Griffith City Council Celebrates Local Government Week 2024

Griffith City Council (GCC) has invited residents to help celebrate Local Government Week (LGW) 2024.

Held from July 29 to August 4 2024, LGW is designed to showcase the works Councils do in their local communities, including the wide variety of services they provide.

This year, GCC is using the week to thank the selfless volunteers who support Council and to highlight some of the services and facilities the community enjoys.

Griffith Mayor, Doug Curran said the week was always a good opportunity to let the community know more about what Council does.

“Many people aren’t fully aware of the wide range of services Council provides,” Mayor Curran said.

“There’s so much more beyond just roads, rates and rubbish.

“Recent conversations have shown that our community values the efforts of our Council and its staff.

“I invite residents to get involved in the activities we have planned throughout the week.”

Council will hold a Thank You Morning Tea for council volunteers on Tuesday, July 30 to honour the unwavering commitment of our facility volunteers and numerous Committee members who generously give their time.

Griffith Regional Aquatic Leisure Centre (GRALC) will offer free “come and try” classes for Griffith residents:

• Monday, July 29 - 9:30 am HIT and 5:30 pm Pump;

• Tuesday, July 30 - 6 am Spin and 1:05 pm Spin’n’Core;

• Wednesday, July 31 - 10:30 am Gentle Stretch and 1:05 pm HIT Express;

• Thursday, August 1 - 1:05 pm Weight and Core and 5:30 pm Core Crusher;

• Friday, August 2 - 6 am TFC and 9:30 am Body Balance; and

• Saturday, August 3 8 am Aqua Aerobics.

On Wednesday, July 31, the Griffin Green Affordable Housing project will be opened.

This has been a joint initiative between Argyle Housing and GCC and will provide key workers such as healthcare workers, hospitality staff and other essential service providers with affordable housing.

A special LGW Council Cafe will be held on Thursday, August 1 at Griffith Central and on Friday, August 2, Council will host Kurrajong, who will be visiting Council chambers.
