LIGHT HORSEMAN MEMORIAL STATUE

ANZAC DAY

The Shire of Kondinin was thrilled that a photo taken at

Yeerakine Rock with descendants of the Light Horseman

Brigade from this area was on the front page of last Saturday’s

Weekend West. Of course, it was all because of the Light

Horseman Memorial being unveiled on Anzac Day.

Unfortunately, the accompanying article on page 20 was

incorrect in the community funding for the Light Horseman

Statue which they put at $1,000. In fact, the correct figure is

actually $16,500 comprising a $10,000 donation from the

Kondinin Community & Recreation Council, $2,500 from the

Kondinin Hotel Community & Sporting Association and $4,000

from the Carols by Torchlight No Smoking Grant 2013.

SKIP BIN FOR HIRE Looking to clean up your yard? Then why not request the use of the

skip bin to remove that extra waste.

The skip bin is available to all residents to use on a rotational

basis. To ensure that all requests are met in a timely manner, it is

allocated for a two week period. Exten-

sions can be granted if there is no one on

the waiting list, otherwise we ask that you

others have had a turn. Please note there

is a $10 fee for the use of the skip bin.

CAT AND DOG REGISTRATIONS

It is now a mandatory requirement that all dogs are microchipped and cats are

microchipped and sterilised before registration.

CLUBS FACE ANZAC DAY OBLIGATION

The Anzac Day Act 1960 says organisations hosting sporting events for which people pay to watch must pay 60 per cent of

the net proceeds from the event to the Anzac Day Trust. Any sporting events held on ANZAC Day fall under the requirements

of the ANZAC Day Act 1960. As ANZAC Day is on a Saturday, this may impact clubs around Western Australia and you need to

ensure you comply with the act. As a courtesy, we strongly suggest you contact your local RSL (Returned and Services

League).

This does not apply to fitness centres, exercise classes, swimming pools etc. Even if the sporting events is not profitable, a

return has to be submitted to the Anzac Day Trust. The form is available for download.

The Act also says (and the RSL strongly supports this) that no race, match, game, exercise, pastime, contest or any other

event should commence before the hour of 1pm on Anzac Day.

After 1pm the act allows community or club level sporting events (e.g. junior soccer, hockey or football) to be played, provid-

ed people are not asked to pay to watch the match or donations of any kind are sought by the organisers.

As ANZAC Day is on a Saturday, this may impact clubs around Western Australia and you need to ensure your club complies

with the act. As a courtesy, we suggest you contact your local RSL.

Media release April 21, 2015 Awards champion business women across all sectors

Local Member Mia Davies MLA has called on the Central Wheatbelt electorate to help recognise local business women who are challenging the status quo and breaking new ground, by nomi-nating them for the 2015 Telstra Business Women’s Awards.

Ms Davies said the Telstra Business Women’s Awards, now in its 21st year, provides a unique

opportunity to showcase exceptional business women in the Wheatbelt.

“The Wheatbelt has an incredible depth of business women who are achieving great things and demonstrating the value women bring to business and the importance of a diverse and equitable workforce.

“These women are creative and passionate individuals whose leadership and success play a crucial role in driving the nation’s productivity and performance, ensuring our country remains relevant and competitive.”

Ms Davies said “I urge the community to get behind our local business women by nominating them for the 2015 Telstra Business Women’s Awards.”

Local business women in the Central Wheatbelt that have been previously successful in the Tel-stra Business Women’s Awards include Jane Mouritz of Hyden who was a finalist in the Busi-ness Innovation Award. Nominations are now open and entries will be open from Monday 11 May until Sunday 28 June. State and Territory winners of the Telstra Business Women’s Awards will be named at evening events later this year. National awards including the prestigious title of Telstra Australi-an Business Woman of the Year will be announced at a gala dinner in Melbourne on Wednes-day 25 November 2015.
