Welcome Message

On behalf of all Elected Members, Council staff and our residents and business, I welcome you to the City of Charles Sturt. Our City is a vibrant, diverse and historic City in the western suburbs of Adelaide.

Our City occupies a unique position in Adelaide, home to character filled suburbs extending from the city to the sea. With a population of over 110,000 people with 105 diverse cultures and backgrounds, we are proud to represent the different residents who form our Charles Sturt community. We took our name from the famous explorer Captain Charles Sturt, who travelled all over Australia, eventually making his home in Grange. Many people who have made significant contributions to South Australia have called this area home. They join residents and businesses which, through shared pride in where we live and our sense of community, continue to enrich our beautiful City. Our City provides a wide range of opportunities for housing, business, sporting and leisure activities. We are proud to protect and enjoy 11.5 kilometres of metropolitan coastline, and are committed to developing wetlands and recreation areas to reflect our focus on environmental sustainability and protection. As well as our commitment to developing sustainable and special communities, we aim to celebrate and make use of our facilities that attract international events. We are focused on making our City a destination to connect with and enjoy for our residents and visitors.

This booklet has been created to welcome you and to give you information on services, our community, and what to do and see. Please visit www.charlessturt.sa.gov.au or contact Customer Contact on 84081111 for more information.

We are pleased to have you join us in Charles Sturt.

Mayor Angela Evans
