The Shire of Dowerin had the privilege of hosting the WALGA Great Eastern Country Zone Meeting, welcoming CEOs, Shire Presidents, Councillors, State Government representatives from Mainroads, Watercorp, Wheatbelt Development Commission, agency representatives and key stakeholders from across the region.

It was a fantastic opportunity to come together, share ideas, discuss regional priorities and strengthen the partnerships that help our communities thrive.

Our Shire President and CEO also had the opportunity to present, highlighting Dowerin's achievements, priorities and opportunities for the future.

A big thank you to the WALGA team, Great Eastern Country Zone Council, Shire of Dowerin staff and Dowerin Community Club for their contributions towards making the event a success.
Regional collaboration is incredibly important, and gatherings like these remind us of what we can achieve when we work together.

Harvest Road Safety Reminder

As harvest activity ramps up across the district, we ask all road users to be mindful of increased truck and machinery movements, as well as scheduled roadworks.

Choose the sealed routes where practical, drive to conditions, and allow extra time for your journey. Your patience and cooperation help support our farming community and protect the Shire's road network throughout harvest.

NATIONAL SURVIVORS DAY

Today, we recognise and honour the strength, courage and resilience of survivors.

National Survivors Day is an opportunity to acknowledge those who have faced challenges, overcome adversity and continue their journey with strength and determination.

We also recognise that every survivor's journey is different. Some battles are visible, while others are fought quietly behind closed doors.

Today, we celebrate the courage of survivors, remember those who are no longer with us, and stand alongside those who are still finding their way forward.

To every survivor, your story matters, your strength is inspiring, and you are never alone.

Let's continue to show compassion, raise awareness and create a community where everyone feels supported, valued and heard.
