UPDATE: Repairs are now complete and the Waste management Centre has reopened.

🚧 Mandurah Waste Management Centre – temporary closure to general rubbish

Please be advised that the Waste Management Centre is currently closed to all general rubbish due to a critical plant failure.

This closure applies to both residential and commercial general waste and is expected to remain in place for the next 4–5 days while the issue is investigated and repairs carried out.

⚠️ As trucks need to dispose of waste at alternative sites, there may be delays (up to 24 hours) to both household rubbish and recycling collections. We kindly ask residents to leave their bins out on the verge until they are collected, even if they are not serviced on their usual day. Junk and metals verge collections will continue as normal.

✅ The Waste Management Centre remains open for all other waste streams, including green waste, inert materials, scrap metals (recycling), e-waste, mattresses, cardboard, and household hazardous waste.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Have your say on the future of Mandurah Ocean Marina 🌊

We’re seeking community feedback on a proposed planning change for two waterfront sites at Breakwater Parade and Dolphin Drive.

This proposal would update planning rules, including land use and building heights, to guide future development in this key location.

It could support future tourism opportunities, such as a hotel, but does not approve a building. Your feedback will help shape what’s appropriate for this area.

💬 Financial Abuse Awareness Series

Financial abuse isn’t always obvious but it’s more common than people realise.

It can look like someone controlling your money, limiting your access to income or taking away your financial independence. It can happen in relationships, within families or even after separation.

Over the coming days, Money Mentors will be sharing a series to help break down the different ways financial abuse can show up including:
▪️ Intimate partner financial abuse
▪️ Post-separation financial abuse
▪️ Elder financial abuse
▪️ Other often unrecognised forms

Understanding the signs is the first step in supporting yourself or someone else.

If this resonates with you or someone you know, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Today I had the privilege of attending the ANZAC Service at Mandurah Primary School, a deeply moving and reflective gathering that brought together students, families, veterans, and community members in a shared act of remembrance.

From the moment the service began, there was a quiet reverence across the grounds. The stillness carried a weight of respect, as young voices spoke with sincerity and courage, recounting the stories and sacrifices that shape our national identity. It was powerful to see the next generation not only learning about our history, but honouring it with such genuine understanding.

I was honoured to stand among Cr. Dave Schumacher, representatives from the Mandurah RSL and our amazing community members, all of us united in acknowledging the service and sacrifice of those who have served our country.

One of the most poignant moments came during the raising of the flags. As they slowly ascended, catching the morning light, there was a collective pause. You could feel the emotion in the air. The silence was profound, broken only by the soft movement of the flags and the quiet reflection of those gathered. It was a moment that seemed to transcend generations, connecting past and present in a powerful tribute.

Services like this remind us of the importance of community, of remembrance, and of carrying forward the legacy of those who gave so much. It was an honour to be part of such a meaningful occasion.

Well done City of Mandurah on completing the stage 7 upgrades to Pinjarra Road 2 months ahead of schedule.

🤩 We’re thrilled to announce Stage 7 upgrades to Pinjarra Road (at the Anstruther Road intersection) are now complete! 🚗

👷 Our crews packed up the final traffic cones last Friday, 10 April. That’s almost two months ahead of the original schedule!

The works have provided major improvements to the road, including the addition of new right-turn traffic signals thanks to the Australian Government Black Spot Program. We’ve also developed a smoother road surface, new kerbing, and footpaths.

💙 We know these works have taken time, and we appreciate the patience of our community, local businesses and road users throughout construction.

With Stage 7 now complete, the upgraded section will provide a safer and more efficient road for everyone travelling through the area.
