renewal and economic development

initiative for the Forster town centre.

Great Lakes Council is one of

the best-performing councils in

New South Wales. It has done

commendable work in maintaining

and enhancing infrastructure despite

the limited resources available. To

its credit, it has been successful in

implementing plans which not only

fulfilled a long-required need, but

also generated additional revenues.

In addition to this, it has several

innovative projects to its credit.

Council enjoys a unique advantage

because of the large number of

retirees in its territory who actively

participate in volunteer work. This

volunteer workforce, which numbers

some 700 members, significantly

reduces the drain on Council’s

resources as well as maintains

facilities to a much higher standard

than Council funding would normally

allow. The Great Lakes community

is fortunate to have its needs met

by the highly capable Council.
