Hi Stephen

The reason we are going to Perth is that I am a senior recruitment professional who specialises in the Water industry here in the U.k, Perth is building a desalination plant as I will be recruiting for the company responsible for the design of it, additionaly there is enough water/ waste water / population to ensure that things don't get bad.

To put things into prospective, certain areas of Thames Water's area is already under restrictions here in the U.K.
Hope this helps,
Ivan

I really like the sound of what Rockingham has to offer but I've recently read the shopping centre here is not that good, & I love to shop!! Anyone got any views on this?

Hi Leigh, you will be too busy to go shopping, you will spend all your spare time on one of the 4 beaches 5 minutes from anywhere in Rockingham. Suzette at www.cedarcottagewa.com

Hi Ivan,

Coincidentally, I work in the water industry, we landed in Perth 3 weeks ago. I start work next week for Burns & Roe Worley who designed the desal plant (with a little bit of help from Degremont).

I found my job with Hays in Perth. I found most of the other agents to be pretty useless. If you need any info before you get here pls feel free to ask away.

Cheers
Lee
