21.01.2022 Have you spotted one of the Towns new benches, did you know they are made from 100% recycled plastic? The plastic used comes from REDcycle bins located in Coles and Woolworths. The soft plastic collected is sent to Replas in Victoria where the plastic is shredded and moulded into new products. One bench alone is made out of around 15,000 to 17,500 pieces of soft plastic! This creates a circular system, reduces the need for virgin materials and results in less waste bein...g sent to landfill! For more information on Replas and how to REDcycle your soft plastics visit https://www.redcycle.net.au/resources/ Replas - Recycled Plastic Products

10.01.2022 A new mural depicting East Fremantle’s iconic locations will soon be revealed in Glasson Park as part of the Town’s commitment to public art and will also feature in a new Community Calendar for 2021, available for the community in early December.

The draft design was shared with the community in October, and submissions were invited from residents who nominated locations in the Town for inclusion in the new work. Local icons include: * Town Hall and former Plympton Post Office * Bougainvillea on George Street * Canning Highway house with ‘Freo Dockers’ garage door * Glasson Park * Leeuwin Barracks * The Left Bank and Tradewinds Hotel * Locke Park’s gazebo * Richmond Raceway * Royal George Hotel’s roof/spire * Shark Park * Swan River at Camp Waller and more.

01.01.2022 In these strange times, public art & bringing our local community together is more important than ever. Today (on the occasion of the Horses Birthday), the Tow...n of East Fremantle launched their public art project, at the Richmond Raceway Trotting Booths The steel windows (created by local sculptor Tony Jones and son Ben, pictured with Bens daughter Nancy & her horse, Bluebell) were laser-cut from Margaret River steel & feature famous horses from back when Richmond Raceway was still a trotting ground. Former owners, jockeys, their families, Councillors and local neigh-bours gathered today to unveil the artworks, and for one last race-call. One local legend is George Booth (pictured centre, alongside Town of East Fremantle Mayor Jim ONeill), whose Grandfather, George Booth, was the President of the Committee of the Fremantle Harness Racing Club, from 1943, and the namesake of this park. Thanks to the Town for inviting me, it was a was a pleasure to be at the mane event (with colleague Federal Member for Freo Josh Wilson MP)!

01.01.2022 EAST FREMANTLE CONDEMNS ACTS OF VANDALISM ON TREES - $5,000 REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTION The Town of East Fremantle has condemned the latest incident of street tree vandalism, hoping to deter future destructive acts and is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to a successful prosecution to encourage anyone who may have witnessed the damage to come forward and report it. This week it was reported that one of the newly planted Cook Isl...and Pines along Riverside Road had been damaged. The tree was only planted weeks ago, at a cost of $2,700, and the Council is frustrated that rate-payer’s money will be wasted to cover the cost of the tree’s replacement. Witnesses are encouraged to contact Town Rangers by phone to 9339 9339 or by email to [email protected] Full story at our website: https://www.eastfremantle.wa.gov.au//east-fremantle-/10422
