We believe that by recognising the abilities and unique contributions of all members of our community, we will grow, develop and continue to be a vibrant place to live, work and visit. Seniors Advisory Committee (SAC) The SAC is made up of community members who work with Shire officers to provide information to the Shire about all matters related to seniors. For example, the committee identifies matters of interest, information, resources, and issues or concerns relating to seniors and provides that information through the Community Development Advisor. This work provides the Shire a valuable resource of local knowledge and community interests. So, contact us - we value your contribution. Better still, you may like to attend our next regular SAC meeting, which is open to the press and public. For meeting times and feedback contact: Lyndsey Stoney Community Development Advisor T: (08) 9290 6666 Email: shire@mundaring.wa.gov.au Seniors Week Events (Annually) Seniors Week is held in the last week of October each year.
