About us

The Georges River area is an incredibly special location treasured by it's culturally diverse community who are lucky enough to live and work here. It offers an abundance of natural assets with unique bushland, spectacular waterways, as well as a variety of town centres which each have their own feel and offerings. Council is dedicated to helping protect our natural environment, provide vibrant public places, sustaining and developing a thriving creative culture and enabling people to move around the area easily. We also want to offer access to a good mix of housing options, create job and business opportunities and ensure that Council is continually looking for ways to improve our provision of essential services. Community partnerships and effective engagement with our residents, our local working population and visitors to the area are key to achieving these goals. These relationships help Council to provide the Georges River area with innovative and creative solutions to existing and future challenges, including our growing population and environmental concerns such as climate change. With this in mind, Council makes decisions which help achieve these goals, develop strategies which help apply these decisions and, ultimately, deliver projects which articulate the priorities and aspirations of our community.

Georges River Councillors, staff, local high school students, St George Police Area Command, emergency services and community organisations marched side by side in a powerful stand against domestic violence. A special thank you to Top Blokes Foundation, our guest speakers, who delivered a powerful message to students about men's mental health, encouraging healthy expressions of masculinity and empowering young men to break free from harmful stereotypes.
