Woollahra News

We are very proud to announce we are the third local government organisation in New South Wales to reach ‘net zero emissions’ and be certified as carbon neutral.

There are some fantastic gardens in our local area and now is the time of year to show them off by entering yours in the 2020 Woollahra Garden Awards.

To celebrate National Tree Day (2 August), we've created a DIY walking tour through Double Bay to help you discover some of the area's magnificent trees.

We are excited to share the first edition of our new printed newsletter, Woollahra News, which has been delivered to every household in our local area this week.

To support you on this journey of navigating your path in the ‘new normal’, Woollahra have partnered with Netstripes, Digital Marketing Specialist, who have designed a suite of two power-packed webinars to increase your digital knowledge and skills and pivot your business for growth.

Our playgrounds are open for business once again, so make the most of the winter sunshine and take the kids to one of these splendid play spots these school holidays.

This financial year we will invest $4.1 million on road and footpath upgrades, $3.1 million on park and open space projects and $2.52 million to support small local businesses and our commercial centres during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If your small business or not-for-profit organisation has experienced a decline in turnover as a result of COVID-19, you may be eligible for a NSW Government small business recovery grant of between $500 and $3000.

From 1 July 2020, Development Applications (DAs) can be lodged online via the NSW Planning Portal.
