7 participants walked for a cause. 5 businesses were involved in selling chocolates throughout the district – Tasty Edibles, Talison Bridgetown Camp School, Department of Housing, and Squash Magic. A big thank you to all who participated ! Open Space Technology is a method for convening groups around a specific question or task or importance and giving them responsibility for creating both their own agenda and experience.

Arson accounted for more than half of all bushfires recorded by DFES in the first six weeks of 2015. Wilful and deliberate lighting of fires causes significant damage to people, property, flora and fauna in Western Australia each year.
On 16 December 2009 the Bush Fires Act (1954) and the Criminal Code were amended to increase penalties and clarify the definition of property regarding charges involving arson. Property now means personal or real estate property including crown land and includes the bush and fauna. Crime Stoppers can be contacted on 1800 333 000 or reports can be completed online. https://www.crimestopperswa.com.au/make-a-report Further information can be found on the DFES website. http://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/safetyinformation/fire/arson/Pages/default.aspx Due to the extension of the new aquatic centre construction schedule a free bus service will be operating commencing 26 December 2015 and running through until 31 January 2016.
