FREMANTLE PORTS’ NEWSLETTER 9 SEPTEMBER | 2019

Fremantle Ports is encouraging more truck drivers servicing Fremantle Inner Harbour to use an automated messaging system available for delivery to their cab.The messaging system is one initiative providing better coordination of heavy vehicles moving in and out of the North Quay-Rous Head precinct.

Charities Native ARC (Animal Rehabilitation Centre) and Perth Children's Hospital Foundation each received about $10,000 recently through an employee giving program.Staff also contributed a total of 194 hours of volunteering to benefit these charities and Guide Dogs WA, St Patrick's Community Support Centre and OzHarvest Cooking for a Cause, and they donated 50 Christmas hampers to St Pat's.

Fremantle Ports is proud to announce support for an historic daily ceremony, the 1pm Cannon Firing Ceremony at the Round House, WA's oldest existing public building. The new partnership was celebrated recently with Deputy Harbour Master Captain David Heppingstone firing the cannon.

Fremantle Ports is proud to announce it is supporting the creation of a large-scale artwork for the Sculpture at Bathers 2020 exhibition and the public can participate!

We invited 200 people to walk around Victoria Quay with us on two Sunday mornings last month and hear from some of our experts about how the port works (plus join us for morning tea). The two events were so popular that some people missed out, so we're looking at holding more.

Fremantle Ports has thrown its full weight behind the 2019 Fremantle Biennale (1-24 November), with many of the art-in-place events set to occur around the Inner Harbour. Fremantle Ports, a major Biennale supporter, has worked steadily for months with organisers to plan at least five significant events in the Victoria Quay precinct.
