18.01.2022 A reminder that from tomorrow, 5 December 2020, particular businesses must maintain contact registers. While there are no community cases of COVID-19 in WA, con...tact registers will help the WA Department of Health to complete COVID-19 contact tracing, if required. This is an additional measure to keep the community safe, in the event of an outbreak. The free SafeWA app provides an easy way for businesses and individuals to register their details. More information is available here: www.wa.gov.au//covi/covid-19-coronavirus-contact-registers Information in other languages: https://www.wa.gov.au//covid-19-coronavirus-advice-other-l

17.01.2022 Bassendeanus Recyclus is back again! If you're planning your gift shopping, take a moment to consider the items and associated waste you're bringing into a love...d one's home. Maybe its time to consider 'experience' gifts rather than physical items. Just think of all that wastefull packaging you'll be avoiding!

16.01.2022 Trick or Treating for Dummies PART 3 Supervision?... Its up to Mums and Dads to decide how old their kids need to be to trick or treat independently, so just use your best judgement when heading out. Remember though those kids might be riding a sugar rush so be careful when crossing roads, especially at twilight. Facemasks make it doubly dangerous! Make an evening of it Its so much more fun when you can make an outing of it by inviting some classmates and their parents. It’s a great opportunity to get to know your neighbours too! Keen on Halloween is not just for the kids. It gets you out on your local streets to meet other Mums and Dads who are on the same parental 'journey' as you How do you ‘trick’ instead of ‘treat’? Look. Just don’t go there.... You have to crawl before you can walk, and as it’s a fairly new phenomenon on the Australian landscape, we’re probably not that open to being pranked. ‘Treat or Treat’ just doesn’t sound right though does it? Find out more on trick or treat tips here: https://keenonhalloween.com.au/tips

15.01.2022 Are you Keen on Halloween? Decorate your letterbox on the night to let your neighbourhood know that you are open for ‘trick or treating’! or...... Why not register your house so people know where to go to ‘trick or treat’? You don't even need to live in the Town of Bassendean! To register go to: www.keenonhalloween.com.au/register View the map of those households participating at: www.keenonhalloween.com.au/map ...and after you've finished pounding the streets, head down to the BIC Reserve in Bassendean for a special 'Halloween Markets'! Photos, games, prizes, food.... All from 5-9pm!

14.01.2022 Jacob's back again!

14.01.2022 FOGO...Coming soon to a verge near you! Get all your FOGO questions answered here: www.bassendean.wa.gov.au/services/waste-recycling/fogo.aspx

14.01.2022 Trick or Treating for Dummies: PART 1 What are the ‘rules’?... Well... there’s no 'rules' to trick or treating, but because we Aussies are relative rookies in this area, here are some tips on etiquette: Where do I find a home that’s ‘keen’ to participate? Just head to the ‘map’ page which will not only show you which houses are happy to participate, but also lets you know what are the best hours to come around. Go to: www.keenonhalloween.com.au/map How do I approach a home to trick or treat? It’s recommended you simply knock on their door and yell Trick or Treat? when someone answers. It’s OK for Mum or Dad to tag along too. Find out more on trick or treat tips here: https://keenonhalloween.com.au/tips

12.01.2022 This year's Halloween is kinda special as it falls on a Saturday, and as a sequel to last year's amazing 'Spookfest' we are running a special 'Halloween Markets...' on BIC reserve from 5-9pm. Now there's a great destination after you've finished your 'trick or treating' for a professional photo of that amazing costume, Halloween games, or dinner from the food trucks if Mum and Dad are over all those sugary treats. Why not register your house so people know where to go to ‘trick or treat’? To register go to: www.keenonhalloween.com.au/register View the map of those households participating at: www.keenonhalloween.com.au/map

12.01.2022 Trick or Treating for Dummies PART 2 It’s a bit of a transaction... If possible/suitable, kids get dressed up in their spooky outfits, and households reward those efforts with a tasty treat. Be sure not to turn away kids who haven't had an opportunity to dress up though. Handfuls of treats? Households will generally have a basket or some sort of container containing treats. It’s probably not an invitation to grab a handful, but rather one or two treats so that there are plenty left for others. Same goes for unattended treat baskets just take a couple. Single use plastics? *UPDATED - See below* If you’re dressing up or decorating, make sure you keep that stuff for next year instead of binning it and buying new each time. Even better, get your craft on and make your own! Those plastic wrapped treats are not great either. Piles of single use lolly wrappers are not a great look around your house for the following few weeks, and even worse blown around our suburban streets. Find out more on trick or treat tips here: https://keenonhalloween.com.au/tips *UPDATE* The Health Department have just provided the following COVID19 advice: Only hand out individually wrapped treats Don't share clothing or face masks Interact in the front yard rather than at the front door Opt out if you have any respiratory symptoms Carry and use hand sanitiser Remember the 2 sqm rule
