Congratulations to all nominees and thank you to Kumud Merani, for being our Fairfield City 2024 Australia Day Ambassador.
Follow me on @FC.FrankCarbone The year is still young, but our City has seen one of its most exciting starts to the year. I’m thrilled to announce that residents will receive a green bin in the next few months for all your garden and food waste with fortnightly collections starting in June. The new green bin is truly an additional service because everything about your red and yellow bins will stay the same. They remain the same size and will be collected just as often as they do now. The new green bin will take all garden, lawn and food scraps. It’s called FOGO which is an acronym for food organics, garden organics. Council has also hosted many family friendly events. We recently held our magnificent Illuminate New Year’s event and this month we will start a series of free super park events that will continue through to August. The days will include activities and entertainment for the family, an ice cream truck in the

warmer months and refreshments in the cooler months. We have also continued work on delivering our City’s infrastructure to benefit residents and families into the future with work starting on Endeavour Sports Park in Fairfield West to include multipurpose hard courts, synthetic football field and an AFL and cricket fields. Work will soon begin on a $4 million fitness park at Avenel Park, Canley Vale and a $6 million inclusive super park at Brenan Park, Smithfield. Our free events and infrastructure investments are making our City an even greater place to live, work, play and raise a family.
