lord Mayor's Office
Earlier this week, I had the immense pleasure of attending the annual Illawarra Refugee Challenge at Figtree High School.
Last week I attended the Australian Local Government Conference in Canberra along with the Deputy Lord Mayor and Councillors Richard Martin, Jess Whittaker and Thomas Quinn.
Every day I have the good fortune of meeting people from all walks of life who all contribute – in their own way – to making Wollongong the fantastic city it is.
