Labor’s Jackie Jarvis on the move

Newly-minted Labor South West MLC Jackie Jarvis is moving her office down Bussell Highway after the long-standing electorate office at the top of town was deemed too difficult to modify for disability access. A tender was advertised last week for the new office fit-out at the site above Boutique Eco on Margaret River’s main street. A spokesperson for Mrs Jarvis said access to the new suite would be via Ned Higgins Lane. A new office was needed to meet contemporary standards and give workers back-door egress. “My electorate office will relocate to 111 Bussell Highway in Margaret River shortly,” Mrs Jarvis confirmed. “The existing premises has a number of issues, including dampness, a lack of meeting space and no universal access for people with a disability. “The new office has access to disabled parking, multiple accessible toilets and meeting space to enable everyone in the community the opportunity to visit and discuss local matters.”
