For years our family lived in Queensland. We travelled for work and for pleasure and we could always rely on local Queensland Councils for information about work, local developments, business and services. Most Local Councils in Queensland are like those in all of the Australia states. They involve a contingent of paid staff and elected representatives who work to support local business and social development as well as maintain basic services, such as roads, refuse and public facilities to say the least.
In rural, regional and urban communities across Australia, Local Councils will generally involve committees and events that stimulate the local economy and social services.
Some Councils offer services directly or establish networks of local people who support the community with other resources through fundraising or volunteer work.
An example of this is the services to people with disability, carers and seniors. Many Councils develop mobility maps showing accessible toilets, pathways and services in the local community. These maps often appear on line or they are available for free to visitors and residents. Other Councils offer direct services to the frail aged and people with disability such as Home and Community Care Services or gardening and home maintainence programs.
All Councils are involved in supporting local tourism and generally will have online directories of services in the area as well as new residents information.
For information about a Local Council in the area you live or visit you can search a number of directories or sites that provide up to date information and direct contacts for Local Councils.
