Corporate Partnerships

In an endeavour to achieve efficiencies in its operations, Council has formed alliances and/or undertakes initiatives with other councils and organisations in areas such as joint purchasing arrangements via participation in the Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC); pooled insurances arrangements via Westpool; and the operation of its Companion Animal Shelter by entering into an agreement with Penrith and Baulkham Hills Councils facilitating the use of Hawkesbury's facility. This latter alliance has alleviated the need for those councils to establish their own facility and enabled a more economical use of resources.

In Sister City arrangements, Council has international partnerships with Temple City, California and Tamba, Japan and closer to home has alliances with NSW Country Councils; Cabonne Council and Weddin Shire.
