Community Barbecue

Wow, thanks to all the people who helped out. We had over sixty local residents to talk with each other, with John McGrath, Mayor James Best and Councillors Sue Doherty and myself.

There was lots of spirited conversation about community issues, the Canning Bridge development, Network City, local crime, traffic matters, town planning and possible future developments.

One common theme was about making sure that we keep our park. We all value Olives Reserve and appreciate its long history in the City of South Perth.

Janet Reid did a masterful job of raising community participation in the event, Lyn helped with getting the notices distributed, John and Lou did a masterful job on the barbecue, many others contributed food and help. Thank you all.
