Local Government Week 2009
 Keeping it Local
Local Government Week runs from 3 to 9 August 2009. The Week provides a focus for Byron Shire Council to promote the importance of Local Government in the community.
The 2009 theme is ‘Keeping it Local’
As the third tier of Government, local councils often are seen as the providers of basic services only, but in truth are often the lynchpin in working with the community to provide leisure parks and environmental activities, cultural projects and special events, Australia Day ceremonies and community education.
Come along and visit the visual display set up in Council’s administration building to find out how Council is working with local residents to nurture ‘our backyard'. |
