Community Resilience
Community Development is about building the resilience and strength of communities and ensuring people of all ages and backgrounds have opportunities to actively participate in community life.
As well as supporting individuals, Council also seeks to implement activities that enhance wellbeing using a whole-of-community approach, promoting diversity and inclusion, promoting volunteering, and contributing to the understanding of social issues through research and consultation.

- Seek funding to support community development activities
- Collaborate with groups and individuals on initiatives that benefit local communities and increase community wellbeing
