Town Newsletter
During times like we are currently experiencing; it is important to safely keep
an eye out for those in your immediate community who may need assistance.
Our letterboxes provide a non-contact channel to communicate. A note in a
letterbox with your contact number and offer to assist may provide comfort
to someone who does not have a local support network.
In this edition of the Whitby Newsletter we feature local events programs
and other activities that are currently suspended or postponed. Please
keep up to date via relevant websites to ensure you have the most current
information available.
The Serpentine Jarrahdale community is full of active community participants. These people are interested in their
local environment, support local businesses and volunteer their time
to see shared facilities and activities become available to everyone. One
of the latest examples of this is the reinvigoration of the Serpentine
Jarrahdale Community Resource Centre (CRC) on Paterson Road. The
CRC had been closed for some time, but thanks to local volunteers and
Shire support, this wonderful community facility is now up and running
again. There is more information featured in this newsletter.
In this edition, we also feature the Bush Fire Ready group for Serpentine
Jarrahdale. Again – staffed by volunteers, this organisation is established
to provide information and services to their local community members
on how to be bush fire ready. Do you and your family have a plan in place
in the case of a bushfire? These are the people who can help you quickly
and easily put a workable plan in place.

The Serpentine Jarrahdale Bushfire Ready Group has a team
of Facilitators who are members of Bushfire Brigades located
in the Serpentine Jarrahdale Shire. They have the training and
experience to assist members of the community to make a plan
for their families for Bushfire Season.
These Facilitators are supported by The Department of Fire and
Emergency Services and The S J Shire.
A Bushfire Ready Group is formed by residents of an area
who, with assistance from the Facilitators, make a plan for the
Bushfire Season. This could be as simple as maintaining and
sharing a contact list with each other or having meetings to form
strategies to deal with Bushfires.
If you would like to know more and speak to one of the team,
contact details for Meg Cooper the Facilitator Coordinator, are
noted below.
