Ever wondered what your local Council does beyond roads, rates and rubbish? This Local Government Week, we're pulling back the curtain and giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how we're building a connected city with thriving communities.

Join us for the Local Government Week Open Day on Saturday 9 August, from 10am to 1pm at the Maitland Administration Centre and Town Hall. It’s a free, family-friendly event with plenty to see and do!

Visit our stall to chat with our Engagement team and find out how you can help shape the future of our community.

Here’s what’s happening on the day:

• Take a guided tour of Maitland Town Hall and the Administration Centre
• Pick up free seedlings from our Environment and Sustainability team
• Explore career opportunities in local government
• Check out the FOGO truck and plant equipment up close
• Meet your Councillors and the people behind the scenes at Council
• Enjoy a free community BBQ
• Grab a coffee from the van on site

Whether you're curious about community projects, exploring future job opportunities, after a few free seedlings or just looking for a fun day out, we’d love to see you there.
