Rural Water Council of WA (Inc) Minutes of the Meeting held 16 October 2020 Page 5 [of 13] 6.3 Region Reports Presentation by delegates of region reports. Dandaragan (Lawrie Short) Given the impact of COVID-19 we must not remain complacent about the impact this is having: Dandaragan Townsite has felt the impact due to the failure of the town pump necessitating parts being ordered from Europe being delayed. Thankfully Water Corporation have risen to the occasion with carting in water to ensure the Town supply. Other impacts have been the crowds at Coastal Towns such as Greenhead fully booked out, necessitating rerouting to inland Towns such as Coorow, with Metrocentric people expressing the delight they experienced in the Golden Wheatbelt. Overall, the rainfall for the region has been scattered from drought (by definition long period below average) in Eastern Badgingarra, respectfully just below average for Dandaragan central to almost average at Regans Ford.

  • 2015 Local Government Ordinary Elections Report
    2015 Local Government Ordinary Elections Election Report April 2016 W ESTERN AUSTRALIAN Electoral Commission Foreword At the October 2015 local government ordinary elections, the Western Australian Electoral Commission was contracted to manage the largest number of postal elections it had ever conducted. In addition to six in person elections, the Commission was asked to run 82 postal elections under the Local Government Act 1995. With voting in local government elections being non-compulsory in Western Australia, postal elections typically result in a higher participation rate by eligible electors than in person ballots, as they offer most electors greater convenience and accessibility. Making the Electoral Commissioner responsible for these elections also enables local government CEOs and staff to remain at arms-length from potentially contentious aspects of the electoral process. Since they were first trialled in 1995, the number of local governments adopting postal elections has progressively increased. The local governments deciding to conduct a postal election in 2015 comprised some 1,433,575 electors, which is about 98% of the State’s total number of eligible electors. At the close of nominations, 964 candidates had nominated for 419 vacancies resulting in 75 separate postal elections. The highest participation rate for postal elections, both for country and metropolitan local governments in 2015 was the Shire of Mt Marshall with 82.7% and the City of Perth with 37.8%, with an overall Statewide participation rate of 27.5%. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of all returning officers and Commission staff in the planning and conduct of the 2015 ordinary elections and each of the local governments for the assistance and cooperation provided by their staff.
