Hanns grasps opportunity

BEING appointed Parliamentary Secretary to Premier Mark McGowan is seen by Collie-Preston MLA Jodie Hanns as an opportunity to bring knowledge and experience to her role as a local MP.

“It’s an opportunity to be working directly alongside the Premier, who we know is committed to securing Collie a bright future, in all of his roles; as Pre- mier, Treasurer, Minister for Public Sector Management and Federal-State relations,” Mrs Hanns said.

“The role allows me greater ability to work and deliver the WA Government’s plans for Collie and the wider region –in turn creating new local jobs, bringing people into town, and delivering new infrastructure projects.” murals that is tied to the people and families of Collie, and this is a beautiful and very well produced journey to understanding how this transpires into the artists’ work.

“Once this is released, and it showcases the amazing mural artwork here in the town, we can certainly expect the interest to visit Collie will pick up.”

Mr Kearney said the film may be released at the forthcoming Labour Day festival.

Tourism precinct concerns

Two Collie Shire councillors raised questions over the proposed development of a $1.7 million tourism precinct at Collie's western entrance in 2003 - despite the State Government's pledge of a $500,000 grant.

The councillors thought that the money would be better spent on other projects and services, including Collie's ambulance service.

Police called in back-up for party disturbance

Police reinforcements from Collie and Wagin were called to Darkan to help Williams police in the aftermath of an event attended by 950 people - including scores from Collie - at the Darkan Hotel. About 250 party-goers created a disturbance by doing burn-outs and street drags.

Lightning strikes sparked blazes

Forty fire-fighters - backed by three water-bombing aircraft and earth-moving machinery - battled three separate blazes sparked by lightning strikes in forest blocks around Collie.

The fire-fighters came from Margaret River, Kirup and Harvey to help tackle the blazes, which burnt about 26 hectares of state forest.

Wheelchair taxi service promised freedom

The conversion of a taxi to carry wheelchair-using passengers made life easier for many disabled Collie residents.

The Mario's taxi bus - converted at a cost of $11,000 - was the first in Collie to be fitted with special equipment to carry wheelchair-using passengers.

It gave disabled residents greater free- dom to travel around town and to other centres.

Dockers took time out in country

About 60 local youngsters were more than happy to brave the heat to meet eight Fremantle Dockers players and then-assistant coach Kelly O'Donnell at the Collie Recreation Ground. The visit was part of a four-day training camp and promotional tour of the South-West Sport

Trots trio were triumphant
