VIEW is coming to Mandurah June 2026

28 April 2026

The WA Development Team has been busily working behind the scenes to establish a new club in Mandurah, a coastal city south of Perth.

Mandurah VIEW Club will be inaugurated on 23 June 2026. There is still time to be an inaugural member! Contact Past Zone Councillor Mary at zonec.wa@gmail.com or 0427 335 158 to enquire.

A huge thank you to the incredibly hardworking Mary Deakin, whose energy and commitment have been instrumental in building momentum, supported by passionate members from surrounding clubs. To spread the word about VIEW, the team has distributed flyers and connected with Facebook community groups and the local newspaper, Have A Go.

Interest meetings have been very well attended, with numbers growing quickly and a date set in June for the club’s inaugural! A visit from Amber Kearns, Mayor of Rockingham, at one session was a highlight.

The team has also been pleased to strengthen their partnership with Smith Family team members who have been happy to get involved. Julie Walker, National Corporate Services and Relations Manager, attended one meeting to share a presentation about The Smith Family’s work and Learning for Life program. With such strong interest, enthusiasm and a real buzz in the community about VIEW, this is shaping up to be a wonderful new club.
