The City offers people over the age of 50 a communal environment to socialise, pursue personal interests and create supportive networks at the Autumn Centre on McNicholl Street, Rockingham. The Autumn Centre relies heavily on volunteers and is an excellent opportunity for community members to participate in a worthwhile program.
The Millar Road Landfill Facility is located at Millar Road West, Baldivis and is open seven days, from 7.30am–4pm (except Good Friday and Christmas Day). Volunteering positions are available to assist with the following tasks:
- re-use/recycle goods acceptance
- re-use/recycle good sorting and cleaning ready for sale
- re-use/recycle goods merchandising
- recycle yard shop tidying.
We have two 12-seater vehicles that are used for community transport to take people who are transport disadvantaged to various places in the City such as Rockingham and Warnbro shopping centres, Safety Bay and Rockingham libraries, the Autumn Centre, Bunnings, Social Connector Luncheons and Spud Shed.
There are two volunteer positions with the service: driver and transport assistant. Varied shifts are offered to suit people’s availability. A standard ‘C’ Class licence is required for the driver. For more information, visit Rockingham Connect.
