Together with Robyn, and on behalf of the City Council and staff, I wish our community a very happy and safe Christmas.
I recognise many in our community will find Christmas difficult to cope with, however, Bunbury's hallmark generosity, combined with the remarkable efforts of the Salvation Army and others, will make this Christmas more enjoyable.
The Christmas Parade and Carols by Candlelight attracts large crowds of families and friends to socialise and enjoy this special time of the year.
Some neighbourhoods keep that spirit alive right through Christmas and into the New Year by decorating their houses with lights, blow up figures and lanterns.
With assistance from the South Bunbury Rotary Club traffic management is put in place to arrange a one way vehicle traffic flow with pedestrians enjoying a safe part of the street.
Wherever you are and whatever arrangements you have in place simply enjoy this special time of the year and celebrate with the rest of our community.
