Connecting & Belonging
Our community wants to strengthen the ways we can connect with each other and build our sense of belonging.
In the face of challenge and adversity, we will continue to offer effective services and explore new and innovative ways of managing assets and delivering programs to ensure our community is supported.
Equity is important to our community. Delivering equitable outcomes and supporting our community to have a voice and participate will ensure that no one is left behind.
Our City continues to become more diverse, with new people from all over the world arriving each week. We want everyone to feel valued and engaged, ensuring we can tailor and provide targeted services.
Safety continues to be a fundamental focus and is integral to a sense of connection and belonging. Many of our core services contribute to the safety and wellbeing of our community; including public lighting, health inspections and animal management. We will continue to deliver these services and look for ways to improve the wellbeing of our residents and visitors.
Stories from
Our community
"My neighbours are wonderful people and they're there for me night and day. It's a great place to be."
Eileen - West Croydon
"I've found meaning and purpose in life as a volunteer, that knowledge of actually giving something back in return for all the opportunities and wonder that I receive."
Annette - Resident
"I run a not-for-profit organisation Muslim Australian Connections of South Australia to help new migrants and international students to settle in South Australia. When I came, I didn't know anybody and there was nobody in my community, that's why we're reaching people, so that they don't have to go through suffering again. I do what I do because I love what I do."
Nasir Hussain - 2023 Citizen of the Year
"Every day I get smiles. I try to just try and make people feel a bit better about themselves. Some people will wave. Some people will beep. Some people beep, wave, smile. Once I get about 20 smiles it’s hard not to start cartwheeling and getting all excited. It gives me a buzz. This is for everybody. This has always been a gift for everybody.”
Stephen with his 'Smile It's Free' Signs - Woodville
