STAGE TWO
PMRA representatives attended a Mandurah Matters cruise in November to comment on what
|
|
|
|
|
matters most to us about Mandurah now and in the future. The City has distilled all the feedback from Stage One into 4 common themes:
Social ~ Economic ~ Environmental ~ Health
The next step is to explore these themes in more detail at facilitated think tank sessions. These are open to all and we are encouraged to get involved.
To book your spot for one or more of these sessions

Reporting a non-compliant marine vessel
The Department of Transport (Marine Safety) have produced an
updated report form should you wish them to investigate an offending vessel.
If formal reporting is not for you, consider naming and shaming on the
Eyes on the Water Peel facebook page which was set up in consultation with the Water Police. Their advice is to consider your own safety before taking any photos.

Biosecurity alert - Asian paddle crab update
Crabbers are reminded to stay on the lookout after an Asian paddle crab was found in the Swan River last month.
This invasive pest has recently encroached on New Zealand’s marine life, eating shellfish, small crustaceans, and competing with New Zealand’s native crabs for habitat and food.
Check out
this facebook post for how to spot and report the pest.

CCTV Cameras on Mandurah Bridge
The PMRA Committee first called for pedestrian safety cameras on the bridge way back during the design phase, so we're delighted that a total of 10 cameras have been installed and are operational on the footpath on the new Mandurah Bridge.
For more information about these and other upgrades in Mandurah
please click here for news from Cr. Peter Rogers.
