23.01.2022 BUNBURY MOVES ON BEACH SMOKING BAN Smoking is one step closer to being banned at the Koombana Bay Foreshore. In 2019 City of Bunbury councillors voted to support a proposed local law banning the smoking of tobacco products at the foreshore.... Last night councillors unanimously adopted the local law which will also give councillors the power to ban smoking from other public areas in the City in the future. The law will now be gazetted within four weeks. Would you like to see smoking banned in other places as well?

20.01.2022 POISON WARNING: 'KEEP DOGS AT HOME' The Department of Parks and Wildlife is urging pet owners to leave them at home or keep them muzzled to avoid poisoning. 1080 baits will be dropped in a number of national parks throughout the State including Fitzgerald National Park, Cape Arid, Warren and the Northern Jarrah Forest.... Albany veterinarian Malcolm Webb says the survival rate for dogs who ingest 1080 poison is poor. "1080 baiting is just a really highly toxic and very efficient bait so the hassle of it is usually once animals show some degree of symptoms, usually they won't survive. Survival rate is really poor to the extent that sometimes people say if the animal survives it didn't have 1080," he said. Picture: DBCA
