MyPenrith - Online Services Registration

MyPenrith is the place to lodge Council requests, anytime and anywhere. The system connects your enquiry directly with the relevant Council department – that means your requests are actioned faster and are easy to track for you and us. Registering to use our online portal will give you many benefits, including a digital record of all your requests in one easy to access location.

To better protect your information, MyPenrith includes multi-factor authentication (MFA). This means you’ll be asked to enter a one-time code sent via SMS or a phone call when signing in, adding an extra layer of security beyond just your password.
