Community

More than 100 local businesses are joining forces for an evening of fun, food and festivities, marking Paddington’s 2021 postcode and the current calendar year.

Don’t miss the 2021 Night Out – an evening of fashion, food and festivities in Paddington on Thursday 25 March from 4-8pm.

On Australia Day we hosted a special Citizenship Ceremony and welcomed 15 new citizens into our Australian family.

We spoke to some of our new citizens and asked them what it meant to become an Australian, and what they love about living in our local area.

Congratulations to the 11 local residents who were recognised in the Australia Day 2021 Honours List.

Thank you for your significant contribution to our community and country.

We have made some changes to our services, facilities and local amenities in response to COVID-19 to help reduce the spread of the virus and keep our staff and our community safe and well.

We’re eligible to receive up to $4.75M from the NSW Government for new public space projects.

Avoid crowded beaches this summer and try one of these other local activities instead.

We're excited to announce that our preschool in Double Bay now has an additional room and outdoor play area and we have expanded our childcare services to 40 new local families!

October is Small Business Month, let’s all support our small businesses by shopping and dining locally. Council is also offering a range of supports to small business owners - including a series of free webinars throughout October.

Read about the local projects we're supporting this year through our Community and Cultural, Environmental and Placemaking Grants.

Even though we cannot run our regular school holiday activities, we do have online events available.
