Rubbish wrangle: unhappy Gosnells residents asked to remove waste from verge due to collection delays

Gosnells residents were last week asked to move their waste off the verge and back on their property, due to concerns about stormy weather linked to ex-tropical cyclone Narelle.

The city said it was was trying to mitigate delays by organising additional collection days on Saturdays, while local residents reacted angrily that collection delays were an on-going problem.

The city of Gosnells posted to Facebook that some suburbs would experience verge collection delays due to last week’s wet weather and apologised for the inconvenience to ratepayers.

Victory at the Kalgoorlie International Speedway on Saturday night was enough to get arch-rival Callum Williamson out of reach in the penultimate race.

Archway completes park project

A new archway and bench seat at Mary Carroll Park in Gosnells will provide visitors with a perfect vantage point to view the internationally renowned wetland.

The archway marks the final element of the $3.5 million upgrade to Mary Carroll Park. The project also delivered the City’s largest all-abilities playground, a pedestrian bridge, yarning circle, picnic areas, a Changing Places accessible facility and more. Lotterywest contributed $1 million towards the project.

The timber arch features artwork by local Noongar artist Gertrina Hayden, hand carved into the timber poles. The design reflects artwork featured throughout the park by Ms Hayden and fellow Noongar artist Tamara Hayden.

Mayor Terresa Lynes said the double-sided bench was thoughtfully designed with a dual purpose in mind.
