The Shire is pleased to share that it has secured State Government funding to support CCTV upgrades at the Apple Fun Park in Donnybrook.

This funding is provided through the Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Election Commitment Grant Program, with successful applicants announced by the Minister for Local Government, Hon. Hannah Beazley, on 10 June 2026.

More than 300 applications were submitted by 70 local governments across Western Australia, including the Shire of Donnybrook Balingup. As one of 35 successful applicants, the Shire has been awarded approximately $10,500 to support CCTV upgrades at the Apple Fun Park in Donnybrook.

The Minister also acknowledged the Shire’s ongoing dedication and commitment to public safety, recognising its proactive approach to maintaining and improving community infrastructure.

Shire President Vivienne MacCarthy welcomed the announcement, highlighting its importance in supporting a safe and family-friendly environment.

“The Apple Fun Park is one of the community’s most popular public spaces, and is a special place for local families and visitors to the Shire. This funding supports the wellbeing of our community, and will help further strengthen existing safety measures that ensure the area remains safe and enjoyable for everyone,” President MacCarthy said. “Council remains committed to delivering practical initiatives that contribute to community safety across the Shire.”

As part of ongoing service delivery, the Shire will continue to maintain and improve its existing CCTV network to support safe, welcoming public spaces.
