The spacious former residence has been leased to the catchment council by the City of Mandurah while Lotterywest provided a grant to renovate and fit out the building, providing staff with a quality work environment.

Canning MRH Don Randall reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to the group being recognised in the region and special mention was made of the hard work of the group’s founding chairman Jan Star.
