Welcome to the City of Swan - City of ...
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.

Mayor, City of Swan
