From the Lord Mayor's Office
As Lord Mayor it’s a great privilege to meet with local people from all walks of life and attend all sorts of community events.
Anyone who holds the belief that Council is just roads, rates and rubbish, should take a look at the suite of planning documents that Council endorsed for public consultation on Monday night.
If you only visit the Wollongong Botanic Garden one time this year, make sure it’s over the next month.
Over the past decade, Wollongong City Council has invested more than $100M in researching, designing, upgrading and building new roads, bridges, paths and stormwater structures in West Dapto.
Well, the Illawarra Hawks certainly didn’t miss their shot! They’re the 2025 NBL Champions, and they’ve made the whole city proud.
Council is continually exploring opportunities to ensure that land in our Local Government Area is put to its best use.
My thoughts are with our local Macedonian community
Have you heard the news? Culture Mix is back for 2025!
While we should never need a dedicated festival as an excuse to get out and be active, the NSW Senior’s Festival is a great enabler.
