STANDPIPE SURVEY – Closes lunchtime on Friday 14th September 2018.
From 1 July 2019, the Water Corporation is changing the way that they charge for water from standpipes. These changes will impact users of some standpipes so we are conducting a very quick survey to get comments from users of the following standpipes:
- Tincurrin Road and One Fourteen Rd Intersection
- One Twenty Nine Rd and One Twenty Five Road
- Kankine St (One Twenty Nine Rd next to the railway line)
- Scadden St (Kukerin Townsite)
The survey is available online athttps://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DBRNX2Z and we require the survey to be completed by lunchtime on Friday 14th September 2018.
For more information on these changes, please see the Water Corporations FAQ and a map of standpipes in the shire at https://www.dumbleyung.wa.gov.au/standpipes
Historical Locality Sign Update
This project commenced in 2016 and has involved considerable consultation with the community to date. I thank those who have joined the update email mailing list and have assisted with proofreading and content in the designated timeframes - it has been a great help. Over the last two months the Merilup and Kukerin signs have been drafted and sent via the email mailing list for community awareness and proofreading. These sign drafts are available to view and can be downloaded at the below link:
