West Perth is in the process of constructing the new Henry Street Bridge over the North Thames River in Mitchell.  The project is expected to be completed by November 2020. 

The North End Bridge Summary of Event Presentation was presented to Council on March 4th, 2019 along with a Henry St. Bridge Overview Picture. Read the North End/Henry Street Bridge FAQ to learn more about the project. View the photo gallery at the bottom of this page for progress pictures of the project. 

In June 2019 the West Perth Council adopted the Keterson Park Master Plan. 

The Keterson Park Master Plan was initiated to develop a plan for Keterson Park and provide a strategic guidance for the use of the park space, the arrangement of facilities and capital planning for new or re-developed facilities.

With consideration of a new Fire Hall being built to better service the West Perth community the tennis courts in Mitchell need a new home. It was confirmed in the Recreation and Leisure Services Master Plan (2016) that there was still a demand for tennis courts and identified the need to undertake a major refurbishment of the tennis court.

In considering options for a new location the Municipality was looking for a spot with existing parking, access to washrooms and within walking distance of the schools. The recommendation is that Veterans Park become home to the new tennis courts in Mitchell. The new location will also be equipped with lights.

An Arborist Report was completed outlining the condition of the trees on the property. 

In February of 2019 Council appointed an ad hoc Building Committee to continue to review information from the Administration Office/Fire Hall Feasibility Study to provide recommendation to Council for consideration. 

In July 2019 Council approved the procurement of a conceptual design, tender-ready drawings, site plan, tender management and site supervision services related to the construction of a new Mitchell Station Fire Hall. 

In September 2019 Council approved the authorization to enter into a contract for engineering services with Nelson Dawley, P. Eng. as outlined in the Agreement for Professional Engineering Services and the September 12, 2019 Quotation for Services.
