the City because of the trial, with more than 70 per cent of people surveyed saying they would not have gone to that location if the food trucks were not there. Patricia Wedgwood from Landsdale enjoyed the food trucks at Warradale Park. “It was awesome!” Patricia said. “And it was great to see the community out enjoying a picnic with family and friends. A variety of different trucks would only make it better.” For more information about the food truck trial, please visit wanneroo.wa.gov.au/foodtrucktrial EATS FOOD TRUCK TRIAL EXTENDED The City of Wanneroo Council recently voted to extend the City’s food truck trial following its successful launch earlier this year. The extension will see the trial expanded to all City wards and it will run from summer until June 2018. During this time, the food truck model will be refined to determine the most appropriate trading locations and times. The original trial found that 98.5 per cent of residents supported food truck trading within the City and nearly 80 per cent were keen to see vendors trade all year round. The trial also showed that residents were exploring different places within HUB GIRRAWHEEN HUB WELCOMES YOU The Girrawheen Hub is a new and exciting initiative of the City, seeking to support connections and opportunities by providing job readiness, small business and social support.

CONNECT WANNEROO PAVES THE WAY FOR THE FUTURE FUTURE Connect Wanneroo is the City of Wanneroo’s advocacy program developed in partnership with our community. Leading up to the WA election in March this year, a special community campaign called Connect Wanneroo: Get on Board was launched, requesting two key items from the incoming government: • Extension of the rail line from Butler to Yanchep; and • Further extension of the Mitchell Freeway from Hester Avenue to Romeo Road in Alkimos. The state government has allocated funds for the rail extension to Yanchep under its Metronet program by 2021/2022. “This is a plan that will revolutionise travel in Perth while creating countless jobs and apprenticeship opportunities for Western Australians,” Premier McGowan said. In addition to Yanchep, the $600 million project will see stations built at Alkimos and Eglinton. Each station will be an accessible and vibrant community asset. Meanwhile, the City is continuing its advocacy agenda with Council agreeing to focus on five key areas: • Roads - In particular the Mitchell Freeway extension to Romeo Road • Rail - Keeping a watching brief on the Yanchep Metronet extension • Region - A strong focus on meeting the local jobs for local people challenge • Reserves - Finalising the Butler District Open space • Freight - Covering all areas of land, sea and air freight for the future. Mayor Tracey Roberts said community support and feedback is an integral part of the Connect Wanneroo campaign. “I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the Connect Wanneroo: Get on Board campaign and to the state government for listening,” Mayor Roberts said. “Now that we are moving on to the second stage of the campaign, I ask that our residents and business community continue to ensure their voices are heard, and that the state and federal governments provide funding for the transport infrastructure our growing City needs.” The City of Wanneroo would like to hear from people who are benefiting from the recent freeway extension to Hester Avenue, and those people who are eagerly awaiting the finalisation of the Butler District Open Space.
