The role of the Council Liaison Officers is form strong relationships with key local council staff including Sport and Recreation staff, Council CEO, Councillors and the Mayor. Local Councils are one of the most important partners a community sporting centre has and they are able to support their community centres far beyond simply providing access to facilities.

Local Councils can provide access to volunteers and participants through their network and contacts, they can assist in the planning and delivery of events, they have strong communication platforms which can be used to pass your centres message to the community.

Local Councils also make available a variety of grants to centre each year as well as being able to access large state and federal government grants on behalf of your centre.
