Bayside Council announced the winner of its successful Summer Foreshore Program at a presentation evening on Thursday 18 April at the Novotel Hotel Brighton Le Sands.

Congratulations to local resident Judd Jones who won a one-night stay at the Novotel.

As part of the Bayside ANZAC Day commemorations, Council is giving away copies of 'Postings from the Front', which details the lives and experiences of the men and women from Botany and Mascot who served during World War I.

To ensure our veterans are able to comfortably participate in these events now and into the future, Council has recently installed handrails at Booralee Park, with two more being installed at Arncliffe and Mascot next week.

The use of Bexley Oval by local sporting clubs can now extend into the evening thanks to six new floodlight towers that were installed by Bayside Council, supported by a $250,000 grant from the Federal Government.

Our world’s changing climate and human activities like the development of Port Botany and Sydney Airport have significantly altered the shoreline along Lady Robinsons Beach, causing persistent erosion and presenting other challenges.

City Presentation have been busily planting new greenery along the nature strip on West Botany Street near Rockdale Park giving this space a wonderful burst of colour and adding to the existing lush green hedges and street trees along that street.

The official opening of Barton Park in Banksia will take place on Saturday 4 May.

Council runs three childcare centres located at Hillsdale, Mascot and Kogarah, which provide quality education and care programs for children aged between six weeks and five years old.

This year we again supported schools, businesses and the local community for Clean Up Australia Day. Staff were involved in cleaning up Cook Park, and thanks to their wonderful efforts, 40 large bags of rubbish were collected. Thank you to everyone who participated. 

Council re-established its online flood hotspot map.

If you have experienced consistent flooding on or near your property which has originated from a local stormwater drain, natural stream or estuary you can now ‘pin it’ on Council’s hotspot map.
