March Update
Dear residents,
Over two nights this April, the Claremont Town Centre will once again light-up with a range of immersive and interactive luminous activities.
Luminous Street Festival always has a great atmosphere and I'm looking forward to seeing a crowd of varying ages enjoying everything there is to offer.
Local eateries will remain open during the night with many offering festival specials and instore activations.
As Bay View Terrace and surrounding streets will be closed to cars for the event, taking public transport, walking or cycling to this event is recommended.
Visit our website here for more information.
Anzac Day
The Town will be holding its annual Anzac Day ceremony in Claremont Park on Friday 25 April.
The service will begin at 7:30am and include traditional proceedings such as The Last Post, wreath laying and speeches.
I take great pride in being involved in the ceremony and I look forward to paying my respects alongside the Claremont community.
More information can be found here.
Claremont Aquatic Centre upgrades
With the cooler months ahead, works are being undertaken to not only improve the facility but also increase the centre's safety and sustainability.
Work includes renewing the bore, installing new lush grass, a chemical system changeover to a salt chlorinator and change room refurbishments.

Have your say - Freshwater Bay Bushland
The Town has been working with the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions Riverbank Program and the Shire of Peppermint Grove to implement enhancement and restoration projects for the Freshwater Bay Bushland as part of a five-year plan.
We're calling on the community to have their say which you can do here.
Next Ordinary Council Meeting

Mayor Jock Barker
