small projects

As a committee of dedicated volunteers we tackle a variety of projects that benefit the local community in some way, below are some of the small projects we have completed.

wandi community library opens august 2021

The Wandi Progress Association with assistance from the City of Kwinana have installed a community library at the Wandi Community Centre.  Please feel free to take a book or leave a book in the library for others. If you are leaving books please make sure there is enough room in the library for your donation.

Dust extractor installed

Wood working areas in the Pavilion have been upgraded with dust extraction.  The new extractor was officially commissioned on 14 June 2019.  The cost of the extractor was funded jointly by the City of Kwinana, Lotterywest, the woodworker clubs and the Wandi Progress Association.  More information on the wood working clubs operating at the Wandi Pavilion please click on the links on this website. 

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.
