Please do not trust the City of Wanneroo regarding bushfires.
Myself and 17 other families lost essentially everything in the bushfires of 2023.
The Western Australian Planning Commission and COW lie and fail at fire prevention maintenance and their duty of care.

🚧 ROAD CLOSURES AND CONDITIONS 🚧

Motorists are asked to avoid the area, reduce speed and drive carefully. Road information may also be available from Main Roads WA by visiting the Main Roads Travel Map, calling 138 138 or by contacting your Local Government Authority.
🚨 WHAT FIREFIGHTERS ARE DOING 🚨
