Mayor's message

March Update
Dear residents,
Thank you to everyone who attended the A Night on Bay View community concert. It was a great turnout and a fantastic evening as always, with the beautiful sounds of the West Australian Symphony Orchestra and soprano Elena Perroni delighting us all.
Thank you also for supporting our ‘Greening Claremont’ initiative by using reusable containers and dedicated waste stations on the night. Over the past year we have significantly reduced the amount of landfill generated at Town events and we will continue this moving forward.
Walt Drabble Lane Mural
A new addition to the Town’s public art collection can be seen in Walt Drabble Lane, where artists Lawry and Darren have painted a 54 metre long mural titled The Fabric of Time.
The mural draws on the world of fashion by depicting a variety of elements of design seen in fabrics over time. The finished piece is a dynamic artwork that provides an injection of colour and vitality to the lane.
View the Town's public art trail here.
