Northern Beaches Council has adopted the Children’s Services strategy, following endorsement at Council’s meeting yesterday evening.
The Strategy has been developed to guide the delivery of education and care services for children and families in the community.
Mayor Michael Regan said the strategy received strong support during community consultation in early 2020.
“Council is committed to providing quality affordable education and care services that support families and children.
“We recognise the role local government has to play in meeting the needs of children with additional needs, as well as playing a key role in supporting low income, disadvantaged or vulnerable families in our community.

Local youth band The Rions have won the 2021 edition of Northern Composure Unplugged final.
The Ten finalists battled it out in front of a 200-strong live audience at Glen Street Theatre last Friday 7 May.
Thanks to their uber slick rendition of Australian singer-songwriter Matt Corby’s hit song Brother and an original composition of their own, the Rions got the nod from the judges.
The four-piece band won a thousand dollars in cash and prizes, a marketing and publicity package from Perfect Pitch, plus the opportunity to perform at the inaugural month-long Taste of the Beaches food and wine festival currently in full swing.
