CHRISTMAS BY THE BEACH - Northern Beaches Council€¦ · Get outside these school holidays!...

@beachescouncil A MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR Whenever I attend community functions I regularly receive unsolicited compliments about Council staff and how helpful they have been. I know many residents tend to see councils as the level of government that just does roads, rates and rubbish. Some others think that is all we should do. But many others, particularly those involved in their community through not-for-profit community organisations, really appreciate the partnership they have with Council, and the tremendous support they receive from Council staff. Some recent examples were from a programme that teaches mostly single senior men to cook. I attended their end of year function and they went out of their way to thank a number of Northern Beaches Council staff for the support given. I also met with the organisers of the Forestville Art Show who were full of praise for the support they receive in setting up the displays every year. Today I received a letter from the Friends of Narrabeen Lagoon to thank the seven Council staff who had worked with a number of community groups to make last Saturday’s Wheely Big Bush Walk such a success. The Walk was a special function organised for International Day of People with Disability and arranged for a large number of residents who need a wheelchair to enjoy a bushwalk type experience, which so many of us take for granted. The Council provided gazebos, food and drink at four locations and staff members to work with volunteers on those stations. Council staff also provided chairs and tables along with special mats to assist wheelchair people move across the grass at different locations. They were also involved in the design and construction of the Narrabeen Lagoon multi-purpose trail that gave so much enjoyment to so many on the day. This fantastic effort was achieved through a partnership approach between the Council and a number of volunteer community groups. It is one of many hundreds of examples where these partnerships make a real difference to the quality of life in our wonderful area. I’m sure all readers would agree this is just what they want from their Northern Beaches Council.
