Bridgetown Water Crisis Prompts 200 Million Gallon Dam Plan
In Bridgetown the 28 million gallon reservoir suffers poor catchment runoff and summer restrictions. A proposed earth dam could hold 200 million gallons but requires costly high lift pumping and 12 miles of piping. Officials cite lack of cooperation and high costs, while exploring Marrinup and Millstream options amid staff shortages.

South West District Council eyes Zone Councils to aid travel
A new unit for Baling up items is discussed by the South-West District Council of Parents in South Bunbury. Delegates travel from Pinjatra to Pemberton, prompting a proposal to form Zone Councils within the division. The unit will supplement the existing plant to handle extra load from two new fruit packing sheds in Balingup. The equipment hired from the State Electricity Commission should be in place by month’s end and used until the South-West Power Scheme reaches Balingup in about three years.
