Shire of Chapman Valley will be undertaking maintenance works on the Bridle Trails in the Parkfalls Estate from Monday 11th May 2026.⁣
⁣
Works will include:⁣
◾Removing excess sand from the northern end of the trail in the Wittenoom Circle loop (from Copperhill Junction to Merino Fairway)⁣
◾Carting and levelling gravel along the central part of the trail⁣
⁣
⚠️ 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:⁣
Heavy machinery will be operating in this area during the works. We ask all trail users, residents, and motorists to:⁣
◾Obey speed restrictions in the area⁣
◾Exercise caution around work zones⁣
◾Follow all signage and directions from workers⁣
⁣
Once completed, the Shire will gauge how successful the trial is before committing to future works. This will hopefully allow greater access to Bill Hemsley Park & Community Centre.⁣
⁣
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to improve this community facility.⁣ For any enquiries, please contact the Shire Office.⁣

The Shire of Chapman Valley wishes to advise Corella culling will be taking place in Nabawa over the next few weeks (until Mid-May) to continue management of Corella numbers. Shire staff will conduct the cull outside of school hours and will advise Northampton Police of these times.⁣
⁣
Staff are required to recover all euthanised Corellas when culled, but there will be occasions where a Corella may fall onto a resident’s properties or in an area inaccessible or out of sight of the contractor.⁣
⁣
Culls of this nature are required to reduce the number of Corellas which will in turn result in less community complaints and reduced infrastructure and flora damage, however the numbers need to be managed on an ongoing basis.⁣
⁣
The Shire of Chapman Valley thanks for you for your understanding during this time.⁣
