Council's face-to-face Customer Service functions reopen
As COVID-19 restrictions continue to ease, Council is pleased to confirm that our customer support function has reopened at Council's Merrylands and Auburn buildings.
"I want to thank our ratepayers for their patience while our face-to-face services were suspended. Now that these face-to-face services have resumed, it's important that we maintain social distancing.
Our staff have protective masks and hand hygiene facilities are available, on site to help prevent the spread of the virus," said Mayor Steve Christou.
Remember, if you're unable to come in for these services, in person, you can still contact Council's Customer Service function by phone on 02 8757 9000 or email at

Supporting our small businesses
As
a large Council, our focus is on reopening the economy. That's why Cumberland City Council has launched a 'Shop Local' campaign to assist businesses in Sydney's west, hit hard by the impacts of COVID-19.
"Cumberland City businesses are an integral part of our local economy and offer a variety of multicultural food cuisines, spices and essential services," said Mayor Steve Christou.
"Local businesses have the opportunity to advise customers of changes to trade and delivery services by using Council's dedicated web page. This free initiative will continue to support businesses as they respond to trading conditions."
If you are a local business looking to feature on Council's website or are a resident searching for changes to business trade, visit the Shop Local webpage.
We encourage residents to shop at their local grocers, pharmacies, cafes and restaurants and share their good news stories with the hashtag #shoplocal - on social media and tag us @CumberlandCityCouncil or visit haveyoursay.cumberland.nsw.gov.au/shop-local

Greater investment needed for schools in Sydney's west
Mayor Steve Christou has received first-hand feedback from teachers and parents on a range of issues facing schools in the Cumberland City area.
Granville East Public School does not have a hall onsite for assemblies and students need to get on a bus and travel for this.
Granville South Public School does not have enough classrooms and Hilltop Public School needs assistance with technology upgrades.
"As an elected representative it's my responsibility to ensure Cumberland City residents don't go without and this includes school children in our community," said Mayor Christou.
"This is just a small insight into the bare essentials that are missing from public schools in Sydney's west. They join a long line of schools that need greater support and investment.
We look forward to working with the State Government to make sure our school children don't go without, and that they are engaged in positive learning environments."
