PRESIDENT
Ken Workman
We moved to Wandi in 2005 and have thoroughly enjoyed our time here and found it to be a great place to live. You quickly realise the importance of community interaction and getting to know your neighbours which was one of the reasons I joined the WPA. I encourage not only all existing residents but anyone new to the area to access our website or if able come along to one of our monthly committee meetings. They give you the opportunity to meet a number of local residents and discuss issues relevant to our area.
Over the years I have been involved in a number of community based groups but have found being part of the WPA as one of the most enjoyable and continues to be very rewarding.Through the committee I have met some very passionate community minded people . I strongly believe that it doesn’t matter whether you can only contribute in a small way then you will see the benefits of all of those efforts collectively that have assisted in the development of the great facilities we now have available for all residents to enjoy.
The community centre has so many clubs and groups that are based here to support your passion or interest or you may wish to look at creating a new group . I believe it is a unique centre in the Metro area and develops great community spirit.

I have lived in the area for over 25 years, seeing many changes to our rural lifestyle. The coming of the freeway, the Mandurah line and now the encroachment of suburbia. We go on to face new challenges with the arrival of Honeywood. I myself am actively involved in many of our local groups and clubs. Including that of the Wandi Landcare, Marquetry Club and the Wandi Wood Turners. Les accepted Life Membership of the WPA in October 2018

I along with my wife and three sons moved to Anketell in 2001. For my wife it was a homecoming as she was raised in the district. We joined the Wandi Progress Association soon after our arrival in Anketell. Until recently our involvement with the WPA has been limited to participation in Clean Up Australia days, Landcare plantings and social activities organised by the WPA due to other commitments. From April 2018 I have been blessed with more spare time and have decided to join the WPA committee to provide input and assist with the management of facilities that benefit our corner of the City of Kwinana.

I have lived in Wandi since 2008 and joined the Wandi Progress Association in 2013. I grew up living in the country and just love living in Wandi as I can have the best of both worlds, living in the bush and only having the city not far away. Since joining the WPA I have been involved in things such as coordinating “Clean Up Australia”, planting trees and just recently helping to organise Neighbour Day. I love the relaxing lifestyle and the community spirit that exists in Wandi. It is always a pleasure to come home.

I am a fourth generation member of the local community. I grew up on the family farm in Mandogalup and moved to Wandi in 2018. I have been an active member of the Mandogalup Bush Fire Brigade since 2008. I have participated in a number of WPA events over recent years. I was encouraged by my fiancée (the treasurer) to stand for the committee in 2019 to play a more active role in the community.

We moved out to Wandi in 2008 to get away from suburban high density living. Best move we ever made. I am a real city-slicker, not used to a rural lifestyle, but I am learning all the time and enjoying it 100%. I have a keen interest in woodworking and have become a member of the local Triton club. I'm also a Volunteer FireFighter with the Mandogalup Bushfire Brigade. In the last two years I have seen a lot of bushland devestation from fires. However, as a Landcare member I've seen the beauty of the bushland and have had opportunities to attend events,plantings and workshops which helps me take care of some bushland and help with its rejuvenation. Oh, and I also work full time as a database administrator for the Education Department.
