NSW councils are providing the key amenities and services their communities require against a backdrop of high population growth.

Councils are also having to deal with issues outside of their control, such as how they handle and dispose of certain types of waste. There are also significant changes with regards to Crown Land across the State, with these reforms changing the use and management practises for the benefit of NSW communities.
