It’s our favourite time of the week – a chance to reflect on the changes in our region, the faces and the fun that was being had during August 2007.
There was a lot going on around in Collie in August 2007.
The Dutton Rally was held at the Collie Motorplex with Collie being the first stop for the national rally in WA.
Building licence delays of up to eight weeks were being experienced in the month of August by Collie builders as a result of increased activity in the building sector. Applications to the Shire of Collie for building permits doubled over the course of a few weeks throughout the month.
Local weight lifter Matt Van Beuningen became Australia’s strongest overall Junior Men’s Lifter and Australian Record Overall Junior Men’s Champion at the annual championships in Melbourne.
Also safety was at the forefront of the month with houses in the Collie community displaying a yellow triangle which aimed to keep children safe.
Take a look at our gallery and see if you can spot any familiar faces that were featured in the Collie Mail in August 2007.
