Published on Tuesday, 27 October 2026 at 11:45:10 AM

The Shire advises that a tree branch has fallen on Stuart Street, Bridgetown, near the Town Square car park. A bee colony in the branch has been disturbed and the bees are currently aggressive.

Members of the public are asked to avoid the area where possible and to take care if they need to be nearby. Please keep children and pets away from the area. People with a known bee sting allergy should stay well clear.

A beekeeper will attend today (Tuesday 27 October 2026) to safely collect and relocate the bees. The fallen branch will be removed once the bees have been relocated.

This notice will be updated once the area is safe.

The Shire thanks the community for its patience and cooperation.
