From the Lord Mayor's Office
I have such faith in the generation of young people and the things that they will achieve in their lifetime.
The Business Papers for next Monday’s Council Meeting are available and it’s a huge agenda covering a diverse range of topics.
This week I had the absolute pleasure of joining a special morning tea to acknowledge the vital contributions of some of the city’s hardworking volunteers.
I am no stranger to walking the halls of NSW Parliament House to advocate for those who call Wollongong home.
This week, I had the pleasure of dropping in on Council’s north works crew and talking with the team who are working on the latest leg of the Grand Pacific Walk in Austinmer.
It’s a pretty sobering statistic, but around one in five Australians have a disability.
In my time as Lord Mayor – and even before that – I’ve made no secret of the fact that I think Wollongong would be a great option as the next cruise terminal for NSW.
We’re asking our community to tell us what we got right in this year’s draft Delivery Program 2025-2029 and Operational Plan 2026-2027.
If there is one word that I’ve been using a lot lately it’s community.
