The City of Busselton is rapidly growing, and we want to ensure we plan for future community spaces and facilities to meet everyone's needs.

This planning will cover facilities used by everyone in the community and ranges from arts and cultural centres, museums, libraries, youth centres, community halls, childcare centres, schools, hospitals, parks, sporting fields, recreation centres and aged care centres.

The City has reviewed current facilities against future demand and we want to hear whether that matches your experience.

The City of Busselton invites community members to comment on a request to name Reserve 38690, located at the corner of Harwood Road and Guerin Street, Geographe, as โ€œPhyllis Isaacs Hill Memorial Parkโ€.

A bit about Phyllis Isaacs Ronan ๐Ÿ‘‡

Mrs Phyllis Isaacs Ronan was born in Busselton in 1913 and was a respected Bibbulmen/Wadandi Elder, senior cultural knowledge holder and much-loved member of the local community. Known to many as Nana Phyllis, she was a descendant of the Isaacs and Hill families, two longstanding Aboriginal families with deep connections to the Busselton region.

A direct descendant of Samuel Isaacs, recognised for his role in the rescue of the SS Georgette, Mrs Isaacs Ronan carried and shared important cultural and historical knowledge. She has worked with the City of Busselton on community projects, and her knowledge has contributed to records relating to the Wonnerup Massacre and local Aboriginal history.

The City of Busselton has secured $22,050 in funding through the Community Water Supplies Partnerships Program to develop construction-ready plans for the next stage of the Dunsborough Non-Potable Water Network.

The project will help guide future expansion of the network, supporting the sustainable irrigation of parks, public open spaces and sporting ovals while reducing reliance on scheme water.

The funding builds on previous investment that has already extended the network from Dunsborough Lakes to the Dunsborough Playing Fields, helping improve water security for the growing community.

Busselton and Dunsborough Libraries recorded an incredible 1.03 million interactions during the 2025/26 financial year, the first time our library services have reached this milestone.

While more than 319,000 physical and digital items were borrowed throughout the year, the numbers only tell part of the story. Every day our libraries bring people together through Storytime sessions, accessing technology, workshops and learning opportunities.

A big thank you to our community and all those who visited, borrowed, clicked and helped us achieve this milestone.
