Announcements

Neil Hancock mentioned that at a recent meeting of West Perth Local they were informed that the new Hancock Building on Ord Street will have a further 600 staff transferring from the City which will be a great injection of life in the area. Neil also mentioned that the City of Perth was changing the height limits in West Perth to allow 30 storey buildings to add more residential to the area with the view to tripling the population.

As a joint fundraising and new member drive he also mentioned that perhaps an old fashioned Lamington Drive would assist in getting our foot in the doors of businesses with the hope of attracting new members to our Club.
