The damage was discovered on Monday morning and reported to the Boyup Brook Shire council.

Despite the heavy wind and wild weather, the region was mostly spared serious damage, with the Bridgetown and Manjimup SES units receiving zero call-outs. The pole has been removed from the track surrounding the oval.
