From the Lord Mayor's Office
In 1988 Wollongong City established a Sister City Relationship with Kawasaki City in Japan, formed on the mutual experience of a downturn in heavy industry around that time.
I just can’t wipe the smile off my face!
I am absolutely thrilled for the current and future residents of West Dapto that the NSW Government has announced the location of the New West Dapto Primary School, including a public preschool on Shone Avenue, Wongawilli.
Late last year, I welcomed a delegation of leaders from Kawaski City who had travelled from Japan to learn more about our city.
Anyone who knows me, knows how much the Illawarra Hawks mean to me.
Tomorrow the flags will once again fly at all 17 of Council’s patrolled beaches marking the start of another summer swim season.
What a treat it was to be part of Wollongong’s diverse community on Saturday!
At Monday night’s Council meeting, Council endorsed two strategic documents that will help guide the future success and prosperity of Wollongong and our region.
One of the things that makes Wollongong such a great place to live is the wide range of events and activities that make the weekends (and weekdays sometimes, too) something to really look forward to.
Calling all contemporary artists! It’s time to stand bold in your work and enter our reimagined Wollongong Art Prize.
