Cott desperate to meet Mark

Cottesloe council is trying desperately to get a meeting with Premier Mark McGowan to spruik its “shovel-ready” $22mil-lion foreshore renovation dream.

CEO Matthew Scott told coun-cillors this week there had been “various positive meetings” with people including Deputy Premier Roger Cook and new Curtin MP Kate Chaney.

“[Ms Chaney] seems very sup-portive of the project,” Mr Scott said on Tuesday night.

“We’re trying desperately to get a meeting with the Premier.”

Mr Scott said Mr McGowan was the person to see, because gov-

ernment development projects are a top state priority.

He said Mr McGowan, pic-tured, had recently been to Italy, the UK, Ireland, and Qatar on a mission to promote WA as a safe place to visit.

“[The Marine Parade renova-tion] is shovel-ready … as a State asset,” Mr Scott said.

Cottesloe council is still look-ing for $10million from the State Government for the project.

The council will provide $5million.

The State Government tipped in $48million for Scarborough’s beachfront works.

Just shift Stirling

Highway

Narrow and dangerous …the footpath outside Mosman’s Stir-

ling Highway shops.

Mosman Park council is pushing the State Government to shift Stirling Highway away from the row of heritage shops opposite Mosman Park train station.

It would give breathing space to shop frontages squeezed by multiple road widenings.

Next week Mosman Park coun-cil will vote on a $243,000 spend that would launch planning work for its precinct centred near the station and along the highway on both sides of Glyde Street.

Residents and visitors have been alarmed to see apartment buildings of nine and 11 storeys rising beside heritage buildings in Glyde Street, when rules per-mit only six storeys, with more high buildings planned there.

Councillors were warned at a meeting this week that even the formal precinct structure plan it is exploring won’t necessarily stop over-height buildings.

Councillor Zenda Johnson asked council staff whether a precinct plan would “actually seriously give us better control


Eddie Lennie wants to give a red card to Cambridge council.

The former Olympic and World Cup soccer umpire from West Leederville will run against Wembley resident Ben Mayes in next month’s Wembley ward by-election.

“I think it’s a very dysfunctional council,” Mr Lennie said this week.

“They spend more time looking at themselves and not getting on with doing what’s best for the ratepayers.”

Mr Lennie caused controversy at the 1998 World Cup in France when he sent off Cameroonian defender Raymond Kalla for sliding into an Italian player.

The head of Cameroon’s consulate com-plained about the decision to Australian government offi cials, Mr Lennie said.

“It was a correct red card,” he said.“You’ve got to be thick-skinned to be a referee.“I daresay there’s nothing anyone can say

at council that will upset me.”A mechanical engineer by trade, Mr Lennie

emigrated to Australia from Scotland in the early 90s to take a job in Perth.

He soon turned his passion for soccer into a career, refereeing 195 National Soccer League matches before retiring in 2004.

He ran as Labor’s candidate for the State seat of Scarborough in 2013, but said he was no longer a member of the ALP.

His opponent, Mr Mayes, is running for the second time after missing out on a Wembley ward seat last October.

The 34-year-old from Reserve Street said it was important for more young people to be represented on the council.

“The demographics of the area are changing,” he said.

“The population was prob-ably never expected to get as big as it is now, which has created problems.”

He said work now under way to turn Ruislip Street into a bike boulevard would push more cars onto Grantham, Harborne, and Cambridge streets.

CEO quitsCambridge CEO Karl Heiden

resigned on Thursday, hours before a meeting that was due to discuss his employment.

The POST understands mayor Keri Shannon called a closed-doors meeting for that evening to discuss Mr Heiden’s performance.

Mr Heiden had been in the job for less than four months, after suc-ceeding former CEO John Giorgi in March.

Ms Shannon said infrastructure director Kelton Hincks would serve as acting CEO while a recruitment process was undertaken.

A question

of change –

substantial

or not?A joint development assess-

ment panel (JDAP) meeting on July 15 considered whether the new Chellingworth devel-opment on Stirling Highway, Nedlands, was simply an amendment of the old one ap-proved 15 months ago.

If the changes are substantial the developers have to go back to square one with a totally new application.

The developers realise they are most unlikely to get the same deal again.

In February last year, the three specialist members on the panel outvoted the two coun-cil members and awarded a $20million development bonus to the owners.

This will not happen again. Too much has changed; there’s too much opposition; there’s too much attention.

The key is whether the changes are substantial in scale

and/or use. You decide: The new plans increase the

number of apartments by 60% and reduce the commercial space by 73%. Apartments are smaller.

Instead of an oversized mixed residential and commercial development, the proponents are now making it an oversized residential development.

Instead of 33% commercial it is now 7%. All three towers are

now over 20 storeys. And the costs have jumped 56%.

Looks like pretty substantial changes.

The JDAP meeting couldn’t decide! So the meeting was deferred to allow more time to consider the facts.

Looks simple to me. What do you reckon?

Bones of contention ... A new render of the revised Chellingworth towers project, above, and collonade, right.

With transparency in govern-ment high on the list of commu-nity concerns, and the push for a national integrity commission gaining traction, it is pleasing to see WA’s Offi ce of the Auditor General examining the market-led proposals (MLP) scheme introduced by the McGowan government in 2019.

Controversial MLPs including the Fremantle Film Studio, the Swanbourne station develop-ment and the recent sale of the Landgate building in Midland are the tip of the iceberg.

The State Government repeat-edly undermining local gov-ernment is also an area which

should be examined, with many developments in the suburbs being rubber-stamped by the State Development Assessment Unit at an alarming rate.

The turning-over of once highly-protected A-class reserves to de-velopment, despite valid concerns from councils and communities regarding lack of transparency and consultation, is a trend we should all be very worried about.

When a government has such a massive majority as the McGowan government, the role of the independent watchdog is more important than ever.

Let’s hope the Offi ce of the Auditor General can dig deep

and conduct a thorough exami-nation of these worrying trends, which are becoming the norm rather than the exception.

Christ Church Grammar’s fields

of ‘inexhaustible entitlement’In our contest with Christ

Church Grammar School we have seen fi rst-hand what inexhaust-ible entitlement looks like to us.

In the school’s recent appeal to Planning Minister Rita Saffi oti (after its scheme amendment re-quest was rejected unanimously by the Town of Cambridge) it continues to seek to circumvent both the local planning scheme and local planning strategy, in pursuit of a windfall property gain of tens of millions.

If a nearby neighbour applied to circumvent the local planning strategy for personal profi t, eve-rybody else on the street would shake their head with disbelief.

But somehow the CCGS lead-

ers rationalise that this sort of behaviour is just part of what they call “building good men”.

Their behaviour appears just like some property developers, always looking for their next spot-rezoning or special density allowance or an extra few fl oors.

They seek these wealth trans-fers by relentlessly targeting local government administra-tions for access and infl uence, and then going around the local council if they don’t get their way.

So when a mayor such as Keri Shannon at the Town of Cambridge calls out this behav-iour, it’s no surprise she draws criticism from an industry of vested interests.

Standing up for the other 99% of the community is much harder these days than you’d imagine.

We are hoping that Ms Saffi oti will recognise CCGS’s Section 76 appeal for exactly what it is and make it clear no exception is warranted, however entitled the school may think it is.

Alaine Haddon-Casey Gary Mack Keri Shannon Tim Russell

Cambridge ratepayers will foot the bill for a barrister appearing for the council in a court action over last October’s Wembley ward election.

Last Friday magistrate Trevor Darge allowed Cambridge to intervene in councillor Alaine Haddon-Casey’s challenge to the election of her rival, Gary Mack.

Ms Haddon-Casey contends in her action against the WA Electoral Commission that Mr Mack’s election should be invali-dated because he distributed fl yers that did not contain an authorising address.

Mr Mack published notices in three newspapers correcting the “genuine trivial mistake” and went on to win the fi rst of two vacancies by a 10% margin over the closest unsuccessful candidate.

“My instructions come from the CEO [Karl Heiden] of the Town,” barrister Tim Russell told Mr Darge last week.

Mr Russell said the council wanted to be involved if it was found Mr Mack’s election was invalid.

Ms Haddon-Casey’s action was hampered earlier this year when her lawyer ceased to act for her (Vote fi ght adjourned, POST, April 30).

She told Mr Darge via phone she was representing herself, but her legal costs could be $30,000.

“I’ll continue to represent myself … until I need to put submissions in,” she said.

She suggested the WAEC could re-run the Wembley ward election next month, as there was a by-election for the ward.

“In terms of cost that would be minimal,” Ms Haddon-Casey said.

“Nominations haven’t fi nished for the by-election.”

Ms Haddon-Casey wanted to include the WAEC’s conduct in running last year’s election in her complaint, despite being well over the 28-day timeframe

to do so.She said Mr Mack’s newspaper

notices had a large distribution, but “not necessarily a large readership”.

“The matter of redress is not a small one,” Ms Haddon-Casey said.

“Why was it not important enough to take action?”

But Mr Darge dismissed Ms Haddon-Casey’s bid to add to her application.

“The complaint cannot be amended,” he said.

Cambridge mayor Keri Shannon was in court for the hearing.

A one-day hearing was set for August 12.

Cambridge did not respond to

questions about how much Mr Russell’s services would cost.

Earlier this month, Ms Shannon abandoned a plan to weed out any electoral fraud in the recent Coast ward by-election following ballot paper thefts in the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale.

Before the election, Ms Shannon moved to send confi r-mation letters to all residents who voted.

She dropped the idea after the WA Electoral Commission quoted $10,500 for the job, which she called “a ridiculous amount of money”.

Highway hi-rise explodesNorth Freo goes dense

North Fremantle’s popula-tion could balloon by more than a third if two big devel-opments go ahead, residents were told last week.

About 70 people packed the North Fremantle Community Hall on Saturday morning to talk about developer Three Oceans’ plans for the Matilda Bay Brewery Site, according to organiser Gerard MacGill.

Stage 1 of Three Oceans’ plan would see three towers with a combined 207 apartments built on less than half of the 2.87ha site.

“It ignores the structure plan in just about every respect,” Mr MacGill said.

Residents at the meeting theorised that both stages of the Three Oceans project and another development at the nearby OneSteel site could end up with more than 700 apart-ments between them, housing more than 1400 residents.

The population of North Fremantle was 3947 at last year’s census.

Residents told Saturday’s meeting they were worried about the infl ux of residents bringing traffi c and parking problems to the area.

Architect and local resi-dent Martin Grounds panned the Matilda Bay project in a written assessment, call-ing it “disrespectful” to the State heritage-listed brewery

building.The 1929 building started life

as a Ford car factory, which operated until 1987.

Three Oceans plans to re-tain the building and add a

restaurant level on top of the single-storey Stirling Highway frontage.

Stage 1 of the Matilda Bay redevelopment would see 207 apart-ments built in three towers, with more to follow in Stage 2.

‘Slip under the radar’

A much-awaited decision on the supersized Chellingworth development in Nedlands has been delayed by confusion over planning rules.

The Victorian consortium behind the $500million Stirling Highway project has made a raft of changes to the approved plans, adding 137 apartments and slashing commercial space.

Controversially, the devel-opers are trying to get the changes approved through a fast-tracked process designed for minor amendments.

At a chaotic development assessment panel (DAP) meet-ing last week, neighbour Ken Perry accused the developers

of trying to “slip under the radar”.

“The commercial and retail space on the podium is re-duced by 73%,” he said.

“It’s nonsense to suggest these aren’t substantial changes.”

But the developer’s lawyer, Paul McQueen, argued the “essence” of the development had not changed.

“The modifi cations proposed do not in essence … change this proposal from an apple into an orange,” he said.

“It might be a different coloured apple, it might be a different sized apple, but we are still putting forward a proposal that is in essence the same.”

Nedlands council planners called the DAP meeting to seek an early ruling on the question, which could save them from conducting an expensive and time-consuming assessment of the new plans.

The Victorian consortium wants to built 368 apartments on the

Chellingworth Motors site.

Tower exposedA view of what 23

storeys looks like in the middle of a mid-rise town centre became stark reality this month.

Cranes and scaff old-ing disappeared from around One Subiaco, re-vealing a smooth, mono-lithic tower at the site of the Pavilion Market on Rokeby Road.

Developer Blackburne says there are only three vacant penthouses left of the tower’s 236 apart-ments.

The $280million devel-opment includes alfresco cafes and restaurants, permanent and pop-up market stalls, and retail space.

It is expected to open at the end of 2022.

Digital move to speed up Nedlands councilMore than 50,000 non-

spam emails hit Nedlands council’s inbox each month, CEO Bill Parker says.

Council workers switched on their new customer inquiry system and stream-lined website on July 4, in a bid to cut wait times and keep track of issues.

T h e c l o u d - b a s e d OneCouncil system allows residents to lodge, track and follow-up on service requests and enquiries, all on the same platform.

It also promises to “sim-plify and modernise” rates collection and financial reporting.

“The use of self-service online processes will help

speed up inquiry responses while keeping costs low,” Mr Parker said.

“Ongoing monitoring of the new system and cus-tomer feedback will allow us to trouble-shoot issues as they arise, and add further features as required.”

Last year, corporate and strategy director Ed Herne told a meeting that the council’s “outdated” record-keeping software had “sig-nifi cant problems”.

He said the old system was incapable of handling new reporting require-ments ordered by the State Government after a corruption scandal at the Department of Communities.

Out of eight elected members, six staff ers, two ratepayers, and two media workers, only four were wearing masks.

They were deputy mayor Helen Sadler, councillor Craig Masarei, engineering manager Shaun Kan, and a reporter.

Both Mr McGowan and Ms Sanderson have re-peatedly said they would “strongly encourage” mask-wearing inside and in crowded places, including schools – and presumably council meetings.

Calm clinic in Subiaco

The Department of Health has set up a vaccination sedation clinic in partnership with Subiaco Private Hospital, in Salvado Road.

It is for “individuals w i t h d i s a b i l i t y, neurodiversity or severe needle phobia”.

T h e H e a l t h Department gave the hospital the $484,000 contract in May. It is set to fi nish by January 30, 2023.

Subiaco ratepayers could be paying an extra $19 a year to have their garden waste and food scraps collected weekly.

Councillors voted last month to introduce a new govern-ment-mandated waste system in early 2023 with a standard service costing $315.

This year’s Subiaco budget, to be voted on at the ordinary meeting of the council this Tuesday, July 26, includes a 6.5% rise in the fee for waste collection.

This covers the extra bin, the extra cost involved in taking the scraps to a composting facility, and infl ation.

The government will also

provide a grant of $12 per household, a total of $60,000, to cover some costs.

A report to council said introducing the FOGO (food organics, garden organics) bin system would cost about $418,000.

All residents will get a new green-lidded bin where they can put their food and garden organics.

The red-lidded general waste bin will move to fort-nightly collections and the mixed recycling will continue to be collected fortnightly.

The system has already been introduced in Cottesloe (All go for FOGO, POST, June 18).

The FOGO system will replace Subiaco’s weekly

green waste collection under which ratepayers can put out between four and 10 bags of garden clippings or a pile of loose greens to be collected by the council.

There will instead be two free loose garden waste col-lections each year so residents can have garden waste too big for the bin collected.

Deputy mayor Stephanie Stroud told last month’s meet-ing that FOGO was a “proven, effi cient way of composting green waste and food scraps”.

She added: “It’s going to take a lot of education and marketing, a lot of patience and understanding from the community, as well as their commitment.”

Masks back at schoolsSchool students have been

asked to wear masks indoors again, as COVID cases and hos-pital admissions soar.

And, with a push for third and fourth COVID vaccine shots domi-nating the Government response to the current surge, teenagers be-tween 12 and 15 are still ineligible to receive a third shot.

In an unprecedented move, a joint letter from the heads of the Department of Education (DoE), Catholic Education WA (CEWA) and the Association of Independent Schools of WA (AISWA) was sent to all parents and carers of school-aged children on Wednesday afternoon.

“We ask that your child wears a mask to school to keep our schools as safe as possible,” the letter said.

The three leaders – Jim Bell from the DoE, Dr Debra Sayce from

CEWA and Valerie Gould from AISWA – urged parents to support their children’s mask-wearing.

“Please explain to your child the importance of wearing a mask to reduce the risk of transmission in schools and the community,” their letter said.

Earlier in the week Education Minister Sue Ellery had told the POST: “Wearing masks indoors [at school] is strongly encouraged.

“Should the health advice change, schools will respond ac-cordingly as they have throughout the pandemic.”

But just two days later the Department of Education’s mes-sage had markedly changed to explicitly request that students mask-up.

“It is vital we continue to keep ourselves and our school commu-nity safe,” Ms Ellery said.

Sculpture on the move

Arc de couleur … The striking arch fashioned from shipping containers, at Fremantle. Photo: Paul McGovern

Fremantle’s iconic Containbow sculpture will be moved from its hillside perch to accommodate the new bridge to North Fremantle.

Main Roads has ordered the removal of Marcus Canning’s piece, offi cially named “Rainbow”, because it is too close to Canning Highway.

The towering arch of multicol-oured shipping containers has a view of Fremantle Port, making it a popular spot for selfi es.

It was installed by Fremantle council in 2016 at a cost of $145,000.

“We are working closely with the

City of Fremantle and the artist regarding its future use and loca-tion,” a Main Roads spokesperson said.

While the new road bridge will be built more than 200m west of the sculpture, Main Roads is planning an upgrade to the Canning Highway road reserve that will incorporate “heritage, public art, and other opportunities”.

Fremantle mayor Hannah Fitzhardinge said she hoped to an-nounce where the sculpture could move within a month.

“Containbow is treasured by Fremantle and will always have a place,” she said.

Subiaco’s heritage tram Ruby is relocating to Bunbury for a new adventure.

Kevin, who runs Le Charabanc Private Charters, said he hoped she would become a feature in the south west town, much as she had in Subiaco.

The gleaming red carriage was a common sight through Subiaco, Shenton Park and Kings Park for fi ve years, before the pandemic killed off the free service in March.

Owner Niki Peinke, a local real estate agent, put it up for sale for $69,000 and Kevin snapped the tram up this week.

“I want to bring a bit of happi-ness to the world,” Kevin said.

“I have a 1927 coach that I use to take people on date nights.

“I ask people to put away their phones for two hours and I ask them questions like ‘how did you meet?’ Sharing in that special moment is priceless.

“Everyone has been asking for

something bigger and with Ruby I could do wine tours, dinners, anything on it really. I’ll just make it up as I go along.”

Kevin said he also had a limo but it didn’t bring about the same excitement as the restored coach.

“They want something that they’ve never been able to go on before, and Ruby’s got it!” he said.

Kevin will give it a lick of paint and hopes to have it up and running in three weeks.

“We’ll restore her beauti-fully, we’ll be able to ride wearing Tops and Tails, it’ll take us right back in time,” he said.

Ruby was built from original parts for the America’s Cup in 1986/7 as a replica of the original trams that were once a common sight across Perth, including through Subiaco.

Ms Peinke took a punt and bought for $85,000 and paid the running expenses of the vintage-style vehicle after failing to

persuade Subiaco council to buy it and run it (Tram idea runs off the rails, POST, July 2, 2017).

Anyone could hail and stop Ruby along the route through Subiaco, extended later into Kings Park, and ride free.

After COVID hit, Ms Peinke said the service could no longer continue with volunteer staff.

“It is really sad for Subi,” Ms Peinke said.

Her advertisement said Ruby had been “extremely popular for

wedding transportation and pho-tographic group outings, school balls and many other events.

“She is renovated, licensed, insured and ready to add to (or start!) your collection of unusual vehicles.”

Leeuwin bubbles for baseball dream Leeuwin Renwick hopes

selling lemonade on his home street and at Harvey Field will help him get to America to play baseball for Australia.

The Cottesloe boy is one of two West Australians cho-sen for a 12-and-under side which will compete in the Cal Ripken Major70 World Series next month. The other is Zach

Richardson, from Wanneroo.“This is my fi rst year in

baseball,” Leeuwin, 12, said.“It feels like what I was

meant to do.“When you step out on the

fi eld and hit a home run, you just don’t get a feeling like that anywhere else.”

The Shenton College stu-dent said the sport was as much a mind game as it was a physical game.

“Even if you’re on the bench

you have to be with the game: you could go on the fi eld at any moment,” he said.

Leeuwin started with tee-ball in Year 1 at City Beach Teeball Club, and now plays at Wembley Baseball Club

He said he liked playing pitcher, shortstop, and centre fi eld.

Early this month both Leeuwin and Zach played for the West Coast Rays on the Gold Coast.

“I had six strike-outs [as

pitcher] at the tournament,” Leeuwin said.

His grandfather and par-ents take him to training and games at Wanneroo, Morley, and Thornlie.

Cal Ripken Jr was a short-stop and third baseman who played 2632 consecutive games for the Baltimore Orioles.

POST, July 23, 2022 –

Cambridge mayor Keri Shannon and her bloc have voted to hire a high-powered defama-tion law firm at ratepayers’ expense after former councillor Rob Fredericks criticised them.

Mr Fredericks made some re-marks in an exit interview with the POST after he resigned from his Wembley ward seat in April.

“I really haven’t been happy with the leadership,” he said. (Fredericks quits, POST, April 30).

He alleged some councillors were prepared to use the State Government’s complaints process as “a game” to hurt their political opponents.

After Mr Fredericks’ criticisms were published in the POST and another newspaper, Ms Shannon and her group of council support-ers voted in closed-door meetings to engage law fi rm Bennett + Co.

The fi rm is headed by senior defamation lawyer Martin Bennett.

In a letter to Mr Fredericks that

was approved by a secret coun-cil meeting, principal associate Fabienne Sharbanee wrote that councillors were “seriously ag-grieved”.

“The publications constitute serious defamations of our clients and have caused immediate and serious harm to their personal and professional reputations,” Ms Sharbanee wrote.

“The defamatory statements variously give rise to the seriously defamatory imputations that … mayor Shannon is incompetent in her leadership of the council [and] mayor Shannon and the council-lors are motivated by personal agendas.”

The letter demanded that Mr Fredericks sign a pre-drafted apol-ogy and retraction, then send it to the POST and the other newspaper.

At the time of publication, he had not done so.

The letter also foreshadowed a possible lawsuit.

Mr Fredericks declined to com-ment.

Cambridge lawyers-up for defamation fight

Rates are set for a 5% hike in Cottesloe, but there was little fanfare about the council budget this week.

Instead, councillors had queries for staff about new employee costs; lifeguard services; a new computer system; and a donation.

A report to councillors at Tuesday night’s meeting said key strategic projects included the IT upgrade ($1.175million); The Grove library funding ($551,811); street tree planting valued at $258,868; and $700,000 for the Eric Street shared path.

The report said Verge Valet costs of $130,000 would be offset by fees paid for the service.

It said FOGO bin introduc-tion costs would also be offset by a reduction in waste col-lection costs, but there were

also FOGO transfer station costs of $208,000.

Councillor Paul McFarlane queried the $248,075 slated for lifeguard services at Cottesloe Beach.

“I couldn’t fi nd an allow-ance for North Cottesloe,” he said.

CEO Matthew Scott said the money paid for lifeguards at Cottesloe during the week.

“At Cottesloe and North Cottesloe on weekends it’s done by volunteers,” Mr Scott said.

Mayor Lorraine Young asked about a request for a $10,000 donation from North Cottesloe Primary School for its 125th anniversary celebra-tions.

Ms Young wanted details on how many school students lived in Cottesloe.

Mr Scott said staff could ask the school.

Councillors are due to vote on the budget next Tuesday.

Seaview Kindy has already benefited from a $20,000 budget line item.

The money was used for a refurbished kitchen at the Broome Street building.

“It’s a brilliant new kitchen; it’s made a big difference,” teacher Ros Punshon said, as children made playdough on Tuesday.

“It was all done over the school holidays: new shelves, drawers, cupboards, sink, and microwave.

“Asbestos also had to be removed.”

The kindy kids used fl our, salt, and oil to make the play-dough and added blue food colouring.

“You could make gnocchi with it, but you’d need a roll-ing pin,” one girl said.

Cottesloe dough rises5% whack

Subiaco could lift its rates 1.9% on top of a 6.5% hike in garbage charges.

The fi gures are included in this year’s budget, which coun-cillors will vote on next week.

The higher waste rates will

cover the costs of implement-ing a food and garden organics waste system, which requires a third bin (see page 5).

Regarding general rates, the minimum rate of $1190 will continue to apply.

That figure remains un-changed since 2020.

It applies to around 14.5% of properties in the City of Subiaco.

An interest charge on unpaid rates of 7% per year, calculated daily, will apply.

Pensioners are eligible for up to 50% off the rate amount, capped at $750.

The functions of local govern-ments to manage roads, rates and rubbish have been rel-egated by the current Cottesloe Council, which prioritises the manufacturing of artifi cial “at-tractions” and replacing the suburb’s limited green spaces with heat-generating hard surfaces.

The disappearance of insects, lizards, bugs and bees and con-sequently birds, all of which signify healthy environments, are the result.

New plantings can never revive wiped-out creatures.

The recent council budget indicates proposed expenditure exceeds proposed earnings.

Funds continue to be expend-ed on consultants, overblown development projects, and a further increase in the number of council employees.

A recent request for rubbish bins on the beach from Grant Street to Cottesloe Main, to encourage proper disposal of litter, was ignored by all but one councillor, whose explanation for the council’s refusal was that there is no room in the budget for more bins.

Last hot summer many heat-distressed birds were observed, but a request to the council to look into providing bird-watering stations in local parks was disregarded by the administration and elected members.

Only one councillor re-sponded, stating: “The council has agreed not to increase our service level or introduce any

new initiatives … We have a number of infrastructure pro-jects that are very costly both in construction costs and ongoing maintenance.”

The Town of Victoria Park has invented economical bird-watering stations that have attracted and saved birds of many varieties.

The councils of South Perth, Nedlands, Kwinana and Vincent have all subsequently installed them, but Cottesloe has no inter-est in providing them.

The damage to the natural environment from pollution and the destruction of ecosys-tems replaced by concrete and bitumen is well documented.

In my view, the council is

losing sight of preserving and maintaining the character of Cottesloe and of protecting the environment.

Burning issue reignited

on south west forestsThe combined negative

impacts of logging, burning, mining and clearing on our ecosystems are undeniable.

Fire is now listed as a key threatening process, yet broadscale prescribed burning in WA continues in every season, with surprisingly little peer-reviewed science to support it.

Ecologists have long known that the effect of disturbance is to create dense regrowth.

As fi re-behaviour scientist Dr Philip Zylstra (Curtin University) has explained: “Disturbance gives us flammable forests but we keep disturbing them because we count the few years of benefi t and externalise the decades of cost.

“The usual Western approach to ‘forest management’ comes out of the agricultural revolution, the idea that we have to subdue the Earth.”

But rather than lessening the likelihood of future infernos, much large-scale burning is making forests more fl ammable and increasing the risk.

The latest peer-reviewed

research by Zylstra, Bradshaw and Lindenmayer shows, from the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions’ own records, that fi re has been seven times less likely in long-unburned forests than in forests still recovering from previous prescribed burns.

Older, self-thinned forests in WA’s South-West have been, all along, the least likely places to burn.

Forest ecologist Professor David Lindenmayer (Australian National University) warns that prescribed burning is “now an industry”, burning to meet targets rather than moving with the new science.

Professor Kingsley Dixon (Curtin University) shares that view. He says “the mantra is burn or be burnt’’ when “clearly it’s not that simple”.

It is time to stop spreading fear based on outdated practices and time for a louder public outcry when our stunning clear blue skies are obliterated by shocking smoke pollution and our biodiversity, health and welfare are placed under threat.

An independent review of WA’s prescribed burning policy and practice, especially broadscale burning to meet huge targets, is long overdue.

POST, July 23, 2022 –

North Fremantle residents say they have been “hood-winked and bulldozed” over State Government plans to build a bike path at the back of their properties.

Pearse Street residents, whose heritage homes back on to the railway reserve, fear they could end up living next to a dangerous thoroughfare, a high wall that blocks out the sun, and artifi cial lights that would be on all night.

They say consultation by gov-ernment bodies has felt more like “them telling us what they’re doing, rather than listening to our concerns and ideas”.

A series of questions put to Main Roads on Tuesday were unanswered by the time the POST went to print on Thursday.

One Pearse Street resident, Jill Johnson, said none of the impacted locals had seen any detailed plans but there ap-peared to be workmen assessing the reserve in recent weeks.

The proposed work is one of the fi nal stages linking the cycle path between Perth and Fremantle.

At a June Zoom meeting be-tween residents and the Bridges Alliance, residents were told the location for the cycle path on the east side of the railway reserve, a narrow space between homes and the tracks, was the best “technical” option.

In a letter distributed to MPs and Fremantle council, residents said it was the “worst social option”.

They say the elevated path would be an enclosed space for 300m “with no escape route and no easy access for emergency services or police”.

And while it is called a Principle Shared Path, they doubt it would be safe for walk-ers if they must share it with fast travelling e-bikes, e-scooters, and peloton riders.

They add that it would bypass North Fremantle businesses and appear to be unconnected to any broader plan for the area.

Other suggested options, such as a route down Bracks Street to Tydeman Road, had been “dismissed” by the Bridges Alliance, they said.

“I feel as though we’re being bulldozed, actually, hoodwinked and bulldozed,” Ms Johnson said.

She has lived in a heritage home on Pearse Street for 18 years with a thriving garden at the back of her property, which will lose sun and view of the trains if a solid brick wall is

built to separate the cycle path from homes.

Her next door neighbour, Heather Deighan, lives in an 1873 heritage home which has

its back wall, including stained glass windows, on the boundary of the block.

“If this craziness goes ahead, it will seriously affect the struc-

tural integrity of my house,” Ms Deighan said.

“My bedroom is at the back of the house, I will look out my window and be eye-to-eye with cyclists.”

Residents also raised concerns about the noise coming from rid-ers talking to each other early in the morning and setting off barking dogs.

It is a different noise to trains that rumble past every 20 minutes.

“I love the hum of the trains and watching them as they pass, they formed part of my decision to purchase in the fi rst place,” Ms Johnson said.

The Pearse and Jackson Street pocket of North Fremantle was a quirky and community-minded place with a mixture of long-term residents and new families moving in.

It is feared the new path will devalue their homes and impact on their community, particularly if a park at the end of the cul-de-sac regularly used for street parties is stripped of some mature trees and privacy.

The inside story of verge junkThe fi rst western suburb council to embrace

the controversial Verge Valet system looks keen to sign up for more.

After a 30-month weekly trial, Mosman Park has saved money, saved the amount of junk sent to landfi ll, and made 75% of users of the pre-booked rubbish removal system happy.

“The convenience and delivery of the innova-tive Verge Valet is outstanding,” one Mosman Park resident wrote in January this year.

“It’s simply the best local government service I’ve ever experienced.”

The Western Metropolitan Regional Council has made the service available to other councils.

Cottesloe, Cambridge and Subiaco are using it.Mosman Park council answered criticism

that Verge Valet prevented recycling by people who scavenged from verges during general throw-out days.

Householders were encouraged to give away re-usable items prior to collection, with options provided on the websites of the council and the WMRC.

The Verge Valet collectors recycled material such as wood and metal.

There was a decrease in tonnage of waste to landfi ll, and 100% of green waste was recycled.• Please turn to page 40

The Cambridge Library community celebrated a huge milestone this month when the popular facility in Floreat turned 20.

Librarians marked the occasion by handing out macaroons to patrons on Friday 15 July and even had a LEGO version of the library on display.

In 2002, Cambridge Library replaced the outdated Floreat Library and already had a healthy membership of 10,000 registered borrowers and 43,000 books when it opened in mid-July of that year.

Over the years, the library community has grown and the library collection has expanded to include e-books, movies, photography databases and more.

To be part of a 20th birthday memory book, please visit www.library.cambridge.wa.gov.au for a ‘We’re Turning 20!’ form or pick one up at the library. From there, just draw or jot down what you love about Cambridge Library.

To receive the latest about upcoming news and events, sign up for the monthly Cambridge Library Reader e-newsletter on the library's website.

It's almost 60 years since the British Empire and Commonwealth Games were held in Perth and we need your help for an upcoming display.

The 1962 games put Perth and local suburbs on the world sporting stage. Perry Lakes Stadium was constructed to host the majority of the events, and a �rst-of-its-kind Athlete’s Village was built in City Beach.

To uncover more about the event's legacy, we are looking for residents who bought a Games Village house in 1963, or are living in one today.

We would also welcome donations of photographs, house plans/renovation plans as well as memories of homes built to accommodate the athletes.

Local Studies Librarians are on hand at Cambridge Library from 9.00am to 3.00pm on weekdays to scan and return your items. Email [email protected] or phone (08) 9383 8969 for queries.

Mosman ponders the Med’s coloursA Mosman Park home-owner

fronted her local council meet-ing this week as it debated the red-orange terracotta clay tiles on the roof of her herit-age home.

Damien and Tara Niesler wanted to replace the tiles with black slate so that black solar panels on the roof would blend in.

But heritage architects for the Mosman Park council said that a black slate roof would have a negative impact on the heritage value of the prominent Mediterranean style house.

Built in 1934 for the family of orthopaedic surgeon Reginald McKeller-Hall, the house on 1103 square metres overlooks the river from the corner of Bay View Terrace and Glyde Street.

The council ’s heritage architects say it remains an intact and excellent example of inter-war Mediterranean style.

T h e p r e s e n t o w n e r s ’ application is to extend and renovate and to move the garage from Glyde Street to Bay View Terrace and change the roof. It was deferred at the council’s last meeting.

A neighbour in Glyde Street complained about overshadowing, but a council staff report said that, the 17%, shadowing fell well short of the permitted 25% area.

Tara Niesler said the family was sympathetically renovating the house to its former glory, and two heritage architects had supported the darker roof.

The owners have now offered to change the roof from slate to charcoal terracotta tiles, with an Italian/Spanish profi le.

The council ’s heritage architects had said that while a black slate roof would soften the impact of the solar cells, it would have a negative impact on the streetscape.

“ A b l a c k t i l e i s s t i l l inconsistent with the original design intent,” they said.

They recommended that a replacement roof be red/orange terracotta tiles to refl ect the existing roof colour, materials and design intent.

The owners strongly disagreed, and disputed that a garage in Bay View Terrace would interfere with traffi c.

The council will make a decision next week.

New owners of this Glyde Street home want to replace the roof with black slate.

A render of how solar black panels would look against red-orange terracotta tiles at heritage-listed McKeller-Hall.

Barchetta bids in secretA shortlist of people who

want to take on the lease of beachside restaurant Barchetta has been drawn up by Cottesloe council.

Councillors went into secret mode at Tuesday night’s meet-ing to discuss the lease.

Councillor Craig Masarei de-clared an impartiality interest.

“Some of the shortlisted tenderers are known to me,” Mr Masarei said.

Mayor Lorraine Young, deputy mayor Helen Sadler, and councillors Kirsty Barrett, Melissa Harkins, and Chilla

Bulbeck also made the same declaration.

The council won’t say how many people tendered expres-sions of interest for the 260sq.m site (Barchetta on the block, POST, May 7).

An advertisement earlier this year sought “an experienced hospitality business opera-tor” to take on the site with an 11-year lease that could be ex-tended for two lots of fi ve years.

Any new deal would see the public toilets below Barchetta returned to council control.

Cottesloe’s accounts showed

The Property Valuation and Advisory was paid $4400 for a valuation estimate.

The Nedlands fi rm’s manag-ing director, Gavin Chapman, was a business partner of for-mer mayor Phil Angers in the Napoleon Street Fiddlesticks Toys shop.

The accounts show law fi rm McLeods were paid $2554 for drawing up a draft lease for the premises.

The lease is currently held by Yellowdot Enterprises, co-owned by Phil, Jane and Chris King.

Running off

the railsWhat a disappointment

Subiaco train station is.Once again, early this week,

no lifts were working.The escalator has now been

out of action for more than two weeks.

An elderly woman struggled down the steps; a family had to carry their pram and child.

Toilets? Where are they? Where are the signs?

Tag on-off points? Not even in a prominent position.

There are billions of dol-lars in the bank but we dare not spend it.

And just three toilets at Perth station, with 360,000 passenger boardings a day.

Andrew HarrisRokeby Road, Subiaco

Not so user-friendly ... Escalator and lifts are often out of action on Subiaco station.

The cementing of Cottesloe’s foreshore strip continues – namely the planned demise of John Black Dune Park with the high-impact skatepark and its access paths all nicely hidden behind the No.2 Carpark’s in two-tiered parking levels topped by two fi ve-storey buildings.

This cements the Town’s contribution to the shocking facts exposed in the recently released Australian State of the Environment Report – a report kept under wraps for months much like the Town of Cottesloe’s plans for the No.2 Carpark development.

How can a council pat itself on the back for introducing the FOGO (food organics, garden organics) bin system, yet continue in its plans to obliterate one of the last pieces of urban open environment coastal public reserve land?

We are asked to individually

do our daily small bit for the environment but our Town stubbornly looks the other way.

With the Town sit t ing guardedly on its commissioned No.2 Carpark feasibility report, can we expect decisions being made on budget income grounds only, or on environmental and sustainability assessment goals?

Nurturing humankind’s w e l l b e i n g i s t h r o u g h reconnecting with nature – if the council believes on-line surveys are the path to reconnecting with its community I see more environmental despair ahead.

Still, some will think it will be worth it for completing Marine Concrete Parade, a few extra toilet stalls, more cafes, perhaps a telecom tower and current carparking plans that have only a net increase of 28 additional parking spaces.

Cottesloe concretes its assets

Support at a level of de-tail to Vicki Lummer’s letter (Planners deserve more respect,July 16) might generate such much-needed light against the prevailing hysteria that comes from certain elected members and aggrieved neighbours in-fected with the NIMBY (not in my backyard) syndrome.

As a matter of law planners must work with local plan-ning schemes which are law (not policy), the Planning and Development Act, building regulations, the Metropolitan Region Scheme and the Local Government Act and regulations.

Putting aside the machinations of the current State Government, as a general rule development

entitlements become law only after public consultation.

I suspect precious few of the NIMBY tribe ever bother to make submissions at the time they are allowed to do so.

How often do we see planners subjected to vile abuse when all they have done is reviewed the law, assessed development enti-tlements, considered favourable and opposing views and looked at any relevant council policies?

We often see council staff treated with total disrespect and venomous comments that refl ect ignorance of the law and disturbingly low personal values.

Geoff OwenDaglish Street, Wembley

NIMBYs, planners and the lawFederal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek, releasing the State of the Environment Report, called it “a story of crisis and decline”.

The report found the country’s environment is in a “poor and deteriorating state”.

Looking deeper, we fi nd that one of the main problems is land clearing, which both decimates native animal populations and

reduces the ability of the land to store carbon.

The report says: “Ongoing pressures from agriculture are immense. As of 30 June 2017, ap-proximately half of Australia’s land mass was used for agricultural production, mostly for grazing.”

Animals farmed for meat and milk lead wretched lives of suffering followed by gruesome deaths while still young.

Imagine if we were to stop breeding them and re-wild some of the millions of square kilo-metres of land that have been devastated for the profi ts of a few giant corporations.

Closing down these factories of horror would allow regen-eration of native forests, saving koalas and other animals from

the threat of extinction, as well as sucking up carbon dioxide and making us a world leader in greenhouse emission control.

All it requires is for all of us to vote with our knives and forks and not buy meat and dairy – a simple, elegant and immediate solution.

Mystery ofWandana ban

Housing Minister John Carey’s office would not answer a question this week about an invalid banning notice given to a former Subiaco public housing tenant.

James Leslie Hodder, 78, was evicted from his A-Block fl at last year by the Communities Department and later served with a no-tice banning him from the complex by police (Outrage over friend’s exclusion from Wandana, POST, July 16).

Mr Hodder was charged with trespassing at Wandana, but was found not guilty after a trial last month.

The magistrate said the police case failed partly due to the department not providing evidence that its worker, Brian McChesney, has the authority to sign the banning notice.

Last week the department sent queries from the POST to Mr Carey’s offi ce for “clear-ance”.

But Mr Carey’s offi ce would not say what the minister made of t he issue.

“The Department of Communities is awaiting further information regard-ing the magistrate’s decision and is unable to comment on the matter at this time,” a spokesman said.

Last week Mr Hodder’s friend, Wandana tenant Valerie Fernandes, said she wanted answers from Communities.

“They haven’t given us a let-ter saying the banning notice is over,” she said.

“I’m very upset by this.”

David Hartree says he had a “dream commission” from mining and property magnate Kerry Harmanis.

The architect and his col-leagues are celebrating after Cottesloe council’s planners ap-proved plans for Mr Harmanis’s $40million Pearse Street project.

The prize site overlooks Sea View Golf Club to the ocean.

Work is expected to start on the six apartments and three townhouses in August, with a 22-month build time.

Mr Hartree said it was refresh-ing not to push the planning framework for maximum height, minimum setbacks, and the highest monetary return.

“The client brief called for an ‘innovative neighbourly pro-posal redefi ning seaside living in Cottesloe’ – that’s a dream commission for an architect,” he said.

“We decided early that the ef-fi cient approval path would be to work with the local council, as opposed to State Government-managed DAP, or the SDAU path.

“The strategy to achieve this started with delivering a design sympathetic to the scale of local development.

“Our team was delighted with comments from the Town of Cottesloe Design Review Panel, and the performance of council staff and offi cers in processing our application.

“The approval came with-

out time delays and the usual months of conjecture and cost that goes with that – from a commercial developer’s point of view that’s a great outcome.

“From a progressive com-munity point of view, that profi -ciency of the approval process is going to assist with better quality projects happening sooner … it’s a win win.”

The project, called Kailo (ocean in Hawaiian) will be on three blocks facing Sea View Golf Club (Three houses to go for beach units, POST, March 19).

Property records show Mr Harmanis spent $30million for the land.

Mr Hartree said a study tour

to Sardinia infl uenced Kailo’s design.

“We tapped into the energy and spectacle of the coastal edge, and created a dura-ble architecture wearing its Mediterranean solidity,” he said.

“With homes averaging 500sq.m internal space, another 200sq.m of terraces, roof terraces and customised interiors, this

development will not be for everyone’s budget.

“However we have been sur-prised during the design process that word has got out and the volume of enquiries – we are busy preparing for another buyer presentation later this week.”

Mr Harmanis said it was an exciting time for Cottesloe and the western suburbs.

“Many long-term residents love the local amenity, the coastal lifestyle and their neigh-bours – yet they live on large, high maintenance, spend-your-weekend-gardening properties,” he said.

“Rezoning has blessed these residential sites with compli-ance for a modest development collaboration, where the owner can keep one dwelling and ex-ercise sale or lease options on the others.

“We are currently investigat-ing strategies around this con-cept at several other local sites.”

Pobblebonkpreservation

You could have knocked me over with a feather, and indeed I was soon on the ground to take some photos of this very unexpected frog.

He was on the side of a track at the top of a dune in Underwood Bushland.

Later, after consulting my frog book, I found out that he was a pobblebonk or western banjo frog, Limnodynastes dorsalis.

I learnt from the WA Museum Boola Bardip website that these frogs are “often encountered a considerable distance from per-manent water ... They are adept at burrowing and spend much of the year buried in sandy soils away from breeding sites.”

So if any part of the bushland was allowed to be cleared, the bulldozer driver would not know what was beneath the ground.

Goes well, just needs new batteryEach week I read of more and

more calls for the return of the old-style verge collection, and I agree with all those in favour.

One point to add is just how impressed international visitors have been to see and hear all about the annual swap of one person’s rubbish for another’s treasure, and the wonderful recycling involved.

Living in Subiaco for more

than 25 years, I have collected and repaired many a family object of delight.

Now, in older age, I experience delight in placing treasure on the verge with a “Goes well, just needs new battery” note, and see it gone overnight.

Bring back the old verge col-lection, I say.

Laurie Taylor (Nedlands must counter ‘fi nancial abuse’, Letters, July 16) has highlighted a sys-temic problem with the manage-ment of council fi nances.

CEOs should be appointed on results-based remuneration linked to the savings that are achieved on the budget from the previous year.

This would align the CEO’s fi nancial aspirations with the ratepayers.

The elected councillors need

to act as directors to see that the services the community use and need are maintained.

This would allow the CEO to become a real manager and get rewarded for running an effi cient operation.

After looking at a succession of Nedlands budgets I can see lots of fat that can be removed by an incentivised astute CEO.

Floodgatesopen onSubi drains

Subiaco is pouring millions into preparing for one-in-100-year storms after severe weather fl ooded city streets four times in 12 years.

Since July 2021, 59 spots in the city have fl ooded.

Peter Skender told Subiaco council last month that 64-66 Coghlan Road had been badly hit on March 23, 2010, twice in 2011 and again on July 9 last year.

Councillor Gary Kosovich said: “I think we were all shocked by the fl oods of last July.

“Some people and their homes in Subiaco have been fl ooded more than once.

“I understand there is a prop-erty in the lower end of Gloster Street and I do not want to see those people go through fl ood-

ing again.”Eight of the 59 sites identifi ed

for works have been upgraded to cater for one-in-100-year storms.

This year’s budget, to be voted on at Tuesday’s council meeting allocates $1.12million to upgrade 17 more.

A further 19 are yet to be funded. Councillor Angela Hamersley

told last month’s meeting the im-provements were to the highest level possible.

“That is not going to guarantee anyone there will never be a fl ood … we see that very strange things do happen in terms of the amount of water that can fall out of the sky in very short periods of time,” she said.

Wet wet wet … Last year’s fl oods in Subiaco shocked locals.

Good Sammy on Rokeby Road suff ered fl ood damage after the

July 9 storm.

A new shared headquarters for State conservation groups could be built at Bold Park.

Birdlife WA and the WA Naturalists’ Club have been pushing for a purpose-built facility to replace the cramped and ageing Peregrine House, which was built in 2000 as temporary accommodation for Bold Park workers.

This week, Environment Minister Reece Whitby launched a fi ve-year manage-ment plan for Bold Park that could see a new facility built next to the WA Ecology Centre in Perry Lakes Drive.

“The board have ambitions of expanding its role, of becom-ing a true environmental com-munity hub,” Mr Whitby said.

“I think it’s a wonderful idea.”Botanic Gardens and Parks

Authority executive director Alan Barrett said the ecology centre was underused and disconnected from buildings that house Birdlife WA and the WA Wildfl ower Society.

“I think the most exciting part is what this precinct could be,” he said.

“We’re not committed to another building but that is a logical conclusion.”

Birdlife WA deputy convener Viv Read envisioned a “commu-nity village” that could house many conservation groups.

“It would be an entry state-ment into the park … inviting people in,” he said.

“We’re in discussions with Lotterywest [for funding] and they’re encouraging.”

The management plan also opens the door to mountain bikes in some parts of Bold Park, such as the former Skyline Drive-In Cinema site.

Cycling groups have long pushed

for access to Bold Park, but the BGPA has resisted the move over environmental concerns.

Mr Barrett said it was almost impossible to stop mountain bike riders from riding illegally in Bold Park.

“We do need to fi nd a way to respond,” he said.

Green boost for Bold Park

Rampage started after run-in with busA southern suburb man has

been charged with criminal damage and burglary after an alleged rampage in Claremont and Cottesloe.

Senior Sergeant Peter Gilmour said a 32-year-old man ran across Stirling Highway in Claremont, near Eric Street, this month.

“He stood in front of a bus, which had to brake heavily,” Sergeant Gilmour said.

“He pounded the doors with his fi sts, but the female driver refused to let him on board.”

It’s alleged the man broke off

the driver’s side windscreen wiper and smashed some of the bus windows.

“We will allege he tore off the other wiper and smashed sev-eral other windows,” Sergeant Gilmour said.

The man is also accused of kicking in a door at a home in Claremont’s Prospect Street before stealing beer, a laptop, and a knife from the kitchen.

The man, from Lake Coogee, is also accused of vandalism at the Eric Street Scout Hall.

He was released on bail and is next due in court on July 29.

Environment Minister Reece Whitby, right, visited Bold Park on Thursday with the Wildfl ower Society’s Kerry Smith and Birdlife WA’s Viv Read.

Icarus uprooted

Full stop to Subiaco’s four-year stormA turbulent chapter in

Subiaco council’s recent his-tory has been quietly closed without fuss or fanfare.

Last month councillors went behind closed doors to discuss legal advice regarding the au-thorised inquiry into the City of Subiaco by the Department of Local Government (DLG).

The DLG investigation was launched two years ago when Penny Taylor was mayor and Rochelle Lavery was CEO (Whistle blowers feed Subi probe,POST, May 16, 2020).

It looked at the employment and management of staff, inap-propriate workplace behaviour and the systems for dealing with that behaviour, as well as sys-tems for reporting misconduct to the appropriate authorities.

It also looked at workplace culture and declarations of interest by elected members and administration staff.

At the council’s June 28 meet-ing, councillors emerged back into public session after about 40 minutes.

“Council has resolved to endorse the completion of the independent governance review

as agreed with DLG,” mayor David McMullen said.

“[Council] further resolve(s) the CEO is to provide a copy of this report and supporting documentation … to the direc-tor general of DLG.”

The inquiry report was tabled in Parliament in May 2021, but had to be updated because of factual errors and mistakes and resubmitted in April of this year.

While it contained some mis-takes, the 40-page inquiry report catalogued a litany of incidents and issues at Subiaco, most of which were already reported by the POST.

The inquiry found the entire CEO performance review panel resigned en-masse at the end of March 2020 and that from April of that year “the relationship be-tween council and CEO Lavery soured further, with council voting to enter arrangements to

dissolve [her] contract as CEO”. Ms Lavery made a written

complaint to the council in mid-April about its performance review process and she resigned in August 2020.

In March 2020 she ordered a stop on the swipe card used by the mayor to get into the coun-cil offi ces (Lavery locked Taylor out of staff meetings, POST, May 15, 2021).

Ms Lavery emailed the mayor and had “words” with her to ask her to stop coming into the offi ce and staff areas of the council building.

A 3m-high aluminium sculpture that graces Cottesloe’s beachfront is being repaired.

Icarus 4, which sits on Marine Parade at the end of Grant Street, was climbed on and dam-aged, according to the council.

“At this time we do not have the cost of repairs, or a date on when it will be back,” a council spokeswoman said.

She said the sculpture, by George Andric, was removed last week.

The artwork was donated to Cottesloe about six years ago by a local family to commemorate the death of their daughter.

The donors had bought it at Sculpture by the Sea in 2004.

A council report at the time of the donation said Icarus 4 was valued at $34,000.

In 2017 the sculpture was strengthened after it was donated.

That year councillors were told it cost $3365.22 in staff hours and material resources to install it near the end of Grant Street, and $1529.34 to relocate another sculpture.

A risk assessment report commissioned by the council, which included an engineer’s certifi cation, cost $3230 (Free Icarus costs $8000, POST, May 27, 2017).

Two-and-a-half million dollars has been set aside in Subiaco’s budget to upgrade its playgrounds.

This year’s budget, which will be voted on this Tuesday, July 26, includes cash to up-date play equipment using a new system.

Previously, playgrounds were replaced bit by bit, with equip-

ment in the worst condition being replaced fi rst.

“This method of renewal has left a legacy of parks and open spaces with an undesirable mix of old and new assets,” a report to council said.

Subiaco staff want to plan upgrades or maintenance to the whole playground at once.

The cash will also cover a renewal of pipework at Daglish Park.

By BONNIE CHRISTIAN

The City of Subiaco is seeking input regarding the replacement of playground equipment at Rankin Reserve and Lake Jualbup.

Cott workers check phones

Cottesloe workers checked their phone reception last Friday morning when they saw people near the top of the Ocean Beach Hotel.

The workers were worried telco transmitters were being removed earlier than expected.

A Telstra spokesman said it wasn’t their workers, and an OBH staff did not reply to a query about the activity.

Cottesloe’s phone users are less than two months away from having no mobile phone coverage once the Telstra and Optus transmitters on the OBH are switched off

Telstra can force Cottesloe council to allow it to place a temporary phone tower anywhere it wants, councillors heard last month (Why Telstra can force its tower, POST, July 2).

The telco giant prefers a site

near the corner of Napier Street and Marine Parade.

The council prefers the John Black Dune Park between the carpark and the tennis club.

This week a council spokes-woman said: “Telstra is current-ly in the process of identifying a location within John Black Dune park that has access to power while minimising any impact on nearby residents.”

By DAVID COHEN

Men at work … But it wasn’t clear what they were doing at the

Ocean Beach Hotel last Friday.

Working for a better MosmanThe Mosman Park Residents

and Ratepayers Association has recently re-formed after a COVID-generated hibernation.

Treasurer Mike Ansell said the committee hoped to help residents and ratepayers not only in maintaining the Mosman Park they all love but also in seeking to steer new developments towards mak-ing it an even more desirable

place to live. The association meets month-

ly (usually on the third Monday of the month) in the Mosman Park Tennis Club, 80 McCabe Street, next to the Russell Brown Adventure Park, at 7pm.

Annual membership costs $10, which can be paid at the door.

New car nickedA Nedlands man had

his new Toyota Prado for less than 24 hours before it was stolen.

The intruders also stole a Toyota LandCruiser belonging to his mother.

Burglars entered the Cooper Street home after midnight last Friday through an unlocked back door.

They found the keys in the living room.

The mother is overseas and had left her white LandCrusier at her son’s home.

His silver Prado was seen in Thornlie, and could be linked to rob-bery and fraud offences in Beeliar.

Targets … Scooters, like this Fonzarelli machine, have been stolen from

homes and carparks.

Scooter thieves

scootA hospital security

guard stopped a youth trying to hotwire a scooter late last week in Nedlands.

A group of youths were around a 50cc Sym Scoota on Hospital Avenue when they were challenged by the guard.

They ran away after try-ing to force the scooter’s ignition barrier.

A green 100cc Fonzarelli scooter was stolen from a carpark on Subiaco’s Bagot Road last Friday.

Police said they were told the machine had been locked and in a scooter bay.

Last Thursday a black QJ motorcycle was taken from a Crawley carpark.

The machine was later found abandoned in Gosnells.

Wembley police are also investigating the theft of a white BMW R12 motor-cycle from North Perth’s Pennant Road.

The machine has been repeatedly seen being driven recklessly in Greenfi elds and Coodanup with two people on board.

The motorcycle was parked by a veranda be-hind locked gates.

Also in North Perth, a Piaggio Beverley scooter owner left the keys in his ride when he went shop-ping on Fitzgerald Street last Saturday.

Also on his keychain were his house keys, a red offi ce key, a black USB, and a remote control for a gate.

A Claremont man breached a police order by being in his own property, a Perth court heard last week.

Nicholas Leslie Woolf pleaded guilty to the breach last Wednesday.

M a g i s t r a t e P e t e r Malone heard the un-specifi ed order prohibited Mr Woolf from going to a Gugeri Street fl at.

Police found Mr Woolf at the fl at at 3.10am last Tuesday.

“It’s where I live: this is my house,” Mr Woolf told the court.

He said he assumed his ex-partner told police he was at the fl at.

“She’s an on-off girl-friend: she’s very much off now,” he said.

Mr Malone granted Mr Woolf a spent conviction.

“It was pretty naive what you did,” Mr Malone told him.

Man charged in own flat

Speeding costs

$200A woman was fi ned $200

for driving too fast near the Old Swan Brewery.

Tarryn Anne Rossiter was charged with exceed-ing the speed limit on Mounts Bay Road between 10 and 19kph on the morn-ing of October 19 last year.

Last Wednesday mag-istrate Richard Huston heard Ms Rossiter was driving at 79km/h in a 60km/h zone.

After initially pleading not guilty, Ms Rossiter changed her plea.

The scheduled trial was vacated.

“I’m only imposing the modified penalty, par-ticularly given there’s no record,” Mr Huston said.Theft probed

Wembley pol ice want to speak with a bearded man who was in Daglish earlier this month.

Officers are inves-tigating a theft on Cunningham Terrace in the early hours of Wednesday July 6.

The man wore a cap with sunglasses perched on the top.

Credit card

fraudSeven frauds happened

after a credit card was stolen from a car earlier this month.

Wembley police think a man captured on CCTV in a Floreat bottle shop on Sunday July 10 may have information that can help their investigation.

The man was wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers cap and a scarf wrapped around part of his face.

Quote reference number 100722 1816 62321.

Police are interested in in-terviewing this man.

BEATwith DAVID COHEN

This person may have infor-mation that can help police.

Police want to speak with a short-haired man about an assault in Claremont.

The violence happened last weekend on Osborne Parade at 4pm.

The man had fair skin and wore a dark short-sleeved T-shirt.

He was carrying a la-crosse stick at the time, and had his face partly obscured by a mask.

Can this man help with po-lice inquiries?

Masked man in

assault

Police believe this man may be able to help with

inquiries.

Cops target

Baird thiefPolice are investigat-

ing suspicious activity in Nedlands over a 12-month period.

Offi cers said the same person was being targeted.

The investigation is focused on Baird Avenue.

Offi cers want to speak with a stout fair-skinned person, who has been seen wearing a big coat and a scarf.

Cott desperate to meet Mark

• From page 1

The Cottesloe project, which was approved by councillors last year, would see the end of the big beachfront No.1 Carpark.

Earlier this year Cottesloe was promised $7million in Federal funding for the project if the Coalition government was re-elected in May ($7m election bait for Cott, POST, April 30).

At the time then-Curtin MP Celia Hammond said Cottesloe was on postcards and in tour-ism ads and hosted Sculpture by the Sea, “but it has suffered from not having expenditure in more than four decades”.

Councillors were told this week that part of the foreshore renovation would start after getting a $300,000 Main Roads grant.

The money would cover Marine Parade between Eric and Pearse streets and be topped up by $200,000 from the council and a $70,000 Roads to Recovery grant.

Councillors were told the money would be mainly spent on resurfacing.

“[We will] try to build the Marine Parade version of what has been approved by council in the masterplan,” engineering manager Shaun Kan said.

He said the money had to be spent by the end of the 2022/23 fi nancial year.

Councillor Paul McFarlane was worried about the cost of underground works in the section of road to be resurfaced.

Mosman push to move highwayover the outcome of panels such as JDAP and the SDAU etc”

Ross Jutras-Minett, the council’s chief of planning and development, said it was just a stronger platform.

“It will provide a greater level of certainty, however it won’t stop a JDAP or an SDAU approving a design that may sit outside primary controls and that is the case across the metropolitan area,” he said.

High-level discussions were being held with the State Government about moving the highway closer to the rail-way to make the area more sympathetic to the town centre area and enable retention of the row of heritage shops, staff told the meeting.

An engineering review, would, if technically feasible, allow a wider footpath and car parking outside the strip of heritage shops opposite the station.

A pedestrian barrier should be placed outside the popular bar in that strip, Rodney’s Bait and Tackle, which should also be encouraged to establish a beer garden at the back, the meeting was told.

A precinct plan was fi rst considered in 2017, before the present high-rise,

when locals who were surveyed said they appreciated the scale of the ex-isting traditional elements that lend character to the town centre.

“The appeal was that it was a village in that it was large enough to have good things but not so large that the good things were overwhelmed by the size and busyness of the place,” the report said.

But the western side near Stirling Highway was per-ceived as disjointed, unap-pealing and unsafe, this week’s meeting was told.

The town centre area stretches from Laing Lane, including the Coles shopping

centre, to the Shell service station on Stirling Highway.

It would be divided into fi ve pre-cincts, which had distinct diversity in architecture and landscaping that needed to be celebrated and ex-panded.

The precinct needed more parks and planting, decorative lighting, street art and encouragement of walking and cycling, staff said.

Planning staff noted that to reach town centre potential, a structure plan would explore opportunities for lot amalgamations and subdivisions, likely to become more common in the western suburbs as land values increase and market desire for resi-dential commercial retail development continues.

“More proponents are seeking dis-cretion in an attempt to maximise development potential in exchange for delivery of tangible community benefi t,” the planners said.

• From page 1

Highway facade,” Mr Grounds wrote.“The second level … is unnecessary

and disrespectful to the proportion of what should be a heritage building.”

Cox Architects design director Steve Woodland said the design had been prepared in close consultation with heritage consultants.

“We’re confi dent that the way we are proposing to readapt the important heritage elements of the site means the cultural signifi cance of the Ford factory will never be lost,” he said.

“We want to reduce reliance on the car and instead provide North Fremantle with a new community hub with everything from the daily shop to new bars and restaurants.”

Public submissions on the plans closed this week.

Fremantle council staff will prepare a report for a development assessment panel.

Mr McQueen said the council was unlawfully trying to stop the devel-opers “at the door” without properly analysing the new plans.

“The city’s position is fundamentally wrong,” he said.

The DAP failed to reach a verdict on the question, even after a 40-minute secret briefi ng with State Government lawyers.

In a rare move, State-appointed chair-woman Francesca Lefante voted with Nedlands councillors Fergus Bennett and Kerry Smyth to put off a decision for up to 60 days.

“It’s been a complex matter for us to get our heads around,” she said.

Missing from the council’s report to the DAP was any professional analysis

of the traffi c, parking, and rubbish implications of the supersized devel-opment.

Nedlands planner Roy Winslow said the developer had provided expert consultants’ reports but they were not included in the report to the DAP.

“What we’re asking the panel today is simply to identify the form of appli-cation which is appropriate,” he said.

Government DAP appointee John Syme criticised the omission.

“Do you not think it would have been useful to make our decision … at the very least having the applicant’s plan-ning report?” he asked.

“I think it’s a bit unsatisfactory that we don’t, personally.”

Councillor Fergus Bennett said the panel needed more time to allow panel members to review the documents.

“It will allow us to make an informed decision,” he said.

The developer behind the Matilda Bay Brewery project is promising a “commu-nity hub” with bars, shops, and restau-

rants.

A prominent architect says Three Oceans’ plan to build a restaurant on top of the former Ford fac-tory in North Fremantle is “disrespectful” to the

heritage-listed building.

Highway hi-rise explodes

North Freo goes dense

‘Slip under the radar’

Highway traffic piles up in front of Mosman Park’s heritage shops.

“Crossing Grantham Street, particu-larly during school hours, is diffi cult,” he said.

“I’d like to look into whether we need traffi c lights or some other measure.”

He also wanted to install a fence in Grantham Park to stop dogs from run-ning into the carpark.

The election will be held on August 27, with polling places at Holyrood Pavilion and the Wembley Community Centre.

Unlike previous elections, postal bal-lots will not automatically be sent to residents due to mayor Keri Shannon’s concerns about electoral fraud.

Residents can apply to the council for a postal vote until 4pm on August 23.

Fewer than 40 applications had been received as of Wednesday, according to a council spokesperson.

So far there have been 5352 book-ing in Mosman Park. Bookings are made online.

An automated messaging service is used to remind people of their collection day, and to direct them to ways they can dispose of items that can be re-used.

People using the service were

surveyed through SMS, with 754 responding, 75% of them in favour of the service.

The traditional collection service cost the council $220,000 in 2019, and $160,000 in 2021-22.

Mosman Park council will con-sider next week whether to re-sign from August 1, possibly for three more years.

Three-year-old William couldn’t believe his luck when City of Nedlands contractors started laying witches hats and detour signs outside his nanna’s house in Mt Claremont.

In no time, he’d donned his work shirt, grabbed his fold-up chair and Nanna Penny’s hand and they were off to take a closer look at the roadworks on the corner of Alfred and Rochdale roads.

The council has completed the resurfacing of the busy intersec-tion, including new kerbing and footpaths, in record time using a revolutionary recycled road rehabilitation technique called Foamed Bitumen Stabilisation (FBS).

Coordinator of City projects Neil Brown said FBS allowed the re-use of existing road bitu-men materials to create a strong base for the new asphalt surface.

“This process is cost effective and less disruptive as the sur-face is immediately usable with signifi cantly reduced environ-mental impact,” Mr Brown said.

“Once completed the new road surfaces last longer and require less maintenance than traditional road surfaces.”

He said the FBS process had streamlined what was a time-

consuming, messy job, allowing the works to be completed ahead of schedule, with no safety inci-dents, and minimal interruption to traffi c fl ow.

“We’ve also managed to im-press one keen young engineer in the making,” Mr Brown said.

The winners of the Emerge Youth Art Awards 2022 will be announced this Saturday.

Entries in the City of Nedlands’ annual youth art awards have been under the judges’ con-sideration this week, with the winning entrants to be revealed at a presentation at Tresillian Arts Centre from 2 to 6pm on Saturday.

The Emerge Youth Art Awards 2022 was open to all artists aged

From Monday, July 25 to August 19, all works will be ex-hibited at Tresillian Arts Centre.

Those who view the exhibi-tion are welcome to take part in voting for the People’s Choice Award, valued at $500.

This year’s judging panel con-sisted of renowned WA artists Denise Pepper, Bernard Taylor and Jacqui Hills, who had their work cut out for them in choos-ing winners from a plethora of

outstanding works by young Western Australian artists.

A prize pool of $2250 was available for category prize win-ners, including the categories of Open Award ($500 fi rst prize, $250 commendation), Residents’ Award ($500 fi rst prize, $250 commendation) and Under 18 Award (fi rst prize $250).

Exhibition curator Judy Rogers said the number of en-tries was overwhelming with many pieces being extraordi-narily accomplished for such young artists.

Perth Modern School is bringing a stage production of Legally Blonde to the new Cyril Tyler Auditorium in Subiaco.

The production is suitable for the whole family and promises to be a laugh-out-loud spectacu-lar of singing, dancing and lots and lots of pink.

Accomplished singer and actress Perri Hinton, 17, is playing the lead character Elle Woods and is being supported by a talented ensemble cast of Perth Modern School students.

The musical score is also being performed by students.

Legally Blonde is based on the hit 2001 movie of the same name starring Reese Witherspoon.

The storyline centres on the young Elle, who has it all.

She wants nothing more than to be Mrs Warner Huntington III. But there is one thing stop-ping Warner from proposing:

She is too blonde. Elle rallies all her resources

and gets into Harvard, deter-mined to win him back.

What follows is a humorous tale as Elle blunders through law school, shaking up the re-vered Harvard and realising she is much more than just a blonde.

Principal Mitchell Mackay said the production was shap-ing up to be another amazing Perth Modern School produc-tion.

“The acting and singing I have seen so far in rehearsals is incredible and the venue is also fi rst class,” he said.

“The school would love to see members of the community at the show, to join in the fun and creativity of our students and staff’s hard work over many months.”

The production will run from August 3 to 6 and tickets are available to the public at www.trybooking.com/CAQKL.

The concert is at the Wembley Downs Scout Hall, 7 Dover Crescent, Wembley Downs, starting at 2.30pm.

The cost is $12 for adults and chil-dren are admitted free of charge.

Jackadder’s Music Club is part of the West Australian Folk Music Club.

Volunteers build up the soil at the Community Food Forest in City Beach and, inset, pumpkins are among the thriving produce.

The Community Food Forest in City Beach has secured $3000 funding from Floreat Lions Club to help with the planting of fruit and nut trees in the rainy months.

The Lions Club of Australia is celebrating 75 years this year and as a lead-up to the anniversary its Always campaign is support-ing a Commemorative Garden Project to plant 75 gardens across Australia before September.

The Community Food Forest, at the northern end of Fred Burton Drive, successfully ap-

plied to Floreat Lions to be in-cluded as one of the 75 gardens.

Recently Forest volunteers have planted more than 160 bush tucker plants and the vegetables are thriving.

The 900sq.m project has broad beans, daikon radish, peas, herbs, pumpkins, rhubarb and much more growing profusely in the Food Forest.

Volunteers have been build-ing up the soil in readiness for spring.

The local IGA has contributed food scraps and the sandy soil is

also being enriched with horse manure, lawn mower clippings and mulch.

A plaque will be installed to thank Floreat Lions Club for the donation.

Working bees are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8.30 to 10.30am but volunteers pop over most days to dig and weed and just enjoy the fresh air.

Christ Church Grammar School is coming on board this term and some students will visit the Forest on Fridays to do community hours.

Lions help Food Forest flourish

Thomas Wilson describes the organ as the “king of instru-ments”.

The acclaimed organist and director of music at St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney is coming to Perth next month to present the prestigious annual Sir Francis Burt Memorial Concert.

He said: “The organ marries mechanics and music in a truly wondrous machine.

“Many people only hear it played at weddings or funerals.

“The majestic sounds deserve to be heard, especially as so much of the greatest music ever composed belongs in the organ-ist’s repertoire.”

At the age of 18, Thomas became director of music at Wellington Metropolitan Cathedral.

After studying and working in London, he became assistant or-ganist at Westminster Cathedral, before returning to Australia and his post at St Mary’s.

Organist and St George’s Cathedral musical director Dr Joseph Nolan welcomed Thomas, saying: “He is a very fi ne musician, and the pieces he has chosen to play will create a large landscape of a concert.”

The program features Louis Vierne’s Third Symphony which

Thomas described as “a musical feast of textures, colours and forms”; the “singing melodies and fi zzing fi reworks” of Edward C Bairstow’s Sonata, and pieces by Frank Martin and Henri Mulet.

Thomas said: “I am eagerly an-ticipating the pleasure of being back at St George’s Cathedral, knowing what a joy it is to make music there.”

The Sir Francis Burt Memorial Concert is on Thursday August 11, from 7.30pm at St George’s Cathedral.

UWA student Maddi Broad spent three months support-ing government cyber secu-rity professionals at the WA Department of Premier and Cabinet through an “invalu-able” internship experience with UWA’s McCusker Centre for Citizenship.

Maddi, who is studying politi-cal science and international relations on a law pathway, contributed towards the devel-opment of intellectual property policy for the Offi ce of Digital Government (DGov), a team that leads, supports and coordinates the digital transformation of the WA public sector.

The policy project was in DGov’s Cyber Security Unit, which works to protect the WA Government’s information, as-sets and service delivery from cyber threats.

“My entire internship expe-rience was rewarding,” said Maddi, who worked in a small team of interns alongside staff from the Cyber Security Unit, doing in-depth research and producing two complete policy documents by the end of her internship.

“It was incredibly satisfying to see all our hard work come to life as a tangible document, and the feeling among the team at this time was additionally rewarding,” Maddi said.

“It was great to meet so many

driven and hard-working em-ployees of the public sector, and it also opened my eyes to how much work goes into gov-ernment behind the scenes.”

Working alongside interns who were further into their legal studies, and being new to policy writing, Maddi had some initial nerves but quickly rose to the challenge and found her feet with the “incredible sup-port” from the Cyber Security Unit team and her peers.

DPC WA director of cyber security and internship super-visor Roberto Musotto said: “Maddi was absolutely excep-tional during her internship.

“Her research and inquisitive mind brought alight the work of the policy even while starting in an unfamiliar fi eld such as cyber security.”

Maddi said: “This internship experience has allowed me to make meaningful connections with some fantastic people within the Office of Digital Government, but also with fellow McCusker Centre for Citizenship students.

“This experience will be invaluable in helping my pro-fessional life, without a doubt.

“This experience has enabled me to see how it is possible to be an active citizen on an institutional level.”

She would “absolutely” rec-ommend the internship to other UWA students.

“Not only did I have an amazing experience, which has been one of the highlights

of my degree, but every other intern I spoke to was similarly enjoying their internship,” she said.

“I think the range of dif-ferent opportunities makes a McCusker Centre for Citizenship internship a valu-able experience to a student in any degree.”

A wristband expected to play a major role in using artifi cial intelligence (AI) for early detection of diseases recently received a Future Health Research and Innovation Fund Innovation Seed Fund grant of $383,250.

It measures all vital signs (blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, oxygen saturation and respiratory rate) and pro-vides activity monitoring, falls detection, sleep quality reports, GPS and geofencing.

It was developed by Nedlands Professor Yogi Kanagasingam, who is a co-founder of Medivitals, a WA-based digital health weara-bles and AI company now based at the University of WA.

Professor Kanagasingam and co-founder Professor Warren Harding believe the grant will enable them to bring it to mar-ket faster and create local jobs.

“The technology will bring enormous economic benefi ts to WA health services, and the company is exploring advanced manufacturing and creating jobs in data analytics, because this innovation can serve national and international demands in Indo-Asia, North America and Europe,” Professor Kanagasingam said.

“It will enable early detection of diseases and prevent disease complications.

“It is an ideal technology for supporting hospital ED/triage departments, monitoring in general wards and telehealth consultations for delivering care in the home and community.”

High hopes for hi-tech wristband

Maddi Broad worked with other interns in the Department of Premier and Cabinet.

International Day of Friendship on Saturday July 30 will have special meaning for Christine Sladden and Di Banfi eld, who met as a result of their husbands transition-ing into aged care home Regis Nedlands after being diagnosed with dementia.

As a result of visiting their husbands every day, the pair formed a friend-ship and realised there was a need for a support group to help many other

people who had made the often-diffi cult decision to transition their loved ones into aged care.

“As we were leaving the home, Di and I would often talk in the carpark about how we were feeling and the grief that we were ex-periencing as a result of our husbands living with dementia and the fact that we were effectively losing them to the disease,” said Christine, who retired as a registered nurse in 2017 after working for 18 years at Hollywood Private

Hospital.“Then we’d fi nd that more

and more relatives of peo-ple at the home would join us to chat, so much so that we became like a family and decided to set up a more formal friendship group that would meet regularly to support each other.”

Di said that from the very beginning management at Regis Nedlands were in-credibly supportive of the group, offering a meeting room and afternoon tea to those involved.

She said even though her husband Ross died last year she would stay fi rm friends with the others in the group.

“The group was such a great support,” Di said.

“We could talk about the very specifi c things that you face when your partner is living with dementia and sometimes we could even laugh at what we were experiencing; certainly being able to chat was such a release.”

Friendships formed for support

Findings of a new Parkinson’s disease study have opened an exciting avenue for developing therapeutics to intervene in the progression of this common movement disorder.

The feature article in the journal Experimental Biology and Medicine contributes to understanding the genetic processes underlying nerve cell degeneration in people with Parkinson’s.

The study, led by Professor Sulev Koks at the Nedlands-based Perron Institute for Neurological and Translational Science and Murdoch University, reports that alterations in the nascent transcription of introns (pertaining to DNA sequencing) may be indicators of risk and progression of Parkinson’s.

“Better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the degeneration of nerve cells can help in developing targeted therapies for people with Parkinson’s,” Professor Koks said.

“For many years the search for DNA risk factors for specifi c diseases such as Parkinson’s

has focused on exons, the 2% of our genome that encode the information for proteins.

“The bulk of the DNA risk resides in the other 98% of the genome that determines where, when and for how long exons are produced to generate these proteins.

“Similarly, previous research has focused on the measure-ment of exons in specifi c cells, ignoring the bulk of non-exon material that can affect their function.”

In this study, Professor Koks, Dr Abigail Pfaff (Perron Institute and Murdoch University) and University of Liverpool’s Dr Vivien Bubb and John Quinn analysed introns and investi-gated changes correlating with Parkinson’s disease progression.

The study showed the im-portance of introns in regulat-ing cell function and causing changes.

“Our study highlights the im-portance of introns as potential modulators that regulate cell function by manipulating how exons are used in the cell,” Professor Koks said.

A recital by Geoffrey Lancaster on July 31 will cele-brate the restoration of an 1824 Broadwood and Sons grand piano at the WA Academy of Performing Arts.

The instrument was once owned by Andrew Ashe, the fl autist in the London pre-mieres of Haydn’s symphonies 94 and 97-101 directed from

the keyboard by the composer.After more than a year of

expert restoration by the piano maker and master restorer Chris Maene in Ruiselede, Belgium, this wonderful piano returns to the stage.

It is a fi rst for Perth and Australia.

This recital, at the Richard Gill Auditorium at WAAPA,

will include works by Clementi, Haydn – his two monumental English sonatas in C and E-fl at major – Dussek and Chopin.

The performance is at 3pm on Sunday July 31.

Buy tickets online at waapa.ecu.edu.au or at the WAAPA box offi ce.

Tickets are $32 full, $27 con-cession and $25 for Friends.

Geoff rey Lancaster with a Stein fortepiano (1788).

A lecture at the R o y a l We s t e r n Australian Historical Society will examine in depth a single work by the WA art-ist Thomas Turner (1813-1895).

In his talk about Augusta Hardy’s Inlet, First Settlement, May 1830, Dr Richard Read will compare Turner’s work to other Australian painters of the same period and other artists of the European picturesque tradition, together with its continuing imaginative life in an art gallery.

The presentation, on Wednesday August 10, will explore primary documents concerning the Turner family’s settlement in Augusta from the 1830s, ret-rospective commen-tary supplied by Turner’s later works and broader research into the ecology of the area, the colonial use of picturesque art conventions and the impact of occupation on the Wardandi and

Bibbulmun tribes. Turner’s paintings

include the Turners’ Albion House and the homes of the Bussell and Molloy families.

His Vasse sketches include the Bussell’s Cattle Chosen.

The event is an auxiliary morning tea fundraiser.

Once again, due to what can only be described as inclement weather and 25ml of heavy rain, no bowls were possible on Thursday last week.

Saturday was a different matter and, while overcast, there was no precipitation and 32 bowlers turned out to do battle on a somewhat slow B green.

The selectors obviously did a good job, because results were fairly close.

In first place, with a margin of six shots, was David Broadfoot and his team of Rick Mapley, Sue Harris and Peter Wiesner.

In second place, with a margin of four shots, was the team of Tony Quinlan, Wendy Ireland, John Gadsdon and Ken Brooke.

Next, and in third place, were Gordon Wilson, Chris Scovell, Alan Davison and Andy McGlew, their margin three shots.

Last week was a full week of bowls again with everyone taking advan-tage of the lovely winter weather.

Wednesday triples had a good roll-up and the win-ners were John Solomon, Ruth Lilly and John Pallet.

Runners-up were Marie Hagan, Larry Eastman and

Last Saturday the club’s annual general meeting was held.

Thursday last week was fining up, though there were puddles on the rink, and Saturday was fi ne and on rink 2 John Hall and Rob Campbell proved too consistent for Ron Middleton and Glen Morey winning 18-12.

On rink 3 Max Hipkins and Kim Jefferis out-played their opponents in Bill Gerlach and John Horsfall 16-11.

On rink 4 Bill Chellew and Jannette Middleton out-gunned Chris Osborn and Peter Hiatt 16-10.

While actor and artist Meyne Wyatt was in Perth with his play, City of Gold, he reconnected with his old school, Hale.

This year Hale celebrates its 30th year of Fine Art@Hale and in recognition the committee is donating its latest acquisition to the school – Meyne’s self-portrait.

While Meyne’s focus since leaving school has been on his acting career, his mother Susan Wyatt, an artist herself, had encouraged him to enter his “COVID project” painting into the Archibald.

His 2020 Archibald entry won the Packing Room Prize and this year Meyne offered to sell it to the school.

Fine Art@Hale committee chair Andrine Terry said: “This is why

the committee is here, so we can use the money we raise through the annual exhibition to reinvest in funding art scholarships, artists in residence and artworks for the school collection.”

She said they paid a fi ve-fi gure sum for the portrait which will feature in the anniversary exhibition and will then fi nd a permanent home in the school’s new performing arts centre.

Andrine said Meyne would be an artist in residence next year: “We couldn’t be more honoured to reconnect with Meyne and bring his incredible artwork to Hale.”

More than 90 artists are featured in this year’s Fine Art@Hale exhibition, which will be held in the school’s administration building, due to

refurbishments on the hall.Throughout the admin

building there are paintings, drawings, mixed media, jewellery, glass art, and sculptures by some of WA’s

most infl uential artists including Andy Quilty, Jules Sher, Felicity Peters, Wade Taylor, Vania Lawson and Hale Old Boy Leon Pericles, who has exhibited

in every Hale exhibition over the last 30 years.■ Fine Art@Hale exhibition opens this Friday, July 22, with celebrations for 30

years of volunteers, and continues across the weekend, July 23 and 24, from 10am to 4pm, with entry by gold coin donation.

Just over 20 years ago, playwright and screenwriter Reg Cribb returned home to Perth to mourn the death of his brother.

He boarded a train to Fremantle and in his dark and private head space of loss, Reg resented all the people around him who just seemed to be getting on with life.

Then a brash, loud, scary-looking bloke got on the train, and focused his attention on a young female law student sitting alone.

“Suddenly the train carriage was his personal performance space,” Reg recalled.

“He talked to the girl, but loudly so we could all hear. It was clear that he was intelligent, but he was threatening and forcing this girl to engage with him.”

Reg said he suddenly woke up from his personal crisis and began writing.

The play he wrote based on this experience was called The Return and contained much of the dialogue he remembered from that trip.

It won the Patrick White Playwrights’ Award 2001,

and was shortlisted for the Queensland Premier’s Literary Award.

Five years later, Reg adapted it to fi lm, retitling it Last Train to Freo.

Set in the claustrophobic, sealed tin-can of a Perth train compartment, two rough and wayward misfi ts take advantage of a guards’ strike to terrorise a young woman on the last train to Fremantle.

After two others – an older woman and a silent man – board the train, it becomes apparent that no

one is who they appear to be and emotions twist together, unravelling as the occupants speed towards their destination.

The short, fast-paced, richly layered drama tackles the socially disenfranchised, brotherhood, revenge and social vulnerabilities.

Fremantle Theatre Company is re-staging the play, which takes on the fi lm’s title, Last Train to Freo, with Reg taking the driver’s seat as director for its 20th anniversary

revival.Reg said the play required

only a few updates.“Sadly,” he said, “ the

themes are still very relevant.

“In our post-COVID world, the socio-economic gap is widening and there is still so much isolation and unhappiness.”

Directing his own work is a new experience for Reg.

“When you write something it is based on how you think and feel right then and there – and then you can hand that emotional baggage over,” he said.

Handing over the original play script and fi lm script to his close friend, director Jeremy Sims, had been easy.

But he said he’d seen some terrible versions of the play over the years: “Watching someone destroy your work on stage is a bit like watching your babysitter overturn all your rules and ruin your child!”

Directing his updated version of Last Train to Freo, Reg said he wanted to bring something new and fresh to the play and plans to have live musicians on stage to create an emotional soundtrack to the unfolding events.

He is also bringing actor Steve Le Marquand, who appeared in the Sydney stage play and the fi lm, to come on board as assistant director.

Featuring Michael Abercromby as the main protagonist, with

Kaz Sas, Chloe Hurst, Sandy Eldridge and Josh Vigona, Fremantle Theatre Company presents Last Train to Freo at Victoria Hall in Fremantle from August 3 to 20.

POST, July 23, 2022

I have had an affair with a married woman for four years.

Twelve years ago she married a man she didn’t love and could not stand having sex with. He is immature, overbearing, and obnoxious. Six years ago they stopped having any sex because she would never bring a child into the world like him.

She is the woman I’ve hoped for all my life. We’ve talked divorce to the point where it’s been beaten to death. She shakes, cries and freezes with fear when she tries to tell her husband.

In private counselling she was told to use the abundant strength she has in the business world to confront him. But she cannot.

Her father was an alcoholic and her mother the classic enabler. It seems she replaced her father with a tyrant father-fi gure husband who insults and diminishes her.

Wendy fears she cannot make it on her own fi nancially even though she has a good income, and even though my new business is doing well, I still don’t

represent security.Why is she staying in

this marriage? Andrew

Andrew, it is often said that an alcoholic is an alcoholic from the top of his head to the

tips of his toes. The same is true of the children of alcoholics. Her family shaped how she addresses the world. It’s almost as if her consciousness was poured into a mould and given a shape as rigid as steel.

Why does she stay? Aside from feeling familiar, she has found a way to make her marriage bearable.

You are her coping mechanism.

Having you in her life makes it possible to endure life with her husband. You are what keeps her from hitting bottom, and what keeps her from developing the passion, and the desperation, to change.

She lives life with deeply ingrained habits. Her interior consciousness will fi ght like a wildcat not to change. She won’t change for an external reason. She can only change for her own sake.

She is not ready. She may never be.

Joel Jackson was in Los Angeles a month before he started rehearsals for Tennessee Williams’ play, The Glass Menagerie.

“It is still quite shockingly relevant,” Joel said of a play written in 1944 about a family stuck in a cycle of poverty.

Williams’s semi-autobiographical play, based on his short story A Portrait of a Girl in Glass, is narrated by Tom (played by Joel), a young man desperate for a career as a writer but trapped by his need to support his overbearing and controlling mother Amanda and his cripplingly shy and disabled sister Laura.

A harsh and gritty

memory play, it plays out behind a transparent scrim. As Tom says at the opening of the play: “I give you truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion”.

Fuelled by the burden of duty and resentment, the play explores familial claustrophobia, co-dependency and fears for an unknown future.

For a country that has produced fresh waves of moral outrage for its backward step on abortion and gun laws, Joel said: “Even though there are similar places in Australia that are stuck in cycles of poverty, America, with its huge population, is increasingly oppressive and restricting.”

As Joel explores the poetic and dreamlike world

of Tennessee Williams and his often disturbed or defeated characters, he said he was now realising the playwright’s timeless connections.

“We come to a story because we want to escape and we fall into this period of time, but then come away realising its relevancy,” Joel said.

Growing up in Karratha, Joel loved cinema and music. By the age of 15 he was gigging in pubs with his guitar.

“I didn’t so much cut my teeth but chipped them on microphones in rowdy pubs,” he quipped of his early love of live performance.

It was his mum who persuaded him to audition for drama college.

He went to NIDA in Sydney and quickly went on to win a Best Actor award and a Logie for Outstanding Newcomer for his performance in the television mini-series Peter Allen: Not the Boy Next Door.

Other roles include I Met a Girl (2021) and Detective James Steed in Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries.

He returned to WA for Fremantle Theatre Company’s summer season of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in Kings Park and will be back with FTC later in the year to perform in his own-written play,

Moth.In The Glass Menagerie

he appears with Mandy McElhinney as Amanda, Acacia Daken as Laura and Jake Fryer-Hornsby as Jim, the gentleman caller.

Mini stories pack a punch

After completing her

second novel, Everyday

Madness, Claremont author

Susan Midalia said she was

exhausted.

“I’ve never really been

interested in plot,” Susan

admitted. A masterful

short-story writer, she said

she found plotting novels

diffi cult and challenging.

“I’m always more

interested in language and

characters, so fl ash fi ction

was a way of releasing me

from the concept of plots

and reinvigorated my love

of language.”

Susan has launched her

latest collection of stories,

Miniatures – short short

stories, also called fl ash or

micro fi ction.

It is an eclectic collection

of fi ctionalised narrative

which ranges stylistically

from witty and poignant

stories to interview ideas,

questionnaires and social

commentaries – many

about the pretensions and

insecurities of writers.

“Writing short shorts is

less prescriptive,” Susan

said. “You can sustain a

non-traditional form in

brevity. They are just

audacious and provocative

moments in time.

“But they are also

stylistically challenging:

every word must be the

right one placed in the

right order. It is about

using language precisely,

incisively, inventively.”

Although she claims to

live in a state of perpetual

outrage, Susan described

some of her short stories as

long-form jokes.

“In my next life I want to

be a stand-up comedian,”

she confessed, loving the

economical way a playful

story quickly builds to a

punchline.

Published by new

independent publishers,

Night Parrot Press,

Miniatures is riding

a wave of interest in

fl ash fi ction which will

feature in the Australian

Short Story Festival in

October, when Susan will

be in conversation with

newcomer to fl ash fi ction,

■ The Black Phone (MA15+) ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ½ The Chicago Sun-Times says: “Based on a short story from Joe Hill and directed with tone-perfect style by Scott Derrickson ... The Black Phone is a hauntingly effec-tive, perfectly paced, consistently chilling and wickedly warped horror gem.” The Independent agrees “there’s a thematic weight here that elevates [it] above any of his previous work in the genre, a dark reminder of how often moral panics and bogeymen are conjured up in order to turn a society’s eyes away from the real and inescapable violence happening in people’s own homes.”

■ Falling for Figaro (M) ✪ ✪ ✪ “Expect no surprises in Falling for Figaro, a corny, cute-enough carpe diem comedy, in which it’s a lovable ensemble — led by Danielle Macdonald, and spiked by a deliciously imperious Joanna Lumley — that brings the grace notes to a pretty standard-issue script,” says Variety. The Sydney Morning Herald asserts it “… offers nothing more than a warm glow, great music and a romance that rises effortlessly above the stereotypical”.

■ Margrete – Queen of the North (Margrete Den

Første) (MA15+) ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ½ “Trine Dyrholm elevates this painterly period drama with a masterfully understated performance as Denmark’s Queen Margrete,” says The Guardian. “While the plot is at times overstuffed with palace intrigues, this pierc-ing character study carries a contemporary poignancy, as it encapsulates the diffi cult choices a female leader has to make in a world bounded by patriarchal control.” Variety says it has “just enough historical and political heft to justify the epic scope of the fi lmmaking”. The Scandanavian Film Festival is on until August 7.

Reese Witherspoon’s book club propels female-centred stories into bestsellers and often fi lm adaptations – this time American zoologist, conservationist and debut author Delia Owens’ 2018 page-turner about a reclusive southern girl swept up in a local murder.

Where the Crawdads Sing also features a melancholy, bluegrassy folk ballad which Taylor Swift wrote for the fi lm and plays at the story’s end.

The song’s lingering mystery isn’t quite matched by the fi lm, which is directed by Olivia Newman and adapted by Lucy Alibar, best known for developing her own original play into the wonderful 2012 fi lm Beasts of the Southern Wild – also set in the bayous of America’s south.

The fi lm doesn’t actually feature any crawdads, or crayfi sh as we call them.

But there are a lot of geese, recalling fi lms like classic 2004 romance The Notebook – which is more the southern marshland vibe Newman’s fi lm achieves than the

elemental story of a young girl’s survival that Alibar is known for.

Survival, though, is at the heart of the decades-spanning Where the Crawdads Sing.

Kya (Daisy Edgar-Jones) is the last of her family and has essentially raised herself.

She’s known locally as the “marsh girl”, who lives in a hut in a secluded North Carolina bayou and about whom rumours have swirled since before her alcoholic wife-beater father (Garret Dillahunt) disappeared for good.

Part courtroom whodunit, part love story, the story is framed by the nature-loving young Kya being implicated in the 1969 death of a local cad named Chase (Harris Dickinson).

Only retired local attorney Tom (David Strathairn), the local store owners (Sterling Macer Jr and Michael Hyatt), and her recently returned fi rst love Tate (Taylor John Smith), have faith in her.

But although Edgar-Jones conveys something of Kya’s interior life, she’s

scarcely believable in all her polished op-shop chic as a swamp-dwelling loner, and her two love interests have little to offer in the way of character depth.

Polly Morgan’s cinematography is similarly postcard pretty, lending it a glossy ambience that seems at odds with the material.

In a plot twist that suggests art might imitate life, the story’s author is reportedly wanted for questioning over a 1995 murder in Zambia. Fans of the book, over to you.

Art imitating life

Perfect for seclusion

seekers, Guarrinup

House is on a 44.24ha site

with 360-degree views of

the ocean, Wilson Inlet,

the Nullaki Peninsula,

Denmark, the Porongurups

and the Stirling Ranges.

It’s a world away from

the hustle and bustle of

Perth – but that doesn’t

mean you would be lonely.

“It’s very private and

peaceful here, yet we have

met some wonderful life-

long friends who live on the

Nullaki,” the owners said.

“While we all love our

own peace and quiet, there

is a lovely sense of commu-

nity should you need help

or advice, or a good G&T.

“You can withdraw from,

or tap into, local communi-

ties and events as much as

you wish.

“Denmark and Albany

are so close, and there is

never a shortage of things

to do in the area.”

The couple, whose

children were away at

boarding school and uni-

versity, decided to live

permanently at Nullaki

so they threw the kitchen

sink at the design and build

of their home, which was

completed in late 2019.

They drew on the ex-

pertise and knowledge of

locals, including Swiss-

born designer Hermann

Fehr and builder Andrew

Finigan, both based in

Denmark.

“They had an incredible

knowledge and under-

standing of designing and

building in this part of the

world,” the owners said.

“By Australian stand-

ards the winters down

here are cold, so European

triple-glazed windows and

Scandinavian specifi ca-

tion thermal insulation in

the walls, fl oors and roof

were both non-negotiable

for us.

“Similarly, being on the

coast, all materials had to

be marine specifi cation.”

They built it as a family

home where their children

would return, along with

their friends.

With a tennis court,

beachcombing, whale-

watching, walks on the

Bibbulmun Track, fi shing

and surfi ng, there is plenty

to keep everyone occupied

– or not.

Entertaining was also

a top priority so there is a

big kitchen with a Brazilian

granite island bench,

Vintec fridges and a cellar.

Among the many fea-

tures are a hydroponic

greenhouse, covered

orchard, chicken-run and

an automated system, con-

trolled by phone apps, for

blinds, reticulation and

other parts of the house.

■ “It feels like we are always on holiday,” say the owners, who built Guarrinup House as a permanent residence.

Spectacular beachfront buy

Shirley Primeau, investor, former Cottesloe council candidate and POST correspondent, is selling her trophy home at 38 Marine Parade. The Zorzi-built home straddles three blocks and has 30m of ocean frontage. Agent Suzanne Brown, of Rentwest, has listed the 4x3 with a six-car basement garage as expressions of interest. A search on domain.com.au shows it advertised in the above $9million range. Ms Primeau’s other beachfront property at 208 Marine Parade settled in January for $5.1million. One of the buyers of that home was Real Estate Institute of WA president Damian Collins.

$400m plan for ‘Perth Girls’

Two local developers are behind a $400million project to redevelop the heritage-listed former Perth Girls School. The State Government last month gave the green light to Cottesloe’s Roderick Hamersley

and Mosman Park’s Adam Zorzi, of Australian Development Capital (ADC), to deliver 742 new apartments, including 100 social/affordable dwellings. The East Perth project is expected to have 242 build-to-sell apartments, across two 25-storey towers. The remaining 500 apartments will be build-to-rent, in a 15 to 37-storey development. ADC director Rod Hamersley told the POST he expected the project to be construction-ready by the end of 2023, subject to the necessary commercial requirements. “We expect the heat to come out of workforce and supply-chain pressures over the next 18 months in line with our construction-ready timeline,” Mr Hamersley said.

People love the Concrete House

City Beach’s “Concrete House” has won the People’s Choice Award in this year’s WA Architecture Awards. Designed by Seamus Ryan Architects, the home with off-form concrete walls and details was built for a family of six, with space for visiting grandparents. Mr Ryan

said: “I really enjoy working with concrete as it’s very versatile and can be used in many applications. The opportunities really are limitless as it can be formed, sculpted, cut, textured, patterned, all of which can express various forms. We really pushed the boundaries of concrete.” Natural stone, charred timber, oak batten ceilings and dark tiles contrast with the coolness of the concrete. Among the many features that caught the eye of voters was the ceiling opening above the dining table. “This was introduced as an artistic addition, fl oating within the clean line perimeter of the ceiling,” Mr Ryan said. Another head-turner was the oak bath in the main bedroom’s ensuite. Sustainable design elements include triple-glazed European windows, high level of insulation, heat recovery ventilation, solar storage and geothermal heated fl oors, pool and spa.

Mansion from MovielandA Long Island mansion that featured in the 2013 fi lm The Wolf of Wall Street is on the market for $14.6million. The extravagant French chateau-style home was built by racehorse breeder Ralph Bianculli in 2010, on a 2ha estate. One of its paddocks was the set for a pivotal scene in the fi lm, where Wall Street fraudster Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, discusses a possible plea deal with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The property is fi t for a New York business tycoon, with six bedrooms, a poker room and a grand sweeping staircase among a long list of luxury features. In the listing, selling agent Regina Rogers of Douglas Elliman said the property had been home to more than 100 winning racehorses. In light traffi c – which is never guaranteed in New York – the home is less than a 50-minute drive from Manhattan.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN / INDOOR & OUTDOOR STYLING / VISUAL MERCHANDISING

BOOKINGS STILL AVAIL ABLE FOR 2022!

Luxury builder Riverstone

wanted to showcase its

fi nishes when it built this

two-level home at the top

of the Minim Cove estate

in 2018.

The glamorous house

with extensive river views

was once a display home

for prospective clients –

and it’s easy to see why.

While unashamedly

striking, the home’s design

is an artful balance of

big-budget ambitions and

down-to-earth taste.

Quality materials have

been used to create beauti-

ful spaces on a human scale,

like the top-fl oor main living

area with its timber-lined,

recessed ceiling.

Wide eaves crown the

main structure, while hori-

zontal timber slats draw

the eye to a two-storey

corner window facing the

street.

All of this is bundled

into a practical layout

that maximises views and

usable spaces.

Three minor bedrooms

are spread around the

ground fl oor – one with a

private ensuite, the other

two with a shared bath-

room.

They all surround an

informal living area, where

stained timber panelling

adorns an eye-catching

feature wall.

Bi-fold doors open to

the alfresco area, where a

red brick wall doubles as a

bar-style seating area with

views to the river and East

Fremantle.

A lift and a staircase

connect to the upper fl oor,

which is shared by the spa-

cious main living area and

the main bedroom – both

with big balconies.

The kitchen is warm and

sleek, with American oak

cabinets and trimming.

Miniature white subway

tiles in the splashback

blend with gleaming

white composite stone

benchtops.

Bi-fold doors allow you

to open the space to the

wraparound balcony, which

is the prime viewing spot

for sunsets.

The house is on a

356sq.m corner block.

– BEN DICKINSON

Acton Cottesloe ■ The living area and main bedroom are on the top fl oor to take advantage of sweeping views.

■ A recessed ceiling created an opportunity for an architectural fl ourish in the main living area.

■ A plunge pool sweeps around a prominent corner of the house.

■ The styling of this one-bedroom and one-bathroom unit was a talking point at last week-end’s home open.

■ There is a small balcony at the front from which to enjoy the view of Cliff Sadlier Reserve.

Finishing touch

Starting out in style

With its silver-framed

mirror, trailing plant

and botanical fl ower ar-

rangement, this photo could

be straight out of Pinterest.

But it’s the living area

of an affordable unit

overlooking Cliff Sadlier

Reserve in Daglish.

Whether it’s a $2million

mansion or a $250,000 unit,

styling makes all the dif-

ference when it comes to

marketing properties.

Emily Garden, of the

Property Exchange, said

styling certainly helped

boost the sale price.

“Getting a property

styled usually returns 10

times the cost, whatever

the price range of the unit,”

Ms Garden said.

There are 14 units in the

1980s complex, which has a

50-50 mix of owner-occupiers

and tenants, and last week-

end’s home open for Unit 7

attracted both fi rst-home

buyers and investors.

“It’s the type of prop-

erty I imagine a fi rst-home

buyer would purchase, live

in for fi ve years or so and

then keep as an investment

property,” Ms Garden said.

“Daglish is an incredibly

small suburb made up of

mostly beautiful character

homes and units such as

this one.

“There are currently

only about six properties

on the market, and not

a huge turnover in the

suburb.”

Unit 7 had been a long-

term investment for the

seller, who bought it in 2005

because of its convenient

location and proximity to

the park.

The previous tenant

worked at a local hospital

and cycled to work.

The combined strata

and reserve levy is $535 a

quarter.

■ A glass door connects the kitchen and the well-appointed alfresco area.

Plus-size, plus views, plus luxury

Expansive river views are

just one of the pluses

about this big Peppermint

Grove home.

“You can see from Point

Walter to Perth City,” the

owner said.

The home is just 10

doors from the water, and

the views include bobbing

boats at Royal Freshwater

Bay Yacht Club.

Giorgi finished the

home in late 2017, with no

expense spared in creating

a luxurious family-friendly

space.

The parents retreat

features fl oor to ceiling

windows, automated blinds

and fans, and views to

Blackwall Reach.

Cool Jura Blue limestone

tiles make up the fl ooring

in almost every room.

There’s a 10-seat home

theatre, custom-made desks

and cabinets in all bed-

rooms and a purpose-built

gym with rubber fl ooring.

The huge upstairs

kitchen boasts two Miele

dishwashers, a Sub-Zero

fridge, and a built-in coffee

machine.

“This is the best part of

the house,” the owner said.

“It’s great for entertain-

ing and plenty of light

comes in in the morning

and afternoon.”

A glass door connects the

kitchen and a well-appoint-

ed alfresco area which has

a pizza oven, barbecue, and

external stairs to the fl oodlit

back garden.

An infi nity pool is close

to the house.

There is also a part-

basketball court. “It’s big

enough for a tennis court

but we chose not to put one

in,” the owner said.

The house was built

around a big gum tree be-

fore it was found the roots

wouldn’t survive.

The owner had a leop-

ard tree craned in to

replace it.

“I love how there are a lot

of green trees in and around

the property: they help make

the view,” she said.

“The amount of kooka-

burras and other birds we

get here is fantastic.”

The house is on a

1821sq.m block.

In 1935, a letter to the edi-

tor of The West Australian

described Jolimont as a

neglected suburb.

It should “not be al-

lowed to progress”, the

writer said, because of the

lack of roads linking it to

the surrounding suburbs.

In the early 1900s, the

only access to Subiaco

was a rough track running

through the bush.

Another letter writer

asked for greater police

protection because female

residents had to embark on

a “lonely walk through the

bush” to get to and from

Subiaco.

With just four lamps

illuminating the mile-

long journey along which

“there is not a building of

any description”, women

reportedly were afraid to

leave their Jolimont homes

at night after reports of

some being followed and

accosted.

If only those early letter

writers could see Jolimont

now. Today it’s a vibrant

mix of weatherboard cot-

tages, houses, villas, town-

houses and apartments

– some old and some new.

The median house price

is $1,367,500, and among the

recent sales at the upper

end was a modern house at

7 Peel Street, which went for

$2.405million in November.

One of the latest apart-

ment developments in the

suburb is Florin Parkside,

which will overlook Mabel

Talbot and Henderson

parks.

The off-the-plan devel-

opment by Stirling Capital,

which also built the

Treehouse complex, will

have 63 apartments rang-

ing in price from $565,000

to $2.05million.

Stirling Capital manag-

ing director Luke Reinecke

said the name of both de-

velopments paid homage to

the history of the location

as a plant nursery and to

the surrounding natural

landscapes.

“It’s rare to fi nd a prime

location in such a sought-

after neighbourhood with

an abundance of amenity

where we can build quality

apartments,” Mr Reinecke

said.

The display suite at 2

Hortus Way is open on

weekends from 10am to

2pm and on Wednesdays

from 4 to 6pm.

For more details, phone

9382 1616.

Jolimont transformation

■ Construction is expected to begin next month on the 63 apartments that will overlook Mabel Talbot and Henderson parks.

■ There are three colour schemes to choose from in the off -the-plan apartments at Florin Parkside.

“The CEO gave several examples of the mayor inter-rupting her and other staff at inappropriate times,” the inquiry report said.

“[Ms Lavery] stated that she had explained to the mayor that, given her ongoing actions, her access to the administra-tion building would not be reinstated.”

Staff told the inquiry there was a breakdown between the

administration and council.“Some councillors have

no faith in the advice being given, emails from elected members were often accusato-rial, complicated, demanding and antagonistic,” the inquiry report said.

“City staff also commented that emails from the mayor and some elected members were rude, dismissive or critical of staff.”

A consultant was paid about

$21,000 to produce reports to support eight minor and seri-ous complaints against certain councillors between August and November 2018.

The consultant gave “incor-rect advice” about how to deal with the complaints, suggest-ing “only the Corruption and Crime Commisssion” had ju-risdiction over the councillors.

None of the complaints against the targeted council-lors stood up to scrutiny.

• From page 30

Lawyer costs added to rates

Coast ward candidate Basil Palassis, who lost to Georgie Randklev by 26 votes, said he found it ironic that Ms Shannon was prepared to spend a large amount of money on Ms Haddon-Casey’s challenge.

“If I’d got in, I wonder if the response would have been differ-ent,” he said.

Ms Shannon said the council would conduct its own mailout if the Electoral Commission agreed to provide it with a list of voters,

which it has previously refused to do.

“The WAEC had suggested they had an obligation to protect elector privacy,” she said.

“However, this is incorrect as they are not subject to the Privacy Act.”

The letter from the three education groups asked that parents wear masks indoors when visiting schools and keep unwell children home from school.

Staff have also been strongly encouraged to wear a mask while at school.

“We are asking for your sup-port to ensure we keep our schools open and minimise disruption to student learn-

ing,” the letter said.Meanwhile, a 15-year-old

who received their second dose late last year and has waning immunity can cur-rently be in class alongside a 16-year-old who has recently received a booster.

The spokesperson for Federal Health Minister Mark Butler told the POST this week that, despite the Therapeutic Goods Administration provi-sionally approving the third dose for 12-to-15-year-olds in April, there was no immediate prospect of it being approved by ATAGI, the Government body in charge of vaccination.

“Early Australian and in-ternational data suggest that

children and adolescents aged 12 to 15 years have a very low risk of severe disease or death from the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2, especially if they have completed a primary series of vaccination,” the spokesperson said.

“There is currently insuf-fi cient evidence that a fi rst booster dose provides ad-ditional protection against severe disease for most chil-dren and adolescents in this age group.”

An exemption has been made for adolescents aged 12 to 15 in high-risk groups, for whom a booster dose is recommended three months after their primary course.

KKnuckles did it his wayThe ancient Greeks may not

have invented the hero, but they get credit for naming it and giving it a face.

The Greek word heros re-fers to Heracles (in Roman mythology Hercules), a fi erce defender, a warrior to the end, and this perfectly describes what Neil “Knuckles” Kerley was to AFL football.

Knuckles lived up to every letter of his nickname, with fi ngers as large as a string of pork sausages in a butcher’s

shop, ugly to look at but twice as hard to dodge if one of his mitts had your name on it.

Knuckles was one of the true blue enforcers in AFL history.

Sadly, my old mate Kerls died in a traffi c accident at Walker Flat on the Murray River, about 100km from Adelaide, on June 29.

He was aged 88. Kerls played 265 games, won

four premierships at three dif-ferent clubs (West Adelaide, South Adelaide and Glenelg, also coaching West Torrens and Central Districts), won four fairest and bests at West Adelaide, and was selected in one all-Australian team at a time when they were selected only once every four years after Interstate Carnivals.

Of course, he’s in both the AFL and SANFL football halls of fame.

Kerls’s contribution to foot-ball was immeasurable. It’s

hard to recall a player or a coach who was as

tough as a hobnailed boot and a man to be feared on the fi eld, and yet every inch a respected and gentle man off it.While Kerls may not

be a household word in Perth these days, those

who do recall his journey will have the fl ags in their hearts at half-staff.

Kerley did it his own way in football for more than seven decades.

Asked about his various run-ins with football offi cial-dom recently, he answered: “I couldn’t give a duff.” And nor could he.

If at times he was a renegade, he inspired loyalty, remaining a rebel and a lovable bloke to all who new him.

In many respects he re-minded me of my own personal protector at Subiaco, Dennis “Dinny” Barron. One day a tormentor of mine, Malcolm Atwell, was up to his usual tricks when Dinny grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and told him (and I’ll never forget the words): “Leave the boy alone, otherwise you’ll have to deal with me.”

Nobody messed with Dinny. Kerls embodied everything

that’s honourable about our game, a quality consistently revealed in matches between SA, the VFL and WA.

I’m so old that I played in an interstate game against Kerls the Great.

He didn’t play fullback but in the ruck, which was extraor-dinary because he was only 182cm (just under 6ft) tall and topped the scales at a mere 90kg (14-odd stone).

I didn’t come within a bull’s roar of Kerls during the match, but you could see he was a hard man on a football fi eld, one to steer clear of.

He got a great deal from his interstate matches, particu-larly against Victoria. “I was always a little sorry,” he once said, “that I never went and

played in the VFL.”“The only way South and

West Australians had of test-ing themselves in those days was against the Vics.

“The only reason I didn’t go was that I didn’t like Melbourne.”

Kerls and his Victorian counterpart Ted Whitten were the greatest of mates while at the same time the bitterest of enemies.

The verbal stoushes between the two men were the stuff of legends.

The two of them dominated the headlines in the days leading up to a Victoria-South Australia State of Origin clash.

Even though, unfortunately, they were long retired when Subiaco’s own Leon Larkin had the inspired brainwave that led to the fi rst one in 1977, for Kerley and Whitten, State of Origin became the big stage.

The friendly foes were ani-mating forces in the heyday of the matches as coaches, cheer-leaders and provocateurs.

The sparks and insults fl ew. Ted was passionate. In his 321-game career he only played in nine fi nals, but he played for Victoria 29 times. He championed the Vics like nobody else could. He was Mr Football in Victoria, the inimitable EJ.

Kerls, who played 32 times for the Croweaters, may have had more success in fi nals, but for a man who wanted to pit himself against the best, matches against Victoria were treated like a personal war.

State of Origin footy has been redundant now for so long it’s hard to recall when or even why it mattered. Funny, be-cause if you put that question to Rugby League fans in NSW and Queensland they’ll set you straight in no uncertain terms.

Let’s hear it for Robbo

The scenario plays out like this. Jack Robinson gets deeper than the Dalai Lama at Chope’s, leapfrogs Toledo, stealing top seed for fi nals day, and wins world title.

The West Australian’s chances of being world champion are so tangible my fi ngers are burning as I type.

Spot in fi nals day secured after another great performance at J-Bay, Robinson stands on the precipice.

I’m expecting suns to im-plode and Robbo to perform disappearing tricks at Tahiti’s world-ending vortex.

He’ll get shacked off his meditative noggin on a tube so gargantuan that he’ll have to tie himself to a Tibetan monk to fi nd his way out.

No gesticulating at the judges or whining about scores, Robinson is locked and loaded.

The same can’t be said about his closest rival, Brazilian Filipe Toledo.

The pressure on the world No.1 could become untenable.

If Robinson blows up Chopes it will drive a stake to Toledo’s heart. He thinks he should have won a world title already and the long wait to fi nals day will give him plenty of time to stew on the what-ifs.

Danger lurks for Toledo and all who face their demons in the yaw of the Tahitian behemoth.

Keep it safe, play it smart, hunker down on the doorstep of Trestles and practise on the thruster, not the quad, and pre-pare for the contest of his life.

Meanwhile, not back at Ranch,

I’m salivating at the prospect of hideous, deadly, draining, octagonal, planet-cracking, I think I should take a selfi e, grab the kids and your signifi cant other, load the Sandy, lucky I’ve

got private cover with dental, I want my money back barrels with surfers willing to hurl themselves over the ledge of eternity for fame, fortune and a Banksy on the wall.

I played at a time when it was pretty tough.

There were shirt-fronts, whacks behind the play, ear-massages if you were in front and completed a mark. Make the prick earn it, they would snarl.

The whole thing wasn’t helped by the fact that there was only one central umpire, and forget 50-metre penalties, try 10!

The two best fullbacks I played on, without ques-tion, were West Perth’s Brian France , pic -tured, and East P e r t h ’s K e n McAullay – and they were tough blokes too.

Other tough fullbacks in WA included South Fremantle’s Graeme Reilly and his brother John, Perth’s Graham Ramshaw, West Perth’s David Dyson, East Fremantle’s Trevor Sprigg and Con Regan, and the Swans’ Joe Lawson.

At South Melbourne in 1966 a teammate of mine was a hardhead from Traralgon named Paul Harrison.

I once said to Harro that Essendon fullback Charlie Payne was trying to give me a hard time.

Luckily I had warned Charlie earlier that I would “fi x him up” if he persisted.

One minute later I heard this almighty crunch, and turned to see Charlie fall like an unwanted camphor laurel

in a rainforest.To his credit, he got up a

minute later and staggered back to the goal-square.

“I warned you, mate,” I said. “Try stepping on my boots again, I’ll give you another one.”

Charlie kept his distance.Tough guys, genuinely loved

dearly by their supporters and hated by opposition fans, came in all different shapes, sizes and talents, including players of the ilk of Leigh Matthews, Buddha Hocking, Carl Ditterich, Robert Muir, Roger Merrett, Barry Hall, Glenn Archer, John Worsfold, Malcolm Brown, Darren Millane, Ray Lucev and Dermott Brereton.

You see less of these ruffi ans in today’s football, the main culprit for injury being the speed of the game itself and the human missiles who play it.

Let me fi nish with something about Kerls you may not have known:

Kerls was also a part of World Series Cricket, brought into the fold through Richie Benaud and the manager of our country tours, Graham Ferrett.

Kerls was assistant manager of the matches that featured the Cavaliers playing the West Indies, Australia and the World XIs up-country.

I got to know him well during this time.

Just as wit h his football, Knuckles did a great job in his role in our cricket adventure.

I’m back from a very sunny holiday in England with my family, and thrilled to have so many artful entries waiting for me.

I think you must have all had a very restful winter break because you’ve all come back to the Doodle- bug with fired-up imaginations.

Josie White, 9, from Shenton Park, turned the doodle into a magnificent-looking breakfast plate with bacon and eggs and avocado. I had to go and eat after I saw this.

She is one of our main winners along with Summer Palin, 11, from Nedlands. While there were

a few carrot doodles, I particularly loved Summer’s idea of a carrot and banana being stolen from a picnic by thieving ants. It’s a clever idea – and we all know how much ants can carry away when they find something yummy!

I love Ellen’s bunny with a car-rot, Tessa’s fisherman rowing his way through myriad fish, Jack’s exotic bird, and Ruby’s beautiful Cinderella gown. So many bril-liant ideas!

Enjoy another new term with all your mates, and keep being creative.
