06.01.2022 Have a great weekend everyone!

06.01.2022 It is likely that there will be an increase in the number of the mosquito Aedes vigilax, commonly called a saltmarsh mosquito, following the high tide on the 16 November and the rainfall on the 23 November. Environmental Health Officers from the Shire would like to advise the community to take extra precautions to protect against mosquitos this weekend. If the westerly winds keep up, mosquitos will hopefully be kept away from the town. ... Mosquitos often find shelter around dense plants and shaded areas. Please take care this weekend especially if you are getting into the garden, heading out fishing, or just getting outside to enjoy the start of the wet season. Cover up with repellent and long loose-fitting clothing, and get rid of anything that may be holding water around your home. More information can be found here - https://www.broome.wa.gov.au//Pu/Mosquito-and-Pest-Control #fightthebite

05.01.2022 Heading up the Dampier Peninsula this weekend? Please heed this advice from residents and business owners.

04.01.2022 We hope to see a good crowd at the Town Beach Markets tonight - but Shire rangers want to ensure everyone is doing the right thing. Drivers, please do not park on footpaths as it prevents pedestrians accessing the area, or in gardens as it can cause costly damage. The Town Beach precinct is also a dog prohibited area, even on lead, unless you are walking your dog directly to the beach. ... Rangers will be patrolling tonight to ensure people can safely attend and enjoy the markets.

04.01.2022 An important date in the calendar today - is there someone in your life that you need to ask R U OK?
