The document is the City of Unley's annual report for 2006-2007. It highlights several achievements over the past year including opening a new swimming center cafe, completing playground redevelopments, expanding early childhood programs at libraries, and hosting author visits and youth music programs. It also discusses goals of promoting well-being through leisure and learning opportunities, enhancing community life, and protecting open spaces. An exhibition at the local museum featured a collection of vintage dresses and accessories spanning several decades.
