The City of Busselton Council has resolved at this time, not to support a proposal from the developer to permanently close sections of Northerly Street in Vasse, between Harlequin Boulevard and Yebble Drive.

In making its decision, the Council considered extensive community feedback received during the public advertising period from 12 December 2025 to 2 February 2026. More than 500 letters were distributed to residents and property owners in the Vasse locality, with two petitions and 121 submissions received, overwhelmingly opposing the proposed road closure.

The City of Busselton Council is inviting community feedback on proposed differential rates for the 2026/27 financial year, with the draft budget seeking to provide quality community services and facilities while balancing the impact on ratepayers.

The proposed budget includes an average rates increase of 7% for 2026/27, of which 1% contributes towards building the Cityโ€™s financial reserves for future sport and recreation facilities across the district.

Community members are encouraged to review the proposal and provide feedback through the Cityโ€™s engagement platform ๐Ÿ‘‰ yoursay.busselton.wa.gov.au/2026-27-differential-rates.

Consultation closes at 4.30pm on 3 July 2026.

Community safety is a key priority for our community, and a number of agencies have come together to take a coordinated approach.

The City of Busselton, in partnership with WA Police, the Department of Communities, St John WA, WA Country Health Service (WACHS) and the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES), is working collaboratively to develop a Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan. Edith Cowan University (ECU) has been engaged as an independent facilitator to support this work.

We want to understand which crime and community safety issues matter most to you.

To help set priorities and shape future actions, residents, workers and business owners across the City are invited to complete a short Community Safety Survey. Your feedback will help inform local strategies to improve safety and wellbeing for everyone.

๐Ÿ“ Complete the survey - https://yoursay.busselton.wa.gov.au/community-safety-action-plan
๐Ÿ—“ Closes - 5.00pm Sunday 5 July 2026
๐Ÿ‘ฅ Open to people aged 15+ who live, work or own a business in the City of Busselton

Community focus group sessions will also be held in the coming weeks, with more information to be released shortly. We encourage you to take part and help shape a safer Busselton.

This Tuesday 9 June to 10 June 2026, weโ€™re lighting up the City's Administration Building in recognition of Thank a First Responder Day.

First responders show up for our communities every day, often in high pressure, high-impact situations. Taking a moment to say thank you isnโ€™t just meaningful, it helps remind them that their service is seen, valued and appreciated.

Did you know the Busselton foreshore is home to a Changing Places facility, designed to support people with high support needs and their carers to enjoy our beautiful coastline comfortably and safely.

The Changing Places facility is accessible 24/7 via a MLAK key, giving you the freedom to visit at a time that suits you. If you donโ€™t have a MLAK key, one is available for use from the Busselton Information Centre.

Located alongside the Changing Places facility is a secure storeroom housing a beach wheelchair. The beach wheelchair can be booked online through the Busselton Information Centre via the link below ๐Ÿ‘‡

Whether youโ€™re a local or visiting, these facilities help ensure everyone can enjoy the foreshore. Please help spread the word โ€” accessible spaces help build a more inclusive community. ๐Ÿซถ

The City has implemented a new Fire Access Track Maintenance Program to ensure tracks remain safe, accessible, and ready for emergency response. The program works include:

โœ… Vegetation management (spraying and hand pruning)
โœ… Gate inspections and maintenance
โœ… Grading of tracks
โœ… Inspection and identification of areas requiring additional maintenance and/or capital upgrades

This program is essential for supporting quick and safe access for emergency services, particularly during bushfire season.

We appreciate your patience if you see crews working in your area. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿš’
