2010 was the dryest year Perth has ever recorded. An increasingly drying trend is predicted for the southwest of Western Australia as part of the impacts of climate changes from global warming.

Think Water Campaign

The Town of Cottesloe ran a community education program over 4 years called "Think Water" to raise awareness about conserving our precious water supply and reduce use of nutrients and pesticides to maintain water quality. Think Water encourages residents to reduce scheme and private groundwater use, decrease the number of new private bores and reduce pollutants entering groundwater. Below are links to the wide range of material produced for this campaign for you to download. If you would like original hardcopies then contact the Town's Sustainability Officer on 9285 5000 to see if we still have some in stock.
