6 Community Noticeboard FAC Skate and BMX Facility Strategy Update The City continues to develop the City-wide Skate and BMX Facility Strategy, which is reviewing existing and potential skate and BMX facilities across the City. It is anticipated that Council will review the strategy in late 2013. The strategy included a review of the City’s existing skate parks by an external consultant and it was determined that Balga Skatepark exposed users to a high level of risk. While skate park elements in Balga have been removed, the City has engaged a not-for-profit group as an interim measure to provide youth programs and mobile skate ramps at Princess Wallington Reserve. Please contact the City on 9205 8555 for more details about the youth programs or email your contact details to stirling@stirling.wa.gov.au to take part in future community consultation. SKATE & BMX I L I T Y S T R A T E G Y Keep Your Water Meter Clear If your water meter cannot see the light of day, the Water Corporation is calling on you to add clearing around your meter to your ‘to-do’ list. With the authority announcing it will be issuing bills every two months from July, it is important that staff have easy access to meters. Reading meters each two months will help customers track their water use and identify leaks earlier. Life Now Exercise Program The Cancer Council WA is offering a free 12-week Life Now Exercise Program to people living with cancer and their carers. Being held twice weekly at Leisurepark Balga from mid June, the program aims to increase strength, improve fitness and reduce fatigue. Contact the Cancer Council Helpline on 13 11 20 for more details about the program. Youth Workshops The City of Stirling is hosting a series of free Make a Stand youth workshops in June and July. The workshops include urban dance sessions in Mirrabooka and Scarborough. Spaces at the workshops are limited, so contact the City on 9205 8555 to book your place.

The state government has introduced new legislation to help reduce the number of stray cats and to encourage responsible cat ownership. Under the Cat Act 2011, owners must ensure that they micro-chip, register and sterilise (unless being used for breeding purposes by an approved breeder) all cats older than six months by 1 November 2013. Learn to Swim Stirling Leisure Centres Inglewood and Balga will open Learn to Swim enrolments from mid-July. The centres have heated pools, ample parking and retail on-site. Phone 9205 8555 or visit www.stirling.wa.gov.au/recreation for more details. Details on how residents can register their cats with the City of Stirling will be made available soon. Given these imminent changes, the City is encouraging all cat owners to arrange for their pets to be sterilised and micro-chipped as early as possible. Tel: 9205 8555 | Follow us on Twitter

The hall opened in 1912 with rousing celebrations including a grand ball and lunch for more than 300 local children. The building took less than three months to complete at a cost of £6000, which was largely funded by local residents. Over the years, the hall hosted a variety of community activities including dances and concerts. In 1929, a projection room was added to cater for movie screenings. The original hall on Main Street was demolished in 1962 and has since been rebuilt several times on the same site.
