JANET CARR  Awarded for being a highly motivated committee and community member, co-ordinating events and managing the administration of the WPA including archiving 25 years of paperwork.
Picture
DEBBIE COCKS  Awarded for being a passionate community and committee member who goes beyond the normal expectations by being available to assist with community centre requirements to ensure users have access to all the facilities.  In addition was heavily involved in the organisation of the Wandi Fair over 10 years.
Picture
ROD COCKS  Received the most number of nominations, he has been on the committee for all 25 years and was awarded Life Membership in 2010.  He has been involved in every aspect of community centre work and, in particular, he has taken on the role of coordinator and negotiator on behalf of the WPA with the Kwinana Council on many issues.
 FRED ERDTSIECK   Fred was always willing to help and increased the profile of the Wandi Landcare group.  He successfully applied for many grants to assist in removing weed infestation and protect rare and endangered orchids.  He brought the WPA into the electronic age and was our inaugural webmaster.
BRUCE HEATHER  Awarded for his work in the very early days of the WPA.  He was the project coordinator for the Magenup Equestrian Centre.  He was also involved in fighting the inequitable rating system at that time.
Picture
PETER HEGARTY  Joined the WPA just prior to the relocation of the Hope Valley Primary School to this site and spent many hours working on the building renovation, in particular painting and the electronic security.  On behalf of local residents, he successfully fought the proposed installation of a large Western Power substation on the corner of De Haer/Rowley Roads.  
Picture
JOHN LYDON  John’s skill as an electrician has been much appreciated and saved the WPA (and Council) many thousands of dollars.  He installed permanent power on the oval for the Wandi Fair, laid the subsurface conduits for the tennis court and managed the Resource Centre and The Shed electrical installations. 
Picture
LES WHIDDETT   Les is also a very long serving member of the WPA.  He has been involved in all the projects on the site and, as a plumber, his skill and knowledge has been invaluable.  He is a great community person and is also involved as a volunteer with Dept of Environment and Conservation (now Dept of Parks & Wildlife) and the Bendigo Bank.
