Storm Recovery Information

On 10 May 2024 a tornado caused severe damage in Withers, South Bunbury, College Grove, and surrounding areas. Just three weeks later, on 1 June, a second severe storm passed through Koombana Bay, East Bunbury, Glen Iris, and Picton. 

The storms caused a large amount of damage to homes and businesses, with 20 buildings earmarked for demolition between the two events and many more requiring extensive repairs.
