The theme for this year’s Annual Report is INSPIRE : CONNECT : LIVE. These three key words highlight how Glen Eira’s diversity and quality of open space creates different experiences, emotions and opportunities for all community members. This concept highlights the focus Glen Eira City Council places on open space and the important role it plays within the community. It has a positive influence on residents’ wellbeing and it provides areas for people to connect and interact, which strengthens community ties and helps to create an inspiring and liveable municipality.
The Glen Eira City Council Annual Report 2013—2014 is a 252 page report. It has a 6 page cover, and the first 60 pages of the Report are indented from the balance of the Report and display a snapshot of the achievements of Council over the year.
