    We’ve refreshed the ACROD parking bays at the Serpentine Jarrahdale Community Recreation Centre (YMCA).

    Our Civil Maintenance Team recently carried out the line-marking for the bays, which has been a focus of the Shire’s Access and Inclusion Advisory Group to improve accessibility to all businesses and venues throughout the region.

    The Shire is also a partner of the This Bay Is Someone’s Day campaign, which aims to reduce the misuse of ACROD parking bays.

    Visit This Bay Is Someone’s Day to learn more about the campaign.
