“Our City has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a Shire built to support local industry, and Kwinana’s long-term residents have been here to witness this transformation.

“We might be the second-fastest growing local government area in WA, but our rich community spirit and tight-knit feel remains.”

As part of the registration, residents would need to provide their best memory of Kwinana.

Registration forms can be found at http://www.kwinana.wa.gov.au.
