Small pile burns can be an effective way to reduce vegetation on larger properties but it's important to do them safely 🔥

🎥 Here's some simple tips on how to conduct a safe small pile burn and reduce the risk of your fire escaping.

Before lighting any fire, remember:
✅ Check if you need a permit and the dates you're allowed to burn

👕 Wear appropriate protective clothing, including long sleeves, gloves, eye protection and boots

🪏 Clear a 5-metre area around the burn site, make sure there are no overhanging branches and have water on site

🌤️ Check weather conditions and don't burn on windy days

📞 Inform your neighbours and register your burn with DFES on 9395 9209

🔥 Stay with the burn at all times and ensure it is completely extinguished before leaving

🚫Pile burns are not permitted on Sundays, public holidays or on properties less than 1,200m2

Council decisions from this week's meeting 👇

🌳 Urban Forest Strategy adopted
Council adopted the Urban Forest Strategy 2026, setting a long-term vision to grow tree canopy across the City's urban areas and improve resilience to climate change. The strategy includes an aspirational target of 30% canopy cover by 2052 and will guide future tree planting, community education and urban greening initiatives.

♻️ Landfill carbon reduction project extended
Council approved extending the City's Landfill Flaring Project, allowing methane emissions to continue being captured and converted into Australian Carbon Credit Units. The project is expected to deliver ongoing environmental benefits while generating future revenue that can be reinvested into carbon reduction initiatives.

🛣️ Additional road resurfacing works approved
Council approved expanding planned resurfacing works in Kelmscott to include Hilltop Place, Teresa Court and part of Hamersley Street. Completing the works together will improve efficiency, reduce disruption for residents and help extend the life of local roads.

♿ Disability Access and Inclusion Plan endorsed
Council endorsed the Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2026–2031 following community consultation. The consultation attracted 872 visits to the City's Engage page, with feedback highlighting opportunities to improve accessibility in public spaces, information, employment, transport and community participation. The Plan will guide ongoing improvements to ensure people of all abilities can access and participate in City services, facilities and programs.

🎆 Fireworks approved for the Kelmscott Show
Council approved a fireworks event notice for the 2026 Kelmscott Agricultural Show, supporting one of the City's long-running community events.

Great community facilities can be years in the making. 📚

The need for a library to serve the growing communities of Piara Waters and Harrisdale was first identified through the City's strategic library planning as far back as 2005.
Over the years, those plans evolved. A leased facility at Harrisdale Shopping Centre was initially considered, before Council decided in 2020 to construct a City-owned library, with the Piara Waters Oval precinct ultimately selected as its home.

Planning for the site began in 2021, with plenty to consider. The design needed to fit an approximately 1,000m² building on a constrained site, while creating an open, accessible and welcoming community space. Local demographics, including the area's high proportion of children and younger adults, also helped inform the design.

Community engagement with local young people contributed to the integrated youth space, while teams across the City considered everything from functionality and accessibility to materials, maintenance, durability and how the building would serve a growing community well into the future.

The design itself also responds to its surroundings, using light, open spaces and natural elements, with materials such as timber and brick providing subtle links to Armadale's landscape and heritage.

Construction began in mid-2023, turning years of planning into the facility the community enjoys today.

Since opening, Piara Waters Library has welcomed 225,000 visitors, loaned items out 475,000 times, and hosted 24,000 attendees at various events. It’s proven particularly popular with young people and families and has also been recognised as the Parks and Leisure WA Community Facility of the Year - the first time the award has gone to a library!

It's a great example of how planning for tomorrow's community infrastructure can start many years before the doors finally open.

Good road projects start well before construction begins 🛣️

For some of the City's road rehabilitation projects, planning starts 12 to 18 months before crews arrive on site, helping ensure projects are well scoped, designed and ready for delivery.

The Metropolitan Regional Road Group (MRRG) program is a great example. It provides funding to help the City renew eligible distributor roads, with Main Roads WA generally contributing two-thirds of the funding and the City contributing the remainder.

To develop a project, City teams bring together road condition information, pavement testing, traffic volumes and heavy vehicle use. This helps determine the right treatment before drawings, cost estimates and a detailed project scope are prepared to support the funding application.

It's a collaborative effort across Asset, Engineering Design and Program Delivery, combining condition assessment, technical design, costing and delivery planning.

Starting this work early also gives the City the opportunity to seek significant external funding and make its own investment go further, while planning road improvements that will provide lasting benefits for the community.

It's all part of the work that happens well before construction begins to help keep our road network safe, reliable and working well into the future 🔮
