Local secrets revealed to department staff in Freo walking tours

State government workers who have recently moved into their new offices in Fremantle’s Kings Square are being let in on some local secrets during walking tours organised by the City of Fremantle with support from the Fremantle Chamber of Commerce.More than 1700 staff from the Department of Communities and Department of Transport have relocated to Fremantle over the past few months.The special welcome tours, hosted by highly regarded guide Michael Deller of Fremantle Tours, share some of Fremantle’s intriguing stories and top local tips - like where to get the best coffee, perfect lunch spots and top small bars for Friday night drinks.Fremantle Mayor Brad Pettitt said the free walking tours were a great way for the new state government workers to familiarise themselves with the delights of Freo.“The City’s investment in the renewal of Kings Square was part of a clear plan to attract more people to live and work in Fremantle and restore our seven-day-a-week economy,” Mayor Pettitt said.“It’s just fantastic to see more than 1700 new workers coming into Fremantle and supporting our local businesses, especially now as we bounce back from COVID-19.“Fremantle has such a great atmosphere and so many interesting shops, cafes, restaurants and bars, so we’re more than happy to share a bit of local knowledge with the newcomers.“I’m certain all the new staff from the Department of Communities and the Department of Transport will really love working in Freo.” Department of Communities Director General Michelle Andrews said staff were enjoying their new surrounds. “I’m hearing lots of great stories about how much our staff are enjoying our new Head Office and the great range of shops in Fremantle.
