Welcome to the City of Swan On behalf of Council, I welcome you to the City of Swan. From pristine bushland and rural landscapes, to the iconic Swan Valley, busy commercial precincts and rapidly growing residential suburbs, we are incredibly diverse and each place has its own unique characteristics. We take our name from the Swan River (Derbarl Yerrigan) that runs through our beautiful City. We are a place with tremendous history, as the original inhabitants of this land, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation, have been here for more than 40,000 years. Guildford was also one of the first towns established in the Swan River Colony in 1829. Our City is growing rapidly, with our population set to more than double by 2050. We are committed to meeting your needs as new residents by providing you with purpose-built and sustainable facilities, and affordable services. We have three Swan Active centres which offer group fitness and swimming lessons. You can also discover a range of programs, activities and clubs at our six community libraries. There are plenty of ways for you to get involved in our community, with many volunteer opportunities and grants available for community projects. I also encourage you to visit our website for news on upcoming community events and workshops in your area. You can keep updated and have your say on local topics and consultations via the Have Your Say page on the City’s website. I’d like to thank you for deciding to join us and becoming part of our diverse, vibrant and energetic community. Cr Kevin Bailey Mayor, City of Swan
