The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is undertaking a Public Impact Assessment (PIA) to determine community interest for a local public holiday on Friday 15 June 2018.
The proposed holiday would coincide with events linked to the 125th anniversary of the discovery of gold in Kalgoorlie-Boulder (14 June 2018) and will support a long weekend of community celebrations surrounding the milestone.

In accordance with the Public and Bank Holidays Act 1972 (the Act), Local Government Authorities (LGA’s) may apply for a substitution of the Queen’s Birthday public holiday in Western Australia for another date of local significance.

The City is consulting broadly around the proposal and invites parties who are interested in expressing their views to complete the below questions:
 


Public Holiday Survey Questions

  • Do you support the proposal to shift the Queen’s Birthday public holiday from 24 September 2018 to 15 June 2018? Please outline your reason(s) for this.
  • What level of impact will the date shift have on your sector? Please outline the major advantages and disadvantages of the proposed shift.
  • What other factors should the City consider as part of the consultation process
 CKB Holiday Consultation Online Survey

The City also welcomes a written submission to the above proposal.


Submissions should be emailed directly to Holly Phillips, Executive Manager City Living at Holly.Phillips@ckb.wa.gov.au by no later than 2 October 2017.
