📢 New Community Digital Sign Coming to Mingenew! We’re excited to share that Mingenew will soon have a new Community Digital Sign, made possible through funding from the DFES Community Benefit Fund and the State Government’s Small Election Commitments Fund. Following consideration of several potential sites, Council has selected the eastern side of Cecil Newton Park as the location for the new sign. In choosing a location, Council considered visibility, access to power, pedestrian access, existing infrastructure and the overall suitability of each site. Other locations considered included: • North side of Midlands Road – unsuitable due to no readily available power supply. • Midlands Road outside the CRC & Post Office – insufficient space between the road and the building, with the sign also impacting the pedestrian pathway. • Midlands Road outside the MIG & Hancock offices – the existing tree and memorial bench would need to be relocated, with the tree also impacting visibility of the sign due to its height. The eastern side of Cecil Newton Park was determined to be the most suitable option, providing good visibility from Midlands Road and access to power. To accommodate the new sign and ensure it remains clearly visible, the existing Cecil Newton Park sign will be relocated and some trees will need to be removed. Once installed, the digital sign will give the Shire another important way to keep our community informed, displaying updates such as roadworks and closures, community information, events and important messaging during emergencies or crisis situations. We’re looking forward to seeing this project come to life and providing the community with a highly visible, central source of information. 👀 Watch this space for more updates as the project progresses!
