01/08/2023

Construction is underway at Maroubra Beach to transform a temporary public space into a new plaza providing a permanent space for people to gather and meet, Randwick Mayor Dylan Parker announced today.

30/07/2023

Breastfeeding has been going well: your baby is thriving and happy. But now you are returning to work and feel sad at the prospect of weaning your baby.

Dog off-leash parks in the Sydney city Council area

28/07/2023

Exercising regularly has benefits for both you and your dog. Our off-leash parks are perfect if you want to get outdoors with the furriest member of your family. Taking your pet outdoors to a dog-friendly space is important, especially in inner-city areas with high-density dwellings where dogs don’t have much space to exercise. Regular off-leash exercise in designated off-leash parks helps dogs relieve boredom and release pent-up energy. It may also reduce unwanted behaviour such as excessive barking. Outdoors exercise also benefits owners with dog parks bringing people together. Dogs are welcome at many different parks in the City of…
