The Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale welcomed the WA State Government to our community on Monday morning as part of the Community Cabinet visit.

Shire President Rob Coales greeted Premier Roger Cook and his team upon their arrival in Mundijong, where important discussions took place with State ministers. 

Community Cabinet offers regional communities the chance to directly engage with the Premier and ministers, bringing local issues to the forefront. With the State election on the horizon, this was a prime opportunity for the Shire to advocate for its top projects and priorities. 

A highlight of the visit was the signing of an $18.5 million State Government funding agreement for the Keirnan Park Recreation Precinct by Minister for Sport and Recreation David Templeman.

This funding will advance the development of a multi-use sports pavilion, car park, entry road, and ovals at the expansive 63-hectare site, adding to the $3.5 million already secured for planning and design. 

The Shire continues to push for an additional $40.4 million to enhance the precinct further, with plans for 15 new netball courts and change rooms, as well as $12.5 million for a new BMX track.

These developments are key components of our Advocacy 2025 campaign, aiming to secure the future of sport and recreation in our growing community. 

Keirnan Park is just one of six major projects in our election priorities. To learn more about these initiatives, visit our Advocacy 2025 page on the Shire's website Advocacy 2025 » Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale (sjshire.wa.gov.au)
