Equipment update

The speaker model has changed.

The original JBL PartyBox On-The-Go 2 has been discontinued. New program materials now refer to the JBL PartyBox On-The-Go 2 Plus, which includes two wireless microphones. WAssup will continue seeking the best available commercial price before each purchase.

Before the official 108

Three deliveries proved the idea.

Before the 108 Speakers Program began, three speaker-and-microphone kits were delivered to community organisations. Those experiences showed the equipment was wanted, useful and capable of supporting very different communities.

Fitzroy Crossing

Marra Worra Worra

One of the original community deliveries that helped demonstrate the value of a portable speaker-and-microphone kit in a regional setting.

Denmark

Denmark Community Resource Centre

The Denmark delivery showed how a trusted local organisation can hold and use the equipment for community activities.

Northam

Avon Community Services

Avon Community Services received a JBL PartyBox On-The-Go with two microphones, completing the third proof-of-concept delivery.

Why are these not counted in the 108? They were provided before the official program began. Keeping them separate protects the promise of 108 new WA placements and makes the public tally clear.

Public accountability

What WAssup will report.
