Our Town Centres are important places for our community. Council is working hard to activate our town centres and drive business and economic development to them, including creating new experiences for visitors and residents to enjoy.

To achieve this, the Town Centre Advisory Committee, established in August 2019, plays a vital role in the continual improvement of our town centres to ensure we have vibrant hubs for locals and visitors. Together we can build on our strong community spirit, connections to each other and our local identity, fostering a sense of Belonging within the community. 

Representation on this committee of Councillors, Council staff and community/business members helps to preserve the local identity of town centres and the individual needs of each community whilst encouraging sustainability and growth. 

The key to delivering for our community is ensuring our community is consulted, our Advisory Committees is just one of the many ways to enable this. 

We’re committed to strengthening our diverse population by creating new opportunities for connection, creativity, inclusion and opening the door to local sporting, community and cultural initiatives that strengthen our collective sense of self. We’ll work together to solve pressing social issues, to support those in need and to enhance community safety – and we’ll continue to acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture that shapes this corner of the world.
