Community
Local councils are the people behind getting local people together!
South Australian councils are active in community development, creating enjoyable and inclusive environments for the lives of their residents.
Councils deliver a range of services and programs to support community, such as:
- providing recreation facilities
- organising community events
- creating youth programs
- delivering community workshops
- providing support services for local businesses.
Community partnerships
Councils drive community development by teaming up with community groups, service providers and other organisations.
They create partnerships and deliver programs and services which help make positive change in our neighbourhoods.
Some of the ways councils support community development are:
- creating support programs for community groups
- hosting events like Neighbour Day
- running activities and programs that promote healthy living
- working with other social services agencies to address rough sleeping.
Most importantly, councils listen to the community at community forums and through year-round consultation to find out what communities need.
