Local Government Week

Local Government Week is designed to showcase the work councils do in their local communities, including the wide variety of services they provide.

Griffith City Council successfully celebrated Local Government Week from July 31 to August 6 2023, witha diverse range of activities catering to all residents.

The week-long event was a chance to learn more about Council's functions and the wide array of services it provides to the community.

Council Café, held at Griffith Central on Friday, saw a good turnout where attendees learned about the proposed Special Rate Variation while enjoying giveaways including seeds, cookies, and coffee vouchers.

Council also recognised the unwavering commitment of its facility volunteers, rewarding them with a special morning tea.

Local Government Week highlighted the dedication of Council staff members, who were featured on social media. Fun facts about some of the popular Council facilities were shared to engage the community. Griffith City Library actively participated in the week, showcasing the diverse range of services they offer.

Throughout the week Griffith Regional Aquatic Leisure Centre provided free exercise classes for residents to experience and enjoy.

All primary schools in the Griffith Local Government Area were given a gift card to purchase books or educational supplies.

Overall, Local Government Week 2023 was a resounding success, fostering community engagement and promoting creative learning while highlighting the essential services provided by Council.

Activity Booklet

As part of Local Government Week celebrations Council has created an Activity Booklet.

The purpose of our Activity Booklet is to provide some creative, fun and inspiring things to do at home following a visit to one, or more, of Griffith City Council's facilities. Although these resources are aimed for primary school-aged children, anyone is welcome to access them. After all, we love to encourage creative learning and exploration across all ages!
