Thinking about your future in agriculture?

Today is Thank a First Responder Day, and we would like to take a moment to recognise and thank the incredible people who dedicate their time, skills and commitment to keeping our community safe.

A big thank you to St John Ambulance Boyup Brook, Boyup Brook Bush Fire Brigade's, Boyup Brook Volunteer Fire and Rescue Service, Boyup Brook Police, and the State Emergency Service (SES) for the vital work you do throughout the year.

Our volunteer first responders give up countless hours of their own time to train, attend emergencies, support community events and answer the call whenever help is needed, along with our local Police officers, who show an amazing commitment to protect and support our community. Their dedication, courage and willingness to serve make a real difference in our lives.

Whether responding to fires, medical emergencies, accidents, storms or other incidents, our first responders are there when we need them most. Their service helps make Boyup Brook a safer and stronger community for everyone.

Southwest WA Storm Update & Long Weekend Prep

As we head into the long weekend, the Bureau of Meteorology is tracking some significant storm systems expected to bring heavy rain and damaging winds to our region.
Before the rough weather arrives, it’s a good idea to take a few simple steps to prepare for possible power outages and local road closures:

⛽ Top up your fuel tanks: If the power goes out, fuel pumps at local service stations may not operate. Filling up today could save you a trip later.
🔌 Check your generator: Give it a test start and make sure you have sufficient fuel on hand if you plan to rely on it during an outage.
🥫 Stock up on essentials: Consider picking up a few extra grocery items in case roads are temporarily affected by flooding, fallen trees or debris
📞 Keep important numbers handy:
• Shire Tree Down Hotline: 0429 403 487
• SES: 132 500
• Main Roads WA: 138 138
• Western Power: 13 13 51
🚗 If you're travelling, please take extra care on the roads and drive to the conditions.

And honestly, if you don't need to be anywhere this weekend, it might be the perfect excuse to stay indoors, keep warm, and enjoy a movie marathon or catch up on your favourite shows.

Stay safe everyone and have a wonderful long weekend!
