From the Lord Mayor's Office
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.
Wow did Wollongong put on a show last weekend for the Yours and Owls Festival at Flagstaff Hill.
I always enjoy walking through the doors in Wollongong Art Gallery and visiting this beautiful and calm space.
The Illawarra Shoalhaven is the fastest growing region in the state, expected to reach a population of over 575,000 people by 2041.
