Securing $30 million in State and Federal Government Grants over the past two years has meant Bayside Council has been able to deliver 50 additional projects for its community.

A $5 million funding boost from the State Government will help fund Bayside Council’s plans to build a first-class sporting and recreational hub in Barton Park, Rockdale.

Bayside Council is urging all Members of the Upper House of the NSW State Parliament to reject the proposed developer contribution reforms which will dramatically reduce Council’s ability to fund vital infrastructure for our growing community and unfairly burden existing ratepayers.

Bayside Council was part of an extensive campaign led by local councils that has forced the NSW Government to reverse its proposal to expand construction hours across Sundays and public holidays.

Mayor Dr Christina Curry will attend a community meeting to discuss the impact of the M5 organised by Chris Minns, Member for Kogarah at the Bexley RSL on Sunday 26 June at 12noon.

Bayside Council’s NAIDOC street flags and banners feature the artwork of the finalists from Council’s First Nations art competition held last year and recognise the contribution Aboriginal people make to our country and society. 

In recognition of Refugee Week, Bayside Council has partnered with Advance Diversity Services and Sydney Multicultural Community Services to present several information sessions on the support services available to refugees and their communities in Bayside.

Bayside Mayor Dr Christina Curry visited Depena Reserve on Friday 10 June to see the progress on the new playspace that is expected to open in August.
