I know my fellow councillors love creativity and it was certainly a joy to celebrate it! Very inspiring and creative work. 👌

Hi all,

I thought I would share a few links that people may find useful or may not be aware of. As always, if I can be of any assistance, please reach out. 👋

📍 Here is the "Armadale Community Directory" - which is an online platform to assist residents in connecting with local services, groups and organisations.🏏🎾🎭🧸🧩🩰

📍Here is the "My Community Directory" - includes details of activities and events hosted by listed groups and services. 🏏🎾🎭🧸🧩🩰

📍 List of upcoming events within the city of Armadale📆

📍 Here is the link for council minutes and agendas should you wish to see what we have been discussing at council: 📑📝 https://my.armadale.wa.gov.au/service/agendas-and-minutes/

📍Here is a link on volunteering and opportunities that exist in the city: 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Lastly, the YouTube video, while slightly old, shows a bit about what Armadale has to offer business and economic wise. It also(I think) gives a good overview of what has been going on in the Armadale area recently, and provides a good perspective on our different areas within the city. It can be hard to get to know our city well and know whats going on when it is so large!

However, we plan to share with the community further information on business investment opportunities in the coming months. 😀
