𝗠𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 – 𝟭𝟱-𝟮𝟭 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲

This week is a reminder to check in – on your health, your habits, and each other!

Men’s Health Week is all about raising awareness of the health challenges men face, and encouraging simple, positive steps towards better physical and mental wellbeing. Whether it’s booking that overdue check-up, getting active, having a chat with a mate, or taking a moment to reset – small actions can make a big difference.

Why not check out the gym and classes that the Waroona Recreation and Aquatic Centre have to offer, catch up with a mate for a fish at Drakesbrook Weir, or take a refreshing stroll along Preston Beach? Check in with your local GP and see what services and supports they may be able to offer.

Looking after your health is something worth prioritising! If you’ve been putting something off, maybe this is your sign to take that first step.

The Hard Waste Collection will begin on 15 June and will be undertaken in the following order:

📍 Lake Clifton
📍 Preston Beach
📍 Hamel and Waroona Townsite

Please note that different waste types are collected separately, so some items may remain on the verge after an initial collection pass.

🚛 Collection sequence:
• Refrigerators (degassing)
• Bulk rubbish and scrap metal
• E-waste
• Mattresses

Mattresses and e-waste are collected separately to support recycling and resource recovery, while collecting mattresses last helps improve safety and efficiency.

The contractor aims to complete the collection within the two-week collection period, however, this may vary depending on collection volumes and weather conditions.

Thank you for your patience while the collection is underway.

⚠️ PRESTON BEACH SOUTH ACCESS CLOSED ⚠️

Despite warnings provided via the on-site Variable Message Sign (VMS) trailer and recent Shire social media updates, a number of vehicles became stranded on Preston Beach over the weekend due to the current beach conditions.

Recent storm activity has created significant drop-offs, reduced beach width, and unstable driving surfaces, making beach access unsafe for many vehicles.

To protect public safety and prevent further incidents, the southern beach access at Preston Beach has now been temporarily closed until conditions improve.

The Shire appreciates the community's cooperation and reminds all visitors to observe warning signs, assess conditions carefully, and avoid unnecessary risks when visiting coastal areas.

Updates will be provided as conditions change.

Thank you for your understanding and assistance in helping keep Preston Beach safe for everyone.
