Mandurah Mayor just getting warmed up

The Mayor said she is currently working on delivering a few projects that won't come into fruition until next year including the Police and Emergency Services Games.

"I sit on the Advisory Board for the event which will be held in Mandurah in 2018 and will attract thousands of people to the Peel region.

"I am also working on attracting a level three surf competition and the world's best surfers to Avalon Beach while a safer. 

Making the Smart Street Mall a safer and more friendly place to visit is also ongoing.
