As the sphere of government closest to the people, Councils are very aware of the advantages of tapping into this great resource, their community. Warringah is no exception. Council actively promotes partnerships with community groups, local business, other service providers and neighbouring Councils.
Warringah’s Community and Cultural Services Unit has developed an extensive network with various organisations, both within and outside Warringah, to optimise service delivery and improve quality of life for everyone.
The partnerships reflect the diverse needs of the local community and include formal arrangements for services in areas ranging from childcare, life saving, special events and environmental management to library services. Creating formal links with other organisations avoids duplication and unnecessary competition with other service providers, as well as providing a means to manage any conflicts of interest.
Likewise, the partnerships provide feedback to Council on the aspirations of the community. This exchange of information and expertise raises the overall level of skill and support of everyone involved.
