City of Jonndalup’s Community Citizen of the Year Award

This is a great honour for our Association which was formed
in 1992 and has been built over the years on the success of
its volunteers. This recognition by the City of Joondalup
shows our close working relationship with them as the award
was not the decision of the Mayor or Councillors but by staff
of all ranks. Independent projects such as the fence painting
and the Connolly suburb entry statement signs are just a few
examples of improvements to our suburb wholly funded by
the Connolly Residents’ Association.

Our success is also due to many of our residents getting involved
with our projects, both new and on-going, such as the
Carnaby Reserve team, the many volunteers that contribute
and deliver the LINKS newsletter to everyone in the suburb
and our recent successful COMMUNITY FETE plus we
have over 280 financial members which makes us the largest
voluntary residents Association in the City of Joondalup.

I accept this award on behalf of you all and want you to
know how proud I am to be a resident of Connolly for the
30 years my wife and I have lived here.

Carnaby Reserve – Jan 2019

As spring draws to an end so does the spectacular spring display of blooms in the Reserve. However the odd splashes of colour can still been seen. It is lovely to see the signs of so much healthy new growth and the many new seedlings, emerging as the cycle continues.

The plentiful rains have assisted and ensured that plantings earlier this year in the Northern or Shenton Road end of the Reserve have been most successful showing much new growth. Our thanks to our wonderful volunteers who have relentlessly weeded over the last seven months to allow these seedlings and other areas within the Reserve to thrive.

Jarrah trees are once again commencing their bi-annual masses of blooms, much to the delight of the many bees that these flowers attract.

The Zamia palms are obviously enjoying this year’s conditions by producing these wonderful fruit filled flowers which remind me of pineapples.

Should you have any queries or
concerns regarding the Reserve or if
you would like to assist with our
bush care duties, please contact us
