Phase 2: Restart Mandurah
The affects of COVID-19 globally are unprecedented and are likely to impact our community for many years to come. Things may not ever go back to how they were before and the significant economic impacts will be felt for some time.
Based on the best health advice for WA and the National Cabinet principles, the City of Mandurah has aligned its effort to:
1. Respond, and 2. Restart.
At a Special Council Meeting on 12 May, Council endorsed Restart Mandurah which focuses on reigniting Mandurah’s economy during Phase 2, commencing Monday 18 May 2020.
Restart Mandurah has three key initiatives to support the community via rate and fee savings, creating a $5 million COVID Fund, and supporting our businesses with a new Economic Taskforce, local spending and increasing visitors.
1. Rates & Fee Relief - $4.48 million in rate and fee relief

What you can do
Now, more than ever, it’s important that we stick together for our community’s wellbeing. Many members of our community are facing significant financial and mental wellbeing stress.
This is a time for spending money locally, stay connected, helping others in need, and playing an active part in Mandurah’s recovery.

If we all do our bit, Mandurah will not only get through this, but we will build a stronger and more resilient future.
