This is because councils provide a majority of services that affect our daily lives.
They take care of local infrastructure like roads, footpaths and waste collection, but they also plan our town centres, care for our environment, look after our children and provide other community services.
More than 50,000 people work at the 152 city, coastal and rural councils across New South Wales, which means employees can choose the lifestyle they want.
In Local Government training and career development is encouraged and supported, and salaries are competitive.
