LAndcare Wandi Lake Magenup 2020
The Wandi Landcare group with assistance from the City of Kwinana conducted the annual tree planting at Lake Magenup on Sunday 2nd of August. There were 30 volunteers including members of the Kwinana Scout Group and Gilmore College who conducted the plantings.We planted almost 800 native seedlings, including species such as Eucalyptus rudis (flooded gums), Melaleuca rhaphiophylla (Paperbarks), Juncus pallidus (sedges), and a variety of other native species to wetland areas including Hypocallyma angustifolium, Astatea fasicularis, Centella asiatica, Melalueca teretifolia and Melalueca laterita. There area is an important ecological linkage between the Jandakot Regional Park to the east and other semi-rural residents and other reserves to the west. There are many bird species present as well as Western Grey Kangaroos, and Southern Brown Bandicoots. The planting program is part of an ongoing project to establish a corridor of vegetation between these areas to improve habitat for our native species.

WPA Committee Member Runner up COK Volunteer of the Year 2019
Debbie Cocks was named runner up at the City of Kwinana volunteer of the year awards held on 29th of November.
Debbie has been a member of the Wandi Progress Association for almost 30 years and a committee member for almost as long. Debbie was heavily involved in the organisation of the popular Wandi Fair which ran for 15 years. The Fair assisted in raising funds towards the construction of the Wandi Hall. When the hall was constructed Debbie became the booking contact. As the facilities at the Wandi Community Centre expanded Debbie became responsible for bookings for those facilities as well. It is a role that Debbie still preforms today.
At our 25th anniversary celebrations in 2012, Debbie received a certificate of appreciation for her many years of hard work for the WPA and community.
Debbie’s input over the past 28 years has been considerable and she can look back and feel suitably proud of what she has achieved with the overall development of Wandi Progress Association and the Wandi Community Centre.

donated play equipment installed
Thanks to a team of WPA volunteers the donated Satterley play equipment was installed Friday 7th October. The week began with the contractor removing all the grass, soil and laying reconstituted limestone blocks around the edge to retail the sand and keep grass out. Once the equipment was in the contractor placed the remaining washed sand and reinstalled the fence and it was done. Thanks to the installation team Les, Wayne, Rod, Ken and Chris (not pictured); thanks to Debbie and Marilyn for the morning, afternoon tea & lunch. A big thankyou to Bendigo Bank Kwinana who helped out with the funds for earth works, we couldn't have done it without this combined effort.
WPA KWINANA BENDIGO BANK GRANT SUCCESS
18th JUNE 2016
Kwinana Bendigo Bank has celebrated it's first birthday by offering local organisations the chance of gaining a donation of $500. Applicants had to identify a community based project they are involved in and if chosen they could be the recipient of one of the grants. This was very timely for the WPA as we were in the process of installing a newly donated play area by the Satterley Group on the Wandi site. Our success in gaining this grant has kicked off the construction of the project with the funds going towards water washed play sand and retaining walls.
Thanks also to the Satterley Group for the donation of junior play equipment to the value of $25,000. The play equipment was previously installed at their sales office in Wandi on the Honeywood Estate. The play combination will be a great asset for the Wandi Playgroup and families who come to enjoy the local facilities.
