A Walk in the Park

Brendan Moore - Parks Team Leader

I originally applied for the role of Parks Team Leader at Strathfield Council because I saw it as a great opportunity to work in some of the Inner West’s busiest parks. The Parks team is constantly on the move maintaining and updating the LGA’s green spaces. I’ve particularly enjoyed working on the playground upgrades which began earlier this year. It was fantastic to be able to contribute to something the community can enjoy for many years to come.

Christmas Fire Safety

Christmas is a great time to celebrate with family and friends, and usually involves a big cook-up in the kitchen or on the BBQ. Be fire safe this holiday season by checking electrical items are up-to-date and making sure your fire alarm has a new battery.

Avoiding Legionnaires disease

Council’s Environmental Health Officers will be rolling out a cooling tower inspection program in January 2018. Cooling towers can be a source of Legionnaires Disease if the water and system are not regularly maintained and cleaned.
