Mr Urban was broadly supportive of the shire’s priorities.
“The Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale is one of the fastest growing local government areas in the state and we need public transport options to reduce growing congestion throughout the region,” he said.
“I will be advocating to WA Labor for a funding commitment for sporting and recreation facilities in Darling Range and am confident I can secure support for the community facilities our region needs.”
The forums will be held quarterly.
