As most of us knock off for the weekend, the City of Perth’s parks maintenance team will be busy keeping our city sparkling. 🌳 The team are on the ground seven days a week to ensure our 120 hectares of green spaces stay pristine, safe, and ready for our residents and visitors to enjoy. Their days are busy – collecting rubbish, emptying bins, cleaning barbecues, mowing lawns, pruning trees, and maintaining gardens. Wellington Square, in particular, gets extra attention, with rubbish picked up twice a day and regular safety checks to keep the play space clean and hazard-free. It’s a big job, but the team loves seeing their hard work pay off, especially when the parks are buzzing with people enjoying the space. And while they’re dedicated to keeping things looking great, we can all do our part by cleaning up after ourselves and reporting any issues through the Snap Send Solve mobile application: https://lnkd.in/gDjeZNiv. Next time you’re in one of our parks, take a moment to appreciate the hard work that goes into keeping them looking their best!

As the world rapidly evolves, so too does the thinking around what this means for us in the future, what exciting developments are up and coming, what legal and ethical decisions we need to explore as humans, and how we can navigate through this competing environment. This topic will be the focus of Azolla’s deep dive session into leadership and innovation led by renowned global thought leader Marion Burchell and guest speakers Michael Malone, Founder of iiNet and Jumbo Interactive; Ernest Tan, Head of UX and Design Team, HatchD; Rob Delane, Former Inspector General, Biosecurity and Director General; and Saschelle Blake, GAICD, Director, Experience Design IBM.
