sustainable infrastructure and environmental management. The City of Mandurah has achieved gold Waterwise Council endorsement for the 10th consecutive year through Water Corporation's Waterwise Council Program, highlighting its long-term commitment to water conservation and sustainable environmental practices. Mayor Amber Kearns said the milestone reflected years of thoughtful planning and practical action to protect the natural environment that makes Mandurah a unique place to live. She said the city's waterwise approach is embedded in the way public spaces are designed, built and maintained to ensure future generations can continue to enjoy local beaches, parks and waterways. Key initiatives supporting the city's continued recognition include smart water monitoring through an in-house meter data logger program, a centralised irrigation system to improve efficiency and detect leaks, and dual aquifer irrigation systems at major community facilities such as the Eastern Foreshore, Rushton Oval, Lakelands Oval and Bortolo Oval. Additional projects focusing on water-sensitive urban design, urban greening and improved water quality at Cox Bay Lake have further strengthened Mandurah's environmental leadership.
