Picture this: the community reaches out to the Council with big ideas and questions, only to get a friendly point towards the Developers. But when they knock on the Developers' door, guess what? They're sent right back to the Council's doorstep! With a handful of developers making waves in Dawesville, it's turning into quite the time-consuming dance. This little runaround isn't dampening their enthusiasm. Instead, it's fuelling members of the community call to action, encouraging residents to come together, and dive into finding solutions that make Dawesville an even better place to call home. It's all about turning challenges into opportunities for collaboration and stronger community bonds.

Amidst the beauty and camaraderie that define Dawesville, issues such as inadequate walkways, insufficient traffic calming measures, faulty amenities, and the uninvited clutter left by fly-tippers have become all too common. This has led to a realization—a longing for the recognition and support from their council, which seems long overdue.

The recent building boom has brought with it a whirlwind of challenges that have the locals buzzing with a mix of concern and determination. As construction sites dot the landscape, the strong winds characteristic of the area have turned mischievous, playfully tossing around lunch wrappers, drink bottles, and plastic wrappings, while also decorating the area with an unexpected layer of sand. Homes, cars, and even swimming pools have received an impromptu sandy makeover, leaving streets looking more like sandy trails and nature reserves a little worse for wear.

The people of Dawesville have always been hands-on, taking matters into their own hands to ensure their community remains a safe, welcoming place for everyone. From individual efforts to collective action, the residents have shown time and again that they are not afraid to roll up their sleeves for the betterment of their home. However, with the construction of a new retirement home highlighting the urgent need for safer, more accessible infrastructure, the call for a more concerted effort has never been louder.

The Dawesville community has been buzzing with chatter about Mandurah Council's presumed preference to connections with Mandurah's northern neighbours towards Perth. This move has stirred up quite the conversation among locals, with some folks expressing concerns about what this means for their beloved Dawesville.

This moment in time poses a critical question: Will Dawesville continue to navigate these challenges independently, or will the council acknowledge the suburb's worth and invest in its potential? Dawesville is not just any suburb of Mandurah; it's a hub of community spirit, where every resident plays a part in weaving the fabric of local pride and togetherness. The current challenges provide an opportunity for residents of Dawesville to come together and shape a future that reflects the community's values & aspirations.

As Dawesville stands at this crossroads, the message is clear: Together, the community can create a brighter, more inclusive future. A future where safe, clean, and accessible spaces are not just a vision, but a reality. A future where Dawesville continues to flourish, fuelled by the passion and commitment of its residents. The time for action is now, and people in Dawesville are ready.
