Debra Bishop (SPH Deputy Chair on behalf of the SPH Committee) writes: Save Perth Hills Inc. (SPH) is blown away by the generosity, talent and incredible community spirit of Darlington!

On June 10, Darlington Hall was packed for a 5-star Community Variety Concert to raise funds for Save Perth Hills.

Singing, exotic dancing, musicians, piano duets and poetry recitals, along with raffles donated by local businesses and a home-made pop-up cake stall!

Chris Durrant’s MC-ing was an Academy Award performance, as were ALL the fantastic artists who offered their time, and talents, for the SPH Community. An incredible $4000 was raised! WOW!

The Kitchen Table Conversation is a safe and respectful space where community members come together to explore the issues that underpin the referendum for constitutional recognition.

This initiative welcomes individuals from all walks of life, regardless of their background or level of knowledge on the subject, your voice and perspective are valuable contributions to this

Participants will have the opportunity to share their thoughts, ask questions, and engage with diverse viewpoints, all while upholding principles of mutual respect and understanding.

We encourage you to join us and be party of this meaningful community initiative. Your participation will not only deepen your own understanding of the issues at hand but also contribute to the collective effort of building a more inclusive and equitable society.
