Acknowledgement of country

Georges River Council acknowledges the Bidjigal people of the Eora Nation, who are the Traditional Custodians of all lands, waters and sky in the Georges River area. Council recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as an integral part of the Georges River community and values their social and cultural contributions. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who live work and meet on these lands.

July to December 2022

The Georges River area is known as a clean, green and welcoming place with beautiful and accessible bushland and waterways.

It offers a diversity of active, connected places and heritage areas that we can plan for in collaboration with our community.

People attend many events and activities and can access a choice of housing and a mix of jobs and economic opportunities near where they live.

In short, our vision is:

Naturally connected to place, community and country.

The six pillars of our Community Strategic Plan that we are working to achieve are:

• Our community

• Our green environment

• Our economy

• Our built environment

• Our place in Sydney

• Our governance

This report details some of the programs and projects we delivered during 2022 which contribute to delivering our community’s visions for the future.
