Michael McAulay – Recreation Planner

I am Council's Recreation Planner, a role I find both gratifying and fulfilling. I am currently working on designing, planning and developing  areas for the Strathfield Community. In addition, my responsibilities include coordinating recreational facility hire and managing the completion of Strathfield Council’s 25 playgrounds.

My most recent achievement was coordinating the redevelopment of the 2,225 square metre playground at Strathfield Park. Working to a tight deadline to ensure it was ready for the Spring Festival was challenging. It is rewarding to see the community enjoying this playground and I look forward to delivering the remainder of the playground upgrades.

Strathfield LGA is home to many beautiful birds, however feeding them bread can be harmful to certain breeds, especially those which feed on nectar from flowers. Instead of feeding birds such as pigeons, ibis or lorikeets, why not plant native plants which provide food and shelter for them as part of National Biodiversity Month.

For advice about what to plant, call Council on 9748 9999 or email:
