Residents were rushing to sign the petition before it closed!

Today we finished our last stint down at the beach and boy, did we get a rush of people keen to sign the petition before it closed! It was so great to see!

Thankyou to our Many Mandurah Supporters and Volunteers

Many thanks to all our volunteers and supporters who went around with petition forms and especially to Pamela for all her help at the petition stand collecting signatures for so many days, Tom Esze for for talking to beach walkers and swimmers, Claire Foote for putting petition forms in her Claire Hair Organic Hair Salon, Heather from @waveheartcreative for our sticker design and beach sign artwork, Melissa G for helping get the word out there, people bringing their friends, and many, many others. 

Thank you to you all for your words of encouragement, waves, and toots. We really appreciated it!

In Case You Missed the News!

We got a mention in The West Australian, pg 8, 19th January 2023. The headline makes me smile because Pamela had a funny reply to some passerbys.  When we were asked what we were about, she would reply: “We’re holding back the sea!” 

We also had articles in the Mandurah Mail (pg 7, Thurs 12 Jan 2023) and The Coastal Times (pg 7, Wed 18 Jan 2023) and an article about the petition and coastal erosion at Doddis Beach was published on the Perth Now website.

It’s great to get the attention as the publicity draws awareness to our concerns about Doddis and, hopefully, will get some action and results 

It’s all about the WHY!

Check out the reasons for signing the petition and you will see why this petition to Protect Doddis Beach resonates with people. There are a wide variety of people concerned about the beach degradation and coastal erosion at Robert Point. Many live in our own Mandurah community, others are long time visitors to the area, having holidayed to our beaches as a child, or else visit here when seeing family and friends in Mandurah.
