WALGA President Cr Lynne Craigie congratulated Mayor Roberts on her membership saying she was highly regarded at all levels of government for excellent negotiation and lobbying abilities.
“Mayor Roberts’ passion and drive for local communities has delivered great benefits, both to our sector and to the community of Wanneroo, and she is highly deserving of life membership to WALGA.”
