“An event of this size is a major undertaking and we are very lucky to have such a great local government to work with.
“Our other big change this year is that the Street Festival will be the culmination of a bigger ‘Festival of Maylands’ – a 10-day celebration and showcase of Maylands’ distinctive and diverse community and business.”
Noranda Vibes were granted $10,000 towards its Noranda Christmas Concert which will be held on November 23.
Chairman Robert McCormack said the concert would feature the WA Fire and Emergency Services concert band and Noranda Primary School choir.

“There will be food trucks and information stalls hosted by local community and sporting groups, as well as some children’s activities.”
Morley Noranda Recreation Club were granted $12,000 towards its Noranda Community Fair which will be held on May 9, 2020.
