Wollondilly Council will apply for funding for a range of halls, community assets and sporting facilities to benefit the whole Shire through the NSW Government’s $5 billion WestInvest program.
At Tuesday night’s meeting, Council endorsed a list of proposed competitive and non-competitive infrastructure projects across the Shire that will improve the lifestyles of residents in local communities and support economic recovery.
Under the program, Council has been allocated a guaranteed $22 million…
With the first stage of the transformative Wollondilly Cultural Precinct coming to life, Council will further consider the preferred funding model for the next stage of the project, the Government Services Building, at the November Council Meeting.
The preferred model for the Government Services Building, Library and Village Green is expected to bring a substantial $732 million in economic benefits for the Picton town centre, the broader Wollondilly community and other service organisations.

Time and paper are precious resources. Junk mail, email spam and unsolicited phone calls waste both time and paper, so let's get rid of them!
Globally, it is estimated that 100 million trees are harvested to produce junk mail each year. In Australia, 8.2 billion articles of junk mail are produced every year, along with over 650 million articles of addressed promotional mail.
Most of this mail is never read.
In addition, a recent study by Nucleus Research estimates that spam costs Austral…

If we all used a bike to get to work and visit friends and family or went on cycling holidays instead of road trips, it would have an immediate and profound effect on our fossil fuel use and contribution to climate change. Finally, as if all this is not compelling enough…

The local koala populations are still present however they are very elusive and rarely seen. Wollondilly Council is running an annual monitoring program to understand whe…
