Armadale, Western Australia

ARMADALE , WESTERN AUSTRAL I A changing the perception of the old Armadale, we want to concentrate on good news stories and tourism is a great avenue for that.” Zelones: “As a local government, we’ve taken on and fully support the state-wide policy on issues like climate change. The water table is dropping, so irrigation for our homes and recreation areas could be an issue. We’re in a dry area, some distance from the coast, so we helped facilitate the development of a wet recreation facility at Champion Lakes and a redevelopment aquatic and fitness facility to encourage residents to stay and enjoy our recreational activities. “We take our environmental responsibilities seriously and are signatories to the single use plastic ban and the overall reduction of plastics entering the environment. We have an established Urban Forest Strategy aimed at retaining and growing our tree canopy to address the heat island effect, but also ensuring that greener look we’ve been known for is retained. It is a unique feature for the City of Armadale. My role at the City has been very rewarding. Even though I will no longer be Mayor, I love it here and I’ll be staying active in my community for many years to come.” Alita Constructions at Rossiter Pavilion in Piara Waters Haynes Shopping Centre, copyright Matt Devlin Forrestdale Business Park PREFERRED VENDOR n Beaver Tree Services www.beavertree.com.au PASSING THE TORCH… THE CITY IS IN GOOD HANDS.

During a speech Butterfield shared, “I would like to thank Henry for his dedication and service to the community spanning over 28 years, eight of which he served as Mayor. I would also like to thank the outgoing Councillors for their years of public service and acknowledge the invaluable contribution they made whilst representing the community. Finally, a warm welcome to the newly elected members, I look forward to working closely with a passionate, dedicated and determined team of Councillors and Administration.
