Products and Services A-Z

The City of Melville provides more than 200 products and services that all contribute towards making the City of Melville a safer and more desirable place to live.

As Western Australia’s fifth largest local government, the City strives to provide these services at a consistently high standard and to the best of its ability, for the ease and convenience of its residents.

Of the more than 200 products and services that are provided, there are a number of internal services that help run the organisation and externally focussed services that are provided to benefit the community, that all come together to contribute towards an effective Local Government.

To help give you an understanding of the extent of these services the City went through some of its externally focused services and have pulled out a number of them that may be of most interest to its residents and put them into this A – Z services directory. It is hoped that this directory will make your life a little easier.

There are also a number of community based organisations which have been included, which help the City to provide some vital community services.
