Free community services: what your Council is doing for you

Fairfield City Council libraries host a number of free community events
that include tutoring, language classes and more.

Fairfield City Council delivers a range of services and initiatives for residents in the community that help make our City a great place to live, work and play.

Council offers residents new and exciting services that will hopefully ease some of the pressures associated with a rising cost of living, as well as meet the needs of our growing
community.

A few of the free services offered by Council include:

City Connect Bus
A free commuter bus operates Monday to Friday around Fairfield City to provide transport to major interchanges for residents who live in areas poorly serviced by public transport.

Recycling Drop off Centre
Garden and electronic waste, along with recyclable metal, gas cylinders, car batteries and motor oil can be dropped off at the Recycling Drop off Centre at Wetherill Park on Saturdays from 8.30am to 3.30pm for free processing.

Seniors
Residents 60 years or older who hold an Aged Pensioner Concession Card or Seniors Card are entitled to free entry (within certain times) at Fairfield leisure centres. 

Library
Parents and guardians of children aged 0-2 are encouraged to visit the library to learn how to nurture their child's language development using stories, finger play and songs. Students can access three hours of group tutoring by qualified teachers. Council also offers free home delivery of books to housebound residents.

Museum and Art Gallery
Residents are entitled to free general admission to the Fairfield Museum and Gallery.

Fairfield Markets
Markets are held at Fairfield Showground every Saturday from 9am to 4pm. The market is free to enter, family friendly and provides entertainment.
