Upcoming Changes to Lake Dumbleyung Gazetted Ski Area
DPAW have given approval for the ski area to be extended to the north of the current ski area. The northern area approved will go roughly from the North-East and North-West points of the current ski area to the Yacht Club. There will also be an extended ski area to the south of the current ski area which is UCL and not under the control of DPAW. These areas still need to be gazetted by the Department of Transport before they can be used as ski areas. Ross Leo from Combined Pest Control has also visited to spray the Yacht Club and Ski Club. He is doing this as a donation to the community which is much appreciated. Thank you Ross. Read more
Fines Enforcement Registry
The shire has now signed up to the Fines Enforcement Registry in order to provide a larger deterrent to the fines that we currently issue. This means that if you fail to pay a fine that has been issued by the shire, you may end up having your driver’s licence suspended until the fine is paid.
Responsible Dog Ownership
During February, a ranger representing the shire will be visiting homes in Dumbleyung and Kukerin to talk to owners about responsible dog ownership. The purpose of this visit is to inform you of your rights and obligations so that you know the right thing to do.
