City of Wanneroo

One year on since the devastating Mariginiup bushfire, the City of Wanneoro thanks the efforts of all those involved in both the incident and the immense recovery process. With 18 homes lost, 15 commercial properties and dozens of properties suffering damage, the fire took its toll on the community and set up a long recovery process. The City thanks all staff, residents, businesses, emergency services personnel, volunteers, State Government departments and support services involved. We are proud of the way our community came together to support one another, in both dealing with the devastating impacts of the fire and banding together to navigate a complex recovery. The City will continue to support the community as we work through this. Across the impacted sites you can see regrowth and renewal, symbols of the resilience of the City of Wanneroo community.

New drowning prevention technology is set to help accelerate lifeguard response times at Wanneroo Aquamotion. The Lynxight system uses artificial intelligence to monitor movement in the water through CCTV cameras, enabling lifeguards to respond more quickly to potential drownings thanks to alerts sent to their smartwatches. Aquamotion will be the second facility in WA to use the cutting-edge technology to combat blind spots caused by water glare, crowds, water surface disturbance and line of sight issues. The City of Wanneroo is excited to take another step forward in our Smart City journey and harness this technology to enhance safety for our community. Find out more: https://ow.ly/BkXc50U00Mj
