I have signed this petition.

People have contacted me seeking assistance with their objections to this commercial lease.

It appears the work has already commenced. I hope those who object to this activity remember this at the next local government elections in October 2027.

Get involved and put your hand up if you don't agree with the current elected members.

This evening I had the pleasure of attending the City of Kalamunda's Compassionate Communities Legacy Lantern Ceremony at Stirk Park.

It's an opportunity for locals to light a lantern and float it on the pond in remembrance of a deceased loved one.

The wonderful Ruth from the City created Compassionate Communities to encourage kindness and support for people who are grieving or for people who have a family member who is aging and needs assistance and those in palliative care.

Tonight I dedicated my lantern to Kumanjayi Little Baby and the people of the NT. ❤️

The 26/27 budget includes:

A new early childhood centre at Glen Forrest Primary School plus reverse cycle air con at Mundaring Primary School, Mount Helena Primary School and Kalamunda Primary School.

I am so excited to see these election commitments be delivered.

Every West Aussie kid deserves a quality education.

A big part of that is making sure our schools are great learning environments for students and teachers - with the capacity to keep up with growing communities.

That’s why we’re investing $2.1 billion in our schools over the next four years.

This year's State Budget includes new funding that will upgrade schools, expand capacity, and help build new schools across WA.

It builds on the 38 new schools we’ve already opened since 2017 - helping make sure families can access a great education, no matter where they live.

Yesterday, I took some friends to La Fattoria Perth Hills for a Nonnas Table lunch. It was so lovely and highly recommended. The staff were outstanding.

La Fattoria 𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘏𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴 I was fortunate to be invited to @lafattoriaperthhills on Sunday for a friend's birthday - and omg, what a stunning place! We were welcomed with open arms to this beautiful family owned and operated Italian restaurant, nestled in the Piesse Brook valley in Perth Hills. Being a Sunday, we had the 5 Course Nonna’s Family Table, which was divine. Taken at our own pace, with time to enjoy the beautiful vineyard/orchard views between courses. This self-pacing gives guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the whole La Fattoria experience. All guests booked for Nonna’s Family Table also receive complimentary wine tasting prior to their meal which helped us choose which wine we'd prefer to accompany our meal. This was a truly wonderful experience which has left me thinking about all the food, the wine and the warm hospitality we received. I'd certainly recommend visiting this hidden gem, especially during this lovely Autumn weather 𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘏𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴. #inperthhills

Trish and I had a lovely morning in Mundaring today.

This is great news! During my time on council this was a very important issue. We need to protect our unique wildlife and this gives the Shire the power to enforce cat containment.

Amendments to the Cat Act have been introduced to Parliament!

If passed, the amendments will empower local governments to make and enforce local laws regarding cat containment.

Local councils will be able to engage with their communities on how they approach cat management and make local laws which reflect the needs of their community.

These amendments will better protect native wildlife and our much loved pet cats.

So that’s a win-win! 🙌

Urgent Care comes to Mundaring!

Seven days, extended hours, free with your MedicareCard and I heard a rumour that there will be an XRay as well!

I love this program. Unfortunately due to power issues these can't be delivered by clicking your finger however it's on the way.

Our kids deserve quality schools and I will always advocate for quality public education.
