Local Government Week is designed to showcase the work councils do in their communities, including the wide variety of services they provide.
The week aims to help move the conversation beyond roads, rates and rubbish, to the important and far-reaching role councils play as the hubs of their community. As a sector we are responsible for pools, parks and playgrounds, libraries, local festivals and lighting, cemeteries, community infrastructure and much more.
Monday 3 to Sunday 9 August 2026
More information to come.
This year, Griffith City Council is using the week to say thank you to the selfless volunteers who support Council and to highlight some of the services and facilities the community enjoys.
Council will hold a Thank You Lunch to honour the unwavering commitment of our facility volunteers and numerous Committee members who generously give their time.
