Perth Zoo hosts Neighbourhood Watch WA end of year function Neighbourhood Watch WA celebrated their end of year with a Big Morning Tea event at the Perth Zoo. Neighbourhood Watch active volunteers and local government representatives were invited to attend the informal morning tea to network with other members of the WA Neighbourhood Watch family and share stories of their year.
Bernie Durkin, State Director of Neighbourhood Watch WA, kicked off the morning with a short speech announcing a number of new initiatives being undertaken by the WA State Office plus reinforcing our back to basics philosophy for our members to continue to use as a basis for their projects and events in their local communities.
People that registered their interest in attending by the due time were then invited to bring their families to the event. The morning was an informal event from 9.30am–11.30am with attendees encouraged to wear green.
“We are now more accountable in terms of the investment WA Police make to Neighbourhood Watch WA and are required to provide evidence of that investment,” Bernie announced.

“It is important that no matter how small an event, project or community program you are running, you let us know so we can capture that information and present it at the end of the financial year to demonstrate all the hard work you do in your communities…Thank you for your continued commitment to building safer, friendlier and connected communities. Keep up the good work!” Attendees were encouraged to mix and mingle with each other. After the event people then had free entry into the zoo to further enjoy the zoo facilities.
