COUNCIL to the COMMUNITY June 2009

RABBITS!

 “Wild pest rabbits are on the increase across Australia and are the major pest for agriculture…, RabbitScan is a nation-wide challenge for community and schools to help scientists map where rabbits are located.” Gingin is also overly populated with rabbits so if you see a rabbit SMS RabbitScan 0421690892

FUTURE HEALTH SERVICES FOR SHIRE

An independent Consultant, Marguerite Tohl, Director, MMT Consultancy Services, has been engaged by the Wheatbelt Health MOU Group to work with the Wheatbelt community, in order to gather information about community health needs and to set priorities and local solutions for the future development of health services.

This is a partnership between the Wheatbelt Development Commission, Wheatbelt Local Government Authorities, WA Country Health Service – Wheatbelt Region and the Wheatbelt General Practice Network, collectively known as Wheatbelt Health MOU Group.

During June 2009, Marguerite will visit Gingin to hear from the community, health service providers and other important stakeholders about what they consider to be the priority health needs of their community and what they believe their health services should look like in the future. The information gathered will then be used to inform future health planning.

Community consultations will be held at the Granville Civic Centre, Weld St. Gingin on:

Wednesday 17 June 2009 10.30am – 12pm
Wednesday 17 June 2009 7pm – 8.30pm

It is imperative that you have a say in planning for future health services in our Shire for the continued wellbeing of our community and future generations. Requirements that have been identified in our Shire include:

Aged Care and Well Aged Care Facilities.

• Community Health Centres and associated allied health services.
• Additional Doctors and Nurse Practitioners.

A Booklet with information about your community and the current health issues facing rural communities is available, prior to the consultations, from the Gingin and Lancelin Shire Office or online at
