Countdown to Cat Laws Is your cat registered with the City of Wanneroo?

City of Wanneroo Presents: Lisa Mitchell and Josh Pyke The City of Wanneroo is proud to bring its residents another free first-class concert on Saturday, 9 November at Wanneroo Showgrounds, this time featuring two of Australia’s prominent artists, Lisa Mitchell and Josh Pyke.

Fresh from supporting a national tour for Neil Finn and Paul Kelly and recently releasing her debut album Bless this Mess, Lisa Mitchell is excited to be heading over with her four piece band and entertaining the residents of Wanneroo.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone... I’ve only really hung out in Perth and I have some friends in Bunbury and that’s about it, so I’m excited to see more of the countryside, you are all so lucky over there,” she said.

“My last album came out just late last year so I will be playing at least half new stuff and definitely some old goldies.

“You’d be crazy not to come down and hang out with us and have a beautiful time.” - Lisa Mitchell

Not only is Mitchell looking forward to playing at the concert, but also to be co-headlining with Pyke.

“I grew up listening to Josh, so for me he’s a huge inspiration. He’s very much and has always been in my musical psyche so yeah, I love him, I’ve always been very inspired by his work,” she explained.

“You’d be crazy not to come down and hang out with us and have a beautiful time.”

Off the back of his recent national tour for his new album The Beginning and the End of Everything, you’ll be moved by the tunes of Josh Pyke. Known for his ability to weave intelligent lyrics with warm melodies and quirky song structures, Pyke will bring modern day story telling depth for all to enjoy.

“I really think at these sorts of events people are there to have a good time, they’re there to hear songs that they know and [I’m] there to engage with an audience as a whole. I will be playing all the stuff from my records, all the singles, things like that,” Pyke announced.

Lisa Mitchell.

“I love Lisa Mitchell’s stuff, I’ve always thought she was super, super talented and I’ve enjoyed her most recent stuff as well so I think it’s going to be good fun.”

Pyke said he loved playing free shows because it opens up the demographic and he wants to see everyone get involved in the community spirit and come along on the day.

“It’s so nice when it’s a free gig. You can come down and see the community being together. It feels really inclusive,” he explained.

“It’s a chance for me to play to families and also all ages, kids that I often don’t get to play gigs to. It’s always a great vibe.

“Not every community gets events at this sort of level put on for them just for their enjoyment.”

Don’t miss your chance to see these incredible acts, the concert is suitable for the whole family with kids’ entertainment, a youth area and plenty of fun activities for everyone to enjoy from 4pm-10pm.

Bring along a picnic or visit one of the many food and drink vendors on the day.

“It’s so nice when it’s a free gig... you can come down and see the community being together, it feels really inclusive.”

- Josh Pyke

Boost for City’s Health Services

The $22 million project will provide much-needed health services to the region, offering general practitioner, nursing and midwifery services to the community whilst providing teaching and research opportunities for ECU students and staff.

It will also deliver allied health services such as clinical psychology, physiotherapy, speech pathology, occupational therapy, nutrition and exercise physiology, along with Indigenous health and visiting specialist services.

ECU Vice-Chancellor Professor Kerry Cox, Mayor Tracey Roberts and ECU Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Health Advancement) Professor Cobie Rudd.

ECU Vice-Chancellor Professor Kerry Cox said construction began on the Dundebar Road site on 30 January, and was progressing well.

“I am pleased to say that the project is progressing on time with a practical completion date in mid2014,” Professor Cox said.

The internal fit-out will then take place mid-year, and the clinic is expected to be operational by October 2014.

The four level office-style Health Centre, which includes a basement car park, has an overall gross floor area of more than 4,000sqm and will provide parking for 70 cars.

Earthworks have been finalised, lift cores poured, a brick retaining wall and

the ground floor slab completed and concreting of the first floor is being finalised. The project is currently on budget as well.

“Access to healthcare is vital, especially in such a rapidly growing region,” Wanneroo Mayor Tracey Roberts said. “Once complete, the ECU Health Centre will become one of our greatest community assets, providing for our residents’ health needs
