In 1964 Dumbleyung made the news for a world record made by Donald Campbell, last Sunday November 12, Dumbleyung made ABC news for its growing population! Since 2011, the population in our Shire has increased 7.7 per cent, in comparison to the average population growth of the Wheatbelt of 1.8 per cent for the same period. A significant change is the children under the age of four, who currently make up more than 10 per cent of our 671 residents.
The news segment highlighted the unfortunate possible loss of the Dumbleyung Family Day Care and the importance it plays in our Shire. Centre Manager Briony Adams, local mother and client of the centre Pip Gooding and Shire President Jacki Ball were all interviewed.
Shire President Jacki Ball commented that the service should be provided for women whether they live in the country or city and that the loss of the centre will leave a real void in childcare facilities in Dumbleyung.
The Shire of Dumbleyung is currently calling for expressions of interest to assist with keeping the Childcare centre open. If you would like to know more information about this Family Day Care position please visit http://www.dumbleyung.wa.gov.au/localoppurtunities
