I always enjoy meeting citizens at our annual new year’s day levee.

I believe I will find agreement from almost everyone in Riverview when I say it is the family-oriented nature of our community. Councils over the years have been diligent in making sure all the basic services are provided efficiently but, in addition to that, recreational and social activities and facilities for all ages have been made available which I believe our citizens appreciate.
Where can you be found on a rainy day?
In the office or at home with a book.
