Strathfield pumps it up

An exciting range of new events, initiatives and infrastructure projects to reposition Strathfield as the business and cultural hub of Sydney's inner-west.

This weekend marks an important milestone for Strathfield.

It will see the first in a series of big events designed to transform Sydney’s view of the municipality – and hopefully position it as one of the movers and shakers of the inner-west.

It is, in effect, the launch of Brand Strathfield. Expect to hear much more of this in the coming weeks.

Fee rise sparks debate as mayor gets a rise at last

The annual fee rise sparks debate about what a councillor's time is worth

Perhaps surprisingly, it proved contentious when members discussed their fees at a meeting in June. Not because they wanted more, but because one wanted less.

Mayor Cr Tony Maroun, who’s been paid the minimum for two years, was awarded a fee rise to $52,960 – $16,640 as a councillor and $36,320 in his role as Mayor.
