Federation Council is excited to launch its New Residents Kit to the public which provides people moving to the area with a range of information on Council, community services and facilities.
The New Resident Kit includes a coffee table size New Resident Guide that contains a wealth of information on the Federation Council Local Government area as a whole.
This guide will complement several other Council created directories such as the Ageing Well Resource and Family and Children Services Card that provides contact details for a number of local services, schools, sporting and community clubs.
Federation Council Mayor, Cr Pat Bourke said Council was pleased to add to its suite of Council created directories through the launch of the New Residents Kit.
“Often when you locate to a new area you don’t always know things like what day does the bin go out, what do I need to do to register my pet or when is the local waste facility or library open,” he said.
“Council hopes this kit will support new residents that have moved to our region in their transition. Across the Council area there is such diverse experiences – from great food to the great outdoors, amazing public art, and cultural experiences for visitors and residents to enjoy.”
To encourage people to discover what is available in their own backyards, Council has included a North of the Murray Official Visitor Guide, town maps and the Shearing of the Rams Trail.
Council is inviting interested local real estate agents and home builders to stock the kits and provide them to people interested in building here or when handing over the keys on the sale of a house. Alternatively, new residents to the Federation Council region can pick up a New Residents Kit from any Council Office or the Corowa Visitor Information Centre.
Mayor Bourke said Federation Council is committed to providing assistance where possible for new residents and businesses to make their move to area easy and stress free.
“We hope this New Resident Kits helps our newest residents to settle in, learn more about our wonderful Council area and allow more time to enjoy the local lifestyle.”
