Motorists are reminded to follow all posted detour signage and exercise caution when traveling near active work zones to ensure the safety of construction crews and the public.

Health and Wellness Notifications

The Western Australian Department of Health has issued several advisories for the metropolitan area and regional travelers. As the city moves toward the cooler months, health officials have officially launched the 2026 Winter Strategy. Residents are strongly encouraged to prioritize early influenza vaccinations to reduce the burden on the public hospital system during the peak winter season.

Additionally, a mosquito-borne virus warning remains active for those planning travel to the Pilbara and Kimberley regions. Recent monitoring has identified an increased risk of virus transmission in these areas. Local residents and travelers are advised to use effective repellents, wear long, loose-fitting clothing, and ensure all accommodations are properly screened.

City Administration and Community Engagement

The City of Perth has published the agenda for the upcoming Ordinary Council Meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, 31 March 2026, at 5:00 PM at Council House. Public notices regarding the meeting items are currently available for review at the City’s administrative offices. Residents wishing to submit questions for the Council are reminded that submissions must be received 24 hours prior to the session.

In the City of South Perth, an Expression of Interest (EOI) period is currently open for commercial businesses and community organizations. The City is seeking partners to deliver temporary recreational activities and activations across the South Perth Foreshore and other local parks for the 2026/27 season. This initiative aims to enhance the vibrancy of the Swan River waterfront and support local tourism.

Public Service Reminders

FuelWatch has issued a reminder for Perth and Mandurah motorists to monitor local pricing following recent alerts regarding retail price fluctuations. While daily shifts occur, residents are encouraged to use official price-tracking tools to locate the most competitive rates in their suburbs. Furthermore, the City reminds all residents that current water conservation schedules remain in place, and individual irrigation days should be observed to ensure the sustainability of local groundwater resources.
