October School Holiday Program - Climbing Wall

In October we ran a School Holiday program which included Circus Skills, Painting T-Shirts, Air Rifles and a climbing wall.

This is a video we shot on the day of our good amigo Fernando climbing the wall. He’s using the most difficult climb [which consisted of only the yellow grips].

The kids absolutely loved the climbing wall as well as the other activities we had with them. The food was raved about by the kids, especially the roast lunch that was cooked by our own Manager First Class Constable Kay Turner.

That was an encouraging result and the system seems to work well, good luck to the successful candidates, having not campaigned in this election other than this website, I am left with nothing but encouragement and await the next election, with more experience than before, but hopefully we can lift the participation levels and exposure of the election process ... - Peter Evans

Is your dog registered?

It’s dog registration time again and this year, dog owners are being reminded to notify the City of Gosnells if their details have changed.

Dog owners in the City of Gosnells should have received their renewal notices in the past week and renewals are due by Wednesday 31 October.

“Ensuring that your dog is registered is an essential part of being a responsible pet owner,” said Governance Director Trevor Perkins.

“It’s also important that people notify the City if they move house or their dog has been sterilised – and owning a sterilised dog qualifies residents for a big discount on their registration.”

It is a requirement under the WA Dog Act 1976 to register a dog over three months old and ensure that its registration tag is worn in public.

Information on payment and how to notify the City about changes is on the back of the renewal form.
