Message from the Mayor

I am proud to present Georges River Council’s Delivery Program 2022-2026 and Operational Plan 2023/2024 and Budget for the 2023/2024 financial year.

This document sets out the goals, strategies and actions for the year to come.

The COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters affecting our area have had a significant impact on the entire Georges River area and have presented many challenges. However, our residents and businesses have demonstrated a resilience and willingness to maintain a strong sense of community.

The Georges River Local Government Area is not only important to our local lifestyle, but our strategic centres of Hurstville and Kogarah make us vital to Sydney’s future. Our area has proven highly liveable and our growing green canopy has ensured that the ‘heat island effect’ is not extreme in our area. Our transport corridors have proven to be adequate when people are using a combination of working from home and going to their place of work but need better connections to working hubs such as Parramatta in the future. Transport projects are a major part of our advocacy agenda.

Our Delivery Program includes a mix of economic, social and environmental programs whilst ensuring responsible corporate governance and financial management.

I look forward to implementing these actions for the future of our community.

Councillor Nick Katris Mayor
