Have you ever been to, or watched the livestream of a Wollongong City Council meeting?
Last Christmas, we asked those who were in a position to give to others, to consider putting a gift under the City of Wollongong Giving Tree.
It would be an understatement to say being an Illawarra Hawks fan has been a roller coaster ride over the years, both on and off the court. When you’re a Hawks tragic like me, you ride every climb, drop and sharp turn.
Last week, we launched Invest Wollongong’s 2025 Investment Prospectus in Sydney.
Wollongong Council is determined to deliver the Southern Suburbs Community Centre and Library for the residents of Warrawong and surrounding suburbs.
This Sunday, 26 January, is Australia Day.
As kids, no one wants to be called a goodie two shoes in the schoolyard.
It’s hard seeing the images and footage of the horrendous fires sweeping across California right now and to comprehend the huge scale of the event they’re experiencing.
Wollongong is a place we all love to live, play and work and, as locals, we know how much it has to offer.
It has been a busy three months in my role as Lord Mayor and I have been privileged to meet with a broad range of people and groups across our City.
