The City of Wanneroo extends its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of former Shire of Wanneroo Councillor James (Jim) Turley JP, who has sadly passed away at the age of 82.
Mr Turley served the South West Ward from May 1978 to May 1984 and was elected Deputy Shire President in 1982.
Away from the council, Mr Turley was a passionate advocate for vegetable growers in Western Australia.
A proud family man, Mr Turley was also a long-serving member of the Perth Football League Umpires Association, officiating hundreds of games, including grand finals.
A memorial service was held this week in his honour.
