Pioneers FunctionIt was an honour to welcome 15 new Pioneers to the City of Wanneroo at a function held at Bridgeleigh Reception Centre. The title of Pioneers is awarded to long-term residents who have contributed to our community and lived in the City for 50 years of their adult life.

We now have 116 Pioneers and it is wonderful to hear stories of the past and celebrate Wanneroo’s rich history.

All Pioneers were presented with a special gift, the book “Live, Work, Play: Wanneroo Recollections.”

The book tells the stories of the people who helped to establish Wanneroo and whose hard work has laid the foundations for what has become one of Australia’s fastest growing cities. Many of our Pioneers are proudly featured in the book.

To read profi les of our 15 new Pioneers please visit our website.

Congratulations RishelleI had the pleasure of meeting Rishelle Hume and extended the congratulations of our community to

the 2016 Aboriginal Award winner from the Western Australian of the Year Awards. The City is extremely proud of Rishelle’s achievement and work in the local community.

Homelessness WeekThis week is Homelessness Week, which aims to promote a greater understanding of this community issue and how best to respond to it.

The City works with local organisations to promote their services and link people experiencing homelessness with the appropriate services.
