Welcome to the December issue of
Council Connect. Our theme is doing things
differently. Given 2020's events, many might find that phrase

Australians, as we always do, have found a way to adapt to a new
reality. We have become more aware of our role in keeping each
other safe and perhaps we are a little kinder, more inventive -
finding new ways to stay connected when we cannot be together in

We have also found ways to keep our eyes firmly on the road
ahead, to focus on what is good and positive even with uncertainty
around us.
In this issue, we hear from Carey McIntyre, CEO of
Shellharbour City Council, who shares with us his
Council's commitment to delivering services in a different way.
Looking beyond the 3Rs (roads, rates and rubbish), Council is
striving to build a more family friendly workplace and a culture
that properly recognises and hears Australia's indigenous
people through its Aboriginal Advisory Committee. We applaud
