be interested in attending a LIVE VIRTUAL Class in the
comfort of your own home. My first class will be a Foam

dust off the cobwebs and let’s get this started! If you do not have a foam roller please let me know, as I
have a few spare which can be loaned out. We all need to keep up a level of movement and fitness,
whilst having some fun with new technology.
How does it work??
Download onto your phone or tablet from the App store ZOOM app. Its FREE for you. I will establish a
day and time for the classes, and if you have expressed interest I will send you an email link inviting you
to join the event. We go from there. Payments will be made by Direct Credit as per usual.

The Shire of Kondinin is working hard to keep our communities safe and protected as much as possible from the
spread of COVID-19 and as such would like to request that people only visit the Shire Offices when necessary.
Please make payments over the phone or internet where able and if unsure please phone the office to ask for
advice in the first instance.
· Rates payments can be made by card over the phone.
· Department of Transport; DoTDirect makes it easier to pay your licences and manage details online
www.transport.wa.gov.au/dotdirect. To register, you'll need: your current WA driver's licence details, email
address and either your vehicle details (plate number and VIN - you can find this on your last rego renewal).

listen to eBooks and audiobooks. Please contact the Customer Services for more information.
How the Kondinin Shire is responding to COVID-19:
Council’s focus during the COVID-19 situation is to maintain good service levels while protecting our community.
We will aim do this by:
· Maintaining essential services, such as waste collection to residents;
· Providing up-to-date information about any changes to services and/or operations at Council-owned
facilities;
· Supporting government, government departments, emergency services and agencies to help manage the
impact of the virus;

situation, we now have measures in place to protect both you and Shire staff – while ensuring the continued
provision of services.

noted that that in accordance with State and Federal Government guidelines, if you are visiting these public

The Shire has closed the Caravan Park to everyone except essential workers from the 27 th March 2020. Once
the large influx of interstate travellers have safely made it home the use of roadside rest areas and 24 hour

waste receptacles as recycling bin swapping is not currently advisable.

advice and to be proactive in promoting no unnecessary travel. The geographic isolation in rural areas like
ours is our only advantage considering the centralised nature of key Health Services.
