“This award recognises Tracey’s ongoing commitment, passion and enthusiasm for serving the community,” Mr Sloan said.
“In addition to being a passionate and active leader for the City of Wanneroo community, Tracey is also a strong advocate for the people of Australia, having served as Deputy President of WALGA since 2015 and Vice President of ALGA since 2018,” he said.
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.”
