The Shire of Irwin is thrilled to announce a successful fundraising initiative that has raised $365,000 to enhance services and facilities within the twin towns of Dongara and Port Denison, as well as the surrounding rural areas. This funding will be instrumental in furthering the Shire's commitment to provide outstanding quality of life for its approximately 3,800 residents, who enjoy the unique blend of coastal beauty and rural charm.
