City of Wanneroo Coastal Management Plan
Date
The City of Wanneroo are asking for submissions concerning the Coastal Management plan. One area of interest to many of our members is the provision of a Horse Beach. There is an online questionnaire that is easy to complete by going to http://www.wanneroo.wa.gov.au/Planning/Coastal_Management_Plan Please take the time to do this as the Horse Beach located in Joondalup Council is becoming less and less accessible and is very inadequate. Pass this link on to anyone you know who might be interested. Obviously, more people showing an interest in the Horse Beach will hopefully show Wanneroo Council that it is needed and wanted by many.

Dressage Championships Qualifications 2012

The State Dressage Champs scheduled for 11/12 August qualification rules have changed this year. Any riders competing must provide copies of 2 Dressage Tests showing a score of 55% (previously 52%) or more on the horse that you use at the Championships in the 12 months leading up to the Championships – this can include tests from the 2011 Dressage Championships.
