Anyone who appreciates walking trails will be glad to know that Cunderdin is part of the Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail. Furthermore, Cunderdin’s close proximity to the Great Eastern Highway attracts tourists who take advantage of the unique Cunderdin Museum in their travels. Innovation for growth The Council has to be innovative with their ideas as fostering growth in the region is not always easy. The Cunderdin Airfield, which was built as a training ground for pilots during World War II, is now home to the gliding club. Interestingly, Quiet Flight has built a glider allowing people with disabilities to fly, attracting large numbers. Apart from the gliding club, however, a private company is currently looking at the airfield with a view for a long-term lease for future commercial development. According to Peter, there are many projects in place. The Council’s big projects, such as the Primary Health Care Centre and Aged Accommodation, will keep them busy for the next couple of years. During that time, they will also have to continue offering important services such as road maintenance to the region’s residents. After completion of current projects, however, additional infrastructure will probably be the next step. Improving the region’s aspects takes time and hard work but there’s no doubt that the Council of Cunderdin Shire is up to the task.
