Consultation has concluded

Georges River is home to some of the most accessible centres in Sydney, world class health care facilities and a talented, skilled and culturally diverse workforce. Council’s Economic Development Strategy takes a place based approach in building on these attributes for responsive and progressive places for investment, working and lifestyle.

The workshop report on business and community engagement leading up to the Strategy is also available, along with other business related information. Look at the document library to get access to these reports.

We are pleased that Kogarah has been recognised as the 16th most accessible suburb on the Deloitte 30 Minute City Index, and Carlton / Kogarah Bay and Allawah were equal 49th, and Hurstville 57th out of over 300 suburbs.

Approximately 70 people participated in our workshops and the generous and thoughtful participation yielded some tremendous insights. For example, in our Kogarah workshop, a participant spoke about the “the Paris end of Kogarah”, and sure enough, Kogarah is reported (SMH 7/5/18) to be the second most like Paris suburb in Sydney!
