Wingecarribee Shire
Wingecarribee Shire Council is celebrating Local Government Week by showcasing the diverse range of services provided by councils across the State.
Wingecarribee Shire Council’s General Manager Lisa Miscamble said all councils played an integral part in everyday life.
“Local Government has the most direct and immediate contact with residents,” she said.
“Whether picking up and managing residential waste, maintaining local roads or providing water and sewerage services to your house; barely a day goes by where you wouldn’t use a service or facility provided by Council.”
Other essential infrastructure managed by the State’s 128 councils include the management and coordination of hundreds of pools, leisure centres, public libraries and cemeteries and thousands of parks, gardens, public spaces, community halls and public facilities.
