We’re on a journey to a 100% renewable energy future and leading the charge in reducing emissions, supporting our community, and lowering living costs.

In partnership with councils like City Of Charles Sturt, City of Marion, Campbelltown City Council (SA) and City of Unley, we’re showing how local government can lead the way in sustainability and resilience.

Merry Christmas from the Mayor, Councillors, and the team at the City of Mitcham! Have a wonderful day today and enjoy time with family and friends.
Fire danger season is kicking off a little earlier this year, commencing from tomorrow, November 15 thanks to higher temperatures, dry conditions, below average rainfall and below average fire activity over the past few years.

We’re moving into the final stages of a major infrastructure project at Smith-Dorrien Street, Hill Street and Haig Street in Netherby and Mitcham in conjunction with our contractor Beltrame Civil this month.
General Manager Engineering & Horticulture Dan Baker reflects on the outcomes of the project which includes a stormwater system upgrade and incorporates smart water design features to help manage local stormwater issues and future proof to mitigate against wider catchment issues.
This $4 million project was co-funded by the City of Mitcham and Federal Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.
