The City of Stirling is saddened by the news that former City of Stirling Councillor and two-time Deputy Mayor June Copley has passed away, and our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with June's family.
June served as a City of Stirling Councillor for 18 years, representing the Balga Ward from 1989 – 2007. During this time June served as the Deputy Mayor twice, first from 1999 – 2000 and then again from 2005 – 2007.
Mayor Mark Irwin said June’s distinguished career in local government was punctuated by a number of awards.
“June served the local community in Balga for nearly two decades on Council and was an outstanding volunteer for various community, sports and action groups,” he said.
“During that time she was recognised for her excellence by the sector with a Meritorious Service Award, Distinguished Service Award, Life Membership and Honours Certificate of Appreciation.
“A few years after she retired from Council, June was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for her service to local government, sporting organisations and to the community of Balga.”
In 2008 the City named the June Copley Hall at Leisurepark Balga in her honour, which was officially opened by Mayor at the time and now Freeman of the City, David Boothman JP.
