17 Jun 2024	Australia Day 2025 Event Cancellation due to Metronet Works The City of Armadale Council has reluctantly made the tough decision to cancel its Australia Day 2025 event and fireworks, due to the impact of the Metronet Byford Rail Extension works. The City has been notified by Metronet’s contractor (Metconnx) that the extent of work planned for January 2025 requires public exclusion from many areas which would prevent a large public gathering in and around Minnawarra Park and Armadale Road. These works mean the City’s usual Australia Day event location at Minnawarra Park is not able to be used.
5 Jun 2024	AFAC awarded Gold Waterwise Aquatic Centre The Armadale Fitness and Aquatic Centre (AFAC) was recently awarded and recognised as a Gold Waterwise Aquatic Centre.
