December Update

Dear residents, 

I would like to open with an acknowledgement of loss, trauma and bravery of those involved in the Bondi terrorist attack. 

Cr Suann opened our last council meeting last Tuesday with the following statement: I hope we all have a safe Christmas. I know we've had some terrible news out from Bondi and my heart goes out to everyone over there and I'm proud we're part of such a beautiful community here in Claremont. 

On behalf of Council, I wish everyone a happy and safe Christmas and festive season.
