The City is committed to building the capacity of the local community through community development strategies and initiatives, all with the aim of making the City a great place to live.
The Community Development team works in partnership with residents, community organisations and business operators to develop community-driven sustainable projects.
The team is a link between Council and the community, and can offer assistance in many areas, including community skills training, funding opportunities, event management, creating networks, linking people to services, volunteering and advocating on behalf of the community.
