Say HELLO to...
Karen Wilkinson
FINANCE OFFICER - RATES
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE PEOPLE
TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?
I’m the local girl in the office! I grew up
on the family farm in Bulyee, then
moved away for school & work. I had a
reception job at an accounting firm in
Perth but didn’t really enjoy living in the
city. Lucky for me a few years prior
while doing seasonal work for CBH, I
had met my husband to be Paul
Wilkinson who was working on his
family farm. The reception job at the
Shire became available, all 17 years
ago and I’m still here! We have 3
children Emma, Sarah & Jack & all love
farm life & living in the Corrigin area.
