Message from the Shire President

Susan BruseWelcome to the website for the Shire of Wyalkatchem. This website covers not only Council business, but provides information on the broader Wyalkatchem community. One of Council’s main aims is to liaise with the people of the district and together create a community which people are proud to live and work in. The town has a fantastic community spirit and volunteering is the norm rather than the exception. Wyalkatchem values its seniors and youth, providing a range of activities and facilities for both age groups. Wylie welcomes visitors and has a number of historic buildings and museums. We look forward to you visiting our wonderful Shire and experiencing our real country hospitality.
Susan Bruse
