Community Rangers

The City of South Perth’s community rangers play a valuable role in community education. They are often the first point of contact for information about the City’s community initiatives and the requirements of state and local laws.

Community rangers are involved in a variety of issues including:


The rangers also operate the City’s Animal Care Facility and a successful re-homing program for stray and homeless animals.

The rangers actively participate in a number of community activities including the RSPCA's Million Paws Walk.

Compliance

Rangers are also authorised to monitor and enforce compliance with specific Western Australian government legislation and local laws, including:

Emergency Management

An invaluable additional resource for emergency service agencies, our Rangers liaise with WA Police Service; State Emergency Service; Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development; Department of Fire and Emergency Services; Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries; as well as other key agencies to support and assist with emergency incidents as required. Our Rangers also deal with various response and recovery measures in case of an emergency.
