Here’s a snapshot of what Council resolved.

Thank you to everyone who attended, asked questions or tuned in online.

Vale, Dolly Parton🕊️

Like millions of people around the world, I loved Dolly from a distance. Dolly taught me so much about kindness, generosity, grit, humour and the power of showing up with light, even when life is heavy.

She lived her life with a rare mix of joy and wisdom. She gave the world her music, her storytelling, her philanthropy, her courage and her unmistakable sparkle. But more than anything, she gave us an example of how to live with heart. How to be strong without being hard. How to be soft without being small. How to lift others simply by being who you are.

I’m so grateful there are people in our world like Dolly ~ people who leave us better than they found us, who remind us that kindness is never wasted, and who shine so brightly that their light keeps glowing long after they’re gone.

Rest peacefully, Dolly. Thank you for every bit of light you shared.

Say hello to this month's Local Legend, Kathleen Knuckey ❤️

It takes a village to raise a child, and for 18 years Kath has been one of the most valued members of the Halls Head Primary School village.

While many families know her through the school canteen, her contribution goes far beyond serving lunches. Through her generosity, kindness and willingness to help wherever needed, Kath has supported generations of students, parents and volunteers, helping make the school community the welcoming place it is today.

Kath is one of those people who simply gets on with helping others, year after year, and her countless small acts of care have had a lasting impact on countless families over the years.

On behalf of Council and our community, thank you, Kath, for everything you do. Congratulations on being recognised as our August Local Legend 👏

Absolutely love visiting our local schools, today visiting Frederick Irwin Anglican School in Meadow Springs to read a book for Book Week.

Shout out to Principal Tracey Gray, and her awesome team on promoting kindness throughout their school and wider community💛

Today I loved seeing their wonderful 100% Kindness stickers that the school has created and is proudly sharing. It is such a positive initiative, encouraging students and the wider community to recognise, celebrate and spread kindness wherever they can.

I absolutely love this initiative! We definitely need more kindness in our world, and it is wonderful to see our schools and leaders continuing to example and champion the importance of kindness, compassion and looking out for one another.

Well done to everyone at Frederick Irwin Anglican School for showing that small acts of kindness can make a big difference🌟

Every member of our Council brings their own unique experiences, and today I’m pleased to introduce Councillor Owen Mulder.

With an engineering background and extensive leadership experience, Owen has a thoughtful and practical approach to local government. He is passionate about protecting the unique character of Mandurah while planning carefully for the future so our community continues to thrive.

Owen brings a strong foundation in governance and strategic decision making, shaped by years of senior work in engineering and management here in Western Australia and overseas. He is known for his careful preparation, his commitment to accountable local government and his steady focus on making sure community needs guide long term planning.

His focus on balancing growth with preserving what makes Mandurah special is an important part of the conversations we have around the Council table.

Watch Owen’s video below to learn more about his story and what motivates him to serve our community.

I hope this series gives you a greater understanding of the people who work together to help shape Mandurah’s future.

Grateful for time spent with this group of remarkable women.

A local women’s friendship and yarning circle that’s been gathering for almost 30 years. Three decades of showing up for one another, sharing stories, holding space and keeping community at the centre. A circle built on heart, connection and a deep love for this beautiful place we get to call home.

Thank you, Principal Natasha Upcott, and the amazing Mandurah Primary School community, for being such generous and kind hosts today. I love your school’s heart for community, and the lengths you always go to extend that love to all who visit.

Mandurah, our city with a village heart💛

What an awesome night celebrating the grand opening of the new Oceanic Bar + Grill in Mandurah!

It was fantastic to see a local business being reinvested in and taken to another level~ an incredible venue, amazing hospitality, great food and a real sense of excitement about what’s ahead.

Congratulations to owner Daman and the entire team on bringing Oceanic into this new chapter. With 30 staff, this is exactly the kind of investment that makes a genuine difference in our community.

I particularly loved hearing the story of Brandon, the Mandurah-born manager who had been living and working in Scotland before seeing the opportunity to come home and take on the role at Oceanic. There’s something pretty special about people returning home and putting their experience back into the community they grew up in.

It was also great to see Andy Allen from MasterChef and the Travla team there for the launch. Travla is a great Australian story in itself~ so inspiring!

It was also great to be joined by local representatives and community leaders on the night, all celebrating what this investment means for Mandurah.

As leaders, we should be doing everything we can to encourage investment, back local business and create an environment where businesses can grow, employ locals and continue making our community better.

Congratulations to everyone involved. Here’s to a very successful new chapter for Oceanic! 🥂

And as Damon so eloquently articulated ~ making a profit is a by-product of providing good service.

Happy Birthday week to this diamond of a human! Our very own creative big heart, Kerry, from Kreations by Kerry💖

I stopped by to see Kerry this morning and, as she illuminated with joy sharing all her latest colouring book creations, she shared this little pearl of wisdom:

“If it’s not super fun when I’m doing it, I’m just not doing it.”

Thought it was a quote worth sharing, because what a beautiful reminder that life, and creativity, doesn’t always have to be about pushing through, ticking boxes or doing what we think we should be doing.

Sometimes, the best things come when we follow the fun, listen to our hearts and give ourselves permission to simply create because it brings us joy!

So here’s to doing more of what lights us up, surrounding ourselves with people who inspire us, and celebrating the beautiful things that happen when creativity and joy collide.

Shout out to all of our local creatives who continue to inspire me! You sure do make our world a more beautiful place to be.

And Kerry… keep following the fun! Happy Birthday week, beautiful friend💛

Yesterday’s Eastlake Church’s “Best Day Ever” event was exactly that, the BEST day ever💛

Over 100 superhero kids came to play, create, dance, laugh, make memories and simply have fun, and every child left with a special gift!

A massive shout out to the extraordinary Bailee Taylor, who, at only 13 years old, has for the third year in a row personally raised over $2,000 to purchase more than 150 gifts, ensuring every child could leave with a present of their very own. Such an incredible young lady and an inspiration to us all~ I LOVE your heart Bailee!!

I was fortunate enough to volunteer at the biscuit decorating station and honestly, I was living my best life🤣 Extra sprinkles, extra M&Ms, because let’s be real, there is no such thing as too many toppings!

But beyond all the fun, what made the day so special was seeing these amazing kids simply being kids, laughing, creating, dancing, playing and enjoying themselves, surrounded by people who genuinely care.

A huge thanks to the amazing Eastlake Church team, all the volunteers, families and everyone who helped make this such a memorable day~ such an exquisite example of our city’s community heart in action💛

Definitely a BEST DAY EVER!
