As we have no control of the exact time it will commence, or how long it will last, please keep in mind that the Shire Office will run as usual while the power is on. When the power goes out this will limit our services:

* No Australia Post services (ie banking, paying of bills) - packages will still be able to be scanned unless the scanners run out of charge (including Star Track)

* Payment of Shire accounts, new dog registrations, new stand pipe cards etc will not be available

* No telephones will be working

* Emails may not be received

You can keep track of any outages, and register for SMS updates by going to the Western Power website:

If your power is ever out for 12 hours or more you can lodge a claim with Western Power for a $120 reimbursement:
