Complete the Comic Competition

To celebrate the 50th Birthday of the Duncraig Library, the City of Joondalup Libraries are running a creative competition for kids throughout July.

Sean E Avery – Duncraig local and award winning author-illustrator – created a special promotional image featuring all the elements that makes Duncraig Library unique, including Max the Library whale. The enormous blue whale is suspended above the kids’ section at the Duncraig Library – have you seen it?

The Comic Competition begins with an image of Max the Whale waking up one morning and deciding what to do that day. Children from Kindy to Year 6 are encouraged to use their imagination to complete the story of Max’s day with drawings of their own. The child with the most creative comic in each age category will win a signed copy of one of Sean’s books and a customised Max the Whale puzzle.

Get involved

  • Pick up a competition entry from your local Library or download the PDF.
  • Drop off your completed comic at your local Library. Competition closes on Wednesday 31 July, 6pm. Don’t forget to include your name, phone/email, and your year at school
  • Winners will be notified by phone or email on Wednesday 14 August.

For more information please call the City on 9400 4751.

Dogs of Joondalup

Dog waste campaign

Dog poo is litter and therefore, leaving it/not picking it up is littering and could result in a fine. It is also a cause of frustration and worry amongst the community who value a clean and safe place. If you own a dog, it is your responsibility to pick up their poo – you should always carry your own bag and/or scooper with you. If you forget your bag, you can always get one from the City’s animal waste dispensers  – there are over 380 placed across the City of Joondalup.

The City is running a competition for children to design a sticker to go on some of the public bins in and around the City. Visit the competition webpage for more information.

There is more information on the City’s website about dogs:
