🤩❤️ We had the Young Women’s Leadership Team visit our Council Chambers this evening. It was a real honour to chat to them about our leadership journeys and what inspired us to join local government.
Well done to the wonderful and talented young women that attended. 🤩

🚨URGENT PSA 🚨
There is a nation-wide emergency alert test today - Monday 27th July at 2pm.

A loud siren will blast from every Australian mobile phone - even if it is on silent.

If you or anyone you know is experiencing DV and has a phone stashed for emergencies or for a safety plan - please move your phone to a safe person or out of your home ASAP. If you can't, put it on FLIGHT MODE, turn it off and leave it off for a few hours just to be safe.

The Australian Government is launching AusAlert in October 2026.
A national test of AusAlert is happening next Monday, 27 July 2026 at around 2pm AEST.

During the test, all compatible mobile devices in Australia will receive an alert at about the same time. The AusAlert national test will be a Critical Alert. This means you’ll receive it even if your device is on ‘silent’ or ‘do not disturb’. The alert may stay active for up to an hour.

AusAlert messages share important information, but they could make hidden safety devices easier to find.
If it’s not safe to receive the AusAlert national test on your devices:
⏰ Turn them off or put them in aeroplane mode at least one hour before the test.
📱 Keep them off or in aeroplane mode for 24 hours after the test.
