• Councils employ more than 50,000 people in local communities right across NSW.

• Councils are helping to drive a locally led economy by employing lawyers, labourers and librarians, cleaners, carpenters and carers, electricians, engineers and educators.

• Local government in NSW manages 90% (164,000km) of the state’s local and regional road network.
