January
Kogarah City Council regularly organises events for young people in Kogarah and coming up in February is a talk by author, teacher and publisher Maggie Hamilton on the challenges and issues facing teenage girls today.
On March 4 Australians will help to clean up local parks, streets, creeks, and bays to protect our wildlife and preserve the environment. You can join in and make a difference too!
On February 14, Mayor Cr Nickolas Varvaris will launch Kogarah Library's National Year of Reading program. Kids can enjoy Mr Magic's Fun with Reading Show while the adults explore the Book Sculptures display.
A great program of events is planned for Seniors Week beginning March 18 including a luncheon at South Hurstville RSL, a visit to the NSW Art Gallery, a trip to Taronga Zoo and a local history tour of Kogarah.
Harmony Day celebrates the diversity in our community - the people, the experiences and the places we live, work and celebrate that bring us together. To mark Harmony Day in 2012, Kogarah City Council is holding a photography competition, Capture Your World.
Last October the Division of Local Government hosted Destination 2036 which brought together leaders from NSW councils to discuss and debate the future of local government. Since then an Action Plan has been developed and is now available for consideration and comment.
It is with regret that Council advises of the passing of Cr Colin Ritchie on 5 January 2012. Colin Ritchie was a long standing Councillor with Kogarah City Council and he will be dearly missed by Councillors, staff and the community he represented. R.I.P Cr Ritchie.
