For the past two years, the Shire of Ashburton and the Chevron-operated Wheatstone Project have joined forces to promote initiatives and events that encourage participation and create a sense of involvement among the Onslow community. Since its inception, the ‘Working Together for Onslow’ (WTO) partnership has been a huge success, and is set to continue.
Working Together for Onslow supports key community programs and events such as Onslow Living, Anzac Day commemorations, Onslow’s over 55’s group - the Onslow Keeper’s, School Holiday activities and specialist training and development initiatives.
Shire President Kerry White said the Shire is pleased to continue the partnership with the Wheatstone Project, delivering important social initiatives to the community.
“Through the WTO partnership we are bringing people together through recreation, entertainment and learning,” said Cr White.
“These programs are vital in enhancing our sense of place and in fostering positive community engagement.”
Chevron Australia Community Engagement Supervisor Erin Glancy said the success of the WTO partnership is in its diversity of programs and events that cater for all ages and community groups.
“One of our most successful programs is the Onslow Keepers, a group of over 55’s who get together for morning teas and activities, to socialise and share experiences,” Erin said.
“The Onslow Living events are another great initiative where new residents can learn about all the activities Onslow has to offer, and get involved in volunteer opportunities.”
Planning is underway for an exciting program of events including the July School Holiday Program and the much-anticipated Onslow Annual Gala.
