From the Lord Mayor's Office
If there is one word that I’ve been using a lot lately it’s community.
As Lord Mayor, it continues to be a great privilege to spend time out in our community and to join in the many multicultural and sporting events that we enjoy here in Wollongong.
If there’s one thing that unites many of us, it’s the shared appreciation of a long weekend.
