Julie Broad - Councillor City of Bunbury

07/09/2026

As an elected member and part of our City of Bunbury Disability and Inclusion Advisory Group, I enjoyed joining my fellow councillors tonight to learn how we can improve inclusion for all of community.

This graphic below was a timely reminder of what a community looks like when we stop learning and doing!

As every person deserves to feel valued and included, I would love to hear your thoughts on what we can do better.

Sunday has become the day for a long walk along back beach, past the lighthouse following the footpath along Casuarina Drive before passing in front of Vat 2 then The Bayview Bar, Dome Cafes Bunbury, Morris Lane Taffys, Flow36 Cafe & Restaurant, The Parade and The Happy Wife Bunbury

Today I noticed these small installations amongst the pavement just near The Cray Bunbury. How fun are they?

It was an informative session at the Hay Park Precinct tonight hearing about the Bunbury Water Recovery Scheme Project.

Aqwest team presented an update to clubs and shared the commencement of construction for the treatment plant in Dallyellup.

With 4 kms of pipeline the scheme will provide 2 gigalitres to Hay Park per year. Some benefits, other than the obvious, is that the scheme will allow for greater water use and a decrease in fertiliser use.

👏👏 City of Bunbury Parks & Reserves Team, the everlastings are magnificent!

Have you noticed the everlastings popping up around Bunbury? 🌼🌸
If you've spotted patches of everlasting flowers brightening up parts of town and wondered who's behind them - that's us!

Our Parks and Reserves team have been spreading everlasting seed in locations where regular irrigation isn't practical - sunny, low-water spots that are perfect for these hardy WA natives. Being annuals, the flowers come up naturally with the winter rains, put on their show through spring, and then drop seed to (hopefully) do it all again next year.

It's a simple, low-water way to bring a bit of colour to our public spaces, and a nice reminder of how well suited our local wildflowers are to the Bunbury climate 🤍

Keep an eye out for them each winter and spring - and let us know if you've found a patch near you!
