From the Lord Mayor's Office
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.
Rock fishing is considered by many to be the most dangerous sports people can do.
No matter how waste-wise you are, it’s certainly the season for generating waste.
Secret's out – my inner child couldn’t be contained when I saw the new play space at Unanderra.
‘Tis the season for many a festive gathering and my favourite time of the year.
Earlier this week I joined Premier Chris Minns and local MPs as they announced State and Federal funding to establish the Illawarra Heavy Industry Manufacturing Centre of Excellence at TAFE NSW Wollongong.
The weather was hot and so was the competition at Woonona Beach this week as our city hosted the Australian Junior Surfing Titles.
It was certainly a humbling moment to be in the company of so many home-grown elite sports stars in Wollongong today.
