Mayor's message
Welcome to the final edition of our E-newsletter for 2017. On behalf of the Council I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. 2017 has been a very busy year for the Town again, with progress made on the renovations at the Town Hall; work on the river foreshore making excellent progress; we have updated our Strategic Community Plan and adopted our first Public Art Strategy. I look forward to providing you with more information about what is happening in and at the Town in 2018. In the meantime, please find information below about changes to your rubbish and recycling pick up over the Christmas/New Year period.

Town Celebrates East Fremantle Pioneers
The Town celebrated the contribution made by our Pioneers at a luncheon held at Swan Yacht Club earlier this month. Over 140 local pioneers (that is, residents aged over 60 who have lived in the Town for more than 30 years) enjoyed a delicious Christmas Lunch, dancing and catching up with old friends. Mrs Pat Newton was celebrated this year as the 'Guest of Honour' and assisted the Mayor Jim O'Neill with cutting the Christmas cake. Pat and her husband John have lived in the Town since the early 1960's with John building their home in Alexandra Road in which they raised their two sons.
