22.01.2022 One way to slow the spread of viruses, such as coronavirus, is physical distancing. The more space between you and others, the harder it is for the virus to spread. As states and territories ease restrictions, it is important everyone continues to stay 1.5 metres away from others wherever possible.... Physical distancing means reducing the number of close physical and social contacts we have with other people. Steps for physical distancing in public includes: minimising all unnecessary contact with others keeping at least 1.5 metres (minimum) away from others avoiding physical greetings such as handshaking, hugs and kisses using tap and pay instead of cash For more information visit: https://healthywa.wa.gov.au/Articles/A_E/Coronavirus or https://www.health.gov.au/

01.01.2022 You may have noticed our Parks & Gardens and Town Construction crews busy working near the James Street jetty yesterday and this morning dismantling some of the seating out along the groyne. This is in preparation to making the site safe for a helicopter company which will soon be offering sightseeing flights from this location. Following input from our Streetscape Advisory Committee, consisting of a number of community members, this furniture will be repurposed into the CBD area in an effort to create more seating and in keeping with the overall theme of our foreshore - providing better linkages between both our CBC and bay #SummerinEsperance
