The Shire of Narrogin is pleased to advise that Round 2 of the 2019/2020 Community Chest is now open.

Today is a ‘Casual Dress Day’ for the Admin. employees at the Shire. This Casual Dress Day we raised funds to assist the Bushfire Relief. Our employees raised $235 which will be matched by the Shire, totalling $470 raised today which will be sent to the Australian Red Cross.

A new gallery is being curated by the Shire of Narrogin, being a gallery of portraits of former Mayors, Presidents and Chairmen, of either the past Narrogin Road Board, Narrogin Municipal Council, Town of Narrogin, or the former and present Shire of Narrogin.

The Shire of Narrogin will celebrate Australia Day on Sunday 26 January 2020 with a Community Breakfast at the Narrogin Town Hall and free entry to the swimming pool at the Narrogin Regional Leisure Centre.
