Locals First
The Town of Cambridge is mindful that it exists to serve its local community first and foremost. This may mean that the Council will advocate for local preferences where these diverge from the State Government’s wishes. It may also mean preferential treatment for local residents in terms of access to services (for example lower fees and charges for local residents may be considered in some cases). We will continue to work with our neighbouring local governments and the State Government in the interests of Cambridge and the broader region of which we are an integral part.
