Congratulations to everyone who contributed in any way to a very successful, trouble free week. It is such a privilege to

be part of a dedicated and committed team of volunteer workers. The rewards in accolades and finance will further

enhance Kulin’s reputation as a “can do” community.

I think the following email sums up what this community has achieved.

Email fromEmail fromEmail fromEmail from the Managing Director at Concert & Corporatethe Managing Director at Concert & Corporatethe Managing Director at Concert & Corporatethe Managing Director at Concert & Corporate –

“I have attended many events and festivals and had the pleasure in managing some of them, but I have to admit I

have never seen an event so well managed by a group of volunteers in all my life. It proved on thing, people who work

on the land know what hard work is all about. Well done to everyone that worked at the Kulin Bush Races you are all

incredible and put on the best event I have ever been too.”

Kulin Shire Council Elections

I am seeking election to the Kulin Shire Council and would appreciate your support with a

vote in the upcoming election on Saturday the 19TH

of October or with an absentee vote

prior.

For those who do not know me here is a brief outline.

I have lived in the Kulin Shire all my life and am married with 2 children at school in Kulin. I

am currently a member of the school board.

I have operated a transport business in town for the past 25 years and am keen to see Kulin

grow and prosper as a regional centre ensuring that we have the ability to attract and retain

new people to our shire.

For the past 14 years I have been actively involved in various transport industry associations

and a member of various advisory groups and committees both within W.A and nationally. I

was President of the Livestock and Rural Transporters Association of WA for 7 years and Vice

President of the national body for 4 years. During this time I have gained valuable experience

in dealing with local, state and federal governments as well as representing individual

members negotiating suitable outcomes.

I believe that as a shire we need to:

be protecting our local rail service;

encourage new support businesses to Kulin

continue expanding senior services

explore the benefits and risks with shire amalgamation

If I am given the opportunity to represent the Kulin community I believe that with my past

experience I will be able to make a positive contribution to Kulin and its residents.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

The site works which have recently begun in the area parallel to Johnston Street are hard to miss.

This is all part of the new Visitor Discovery ZoneVisitor Discovery ZoneVisitor Discovery ZoneVisitor Discovery Zone landscaping project which will transform Kulin’s main street

precinct in to an area where locals and visitors can relax and recreate. It extends from the Community Resource

Centre down to the new Fuel Facility on Johnston Street.

The Visitor Discovery Zone is a significant development for the Kulin region for both the community and tourism.

It will showcase Kulin in a unique and informal way, giving visitors a sense of the region’s history and identity.

The reinvigoration of the area will continue to unfold over the coming months and once complete will include:

• Tin Horse Highway Interpretation AreaTin Horse Highway Interpretation AreaTin Horse Highway Interpretation AreaTin Horse Highway Interpretation Area – This will include a shelter with interpretive signage which presents

information, stories and history about the Bush Races and Tin Horse Highway.

• War Memorial War Memorial War Memorial War Memorial –––– Includes a memorial wall and area for ANZAC Day Services.

• Town Centre Park Town Centre Park Town Centre Park Town Centre Park –––– BBQ facilities, lawn area, picnic shelter and a low stage for outdoor performances.

• Interpretation Nodes Interpretation Nodes Interpretation Nodes Interpretation Nodes –––– a series of circular nodes throughout the zone, each with a different theme will give

locals and visitors an appreciation of Kulin’s history, culture and attractions.

• Drainage Drainage Drainage Drainage –––– The drains throughout the area will be rocked and revegetated to enhance both their function and

aesthetics.

• Gardens and Planting Gardens and Planting Gardens and Planting Gardens and Planting ---- A lot of effort has gone into ensuring that the plants which are planted in the Visitor
