Townhouse buyers in Nedlands say they have been “dudded” by a compromise deal between their developer and television and radio jour-nalist Liam Bartlett.

Mr Bartlett fronted a Nedlands council meeting on Tuesday to accuse his future neighbours of reneging on an agreement that requires balconies facing his Vincent Street house to have frosted glass balustrades.

“They were quite happy to buy the properties with that compromise in the conditions,”

Mr Bartlett told councillors.“I’m not fond of looking out

at people’s balconies and their bikes and their washing.”

Last year, four buyers paid

$1.45million each for townhouse sites on a subdivided block op-posite Mr Bartlett’s home.

Townhouses to be built by luxury builder Riverstone were sold off-the-plan.

The developer is Lenmal Pty Ltd, its directors Dalkeith residents Terrence and Elizabeth Allen.

All four buyers have applied to remove the frosted glass proviso, which was added as a condition when the building plans were approved at a May 2021 council meeting.

Buyer Geoffrey Nathan said none of the buyers had been told about the condition before the sale.

“We were dudded,” he told councillors.

‘Dudded’ owners caught in Liam Bartlett dispute

A bar big enough for 300 cus-tomers and open seven days a week until midnight is proposed for the new OneSubiaco develop-ment in Rokeby Road, Subiaco.

Public feedback on the applica-tion for a tavern licence for the venue – to be known as Subiaco Continental – opened this week on Monday and closes on August 22.

The operators say customers are expected to come from the 1000 residents who will live above in the nearly completed high-rise Blackburne develop-ment, plus 5000 visiting Subiaco every weekend.

Their public interest assess-ment says there are 46 existing licensed premises within a 500m radius of the site.

“None of the existing premises provides the style of operation proposed at Subiaco Continental,” it states.

The site of the former Pavilion Markets – which were open be-tween 1987 and 2007 – will have 224 apartments, including in a 24-storey tower.

About 80% of the 224 apartments have been sold, the PIA says.

Information is available from the website of the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor.

Flora the orphaned lamb has become a local identity as she is taken for walks through Mosman Park, Peppermint Grove and Cottesloe.

The new kid on the block, Flora has become a regular at some of the western suburbs’ favourite cafe haunts – from Il Lido in Cottesloe to Freshwaters in Peppermint Grove.

“She’s a very social animal and doesn’t like it when the people at a neighbouring table get up and leave,’ her doting

carer and adoptive “mother” Sue Bennett said.

“She feels her fl ock is sepa-rating,”

Flora was orphaned on a farm in West Toodyay in May at just two days old and needed inten-sive love and care to survive.

Dr Bennett, who is a small-animal vet, offered to take the 6kg dorper lamb into her life, bringing her to the family home in Mosman Park.

She bottle-fed Flora for two weeks night and day, keeping her indoors for the fi rst fortnight when the weather was cold.

Now, at three months old, Flora sleeps in a heated kennel outside, and is being taught by her adoptive family how to be a sheep.

“We’re getting her paddock-fi t for when she returns to the farm in October,” Dr Bennett said.

“We take her on long walks to the river, and up Monument Hill so she gets climbing prac-tice.”

Her walk to Cottesloe is, in Flora’s books, a bridge too far.

“She knows the shortest way home and if we divert from that she won’t budge,”

Dr Bennett said.Remarkably, Flora has

needed no training to walk compliantly alongside Dr Bennett and partner David on their long walks.

“She has a natural instinct to follow the fl ock, and right now we’re her fl ock,” Dr Bennett said.

Flora has attained celebrity status in Mosman Park, with regular appearances in parks and cafes drawing children in particular to her.

“Sheep are so gentle and kind and they’re a lot smarter than people think,” Dr Bennett said.

Flying in the

face of reasonThere has been a large

amount of chat in the media recently from people who have suffered delays, cancelled fl ights and other inconvenience with Qantas.

We had our fl ight back from Broome to Perth cancelled on May 24 and I have been trying ever since to get a refund for some expenses we incurred as a consequence.

Qantas Customer Care no longer has a phone.

Consequently, frustrated people like me call the only available number, 131313.

I speak with people who have no knowledge about my enquiry and I take them away from their role of selling more tickets.

Multiply that by the thou-sands of other people who do the same thing.

I would not be surprised if Qantas has already spent more money for the time it has taken

their staff to NOT address my refund, than the amount I am asking to be refunded.

The airline could improve the effi ciency of all calls by using frequent-fl yer numbers, provided before joining the queue of waiting callers, to

pull up the records of all of my interactions with them.

The poor soul with whom I eventually speak would then at least be able to say my request is being dealt with – or ignored.

Burn-offs make forests worseA professional forester (Never-

ending understorey, Letters, July 30) should know that logging has made our forests more fl am-mable, and current prescribed burning makes it worse.

Logging has left masses of fl ammable debris on the forest fl oor and removed almost all the big old trees, which don’t burn easily and suppress the understorey.

Our forests are more fl amma-ble because we have lost most of the digging mammals such as woylies, potoroos, quendas and bilbies, which turned over the soil and reduced the litter on the forest fl oor.

These creatures were here in their multi-millions and are now locally extinct or threatened with extinction.

Even if it doesn’t kill them, prescribed burning destroys their habitat and deprives them of food and protection from foxes and cats.

Invertebrate and microbial decomposers that also reduced the litter, are killed by fi re, and if they are unable to recover within the inter-fi re interval, decomposition rates decrease and the risk of future fi res will

likely increase. The current prescribed

burning policy requires 45% of the land in the South-West managed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions to have a “fuel age” of less than six years.

So when post-fi re regrowth is six years old and reaching its most dense, it is burnt again, and the cycle of fi re-regrowth-fi re is repeated.

Recent research reported in peer-reviewed publications such as the International Journal of Wildland Fire shows that long unburnt forest is less fl ammable than recently burnt forest.

Current prescribed burning is not only counterproductive; its smoke sends a lot of people to their doctor or to hospital and even kills people.

It has caused big losses to winegrowers, beekeepers and some in the recreation and tour-ism industries. Its frequency, extent and intensity are threat-ening biodiversity.

‘I caught them sneaking out’Two older people (he’s in his

70s) driving a white Toyota Camry have been booking and using ac-commodation but then abscond-ing without paying and providing credit card details that don’t work when accessed.

They have been targeting tradi-tional B&Bs, Airbnbs and short-term private rentals or scamming real-estate agents.

They are full of stories about buying properties throughout the western suburbs, fi ghting bat-tles with their lawyers and suing people, boasting about being a stockbroker in the past with a well-known company, constant name-dropping and big-noting, all to convey their importance and supposed wealth. She is a freelance journalist, according to LinkedIn.

After they had stayed in my B&B for eight days using both bedrooms

(when they had only booked for one), I caught them sneaking out early last Friday, and when con-fronted with requests for payment, the man became extremely abusive and volatile.

The woman promised to transfer money to her account by lunchtime so we could access her credit card. It didn’t happen.

I made repeated polite requests for payment by text. She replied with very sinister threats.

I have reported them to the police, the ACCC and Scamwatch.

My enquiries reveal I am not the only one they have done this to.

Somebody needs to deal with them. They are liars and fraud-sters, taking advantage of people while pretending to be pillars of society.

Branch of WA Labor passed the following motion at its meeting on July 30:

“Nedlands Labor supports building the children’s hospice in Swanbourne.

“This purpose-built facility will be critical to delivering educated care to vulnerable children with life-limiting illnesses and supporting their families during some of the most diffi cult periods of their lives.

“It is important to us that the hospice be built close to Perth Children’s Hospital and located in a peaceful, scenic environment to give children and families using the facility the most comfortable experience possible.

“All levels of government should work cooperatively to ensure that this vital pro-ject can be delivered as soon as possible.”

We encourage all local residents to sign Dr Katrina Stratton’s Open Letter to show sup-port for the hospice in the City of Nedlands. Go to katrinastratton.com.au and click on campaigns/children’s hospice.

Blast from the past … Then-premier Colin Barnett, with then-planning minister John Day, at Beaches in Cottesloe in 2012 they were there to announce that their government wants higher beach-fron buildings.

INSET: Propped up balconies on the ageing building. Photos: Paul McGovern.

Beaches to close its doorsBeaches cafe, long a relaxed

Cottesloe beachfront meeting place, will serve its last coffee this Saturday.

Uncertainty over the future of an ageing block of fl ats, with the cafe on the ground fl oor and tables spilling onto the grass verge, has prompted the cafe owner to close her business.

Beaches Cafe owner Ly Haong said it was a hard decision to end her Marine Parade business after eight years.

The building, at 122 Marine Parade, is supposedly controlled by developer Barry Baltinas, who has plans for the site.

“I’ve been on a month-by-month lease for the past 5½ years,” Ly said.

“I can’t spend hundreds of thou-sands of dollars [on a refi t] and then get kicked out.”

Ly said she had no joy in getting a meeting with the owners of the cafe space.

“We didn’t get anywhere with our landlord,” she said.

“It is owned by an Italian guy, but the lease has a different name.”

The letting agent had told her a six-month bond would be required if she signed a new lease.

“It has been a struggle since COVID,” she said.

“The building has deteriorated a lot in the last three years.”

Ly said this Saturday, August 13, would be her last day of trading.

She said she aimed to open a new western suburb food business later this year.

Ten years ago, when former pre-mier Colin Barnett changed rules about beachfront building sites, he said: “The beachfront is des-perately in need of an overhaul.”

Mr Baltinas has plans into the State Development Assessment Unit for 122 Marine Parade for a $27million eight-apartment project.

But RPData has the owners of the Beaches space as members of the Marchesani family, via Theresa Incoronata Pty Ltd.

Mr Baltinas did not reply to queries by deadline.

Pay bonanza for our most affluent

People living in western sub-urbs postcode 6011 have the highest incomes in the nation.

The average surged to well over $300,000 a year in Cottesloe and Peppermint Grove, which share the postcode,

Incomes leapt from sixth place in the top 10 the year before ris-ing 81% or $145,000 per person for the year in 2019-20, according to data released this week by the Australian Taxation Offi ce.

The average income for the 5200 residents between the Swan River and Indian Ocean was $325,343.

Postcode 6011 far outstripped the Sydney Harbour suburbs usually

considered Australia’s most affl u-ent, such as Bellevue Hill, Darling Point, Dover Heights and Mosman.

Postcode 2027, Darling Point, Edgecliff and Point Piper, came in second after 6011 with an average taxable income of $205,957,

Toorak was the only Melbourne suburb in the top 10.

A feature of the Cottesloe-Peppermint Grove rise in income were the massive amounts that came from partnerships and trusts, rather than salaries.

Chellingworth developer Tim Gurner has appealed to the State Administrative Tribunal after his latest plans for the Nedlands site were knocked back by a develop-ment assessment panel (DAP).

Nedlands residents won the day at an August 5 meeting, where Mr Gurner was trying to make big changes to his Stirling Highway project after it been approved through a fast-tracked process normally used for minor tweaks.

The latest plans for the $500million project show 137 more apartments, four extra storeys on the central tower, and a drastic reduction in commercial space compared to the version approved last year.

Neighbour Ken Perry used a projector to show DAP members pictures of a lemon and a pineapple.

“We’re being asked to say [they are] the same, in es-sence,” Mr Perry said.

“After all, they’re both just

pieces of fruit.“The members shouldn’t be

fooled by the magic tricks.”Mr Gurner’s lawyer, Paul

McQueen, ran with the example.“I don’t care whether it’s a

lemon or a pineapple or an apple or an orange,” he said.

“It is the same piece of fruit in this case, although it may be a different shape or a different colour.”

Mr Gurner told the DAP that the changes would improve the experience for residents and visitors.

“We love this site,” he said.“It will be a mixed-use

project the community will be happy with after this process.”

He also batted away specu-lation the project would not be fi nancially viable.

“We’ve never ever got a permit and not built,” he said.

Nedlands council’s lawyer, Craig Slarke, accused the developer of “sophistry”.

“It’s really smoke and mir-rors,” he said.

“It’s not appropriate for a developer to obtain an ap-

proval with various attractive elements … and then chip away at those elements.”

Two of the DAP’s govern-ment-appointed members sided with Nedlands coun-cillors Fergus Bennett and Kerry Smyth, ruling the changes were too big to be considered through the amendment process.

“It would undermine public confi dence in the planning process,” Mr Bennett said.

“It is really a whole new development.”

Government appointee Lee O’Donohue said there needed to be a proper look at the bal-ance of retail and commercial space to residential.

“I have concerns about the loss of the offi ces and the shops within the public area,” she said.

After the meeting, Mr Gurner said the result was “disap-pointing, but not unexpected”.

“We will continue to pursue all avenues, starting with a [State Administrative] tribu-nal appeal,” he said.

Chez Pierre

bubblesEighty people supped

on chicken liver pate and champagne at Chez Pierre in Nedlands on Sunday for restaurateur Jean-Daniel Ichallalene’s 80th birthday.

The renowned French chef said guests travelled from around Australia to celebrate his big day at the restaurant he founded in 2007.

“I know a lot of people – I still go around and shake hands,” he said.

Jean-Daniel emigrated from France in 1966, and soon opened his fi rst res-taurant in Cairns.

He and his wife Emily later moved to Perth by way of Bunbury.

In 1978 Jean-Daniel

opened Hilite 33 on the 33rd fl oor of St Martins Tower, which is now oc-cupied by the revolving C Restaurant.

After the birth of their

son Pierre, Jean-Daniel and Emily opened Pierre’s Garden Restaurant in West Perth, then moved the busi-ness to Nedlands in 2007.

Pierre, who trained at Michelin-starred restau-rants in France, now runs

Chez Pierre with the help of his parents.

“My son got the bug from me too,” Jean-Daniel said.

“I was always happy to work and happy to cook – it’s beautiful.”

Bon anniversaire…French restaurateur Jean-Daniel Ichallalene celebrated his 80th birthday on Sunday.

Truck versus trees … There were some close shaves this week.

Trees not companyThere was startling driv-

ing between Stubbs Terrace and West Coast Highway on Monday.

A truck carrying a donga swerved along the road as it made its way west and then south.

The driver was trying to ensure he didn’t take out

a big branch from any of the trees as he rumbled through.

A POSTie behind the behe-moth was grateful to see only small amounts of greenery fl utter to the roadside.

An architect was quizzed closely over his client’s plans to have their new home in Peppermint Grove too close to a neighbouring property.

“It’s a great way to start with your neighbours: going a metre closer than you should,” acting Shire president Charles Hohnen said on Tuesday evening.

Architect Philip Stejskal was at the meeting on be-half of Sally and Mike Bell.

The Bells want to build a single-storey house on their 1090sq.m Keane Street land, and want vari-ations to rules on setbacks and open space.

A report to councillors said the Bells wanted to build 3.2m from their Crossland Court boundary, instead of the required 4.5m.

“Was that a slip of the keyboard? You’ve got plenty of land, surely,” Mr Hohnen said.

Mr Stejskal said the Bells wanted a centre

courtyard with a private zone around a pool.

“We’ve tried to maximise the space in the centre as open space,” he said.

Mr Stejskal said he and his clients were talking with neighbours about the reduced setback.

Mr Hohnen said the development application asked for less than the Shire’s minimum of 50% open space.

“It’s really annoying,” he said.

“Someone else says, ‘They got 0.51%, why can’t I have 0.52%?’.”

Mr Stejskal said his clients were open to negotiation, but he felt the neighbour’s amenity wouldn’t be adversely af-fected.

The report said objec-tions to the application were received from the western and southern neighbours in Keane Street.

It said numerous chang-es had been made to the plans since they were lodged with the Shire.

Councillors are due to vote on the application on August 23.

Tower blocks could reach for the sky

Developers of a prime Cottesloe CBD site won’t rule out building a tower bigger than 10 storeys.

The council says submissions on the rezoning of business-woman Leonie Baldock’s big Station Street car park sites need to be lodged by October 10.

Earlier this year Planning Minister Rita Saffi oti issued an edict that the council’s planning scheme be overridden for Ms Baldock.

The scheme amendment means Ms Baldock and Sirona Urban managing director Matthew McNeilly could have towers up to 10 storeys on the 3232sq.m sites.

“It’s too early in the design approval process for us to com-ment on the proposed height for the Station Street project,” Mr McNeilly said.

“The community needs to see the Town of Cottesloe’s scheme amendment and we intend to make a submission as part of the public comment process.

“Once everyone can see what the amendment is proposing we

will have a better idea of what ultimately the built form will look like, bearing in mind height is just one aspect of excellent design.”

This week traders in neigh-bouring Napoleon Street said they were worried Cottesloe’s premier shopping strip would be overshadowed by anything taller than 10 storeys.

Ms Baldock, a daughter of late mining magnate Michael Wright, already has an appli-cation lodged with the State Development Assessment Unit for 166 fl ats in two 10-storey tow-ers (Tower splurge hits Cottesloe, POST, January 8).

She paid $22million for the land last October.

Existing shops that would become sites for the towers.

An “ugly” verge-grabbing bike path is set to be built on one of Cottesloe’s main streets, despite two-thirds of residents telling a council survey they didn’t want it.

Word about the $705,000 Eric Street project reached some residents this week, and some were furious.

“Cottesloe council seems hell-bent on destroying Cottesloe’s re-maining green areas with cement and lights,” Rebecca King said.

“A bike path is another dis-tressing example.”

Eric Street resident Judy Burbury said: “Instead of making the entrance of Cottesloe beauti-ful and safe, Cottesloe council are destroying it.”

The shared-use path will stretch from Curtin Avenue to Marine Parade.

At June’s council meeting

councillors approved a detailed design of the path.

They were told 67% of Eric Street respondents to a survey were not in favour of the project.

But council staff said if Eric Street residents’ feedback was taken out of the mix, a majority of respondents were in favour.

The council included survey re-sponses from out-of-town cycling group members in its results.

One homeowner said plans showed she would lose half of her council-maintained verge to the path.

“It looks ugly,” she said.Another resident said he fi rst

found out about the project three weeks ago when he saw a man taking photos outside his house.

“He said he was a tendering engineer for an upcoming pro-ject,” the resident said.

He said he was told on Thursday by Cottesloe’s engineer-ing manager Shaun Kan that a

A bid to make some resi-dential streets safer could actually make neighbouring streets more dangerous, say concerned residents.

Evans and Excelsior streets and Keightley Road in Shenton Park are in line for the Safe Active Streets Project (SASP), aimed at making them safer

for cyclists and pedestrians.The scheme is out for pub-

lic comment until August 22, including a drop-in session at the Shenton Park Community Centre in Onslow Road this week – with another planned next week.

Concerned residents Josephine MacFie (Morgan Street) and Peter McDonald (Onslow Road) raised concerns

this week about the proposal and process behind it.

They said reducing traffi c volumes, speeds and other re-strictions down the designated SAS roads would funnel more vehicles into parallel streets.

Morgan, Walen, Fortune and King streets and Onslow and Herbert roads could all be hit in this way, they said.

Street fight about safety



Ian dug in for 52 yearsA familiar face around

Claremont for more than half a century has taken his well-earned retirement.

Jack-of-all-trades Ian Graham started as a fi eld staff worker at Claremont 52 years ago, on April 13, 1970.

He was farewelled at a morn-ing tea at Claremont last month.

Mayor Jock Barker told July’s council meeting Ian was an “amazing employee”.

“His heart ... and his passion was in this town,” Mr Barker said.

Councillor Jill Goetze added: “I can remember when Stephen Goode fi rst started here as CEO. He would often catch the

train to work so he’d be walking down Bay View Terrace in the morning and he’d come across Ian who was polishing the rub-bish bins in the town centre!

“Ian was an exceptional em-ployee and the sort of employee I don’t think we’ll ever get again, ever.”

Ian was presented with a plaque on a bench in Claremont Park to mark his retirement.

He was born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).

His mother was an Australian nurse and his father trained pilots during World War II in the British Empire Air Training Scheme.

The family went to Britain, then migrated to WA aboard the SS Asturias.

Ian left school at 14 and

worked on the railways and as a delivery boy and street-sweeper, then joined the army, with which he served in Vietnam.

“I was with the 1st Transport Company from April 1966 to Anzac Day 1967,” Ian told the POST when he marked his 50th anniversary with the town in 2020 (Ian on the job 50 years, POST, August 1, 2020).

“I did some lawnmowing post-army, then I saw the ad for the truck driver [at Claremont].

“I started as a dogsbody in gardening.

“There were about 40 staff and everything was done by hand.”

He said at the time he had seen six mayors, six town clerks/CEOs, and six supervisors come and go since he started at Claremont.

Playground was Marion’s legacyNedlands council’s longest-

Bright intrusive lights, blocked sun, loud cyclists and disastrous damage to a 150-year-old North Fremantle home could be what lies ahead for a tight-knit community if a proposed bike path goes ahead.

Residents say consultation by Main Roads has been a “tick the box” exercise and their concerns and preferred alternative options have not been considered.

This leg of the Principle Shared Path (PSP) connect-ing Perth to Fremantle will link North Fremantle to a new bridge crossing the Swan River over Tydeman Road.

The proposed route follows the rail reserve on the east side of the railway tracks, abutting a row of heritage homes on Pearse Street.

A Main Roads spokesman said: “Main Roads has re-ceived feedback from resi-dents including the location of the PSP.

“We have been working with the Pearse Street community since October 2021 to consider and address their concerns.”

Heather Deighan, who lives in Albert Hall, an 1873 heritage listed property, said while she and other affected residents had not seen a fi nal design, the proposal would likely mean she could almost “touch” cyclists from her bedroom window.

“The back wall of our prop-erty, that’s the west-facing perimeter of our property,” Ms Deighan said.

“There is a very small dis-tance [between the wall and railway track], any of these cyclists will almost be able to touch our wall.”

“We understand that the PSP is going to be elevated.

“That will mean it is almost level with the sight line of my bedroom window.

“It’s really beyond words that between the railway line and my bedroom window will be this cycle path.

“And, if they will be the same as the ones north of here, there are these lights that come on with any move-ment at all.

“It will be like living in an illuminated palace [at night].”

During the day, the sun that dances through the

stained-glass windows would be blocked out for most of the day.

Ms Deighan said she was not sure how the structure of her home would hold up during work to build the path.

In a letter listing her objec-tions to the proposed location of the path, she wrote there would be “critical damage” to her home.

She added it would be impossible to construct the path because of a north/south sewer line that lies im-mediately to the west of her perimeter wall.

A Main Roads spokesman told the POST: “Main Roads is aware of the proximity to existing homes.

“The design and associated construction planning aim to eliminate any impacts.

“In addition, property

New drug could save a limb

It is too late for amputee Trevor Jones to benefi t from the discovery of a new drug that dissolves plaque in arteries.

But he’s as committed as the Marvel characters emblazoned on his prosthetic leg to help save lives.

The drug, Atherid, is being developed by Nedlands re-searchers at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

It will be the focus of a panel discussion for the community at 6pm on Monday August 22, at the institute.

Associate Professor Juliana Hamzah designed the drug while undertaking cancer

research on a tumour that de-velops a mass of blood vessels to deliver nutrients.

She noticed that the drug, designed to normalise blood vessels, also dissolved plaque.

Current approaches treat the causes of plaque build-up, like statins for high cholesterol, or surgery to remove or insert stents into blocked arteries, but none dissolve plaque.

It was a discovery that led to Associate Professor Hamzah switching from cancer research to cardiovascular disease research.

“Plaque accumulates in our arteries, sometimes causing cardiovascular disease lead-ing to heart attack and stroke,” she said.

“So this drug, if successfully commercialised, has the poten-tial to treat a range of conditions.

“We plan to develop the drug initially for use by patients like Trevor, who have peripheral artery disease, PAD, which can lead to amputations necessitated by blockages in blood vessels.

“Choosing to demonstrate the drug’s effectiveness on PAD will be a faster pathway to development than working on heart disease, but at the end of the day it should have wide-reaching benefi t.”

The panel discussion will involve Professor Hamzah, Professor Shirley Jansen, head of vascular surgery at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, John Barrington, co-founder and managing director of Artrya and chair of the insti-tute’s board, and Trevor Jones, PAD amputee patient.

To register for the discussion, go to perkins.org.au/events/community-qa.

Trevor Jones hopes he can save others from losing a limb.

Heritage Grants

The City of Subiaco has a rich history and strong identity, and appreciates the dedication of home owners who work to conserve and enhance their heritage properties, and, in turn, our beautiful suburbs.

Heritage grants are now open to assist owners of properties included on the Heritage List or contributory buildings located within a heritage area to preserve their building’s heritage values.

The grants provide financial assistance for works in the public view that conserve and/or enhance the heritage significance of a building, and for works required to stabilise a building.

The last round of funding saw Council award grants for works to heritage properties, including a grant toward repairing and acid cleaning the original stained-glass windows of a property on Nicholson Road, and a grant towards reinstating timber sash windows to the first-floor façade of a building on Hay Street.

To find out more or apply for a grant by 5pm on 30 September 2022, visit www.subiaco.wa.gov.au/heritagegrants

Making Subiaco roads safer

Subiaco streets are to be made safer after three identified traffic ‘black spots’ were awarded $212,500 in funding under the Federal and State Government’s Black Spot Program.

The Black Spot Program provides $110 million each year to directly improve road safety and the funds are allocated to projects with a proven crash history, or locations that are identified as high-risk. These improvements help reduce crashes and save hundreds of lives on Australian roads.

The locations awarded funding are: the intersection of Bagot Road and Hensman Road; the roundabout at Nicholson Road and Derby Road; and the roundabout at Townshend Road and Barker Road.

Mayor David McMullen said, “Funding from the Black Spot Program will be put to good use, making roads in Subiaco safer for everyone.

“City staff will manage the design work, and a top-up funding contribution towards all three projects has been included in Council’s approved 2022-23 budget.”

“MEADOWS” NOT ANOTHER ABSTRACT SERIES

BY SAM SADIK (DE SILLERY 2005)

Mining magnate Andrew Forrest has pilers and excava-tors hard at work at one of his beachside properties.

Some passers-by said the big machine at the Marine Parade property looked like a Texan oil driller.

One said he’d heard rumours Mr Forrest planned to have a bridge connecting a yet-to-be built structure at the lot to his

compound in front of heritage pile Tukurua.

A spokesperson for Mr Forrest did not answer queries about the machine, or what was planned at the site, by deadline.

A Cottesloe council spokes-woman said: “A building permit for piling and bulk ex-cavation was approved in May.”

The land with the excavator is next to another heritage property, Le Fanu.

Forrest digs deep at Cottesloe

Digging deep … This excava-tor is at one of Andrew Forrest’s

Cottesloe properties.

A 105-year-old tribute to fallen Anzacs in Claremont is changing hands.

The current tenant of Anzac Cottage, who sees herself as its caretaker, has lived in the Saunders Street house for 25 years.

She has invested into the home and last year created a driveway shrine dedicated to Anzacs.

The tenant has decided to move out after Claremont council was required by law to advertise the cottage for rent.

Real estate agent David Airey said the council had acted on legal advice on how to properly manage the property.

This required them to publicly advertise it for rent, giving the current tenant and any other potential applicants the opportunity to apply for a 12-month lease.

Mr Airey said the market rent assessment was in the range of $500 to $540 per week.

He added that the current tenant decided to move out and applications from others

were being decided by the Town.“This timber cottage is suitable for singles

or couples who are prepared to maintain and look after the home and gardens to a high standard,” the online rental ad said.

Anzac Cottage was built in two weekends on donated land in 1916 by local volunteers to house war widows with children, until 1957.

In 1973 the Legacy use ended when no Legacy occupant could be found. A council worker then lived in the house for 20 years.

A mad dash is on to remove weeds ahead of the arrival of breeding butterfl ies that travel thousands of kilometres to fi nd a particular fl ower.

Volunteers from Sustainable Outdoors have been weeding bush at Melon Hill next to Allen Park in Swanbourne.

The Yellow Admiral butterfl y is just weeks from showing up to lay eggs on the yellow blooms of the native senecio and pellitory plants.

“This is the weed season which doesn’t slow down until December and starts again in April,” volunteer Cameron Turner said.

The group plants, waters, weeds, and collects seeds to support the health of the bush.

“This butterfl y is so special, and the evolutionary relationship they have formed is the exact reason why we need to remove invasive intro-duced species,” Mr Turner said.

“They are migratory and quite

strong little fellas that can travel thousands of kilometres to fi nd this particular species of plant.

“The cater-pillar makes a cocoon on the underside of the leaf by wrapping the leaf around itself.

“When the butterfl y emerges, it eats the pollen from the fl ower as its main food source and this also pollinates the plant.It is a complete life cycle based around this particular species of plant.

“This is why we are weeding in these areas; to help support this intricate relationship.”

Mr Turner said the group had noticed small buds on the native pellitory plants.

“Any time now the small green fl ower will bloom,” he said. “This means spring is in the air and the butterfl ies are not far away.”

Man jailed for 16thno-licence offenceA man caught driving without authority in

Shenton Park has been sentenced to seven months jail.

It was the 16th time James Douglas Harrison shouldn’t have been behind the wheel.

Last Friday magistrate Sarah Oliver said Mr Harrison was stopped by police on Underwood Avenue at 9.29pm on March 30.

“It’s a silly one,” Mr Harrison’s lawyer, Adam Ward, said.

“He test-drove a car he wished to purchase.”Mr Ward said Mr Harrison, a scaffolder, was

looking for a car for his partner, who was six months pregnant.

The court heard Mr Harrison’s driver’s licence had been suspended for 52 months because of his past convictions for driving without authority.

Mr Ward said a 16th offence meant jail, but asked if a prison term could be suspended.

“He has proven he can stay away from drugs,” Mr Ward said.

“He witnessed domestic violence when he was younger.

“To his great credit, he has an ongoing ability to stay employed.”

Mr Ward said Mr Harrison’s child was due to be born in November, and his partner already had three children, for whom he provided.


C’mont bars get a boostIn a bid to put the spark back

into Claremont’s nightlife, the Town has removed red tape for small bars and is offering cash to support evening events.

The council voted last month to revoke a 2009 policy that re-stricted the maximum number of small bars in the town centre to four.

Small bars were also previously not permitted within 20m of any other hotel, nightclub, tavern or small bar.

A spokesperson said it was hoped that by removing regula-tions “further activation and investment in the Town Centre will occur.”

“We know local businesses, particularly those in hospitality,

have felt the pinch over the last few years and need all the as-sistance they can for economic recovery,” the spokesperson said.

“We encourage new businesses to consider coming to Claremont and adding to the vibrancy of our town centre.”

Claremont hopes to this year continue the success of its night-time activation grants, launched last year.

In 2021/22 almost $90,000 was handed to local businesses that put on 15 evening events in the town.

A spokesperson said the events attracted hundreds of people who could experience arts, entertain-ment, fi tness, fashion and food and drinks.

Three more applications for nighttime grants have so far been received for this fi nancial year.

Subi spends $20,000 shopping for advice

City staff paid consultants more than $20,000 for their expert opinion about the strip of historic boarded-up shopfronts in Hay Street, Subiaco.

They are the same shops at the heart of the protracted stand off between the city and owner developer Sanur which brought Hay street to a damaging stand-still for several months.

West Perth fi rm Castledine Gregory received three pay-ments in February and March in relation to the 100-plus year old properties at 242-428 and 440 Hay Street and 1 Seddon Street.

One of those payments, for $8219, was listed in recently published fi nancial accounts for the City as being for the “compulsory acquisition of heritage build”.

Castledine Gregory special-ises in local government laws.

Daglish-based fi rm Keystone Structural were also paid $594 in February for an “inspec-tion and meeting” at the Hay

Street shops.The council administration

said Keystone was employed to: “report on how the Hay Street properties’ heritage can be protected”.

“A copy of the report has been provided to Sanur,” the City said.

In relation to the payments to Castledine, Subiaco said: “The City considers many pos-sible approaches towards the protection of local heritage, and this can include seeking information or advice from

external consultants.“The City plays an important

role in the protection of local heritage and it takes this re-sponsibility seriously.”

About two weeks ago Sanur boss Barrie Lepley, who owns the shop buildings, was seen opening the boarded-up prop-erties to allow access to work-ers, a witness told the POST.

Mr Lepley was contacted for comment.

SHARK BARRIER CONSULTATION

The Town of Cottesloe is inviting our community to participate in an online survey to provide their feedback on the protected swimming enclosure currently installed at Cottesloe main beach at the beginning of October each year. At the June 2022 Ordinary Meeting, Council resolved to proceed with public consultation to determine whether changes should be made to the timing of the installation of the shark barrier, and to seek input from the community on any improvement opportunities for its operation.

The survey and associated documents are now available on the Town’s website at www.cottesloe.wa.gov.au/consultations (or under Have a Say on the home page) until 5pm on Sunday, 4 September 2022. We encourage our community to complete the survey and provide their feedback.

Thank you for drawing atten-tion (Hoodwinked over N Freo bike path, POST, July 23) to an appalling intrusion into the lives of a charming sub-com-munity of North Fremantle.

The bike path is designed as a freeway for fast cyclists and offers nothing to the local community.

Having got as far as North Fremantle station its planners seem to have only just discov-ered they have a problem get-ting it onwards and upwards across the river.

Staying west of the railway line is the obvious choice, but

it faces the same problem as the eastern option of achiev-ing the level to meet a bridge over the river.

Squeezing the path through the tight space behind the Pearse Street houses and destroying their tiny park for the convenience of cyclists will infl ict a permanent blight on a much-sought-after street.

The Department of Transport must think again, assuming indeed that they thought the fi rst time.

Allen Park objections contradictedThere are two sports pavilions,

the WA Bridge Club, historic houses and 45 private and army homes adjacent to Allen Park bushland and seemingly com-fortable in their surroundings.

The former bowling club in Allen Park was established to allow members to play sport and socialise and ex-service person-nel to rebuild their lives after the horrors of World War II – ad-mirable use of A-class reserve.

The WA Bridge Club, built on the adjacent site without oppo-sition, is now overgrown with bush on three sides. Evidently no noise or fi re concern here?

The proposed children’s hospice is dismissed by some, promoting reasons why it mustn’t be built. Arguments about A-class reserve, fi re and noise* would have former bowl-ing club Diggers and their wives looking down in disbelief. Any attempt to compromise with government has been lost in sustained rhetoric.

With a cleared site, setbacks, strict fi re building codes plus a rapid fi refi ghting response, there is minimal danger.

Occasional noise intrusion could be eliminated with sound-proofi ng and special glazing, and an evacuation plan could be safely implemented.

Unsure? Then stroll down Winthrop Avenue and listen as 32,000 vehicles a day rush past Perth Children’s Hospital and QEII Medical Centre. Observe the dense Kings Park bush, overlapping tree canopies and an orientation matching the hospice site. Note what a proac-

tive approach to fi re and noise can achieve .

We live 60m from Allen Park, and neighbours I talk to support the hospice project, focusing on reasons why it should be built.

• PS: Recently I walked past a raucous rugby crowd enjoying a close game. Standing on the elevated hospice site the only noise was the sound of the ocean. Disbelievers should try it. – G.M.

Research ‘favours

indigenous fire

methods’The eucalypt forests of

Australia have evolved over tens of thousands of years of regular burning by indigenous Australians.

Noongars would constantly patch-burn forests and grass-lands in WA’s South-West such that fuel ages only occasionally exceeded three or four years.

Fuels therefore would rarely build up to levels that would lead to damaging bushfi res.

Countless post-bushfire enquiries and peer-reviewed papers by fi re researchers and practitioners state that pre-scribed or planned burning to reduce fuel levels, aiming to mimic past burning practices, must be a fundamental strategy for eucalypt forest managers.

It is patently obvious from experiences in Australia and elsewhere that all the fire-fi ghting resources in a country cannot suppress multiple bush-fi res that start in hot and windy (“blow-up”) conditions, burning in forests with heavy fuels.

My motivation for continuing to support and promote well-managed burning in our forests follows a career of living and working in the forests of our South-West, forests that con-tinue to carry the biodiversity for which they are renowned.

Forrest threat

to UWA’s imageHaving been a student and

researcher for many years at the University of WA, I have a soft spot for the place.

Its history has included some great benefactors, enlightened vice-chancellors and a multi-tude of dedicated educators.

Hence my hesitation in ques-tioning what appears to be its readiness to fall in happily with newly revealed plans for Forrest on Swan (Forrest uni pub panned, POST, August 6).

Money has been left to UWA ever since its inception and has played a great part in establish-ing this great university, but I like to think that much of it has been left with no strings attached.

SHARK BARRIER CONSULTATION

The Town of Cottesloe is inviting our community to participate in an online survey to provide their feedback on the

protected swimming enclosure currently installed at Cottesloe main beach at the beginning of October each year. At the

June 2022 Ordinary Meeting, Council resolved to proceed with public consultation to determine whether changes should

be made to the timing of the installation of the shark barrier, and to seek input from the community on any improvement

opportunities for its operation.

The survey and associated documents are available on the Town’s website at www.cottesloe.wa.gov.au/consultations

(or under Have a Say on the home page) until 5pm on Sunday, 4 September 2022. We encourage our community to

complete the survey and provide their feedback.

WINTER PLANTING

This year’s Winter Street Tree planting program will be completed over the next few weeks, with 180 new street trees being

planted over the past few months. Please help us look after these trees and remember to give your new street tree some water

when the weather warms up!

This winter we also planted 100 (35 litre) native trees along the Principal Shared Path through an Urban Canopy Grant. 1500

native tube stocks were planted on the dunes at the three decommissioned beach access paths, to re-establish dune vegetation.

Cottesloe Coastcare have completed their winter planting with 4,500 native seedlings planted across several sites including

2,200 seedlings between North Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club and Grant Street and 1,500 seedlings on the dunes between

Salvado and Pearse Streets. Both of these sites received Coastwest grants to help with restoration works. Infill planting has

also occurred in south Cottesloe and at Grant Marine Park and Cottesloe Native Garden (on Broome Street next to Sea

View Golf Club). Coastcare and Perth NRM also hosted a school planting event on the Principal Shared Path to create

shade and habitat with 400 seedlings planted. Thank you to our dedicated Coastcare volunteers for their hard work.

FORESHORE UPGRADE OPEN

Repair works on the foreshore in an area that was badly

damaged by a heavy storm are almost complete. A

drainage system designed for large storm events has been

constructed, and a new footpath installed. The path is now

open for use however fencing will be in place until a new

stainless steel handrail along the limestone wall is installed.

Earlier this week 200m2 of jute matting was laid and 850

native tube stock were planted to further stabalise the

steepest parts of the dune.

Thank you to everyone for your patience while these works

were carried out. We hope you enjoy using the upgraded path.

DOG EXERCISE AREAS - REMINDER

Please remember that there are many off-lead dog exercise areas in the Town of Cottesloe and as per the Dog Act 1976,

dogs must be on their lead and under effective control at all other times in public open spaces. Dogs can be off-lead at two

locations on Cottesloe Beach; the southern dog beach (south of Dutch Inn Groyne to Cottesloe LGA southern boundary)

and the northern dog beach (from Lot 67 Marine Parade to Cottesloe LGA northern boundary). Dogs can also be off-lead

at Cottesloe Oval and Harvey Field, John Black Dune Reserve, Grant Marine Park, Andrews Place, Jasper Green Reserve

and at Sea View golf course between 6pm and 6am only. Locations near the train line include open space along Curtin

Avenue and Railway Street to the Public Transport Authority boundary fence. The Town’s Rangers are responsible for

enforcing the Dog Act 1976 and failure to comply may incur a fine. To find out more and view a designated off-lead dog area

map visit www.cottesloe.wa.gov.au/services/ranger-services-and-community-safety/animal-control.aspx.

We would also like to remind our community to please pick up after your pet. Dog waste bags are provided at all off-lead

dog parks and along the foreshore. Please keep an eye on your dog when it is off-lead and clean up after them.

2022/23 BUDGET ADOPTED

The Town of Cottesloe 2022/23 Budget has now been

adopted. The budget sets out how funds will be allocated

to running the Town and progressing projects over the

coming financial year. Projects included in the budget will

provide many benefits to the community. The 2022/23

Rodent control in the TownKeeping rodents at a manageable level at home is the

responsibility of every resident. Baiting is one form of

control, but they often contain anticoagulant poisons that

can harm local fauna like owls, frogmouths and native

reptiles.

If you can’t use traps, and need to use poisons, use

those with one of the following active ingredients: sodium

chloride, warfarin, coumatetatryl, or diphacinone, and

avoid those that use any of the following: brodifacoum,

So a property development “mogul” wants to “revive Stirling Highway” (POST, August 6)?

I think mogul Tim Gurner’s defi -nition of “revive” is interesting, to say the least.

Is he not wanting to build a humongous building, of dubious architectural merit, with dozens of apartments and space for dozens of cars, on the site of one of the busiest intersections in the City of Nedlands, and on a very busy highway?

And make a huge profi t at the same time?

No, there is nothing wrong with profi ts, and nor is there anything wrong in asking questions about development proposals.

For my money, this development will have a negative net benefi t for the community.

Roy StallRochdale Road, Mt Claremont

I want to support Andrew Mangano (Reform media com-plaints system, Letters, August 6).

The West Australian news-paper, PerthNow, The Sunday Times and all the Community Newspapers are owned by the Kerry Stokes-controlled Seven West Media, which dominates the Perth market, and have a monopoly in WA well beyond any Murdoch monopoly.

When I complained to the Independent Media Council (IMC) about how I was repre-sented in the newspaper follow-ing an article published on the eve of the 2019 federal election when I ran as the independent candidate for Curtin, I appeared

in front of the IMC to plead my case.

I challenged the so-called “independent” council’s high-profi le members about their independence, and their claim to maintain accuracy, fairness and journalistic integrity of the same media outlet that pays them.

I won, yet the ordered apology was disappointing. I launched defamation proceedings in the Supreme Court.

Shockingly, lawyers acting for Seven West Media argued the IMC’s decision was of no conse-quence and had no jurisdiction in a court of law.

So who exactly is regulat-ing WA’s media landscape, if

decisions made by a so-called “independent body” that the media outlet pays for are of no consequence?

Although Seven West Media settled my defamation claim, we need Kate Chaney, our new Curtin MHR, to ensure that the proposed royal commission into media diversity goes ahead and includes WA.

Everyone should have access to fair and unbiased avenues to defend themselves and their reputations without having to resort to costly litigation.

Help kids

with fun and

fulfilmentTechnology has delivered a

huge range of bikes, scooter and skateboards and kids need more interesting and challeng-ing places to enjoy them.

I’ve seen a number of crea-tive projects developed by young people using home shovels, bricks and boards to create mounds and jumps along the railway line and at Lake Claremont, because there is nothing accessible for them.

Don’t bag them for inventive play.

Instead, repurpose some bushland and open spaces for changing times, creating more opportunities for learning and responsibility.

Councils need to band to-gether to share these required projects.

Don’t forget to engage a multi-generational approach, providing seating for watching, a water fountain, toilet, parking and accessibility by rail and bike paths.

Watching the fun and skills at Perry Lakes skate park, the Nedlands pump track and Tom Perrott Reserve in Mosman Park is exciting and uplifting.

Lizzie ScottMcNamara Way, Cottesloe

If we build it,

they will comeThe avalanche of high-den-

sity residential building in the Nedlands local government area (LGA) needs to be put into perspective.

Nedlands has not grown in population in the recent past.

Census results show a reduc-tion of 118 in the number of residents between 2016 and 2021.

The WA Department of Planning Land Heritage Report No.11 forecasts the number of Nedlands residents to reach 25,620 by 2031, an increase of 3488 people over 2021.

The 2021 Census reported 8396 dwellings in the Nedlands LGA, with an average occupancy of 2.8 people.

The growth forecast by the Department of Planning would, at that occupancy rate, support an increase of 1245 dwellings by 2031. Construction in progress or planned already exceeds that number.

These results provide a compelling argument for some restraint by planning.

Green-waste bin proposal

baggedLast month I suggested (It’s

bin a good system, Letters, July 9) that Subiaco council’s proposed introduction of a once-a-week green-waste bin, replacing the existing green-waste bags system, would be a failure.

I struggle to see how all of the debris I collected after the storms during the fi rst week of August (photo attached) will fi t into one green-topped wheelie bin.

Perhaps, as was suggested to me, all of such debris from the council verge trees should just be swept into the road for the council to deal with? Or perhaps not?

Come on, council, we need more than the proposed weekly FOGO bin.

Craig M. Gumley Waverley Street, Shenton Park

Six into one won’t go ... Bags of green debris wait for collection after last week’s storms.

The heading Chaney keeps the temperature down (POST, August 6) may please the 29.4% of virtue-sig-nalling Curtin voters who directed their primary vote to independent Kate Chaney.

But her statement that her ac-tions linking “the science” with the beginning of a new era in Australia is pure fi ction.

The fact is that nothing Australia does in reducing its <1.3% of global emissions will have any effect on keeping the temperature down, or in stopping bushfi res, droughts or fl oods anywhere in the world.• The Greens’ “science” of clos-ing down all of our 24 coalfi red power stations (out of about 2400 operating worldwide), plus our oil and gas production, and replacing same with 100% renewables?• The Chinese “science” of prom-ising not to fi nance new overseas coalfi red power plants while add-ing 33 this year to the 1110 already

operating in China?• The US “science” of asking the Saudis to produce more oil to keep US infl ation down?• Or the German “science” of shutting 14 of its 17 nuclear plants and phasing out its 63 coalfi red power plants and instead rely-ing on Russian gas and oil while transitioning to 100% renewa-bles? (It is now recommissioning coalfi red plants and has halted the de-commissioning of the last two nuclear plants.)

No doubt Ms Chaney will inform the 70.6% of Curtin voters who didn’t give her their primary vote just what she believes she has achieved in a world context.

Scientific developments, not platitudes and subsidised wind and solar farms, will lead Australia to punching above its weight in this matter.

Nigel GuestDean Street, Claremont

Fired up about Kate Chaney’s science

Does Carey really care

about cooperation?Trying to commu-

nicate directly with Local Government Minister John Carey regarding the excising of two A-class reserves in Nedlands is like getting blood from a stone.

After many failed attempts to get a meet-ing with the minister I was afforded a short discussion over the phone with one of his advisers.

I question Mr Carey’s intention to work with council and community on progressing the State Government’s agenda on these issues if he is not willing to meet with those affected.

He is the minister for local government and you would think this would entail meeting with councils over contentious issues.

Some in the community would wonder if the absolute power he has is being used in the best interests of sick children and the local community.

The City of Nedlands would love to have the proposed children’s hospice in our area, but some question the suitability of its location in Allen Park, Swanbourne.

The minister has used his parliamentary privilege to lambast the City.

I would hope he can now redirect his ener-gies to building positive relationships with the organisations he is purportedly meant to represent.

Digging down into ‘wobbly’

thinking at Mosman Park“Wobbly” is an inadequate

description for the decision-making processes at the Town of Mosman Park (Wobbly start for $240,000 spend, POST, July 30).

Mayor Paul Shaw, in presenting his fi rst budget, announced a rates increase of 5.9%.

As justifi cation and excuse for the impost, he claimed, as if the status quo had suddenly altered, that only 42% of the properties in Mosman Park were rateable.

Because there has been no change to the rateable base, this justifi cation is as wobbly as it is fl imsy.

No sooner had the ink dried on that announcement than deputy mayor Georgie Carey declared that she was being “courageous” in spending $242,472 (ex GST) of ratepay-ers’ money for a feasibility study about a newly imagined

“town centre precinct area”This grand plan is not wob-

bly; it is a quixotic idea.Ms Carey’s “courage” must

be similar to that of a novice punter who is placing a long-odds bet on a horse because it has a nice name. This is not a wobble – it’s a fl utter.

This expenditure is an act of folly and the stated budget declaration of “much-needed funding (flowing) into our communities” as a result of the rate increase simply will not happen.

Its rationale is as fl aky as it is wobbly.

Throwing money at a feasi-bility study for which there is little enthusiasm suggests that the new council has money that is burning a hole in its pocket.

These actions are not wob-bly; they are just unbalanced.

Richard LongleyHorgan Street, Mosman Park

Having been born and bred in the South-West surrounded by native forests, and reading the differing opinions expressed on these pages regarding prescribed burning, it is with due respect to academics that I would rather accept the opinions of experienced professional forest-ers with a lifetime of successful hands-on managing our forests.

It is disingenuous for an activist to don a green cap then sign off with a PhD that is not based on forestry.

Readers who do not bother to

check credentials may be misled by such tactics.

I commend the recommenda-tions of our professional hands-on foresters to ensure all our forests and their wildlife live long healthy lives while sustaining our rural communities.

In turn, let the activists direct their attention to the environmen-tally devastating annual fi res that unchecked burn out huge areas of the Kimberley for weeks on end.

Former Wallabies player Dane Haylett-Petty and his ex-Western Force teammate Justin Turner have opened a gym in Jolimont.

Mr Haylett-Petty, 33, was forced to call time on his rugby union career in November last year after battling with ongoing concussion symptoms.

“It’s been tough,” he said.“I’m not quite 100% yet, but

I’m getting there.”The two athletes were class-

mates at Hale School, and both joined the Western Force after fi nishing Year 12.

Mr Haylett-Petty went on to

play 38 Tests for Australia.He had a nasty head knock

in his last match, against the All Blacks, at Sydney’s Olympic Stadium in 2020.

In December, a month after his offi cial retirement, he and Mr Turner opened a Fitstop gym franchise in Jolimont’s Jersey Street.

“It is a hard transition because you’ve had so much structure though your sporting career and you’re trying to recreate that structure in your private life,” Mr Haylett-Petty said.

Fitstop, a Queensland-based fi tness franchise, focuses ex-clusively on group exercise classes for people of all levels

of physical fi tness.Mr Turner said the new gym

had quickly grown into a thriv-ing community.

“People work their butts off,” he said.

“Life has been fl at out but it’s so exciting.”

The gym offers a creche, a kitchen, and new bathrooms with showers to accommodate the busy lives of parents and workers.

A “naughty board” in the foyer records the names of people who book classes but don’t turn up.

“You’re super accountable,” Mr Turner said.

“We’ve had people lose up to about 20kg.”

“All the for-sale signs for months showed clear glass balustrades.

“We weren’t the ones that made the decisions that the balconies were to be frosted.

“That was made by someone who had no right to do that on our behalf.”

Councillor Kerry Smyth said the dispute reminded her of the controversy over changes to the $500million Chellingworth de-velopment in Stirling Highway.

“There was mediation reached and then after that they chip away at the conditions of ap-proval,” she said. (report page 3).

Mr Nathan said he was representing the four owners whose townhouses will face Mr Bartlett’s house.

“We don’t overlook anything

other than a large, high brick wall and a hedge above it,” he said.

“The balustrades with frosting will severely reduce the natural light to the living areas and also restrict the view to the street.”

Mr Bartlett said it was unfair to scrap the compromise condi-tion after the development had been approved.

“[The developers] stood up here and said: ‘We’ll take that compromise.’

“The whole idea was that we receive a modicum of privacy.”

Planning director Tony Free warned councillors to stay out of the contractual spat between the townhouse buyers and the developer.

“I think we should just focus on our role,” he said.

The full council will vote on the townhouse owners’ applica-tion on August 23.

Liam Bartlett dispute

Three millennials are vying for the Nedlands council seat va-cated by 81-year-old Hollywood representative John Wetherall.

Planning consultant Oliver Basson, PhD student Heidar Koning and public servant Omar Macintyre have nominated for the September 16 by-election.

The winner will serve the re-

mainder of Mr Wetherall’s term, which expires in October 2023.

The eldest of the candidates, 30-year-old Mr Basson, is a for-mer council employee.

He worked as a strategic planning offi cer at Nedlands for nine months, but is now a senior planner at CBD development consultancy Planning Solutions.

Art trail to step upA Lake Claremont art trail

could be the fi rst step in de-signing a broader art circuit linking the foreshore with the lake.

Councillors last month ap-proved $100,000 to fund new artworks, expanding the Lake Claremont art trail.

A sculpture (Together by Noel Youngman) and a mural (Flora and Fauna of Lake Claremont by Brenton See) are already fi nished and six other pieces around the lake are planned.

Three proposed for this fi nancial year include an in-teractive flora-themed piece at the Lapsley Road parkland, a replica of an indigenous tool at a path junction near to Alfred Road and a fauna-themed metal stencil near to the bench seats on the northern path.

The designs will be presented to council on August 16.

At July’s Claremont council meeting, councillor Kate Maine said the trail would be a “jour-ney of discovery” around the lake.

“Thousands of people are now using different parts of the park,” she said.

“They may come to the park for a coffee, they might be com-ing to play on the swing, they might be walking their dog off lead, but the trail will provide a reason for them to exercise further.

“They’ll walk a lot further, they’ll explore the native fl ora and fauna as well as taking in the art.”

Ms Maine said she hopes the trail will one day incorporate all of Claremont’s art.

“I’d love to see the footprint incorporate the Goods Shed and eventually be completely

town-wide,” she said.“I think that it should be

the Claremont art trail even-tually.”

Councillor Peter Telford said this prospect would be really

exciting.“We do have signifi cant pieces

of art already around the town,” he said.

“If that can be incorporated and encouraged and eventually

link up with the foreshore, I think that would be really quite exciting to be able to draw people from the foreshore to Lake Claremont, our two prize natural assets.”

By BONNIE CHRISTIAN

Together, a sculpture by Simon Youngleson, and Flora and Fauna by Brenton See.

More thanMore than just a playgroundPremier Mark McGowan

made a surprise visit to Lake Monger Primary School last week to open a new nature playground.

Mr McGowan cut the ribbon on August 5 alongside the P&C’s Laura Moss and Churchlands MP Christine Tonkin.

The State Government tipped in $156,000 to the project, fulfi ll-ing an election promise.

Ms Tonkin said the P&C also raised funds, the Cambridge

Rotary Club donated a peace pole, and the Floreat Lions club donated equipment.

“It’s not just a playground; it is a refl ection of all the hard work that so many have contributed,” Ms Tonkin said.

“It is a representation of love to the school from its commu-nity.”

The playground was designed by landscape architect and school mum Paula Kuka.

It features monkey bars sup-ported by log beams, a boat, and balance challenges.

Buyers No Longer Faithful


“Friends have joked that this will be a bar before too long, but that’s not going to happen,” Juanita Gill-Hille said of her new art supply business in Wembley.

Ms Gill-Hille has opened the space Deckle on Nanson Street.

In the light-filled studio with its polished fl oorboards and heavy old antique stor-age furniture, huge sheets of hand-crafted paper with the rough-cut deckle edging that gives the shop its name hang on the walls like works of art.

Here, Ms Gill-Hille has returned to painting and to selling an array of specialist art equipment, gifts, books, ceramics and craft supplies.

She may hold painting classes, but she is certain it will never develop into a neighbourhood bar.

She and her late husband, artist Murray Gill, ran Gill and Hille Merchants, an art supply store on the corner of Rokeby and Heytesbury roads.

Because they both came from a background in hospitality, it wasn’t long before their creative customers stayed on for a glass of wine and part of the shop became a small bar called Juanita’s.

Mr Gill then wanted to open a fi sh and chip shop further down Rokeby Road. Faced with on-going licensing issues

the business closed after a short time.

The prolifi c artist and restau-rateur died in May last year.

(Much-loved eccentric dies at 77, POST May 8, 2021).

In Ms Gill-Hille’s new studio, she has some of her husband’s greeting cards for sale, and has a couple of his artworks on display, but she said she

did not want the business to be about him.

“This is a beautiful, tactile space and I’m not in a rush,” she said.

“I want to create this slowly and build a painting clientele.”

A feature in the studio is a shapely ceramic sculptural display stand created by her sculptor daughter Olive.

Pay goes up in CottesloeCottesloe’s civic leaders

have had an increase in their allowances.

T h e c o u n c i l ’s b u d g e t d o c u -ments show mayor Lorraine Young’s al-lowance rising $500, to $28,000.

Deputy mayor Helen Sadler’s al-lowance is up from $5436 to $7000.

Cottesloe has budg-eted $204,300 for councillor allowances and meeting fees.

T h e m e e t i n g fees component is $150,000, up from last year’s $144,481.

Travelling ex-penses of $4500 and a telecom-munications allowance of $14,400 are in the budget.

Cottesloe is classed as a Band 3 council. The classifi cation de-termines how much councillors

can be paid.The maximum a Cottesloe

councillor can be paid in meet-ing fees for a year is $16,367.

Cottesloe generally pays its elected members every quarter.

Last month’s ac-counts showed coun-cillors getting $4275.

Ms Young got $13,275; Dr Sadler got $5993.75.

Councillor allow-ances are set by the State Administrative Tribunal under the Salaries and Allowances Act.

The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries says al-lowances and fees aren’t a salary.

Instead, they are “a recognition of time and effort” put in by councillors.

The Department says coun-cillors are also entitled to be reimbursed for childcare costs.

Police descended in force on Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital on Tuesday night after a phone call was received by the facil-ity.

The Nedlands hospital got the call at 11.30pm.

The caller made threats to the hospital.

The Tactical Response Group, Bomb Squad, and Regional

Operation Group offi cers went to the hospital and cordoned off an area.

The offi cers waited for several hours but the threat wasn’t car-ried out.

A hospital spokeswoman said an on-site investigation found there was no threat to patients or staff, and patients weren’t moved.

Lost skills return

Skills that have been lost through generations are being revived in Claremont.

This month’s Claremont Museum’s Lost Skills workshop will teach kids shelter and hut building.

The aim is to bring back his-torical life skills or learning a forgotten art.

Workshops will include cal-ligraphy, sewing, baking bread

in a wood-fi red oven, fi shing, building canoes, wood whit-tling, tinting photos, weaving and storytelling.

Mayor Jock Barker said that in the past people needed all sorts of skills to survive.

“Skills that were common, such as making soap, darn-ing a sock or whittling a utensil, have been replaced by innovations and technol-

ogy.” he said.“The Lost Skills program

hopes to facilitate inter-generational connections as the older and wiser members of our community share their knowledge and traditions.”

The next Lost Skills work-shop will take place on Sunday August 21 and will focus on shelter and hut building.

Finding lost skills … Kids have the chance to learn forgotten arts in Claremont each month.

Unsold milk goesdown the drain

A shopping trolley full of milk went to waste in Peppermint Grove recently.

A POST reader said he saw the trolley at Woolworth’s Cottesloe Central shop 17 minutes before it shut on Sunday July 31.

He said the milk’s expiry date was that day.

“Nobody from this Woolworths was interested in reducing the price of this milk and at the same time assisting pensioners and low-income people,” he said.

“Maybe Woolworths manage-ment should make somebody responsible for control price reduction of products with dates close to expire.”

A Woolworths spokesman said the chain couldn’t donate dairy

for health and safety reasons because it had use-by dates.

“Usually, items that are close to their use by date are marked down for purchase but cannot be sold once they reach their use by date,” he said.

“We work hard to reduce food waste across our stores – it’s not only the right thing to do, but also good business practice.”

Food charity OzHarvest said Woolworths was its national partner.

OzHarvest State manager Jennifer Keen said the charity’s aim was to rescue as much ed-ible surplus food as possible, including dairy.

“There is still a lot of food that goes to waste,” Ms Keen said.

“Food waste is a national issue [7.6 million tonnes a year goes to landfi ll] and the national target is to halve it by by 2030.

“While we are often quick to blame supermarkets, one third of food waste comes from households.”

The Woolworths spokesman said: “In April Woolworths and OzHarvest reached a milestone of donating the equivalent of 50 million meals since the begin-ning of their partnership.

“In the past year, we donated the equivalent of 25 million meals to our hunger relief part-ners to help feed Australians in need.

“We’ve set ourselves a goal to divert 100% of food waste from landfi ll by 2025, and we’ve made good progress in recent years thanks to the support of our store teams.”

The CollectionsBecause we go to the source…Unmatched colours in this charming collection from villages and oases reflect the vibrant hill sides of wild flowers that supply the natural dyes for these pieces. Nomadic and village weavers create these simple but singularly beautiful works of art. Ancient designs and natural dyes, often on pure wool, capture a powerful earthiness for both the discerning collector and the practical home decorator. After years of visitng these frontier outposts, Peter Faeghi consistently brings back the best of the best for inclusion in the Persian Carpet Gallery Collections. Each piece is unique and all are yours at internationally competitive prices. Buy wisely. Shopping only at the original Persian Carpet Gallery.

Because we know who the master

Boans beams

stolenPolice want builders

and renovators to keep a lookout for stolen col-umns that used to grace the historic Boans shop in Perth.

The 41 cast iron col-umns, stolen from a commercial property in Helena Valley earlier this year, are valued at about $490,000.

The columns have dis-tinctive Corinthian-style capitals and fl uted bases, are 6m high and weigh about three tonnes each.

They were made in 1912.

The late Wembley Downs writer and re-searcher David Hough’s Boans for Service was a best-seller.

Boans had a presence in Perth and suburbs (including Peppermint Grove) for 90 years.

Axe used to

steal jewelsJewellery valued at

$10,500 was stolen from a Claremont shop late last week.

Senior Sergeant Jodie Leahy said CCTV vision showed a man go up to Brinkhaus Jewellers at 3.20am last Friday.

He used a small axe or hatchet to smash the glass to get into the St Quentin Avenue business.

Police cordoned off the area later that morning and examined the scene for forensic evidence.Crime scene … There was a smash’n’grab on St Quentin

Avenue.

Letterbox

stolenA Mosman Park let-

terbox vanished last weekend.

The Samson Street owner assumed it was stolen and reported it to police on Monday morning.

She had gone to check her mail but found the letterbox gone.

“Another strange hap-pening on the streets of Mosman Park,” the owner told a Facebook group.

“Anyone with informa-tion is urged to call Crime Stoppers,” a police spokes-woman said.

A Mosman Park resident is missing their letterbox.

Police probe

meat theftWembley police inves-

tigating a theft from an IGA supermarket want to speak with a woman with orange hair.

The theft happened on Sunday July 31.

Police said a shoplifter put meat in her bag after wandering the aisles, then left the shop without paying.

The woman they are seeking had a large build; looked to be in her late 20s, and wore a dark green top and jeans.

The crime happened at the Mt Hawthorn IGA on Scarborough Beach Road.

Call the station on 9214 7100.

This woman may have in-formation that can help

Wembley police.

Crooks screened out

Wembley police think a man with a tattoo on his left arm could help with an investigation.

Would-be burglars tried to force the fl yscreen at the front of a home in Subiaco’s Bagot Road on July 15 at about 2am.

They were deterred, and instead stole a purse from a car in the driveway.

A bank card in the purse was used fraudu-lently six times a short time later.

Offi cers want to speak with a man who had a closely-shaven head, and wore a white T-shirt and blue jeans.

Marion’s legacyhave become a reality without her.

“She just embraced the whole concept of inclusive play,” he said.

“It was more than a job for her, it was a truly vocational passion.

“I won’t ever go there without thinking of her.”

In her eulogy, daughter Fawzia Wilson said her mother developed her lifelong passion for strong communities while growing up on a farm in remote Moorine Rock, in the Central Wheatbelt.

She was the fourth of eight children raised by Croatian immigrants.

“Mum’s whole life was in-fluenced by her upbringing as part of a large and vibrant immigrant family,” Ms Wilson told the funeral.

“From this she developed her keen sense of the value of strong discussion, of humour, of appreciation of others, and a strong sense of social justice.”

When Moorine Rock Primary School faced closure because of dwindling student numbers,

Marion’s parents enrolled her a year early.

She became the school’s 10th student, allowing it to stay open to this day.

Marion moved to Perth to study at UWA in the early 1970s, coinciding with the election of Gough Whitlam’s social reform-ist Labor government.

Valma Granich said the politics of the time indelibly coloured Marion’s worldview.

“It was an exciting, heady time which Marion embraced wholeheartedly,” she said.

“Why go to a lecture when you could go and see Whitlam talk at Forrest Place?”

Ms Wilson said her mother met her father, Peter Wilson, at a women’s liberation meet-ing in 1973.

“He lived in a sharehouse where the meeting was being held,” she said.

At Nedlands one of Marion’s many responsibilities was to or-ganise citizenship ceremonies to welcome new migrants to Nedlands – a task she undertook with zeal.

“She told me this was one of the things she loved most about her job,” Ms Wilson said.

Pay bonanza for affluent

$915million in 2018-19 to $1.7bil-lion the following year.

Another indicator of the wealth that has fl owed to 6011 is a report that their luxury waterfront properties command some of the highest premiums in the world.

The Melbourne Age reports that Perth takes up one of the top fi ve spots in this year’s in-ternational waterfront index.

The index measures the poten-tial value uplift for prime homes on the water’s edge compared with similar properties located further inland without access to, or a view of, water.

Sydney led the rankings, with a waterfront property in the city with views across its harbour at-tracting an average premium of 121% compared to an equivalent home set away from the water.

Auckland, on New Zealand’s North Island, was second with a premium of 76%, ahead of the Gold Coast (71%) and Perth (69%).

The Cap d’Antibes Peninsula (59%) in the south of France was the highest European entry in the list of 17 international locations.

Cott to build ‘ugly’ bike path

safety audit would be done on the path after it was built.

“Why would you do a safety audit afterwards, instead of before it’s built?” he said.

Residents are also wondering why a council Active Transport Working Group meeting about the path was confi dential.

Meeting notes said the secrecy was due to grant information –

but documents show the Federal Government agreed to provide $207,534 for the project.

The documents show the Federal money was approved in November last year.

A council spokeswoman said tenders for the path close this Sunday.

She said no trees would be removed, but “selective pruning will take place and some small shrubs will be removed”.

New rangers find lost dog before owners know it’s lost

A shout-out to dog-lovers working at the City of Nedlands has resulted in bags of donated blankets, towels, bedding, sheets, leads and collars being delivered to the Shenton Park Dogs Refuge by Nedlands ranger Amanda Rafeek and ranger administra-tion offi cer Erika Brown.

The generous gifts also in-cluded a quantity of artifi cial turf for dogs that would rather not pee on hard surfaces.

Amanda and Erika are new recruits to the City but have settled in well.

On the fi rst day of her new job, Amanda managed to fi nd a lost dog before the owners even realised their dog was missing.

“It was just one of those funny situations,” Erika said.

“We got a call from one of our local primary schools to say there was a friendly dog wander-ing around the school grounds.

“While we were in the process of picking up the dog and scan-ning it for a microchip, residents from a nearby house came to

see what was going on, only to discover the dog in question was actually their dog.”

Although Amanda is new to the role of ranger, she is a dog-lover with experience handling cats, dogs and other domestic animals.

New Nedlands ranger Amanda Rafeek and ranger administra-tion offi cer Erika Brown delivered donated goods to the dogs refuge.

Kids make mark for

safe streetsPrimary school students

walking or cycling to school in Mosman Park will now fi nd it much safer after 30 local fami-lies painted footprints and stop signs on footpaths throughout the suburb over the weekend.

The Safe Routes to School activity was organised by peak cycling body WestCycle and Mosman Park Primary School P&C, with the help of commu-nity grant funding from Mosman Park council.

Safe Routes to School pro-grams have been delivered around the world and have evolved into an approach that promotes safe walking and cy-cling to school.

P&C president Nick Lonie said the hands-on safety initia-tive gave kids the opportunity to literally make their mark on the pavements for the years ahead.

“The school is keen to contin-ue working alongside WestCycle and the Town to encourage pupils to walk, bike or scoot to school to reduce local traffi c volume and encourage healthy habits,” Nick said.

“There is still a lot of work to do in this space but our community can get there with small steps led by our primary school kids.”

Mayor Paul Shaw was thrilled to see the Town’s Community Partnership Program help fund and bring to life the Safe Routes

to School initiative. “This is a brilliant example

of community collaboration in Mosman Park – local councils working with local schools and other agencies like WestCycle to advocate for and drive safe and accessible movement through the Town,” Mr Shaw said.

“The Town’s Community Partnership Program supports local groups and empowers in-dividuals to bring to life their ideas, energy and passion for

connecting our community.“Round 2 is open and we’re

looking for something that hasn’t been done before.”

EOIs for the Town’s Community Partnership Program are open until August 18.

Community groups, clubs as well as individuals with community-focused ideas are invited to apply.

Visit mosmanpark.wa.gov.au/communitygrants for guidelines and application forms.

Children from Mosman Park hit the footpaths last weekend, paint-brushes and stencils in hand.

More than 2250 guests vis-ited Methodist Ladies College last week, packing the seats of the school’s Hadley Hall to enjoy the college’s yearly production.

Magic and fairy dust drew large crowds to MLC’s produc-tion of Wendy and Peter Pan last week, as the feminist retell-ing of the J.M.Barrie classic put female characters to the fore.

With four shows performed across the week featuring a talented cast and crew of more than 60 students in Years 7 to 12, the production was a huge success, production director Kathryn Keen said.

The refreshingly modern take on J.M. Barrie’s classic tale Peter Pan was written by Ella Hickson.

It stayed true to the charm of the original piece but placed the character of Wendy Darling centre stage.

Ms Hickson said she had been struck by how much fun the boys in Peter Pan were having in the original book and play, noticing Wendy had very few choices outside of “playing mother”.

“I was interested to see what the story looks like told from Wendy’s perspective – what does Wendy want and how is it her Neverland as much as it is for the boys,” she said.

Under the guidance and ex-pertise of production director and MLC teacher of theatre arts Kathryn Keen, the uplift-ing story captured the spirit of adventure and made pertinent

nods to the journey of growing up.

“The layers of adventuring women in this play make it both timely and exciting,” Ms Keen said.

“All the females in this piece are on the edge of change as they search for more in their lives.”

“Wendy starts as a damsel in distress and ends as a warrior.

“Mrs Darling redefi nes the role of mother and wife with echoes of the suffragette move-ment in her story.”

Juggling co-curricular ac-tivities, study, assessments and exams, the cast and crew of MLC students worked hard in the lead up to the live shows and committed hours each week to rehearsals, Ms Keen said.

Warrior Wendy wows the crowds

Do you have diffi culty fol-lowing group conversation?

Do you wear hearing aids, or worse still are you being told to go and get your hearing tested?

Being hard of hearing is not easy – it’s a hidden disability no matter how mild it is.

And coping on a day-to-day basis can be challenging.

It can be isolating and is a signifi cant barrier to easy socialising.

Loss of hearing researchers are anxious to address this

problem.Two researchers from the Ear

Science Institute of Australia, Associate Professor Melanie Ferguson and her colleague Ellen Bothe, will be the guest speakers at the Rotary Cambridge breakfast meeting on Wednesday, August 17.

They will be talking about auditory-cognitive training – a series of listening exercises designed to help people with hearing loss to hear better.

The meeting will be held at

the Cambridge Bowling Club, Chandler Avenue West – below the Floreat Forum.

Arrive at 7am for the 7.30am meeting and the $20 charge includes a light breakfast.

The meeting will wrap up by 8.30am.

Films shine a light on deafnessOn Sunday August 28, Better

Hearing WA is hosting the screening of Unheard SStories, four short stories which explore and celebrate the di-versity and lived experience of deaf and hard-of-hearing people.

This one-off screening, at the Windsor Cinema in Nedlands at 6.30pm, is a way of offering the deaf and hard of hearing a much-needed voice in society.

The fi lms with English subti-tling and Auslan interpretation. English subtitles and Auslan.

Hear Me Out focuses on coch-lear implants and includes an interview with Professor Bill Gibson, who is a renowned Australian ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeon and world leader in cochlear implantation.

It was a winner at the London

Independent Film Awards of 2021.

Deafying Gravity allows Katia Schwartz, a deaf queer aerial performer, to refl ect on her life and extraordinary career.

Amplify This spotlights nine Australians who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Finally, We Hear You was a winner at the Cannes World Film Festival in 2021.

This American fi lm was pro-duced by three women with hearing loss, and was a win-ner at the Cannes World Film Festival of 2021.

Hearing loss affects one in six Australians and is exacerbated as we age.

These fi lms give a voice to many who struggle to communi-cate with families and friends.

Ticketing details can be found at Ticketebo.com.au/betterhear-ingwa.org.

A group of Mosman Park Primary School parents are taking the costume-making stress out of the upcoming book week and Halloween.

P&C member Samantha Martin came up with the idea to run a market for pre-loved kids’ dress ups and costumes.

Since word got out, the P&C has had hundreds of costumes and accessories donated by families, ahead of the costume market this Sunday, August 14.

“We’ve had so many amazing costumes donated – everything

from Beatrix Potter to Harry Potter for book week, and the full range of scary stuff for Halloween,” Samantha said.

“The P&C has been work-ing hard to fi nd ways to make the school’s operations more sustainable, and we thought this was another way we could contribute by reducing garment landfi ll.”

The school was recently praised by the Western Metro Recycling Centre for its single-use plastic-free canteen.

A group of Mosman Park

children were excited to get a sneak peek last weekend at the costumes that will be for sale.

Five-year-old Grace went straight for the princess costume while Frank, 7, was excited to dress up as Thing 2 from Dr Seuss’s Cat in the Hat.

The costume market will be held at Mosman Park Primary School (corner of Solomon and Victoria Streets, Mosman Park) from 10.30am until 1pm this Sunday. Most items are priced between $2 and $12.

The public is welcome.

Mosman Park Primary School kids present a preview of the school’s pre-loved costume sale this Sunday.

Costume sale prepares kids for book week and Halloween

Deep sea creatures and eyes in the skyThere will be two talks at

the western suburbs branch of University of the Third Age (U3A) on Monday, August 15 at the Grove Library.

At 1pm Christine O’Brien will be talking about our un-derstanding of some incred-ible sea creatures and how there is a lack of knowledge of what lives in our oceans.

After afternoon tea at 2.30pm Dr Richard Smith will deliver a talk called Eyes in the Sky

– Surveillance for Survival. He will introduce the

new technology of Earth Observations from Space (EOS) into the WA Government.

These satellites give a new and unique view of the earth, revealing the massive human impacts driving climate change, species extinction and human confl icts.

There is a $3 charge and visitors are welcome – no need to register.

Beginning Monday, 22 August 2022 all kerbs and footpaths and laneways in the Town of Cambridge will be sprayed with herbicide (Glyphosate). All visible weeds will be treated with this low toxic herbicide that leaves no soil residual activity.

If you don’t want the kerb and footpath outside your property sprayed and have not already sent in an exemption form, please contact the Town on 9347 6000. Your name and address will be recorded and a form sent to you to fill in that will ensure your exemption. Alternatively, you can submit an online application at www.cambridge.wa.gov.au/weedcontrol

All property owners/occupiers who sign the form will need to keep the kerb and footpath adjacent to their property weed free to the same standard that will be achieved by chemical control. The Town’s lanes and drainage sumps will also be sprayed for weed control, using the above same chemical. All works are carried out in accordance with Health Department regulations.

Inventor of spray on skin and 2005 Australian of the Year Professor Fiona Wood is lead-ing Wound Awareness Week 2022 (August 15-21) to highlight solutions to Australia’s hidden epidemic of chronic wounds.

Professor Wood said the trauma of chronic wounds re-mained largely unknown despite causing massive fi nancial and health burdens.

“Over 420,000 Australians suf-fer chronic wounds each year,” she said.

“Chronic wounds cost Australia’s health and aged care budgets more than $3 billion annually.

“The average patient faces $4000 out of pocket costs.

“That’s around $340 every month.

“Chronic wounds cause pain, infections, amputations and even death.

“However, many can be healed with the right help from the right healthcare professional at the right time.”

The costs of chronic wounds are not covered by Medicare.

This means patients are forced to choose between treatment and their everyday bills.

Jenna Allen, 28, from country Victoria was bitten by a redback spider bite nearly a decade ago.

Her ongoing suffering has led to infections, multiple surger-ies, a skin graft and countless medical appointments.

Forced to spend tens of thou-sands of dollars a year to save her arm from amputation, Jenna is now being treated by Wounds

Australia chair and leading wound care nurse Hayley Ryan, and her wound is fi nally begin-ning to heal.

“Chronic wounds are a mas-sive problem for Australia’s health and aged care systems, but thankfully, the solution is bleeding obvious,” Ms Ryan said.

“Wounds Australia has built a plan to solve many problems uncovered by the Aged Care Royal Commission and MBS Review.

“Wounds Australia’s 11 Point Plan is a blueprint for the Federal Government to save hundreds of millions of dollars and prevent thousands needing medical treatment each year.”

Information on chronic wounds, Wound Awareness Week and the 11 Point Plan is available at WoundsAustralia.com.au.

Wood wants wound awareness

Professor Fiona Wood is leading Wound Awareness Week, high-lighting the challenges of chronic

wound care.

Lifeline answers first call at new Subiaco home

Lifeline WA is ringing in change with the fi rst call an-swered at its new telephone crisis support centre in Subiaco.

Crisis supporter Seth took the call at the new premises as Lifeline WA said goodbye to its former home in Shenton Park.

The Shenton Park building has been the home of Lifeline WA’s call centre for the past two years, and more than 91,000 calls, texts and chats have been answered inside its walls.

Lifeline WA’s new premises will bring staff and volunteer crisis supporters under the same roof for the fi rst time as the organisation faces growing demand.

Crisis supporters had 65,723 conversations by phone, text and chat in the 2021/22 fi nancial year, which was an increase of 31 per cent on the previous year.

In the past year Lifeline WA has also trained more crisis supporters than ever, with 275 fully accred-ited telephone crisis supporters now helping people in crisis, and another 34 crisis supporters in

training.Lifeline WA CEO Lorna

MacGregor said volunteers were the lifeblood of the organisation.

“Lifeline WA has answered an unprecedented number of calls in recent times and we are constantly striving to answer even more calls for help through our phone line, text or chat services which will now be delivered from our new home in Subiaco,” she said.

“We are very thankful to Uniting Church Perth City for allowing us to utilise their building in Shenton Park, and Lotterywest for providing funding that helped us to create a safe space for our crisis sup-porters to connect with Western Australians during their darkest moments.”

“We are grateful to all our com-munity fundraisers and corporate sponsors for supporting Lifeline WA to enable us to deliver more programs and answer more calls for help via phone, text and chat.”

Lifeline’s 24/7 telephone crisis support service is available on 13 11 14.

Crisis supporter Seth took the fi rst call at Lifeline’s new building in Subiaco this week.

A record-breaking 566 people took part in the inaugural UWA park run on Saturday July 30.

Event director Rodney Glossop had hoped the new weekly park run event would draw a reason-able crowd, but the crowd it drew turned out to be the larg-est at a park run in WA history.

“This huge turnout sets a new WA park run attendance record, easily eclipsing the previous record of 429 set back in 2016,” Rodney said.

“It was great to see so many UWA staff and students take part.

“The vibe and atmosphere were awesome, and the chat on social media has been a constant buzz since, with people sharing photos and stories of the ‘best launch event ever’.”

The morning commenced with a welcome to country from elder Richard Walley, and a special ‘Who’s Here’ game and poem from event director Rodney,

before 566 people ran, jogged, or walked the course through the UWA Campus.

The launch event was made possible thanks to 20 volun-teers, launch sponsors UniSport Australia, and UWA Sport, cafe sponsor The University Club, and Red Frogs.

The UWA park run will now be on every Saturday morning at 8am, providing the opportunity for students, staff and the wider community to walk, jog, run or volunteer.

Refer to the UWA parkrun website for full details: https://www.parkrun.com.au/universi-tyofwesternaustralia.

Kids want foreshore treesDespite a week’s delay in

holding the annual National School Tree Planting Day, due to inclement weather, students from Nedlands Primary School enthusias-tically helped plant native seedlings along the Swan River Foreshore at Point Resolution Reserve.

The students, along with City of Nedlands councillors Hengameh Amiry and Andrew Mangano and members of the Friends of Point Resolution, provided much appreciated environmental rehabilitation work.

While students were planting on the edge of the Swan River, they saw how tidal movement can damage the fragile river ecosystem.

City of Nedlands environ-mental conservation coor-dinator Vicki Shannon said the school students played a vital role by providing feet on the ground for projects such as this.

“These planting days are also a great opportunity to teach children how to care for and protect their natural environment and combat cli-mate change at a community level,” Vicki said.

“These projects also help students learn about the role of nature in providing habitat for native wildlife.”

The City of Nedlands is preparing a foreshore manage-ment plan for the Nedlands foreshore and is calling for community participation.

Focus groups will be held this-Saturday, August 13, from 2pm to 4pm, Wednesday, August 17, from 6pm to 8pm and Saturday, August 20, from 10am to 12pm.

For location information visit yourvoice.nedlands.wa.gov.au.

Schools Tree Day is also a great opportunity to teach children how to care for and protect their

natural environment.

UWA park run draws hundreds

A record-breaking 566 people attended UWA’s new weekly park run through the campus.

They are usually seen roosting in trees near water during the day, but when the sun sets, nan-keen night herons head for their fi shing grounds.

And if you wake up one morning to fi nd all the fi sh in your garden pond have disappeared, a night heron has prob-ably paid you a visit.

Named after the simi-larly coloured cotton fabric that was produced in China’s Nanking region, nankeen night herons enjoy the lake environment and anyone joining the monthly bird walk on Sunday August 21 may be lucky enough to spot one in the trees near the Herdsman Lake Discovery Centre.

The monthly walks, from 8 to 10am, are presented by volun-

teers from Birdlife WA and offer an introduction to birdwatching.

The morning begins with a presentation on Herdsman Lake birdlife, birdwatching techniques and how to use binoculars effectively. Then there will be a guided bird walk around the lake.

Binoculars will be provided for those who don’t own a pair.

The cost is $10, free for members of the WA Gould League and Birdlife Australia.

Booking is essential – go to www.gouldleague.com.au and click on Monthly Morning Birdwalk.

The Discovery Centre is accessed off the intersection of Selby and Flynn streets, Wembley.

“The SASP does not provide funding for a holistic approach that achieves the best outcomes for the local community inclusive of neighbouring streets,” Ms MacFie and Mr McDonald said in a joint email to other resi-dents this week.

“A further concern we have is that a number of these SASP funded projects just coincidentally happen to be on streets with high density western suburbs residential infi ll projects.”

They have asked the council administra-tion to break down the consultation results to street level.

“Different streets will have different self interests, aside from having a shared interest in achieving a good outcome for the whole community,” they said

“We hope you share that position regardless of which street you live in.”

Subiaco said all feedback would be assessed on the data and comments made by the com-munity.

A report – including a summary of that con-sultation, key issues raised for each section of the route and potential impact on surround-ing streets – would be prepared for a future council meeting.

Players managed some bowls in the latter part of last week and the results were:

Thursday 3 bowl pairs – 1 Renate Coote and Jenny Parker 43, 2 Andrew Dixon and Graeme Smith 32 and Simon Deering and Mark Marino 41.

Saturday RAC Men – 1 Frank Oliver, Geoff Parker and Geoff Boyd, 2 Warren Smith, Brian Dick and Jim Sweeney, 3 T. Laughton, Steve Parsons and Cliff Racey.

Saturday Ladies Group – Carol Marsh, Hennie M i s i a n i a n d N o e l a Woodward beat Elizabeth Arrow, Robyn Cornish and Dina Shah.

There wasn’t much bowl-ing last week, with the grass being too wet.

On Saturday, the greens were opened and the Saturday Fours had a good afternoon with lovely weather.

The winners were Marie Hagan, Helen Hood, Brian Page and Michael Hulbert.

The runners-up prize had to be awarded equally to two teams who had ex-actly the same score.

T h e y w e r e J o h n Solomon, Sheila Binns, June Worthington and

On another damp windy Thursday last week, when most sane people stayed home, Jim West and Glen Morey won their last fi ve ends but still could not catch John Hall and Rob Campbell going down 13-16.

The weather last week was still hampering social bowls, but a brave handful practised on Thursday.

The inclement weather also did not stop about 100 Christ Church Grammar School boys turning out during the week.

Heavy rain meant no bowls were possible on Thursday last week, but with fine weather and the control of John McCormack, eight bowlers turned out to do battle on Friday.

The winners, with a big margin, were Ken Brooke, Esther Scott, John Pole and Ron Day.

Saturday dawned fi ne and sunny and 39 bowlers graced the greens.

The big winners on the day, with a margin of 12 shots, were the team of John Pole, Bob Noll, Richard Verco and George Klug.

In second place, and with a margin of fi ve shots, were David Broadfoot, Alan Davison, Fran Farrell and Pek Goh and rounding out the top three were Ross Donald, John Shaw, Brian Burton and Ron Day with a margin of two.

Other winners, both with margins of one shot, were the teams of John McCormack, Celia Bakker, David Wood and Wendy O’Meehan along with Alan Pitman, Margi Jordan and Sue Harris.

Members are reminded to get their friends to-gether and put their names on the notice board for the cocktail party at 5pm on Wednesday, August 17.

M c G i l r a y a n d R o b Campbell won their last two ends to claim victory over Dave McGilray and John Hall 17-13.

On rink 3, Billy Gerlach and Jim West won their last four ends to blanket Max Hipkins and John Horsfall 23-17.

Ruth Lilly, along with Ian Lilly, Vicki Stratton, Toby Roney and Debbie Neaves.

When not playing, everyone was watching the bowls being shown from the Commonwealth Games.

It was exciting for Perth bowlers because half of the winning gold medal Ladies Pairs team is from Perth.

Kristina Kristic plays at Manning Bowling club.

The ladies playing at Innaloo on Tuesday started the fi rst game of the third series.

It was an inglorious start to the series, but we hope for better things.

The club’s AGM is set for Sunday August 21 at 2pm.

Nominations for the committee are open for all to volunteer.

It would be good to see a good attendance at the AGM.

On a lovely sunny af-ternoon last Saturday, 15 teams turned out for the Wright-Gridley trophy dou-bles competition, which was followed by a deli-cious buffet of fi nger food and sandwiches prepared by Julie and Val.

Nine teams played in the men’s division and six in the ladies.

The results were:M e n – 1 s t A n d r e

Gouttenoire and Arnaud Virassamy, 2nd George Wright and Mario Lifschitz, 3rd Walter Lubtschenko and Suren Appadoo.

Ladies – 1st Kim Douglas and Sue Dauth, 2nd Julie Wright and Val Gridley,3rd: Christine Savage and Elaine Stickle.

This Saturday, August 13, Subiaco will hold another round of the President’s Cup.

There is also social play every Wednesday.

Visitors are welcome.

A North Indian doctor who is renowned for his humanitarian work will address the Rotary Club of Freshwater Bay meet-ing on August 31.

Dr Sujit Brahmochary is a leader in global health.

He was a refugee as a child, then went on to qualify as a paediatrician and worked as Mother Teresa’s medical adviser in Kolkata early in his career.

With the encourage-ment of Mother Teresa, he founded the Institute for Indian Mother and Child (IIMC), a non-government organisation servicing the poor people in rural West Bengal.

IIMC grew from humble beginnings as a small medical clinic 31 years ago, to a far-reaching, multidimensional project which now encompasses eight medical outreach clinics, 30 schools, an or-

phanage, a handicapped residential centre and a day care centre.

It also includes seven community microcredit banks supporting more than 30,000 women to start small businesses of their own, women’s peace coun-cils, an NGO network, and crisis support in response to major disasters such as severe monsoonal fl ooding and the COVID pandemic.

Dr Brahmochary works from the project head-quarters with an army of local staff and volunteers, supported by several international volunteers each month, to deliver these important services to those who are among “the poorest of the poor”.

Their work relies on the goodwill of international donors and touches the lives of thousands on an ongoing basis.

A firm partnership between Australia and IIMC has been in place

since 2004. The IIMC has been regis-

tered as a Rotary Australia World Community Service project to allow donations to be tax deductible.

Dr Brahmochary will be speaking from 6 to 7pm in the community room at Moerlina School, 16 Brockway Rd, Mt Claremont.

The cost is $10. If you would like to at-

tend, please contact Di Collins [email protected] or phone 0432 538 075.

Learn about the ingen-ious historical sleuth-work that uncovered Bishop Matthew Hale’s original garden.

Bishop Hale was the first Anglican Bishop of Perth, from 1858 to 1875.

In 2008 historian John Viska bought a batch of letters concerning Joseph Wylde, a colonial nurse-ryman.

One item was part of an 1868 letter of introduc-tion on notepaper headed with a bishop’s mitre but missing the last page.

John recognised the handwriting on the let-

ter was identical to that of Bishop Hale.

H e t h e n r e -s e a r c h e d t h e bishop’s diaries (1857-1875), which had been donated to Hale School’s archives through the generosity of the Hale Family in England.

This search for the circumstances

of Wylde’s letter revealed that Hale was a keen gardener and the diaries provided an insight into his garden and gardening in the colony.

John will talk about his research on Wednesday August 24, at the Royal WA Historical Society, St ir l ing House , 49 Broadway, Nedlands.

Arrive at 10am for a 10.30 start.

John is the founding chairman of the WA branch of the Australian Garden History Society and author of A Guide to Conserving and Inter-preting Gardens in West-ern Australia.

He is currently co-editing Historic Gardens of Perth, European Settlement to Modernism.

In 2008 he received an award from the Heritage Council of WA for out-standing contribution to heritage in WA.

For further details about his talk, contact 9386 3841, [email protected], or go to www.histwest.org.au.

Indian doctor and humani-tarian Dr Sujit Brahmochary will give a talk in Perth on

I met my hus-band when I was just 17. He was 16 years older. He lied and told me he

was 30, but I found out several months later he was actually 33.

We have been married 13 years and have two beautiful children. I’ve struggled with the age difference. I feel people are always staring or making judgments about us. I have always looked young for my age. I am 31 and am still mistaken

for 21. Recently I have started

to have a problem with our relationship. I dwell on the fact that I was so young when our relationship started.

My husband is the kindest, sweetest guy, but I wonder what was he thinking when he fi rst pursued this relationship.

I look at people 14 years younger than me

as kids, and I’m not even the age he was when he met me. I’m worried I’m in a relationship that’s unhealthy.

Sylvia

Sylvia, this is more about lost youth than an unhealthy relationship.

The worst thing you are able to say about your husband is that 14 years ago he shaved three years off his age.

You married young. At 31 with two children, it almost seems possible

to regain the freedom of a 21-year-old. That’s the heart of the matter.

You can’t go back in time. If you do raise this issue, don’t tell your husband it’s his fault. Be honest. Tell him you feel you married too young and regret it.

The discussion begins there. You can’t go back, but you can add to your life the things you think are missing.

The play’s narrator

Tom (Joel Jackson) describes his family story as “… sentimental, it is not realistic. In memory everything seems to happen to music”.

Director Clare Watson’s stylish production pulls these elements into sharp focus.

It is sweetly sentimental, wholly without realistic pain or pathos, and everything happens to Tom O’Halloran’s live piano riffs – which, curiously, include Blondie’s Heart of Glass!

On Fiona Bruce’s imaginative set of arched scrims, the gentle family drama unfolds with Joel’s kindly Tom seamlessly moving from narrator to protagonist.

Mandy McElhinney plays the matriarch Amanda, a talkative faded southern belle now trapped in genteel poverty.

Her fl irtations with the gentleman caller are a joy, but when the three family members are together, there is little sign of the monstrous mother who forces Tom out of the house each night, or adds to Laura’s crippling anxiety.

The ethereal-looking Acacia Daken plays traumatised Laura as a sweet, quietly charming girl without any obvious sign of the oft-mentioned “cripple” (beyond once rubbing her hip).

She is not afraid of her mother, and not obsessive about her glass menagerie.

The most compelling performance is Jake-Fryer Hornsby as Jim, the gentleman caller. He injects energy and enthusiasm into this quietly withdrawn family. But even his swift departure lacks pathos.

Videographer Michael Carmody says the refrain of this production was always to “trust Tennessee”, but projected chapter headings, words like “terror” and, most bizarrely, a sexy naked torso representing a gentleman caller, seem not to trust in the writer’s words but rather instruct the audience.

Tom says, “I give you truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion,” and this is Clare’s version of Tennessee Williams’ most painfully autobiographical play – pleasant, fondly humorous and gently seductive.

REVIEW: SARAH McNEILL

The Glass MenagerieBlack Swan Theatre CompanyHis Majesty’s TheatreCloses August 21

Reg Cribb’s play The Return is returning to the stage for its 20th anniversary, taking on the name of the subsequent fi lm, Last Train to Freo.

Set on a train on its late-night journey from Midland to Fremantle, frustration, violence, prejudice and seduction are unleashed in the claustrophobic carriage.

It still has its original problem that the fi rst hour is a taut, assured drama of understated violence, subtle humour and controlled performances, which, in the fi nal 15 minutes, quickly evolves into melodrama.

But Reg, directing it for the fi rst time, keeps the psychological drama travelling at a determined pace.

Steve (Michael Abercromby) and Trev (Kaz Sas) are the two protagonist thugs.

The older, more mature and imposingly tall Steve dominates the carriage with his brash intelligence and threatening overtures.

Trev is sly, hyper-energetic and frighteningly unpredictable.

They are soon joined by an engaging young and pretty law student Lisa

(Chloe Hurst), a determined middle-aged cockney woman Maureen (Sandy Eldridge, strong) and a quiet, look-the-other-way writer (Josh Virgona). They each play out their revealing stories to a subtle but driving soundscape by Kat Shaw and Steven McCall.

The company had to cancel this week’s performances due to COVID, and will reschedule for August 23 to 27.

Local company Freeze

Frame Opera has worked

hard this year to raise

money to stage Puccini’s

La Fanciulla del West

with international baritone

Teddy Tahu Rhodes.

Freeze Frame founder

Harriet Marshall said the

company had been saved

by fundraising events and

the McCusker Charitable

Foundation.

“Lack of government

funding and audience size

restrictions have put a

lot of pressure on us this

year,” the Mt Claremont

soprano said.

Teddy and Harriet, who

won best opera performer

at this year’s Performing

Arts WA awards, will

perform with a cast of

21, including emerging

artists and young WAAPA

graduates.

Teddy said: “Freeze

Frame’s ideas of presenting

edited versions of operas

and of bringing more

experienced professionals

to perform with younger

singers is a great concept

and great for the artform.

It is such forward thinking.”

He said that at the age

56 he was happy to be

working with younger

artists, adding: “I assure you I’m not relaxing here. They are exceptional

singers and I’ve seriously got to up my game!”

Harriet said having Teddy in the rehearsal

room had lifted everyone.

Puccini’s musical vision of the American wild west,

La Fanciulla del West (The Girl of the West) is brought vividly to life by

Adam Mitchell who has transposed the frontier

town to the wilds of WA’s mining towns.

Of the performance venue in Claremont

Showgrounds, Adam said:

“The immense space of the pavilion gives us an

incredible opportunity

to take our audiences on journey across the vastness

and the grandeur of this

frontier. Puccini’s fi nest romantic score is given some irreverent West

Australian fl are.”Harriet added, “We are

rockin’ the high viz.”

■ Bullet Train (MA15+) ✪ ✪ ✪ ½ “The amount of casual charisma and commitment [Brad] Pitt is bringing to this is the one thing that actually differentiates this from being just another stylishly lit, stupid-hip snarkfest,” according to Rolling Stone. Variety agrees: “Bullet Train [wears] its pop style on its sleeve — a Kill Bill-like mix of martial arts, manga and gabby hitman movie infl uences, minus the vision or wit that implies.” Time is even harsher: “It’s a shrill, razor-shredded mess, a fringy assemblage of action, cartoony violence, and allegedly snappy dialogue that has the soporifi c effect of white noise.”

■ Nope (MA15+) ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ½ “Nope feels like that increasingly rare beast, an original blockbuster,” says Empire. “Unspooling a horrifi c parody of Hollywood’s hubris, it’s a crowd-pleaser that wonders about the cost of pleasing a crowd.” The New Yorker agrees: “Nope is one of the great movies about moviemaking, about the moral and spiritual implications of cinematic representation itself …”, while ABC (US) calls it “another game-changer from Jordan Peele, who pushes the limits of fun, fright and movie love to take horror to the next level”.

■ Oma Hendrika caught in a moment of confusion.

Raw account of family love

Among all the harrowing stories COVID precipitated there have been some with a merciful silver lining.

For Sydney fi lmmaker Jason van Genderen, it was having more time to spend with his family, particularly his ailing elderly mother Hendrika, lovingly known as Oma (Dutch for grandmother) – a sprightly, relentlessly positive woman, caught in snippets of van Genderen’s early video.

It was also the sense of community that people the world over found online.

Everybody’s Oma, his

93-minute documentary, is the bittersweet intersection of those two factors.

When van Genderen began posting home videos of Oma on his social media, in part to share his family’s experience with her worsening dementia, and in part to preserve memories of the woman he and his young family loved so dearly, they soon garnered a large and loyal following all over the world.

Mid-lockdown, when the family created a supermarket experience at home for Oma, partly to maintain her faculty for negotiating the shops, the video went viral, pinging around the world from Good Morning America to The Late Late Show with

James Corden.As the title suggests,

Oma became a grandmother fi gure to a legion of people – many of whom simply related to the struggle.

The story has an arc that van Genderen both anticipated but also couldn’t: How can anyone really be prepared for how diffi cult is it to care full time for someone with dementia?

What is particularly interesting is what happens when the internet suddenly becomes judgmental. There’s a subplot no one could anticipate – an unforeseen backlash.

That van Genderen tackles the story with such bracing honesty is compelling. Shot mostly on an iPhone, Everybody’s Oma is a smart, intimate, raw account of family and what it means to really love.

The craft of timber par-

quetry dates back to

16th century France, where

artisans used small blocks

of wood to create elaborate

geometric patterns.

Parquet fl oors became

so popular among the

French aristocracy that

they found their way into

the Palace of Versailles,

replacing marble that re-

quired constant washing.

Today they are known

also as Versailles fl oors or

“Parquet de Versailles”.

You can live like French

royalty – before all the

unpleasantness – in this

stylish two-storey home by

designer Alana John.

It has stained Tasmanian

oak parquet fl oors through-

out three bedrooms, an

offi ce and a common area

on the top fl oor.

A fl oating timber stair-

case winds down to the

atrium, where it is met by

travertine tiles.

The main living area

is nearby, centred on a

double-sided gas fi replace

in a column of Kimberley

stone.

From there it’s just a

few steps to the kitchen,

which has Gaggenau appli-

ances and an abundance of

Caesarstone bench space.

Passageways at both

ends of the kitchen lead

to a spacious butler’s pan-

try with a big recessed

wine rack, a wine fridge

and a long stainless-steel

bench.

There is another kitchen

on the covered patio,

including twin benches,

a built-in barbecue and

space for a fridge.

The alfresco area fl ows

through to a courtyard,

where a spa sits beneath a

towering frangipani.

The home, on a 450sq.m

site, has been updated

with new paintwork, solar

panels, an electric vehi-

cle (EV) charger, garage

storage, external remote-

controlled blinds and a

new Miele dishwasher.

Purr-fect opportunity“Our dream job could now be your dream job,” say the owners of Subiaco’s Cat Cafe Purrth, who are selling their business after six years. Pepi and Chris, also known as Cat Mum and Cat Dad, said they had loved operating the business. “It is incredibly rewarding and fulfilling, but it requires all of our attention,” they said. “We want to start a family now, and we don’t think it is fair or responsible of us to take attention away from our cats or our community to do so.” The cafe was a purr-fect opportunity for someone who was fed up with meaningless work and wanted to do something that had a genuine impact in the lives of countless people and animals. “Mental health is critical to the business model,” they said. “Regularly the cafe has had psychologists and physicians recommending their patients to visit.” The 12 rescue cats are not included in the sale of the Rokeby Road business. For more details, phone Jonathon Parker of Platinum Business Sales on 0417 140 882.

Developers miss outA three-bedroom and two-bathroom home at 30 Kirwan Street, Floreat, was knocked down to a fi nal bid of $1.7million at auction last weekend. Lee Riddell, of M Residential in South Perth, said three people put their hands up for the 905sq.m property. “It went down to the last two who slugged it out until the end,” Mr Riddell said. It went to a family from south of the river who were looking for a larger block. In West Leederville, developers

were keen to buy an 810sq.m property with subdivision potential but it went to a local family for $2.11million. The 1928 house at 104 Northwood Street was sold as a deceased estate. Craig Gaspar, of DUET Property Group, said bidding kicked off at $1.6million for the 2x1. Mr Gaspar said he didn’t think rising interest rates were having a negative impact on the local property market.

Le Fanu mysteryWho has bought Le Fanu, one of Cottesloe’s most talked about properties, on the corner of Marine

Parade and Salvado Street? It is expected the heritage-listed house on a 1429sq.m site will settle next week but the identity of the new owner remains a mystery. Agent Vivien Yap, of Ray White Dalkeith Claremont, has signed a “strict confi dentiality agreement”,

according to a Cottesloe watcher. Ms Yap declined to comment. Our money is on Andrew and Nicola Forrest because they own the two properties next door. In 2015, they paid $16.5million for heritage-listed Tukurua and built a family compound in front of it. In 2020, they bought the house next door at 66 Marine Parade for $5.5million. The POST approached the Forrests for comment.

Reverse jail breakMany people have gone to great lengths to get out of jails, but an east coast developer hopes people will pay good money to get into one. Blue Sox Group bought the heritage-listed Berrima Correctional Centre from the NSW governmentfor $7million in May, with plans to convert the decommissioned prison into a luxury hotel. The jail in the NSW Southern Highlands opened

in 1839 and is a fi ne example of 19th century public architecture. Australia’s fi rst serial killer, John Lynch, was hanged there in 1842. During World War I the 1.9ha site served as an internment camp for German prisoners. It later became a minimum security prison, which closed in 2020. State Planning Minister Anthony Roberts said the developer intended to turn the jail into a boutique hotel with a restaurant, art gallery and museum.

Beach, park and bridge

Properties in this cute

Swanbourne cul-de-sac

don’t come on the market

very often.

There have been just

fi ve sales in 23 years in

Korel Gardens, and it’s

obvious why it’s a tightly-

held location.

Walk to The Shorehouse

and the beach! Wander up

through Allen Park to Melon

Hill! Join the bridge club!

But you’ll also love liv-

ing in this two-year-old

smart home that has all the

mod cons you could want.

The owners are in the

building industry and

made sure only the best

tradespeople worked on

the property.

The action happens on

the upper fl oor – a kitchen

with a huge Essastone is-

land bench, a big balcony

off the living space, and

the main bedroom.

The kitchen has an Ilve

oven, room for a Vintec

wine fridge, and a capacious

butler’s pantry with fridge.

Underfl oor heating and

a gas fi replace in the living

space mean it will be cosy

when the ocean wind is at

full-strength in winter.

The balcony screens are

raised automatically when

it gets too windy, and the

main bedroom has planta-

tion shutters that open to

views of Allen Park.

Block-out blinds and

sheer curtains provide

versatility for the amount

of light and sun that gets in.

A handy laundry chute

in the ensuite means

clothes can be dropped to

the washing machine.

A studio-cum-offi ce on

the upper fl oor could be

turned into a fourth bed-

room.

As well as the double

garage, two guest cars can

fi t in the driveway, and up

to four more on the apron.

The owners are selling

to spend more time in

Margaret River.

Religious overtones

Fancy living in the house

closest to Rokeby Road

in old Subiaco?

You could, if you get to

the church on time.

This Churchill Avenue

property was built 97 years

ago and has been with the

current owner for 15 years.

“What attracted me was

the fact that it was the fi rst

Mormon church in WA,” the

owner said.

Heritage records show

the Church of Jesus Christ

of Latter-day Saints chapel

was built in the inter-war

free classical style under

the supervision of builder

Reuben Flynn, a young

Mormon convert.

The chapel was about

11m x 6.1m and could seat

up to 80 to 90 people at a

squeeze, the records stated.

Early photographs show

the facade was facebrick,

with prominent rendered

pilasters framing the front

entrance.

Mormons held baptisms

in the chapel after many

years of holding them in

the river.

The fi nal chapel meeting

was in 1958. The build-

ing was then sold to the

organisation that became

the Activ Foundation

and in the early 1990s it

was adapted as a private

residence.

The location is unbeat-

able, the original jarrah

fl oorboards are still there,

and light pours in through

the huge north-facing

windows.

A mezzanine above the

kitchen and communal

areas would be perfect as a

study or another bedroom.

The four bedrooms are

on either side of a hall past

the communal areas.

The back garden has

upper and lower court-

yards next to a double

carport accessed from a

lane.

The house is on a

334sq.m block.

■ The kitchen and living area open to a balcony with treetop views.

When the owners

bought an original,

early 1900s limestone cot-

tage as a deceased estate,

it had seen better days.

“We loved the heritage

features and we felt a

responsibility to bring it

back to its former glory,”

they said.

After buying it at auc-

tion in 2017 they engaged

Ben Hawkins, of Hawkins

Building Co, who has

experience in renovating

and extending older-style

buildings.

With guidance from

Ben, they were conscious

of ensuring the renovation

was in keeping with the

original character of the

building but with modern-

day comforts.

“We worked mainly with

the existing external walls

and swapped the bathroom

and kitchen so that the

kitchen is now connected

to the living area and en-

joys the rear garden/ocean

glimpses,” they said.

“We are proud of

restoring the property,

particularly the frontage

to maintain the history of

the suburb.”

A German stonemason,

who they found through

a neighbour, worked his

magic on the original brick-

work and limestone, some

of which is on show in the

undercroft cellar.

This level also has a bed-

room, bathroom and studio

that have been handy when

their daughter was living

at home.

“She loved being able

to come and go without

us hearing her,” they said.

“Now that she has

moved out, we have turned

the bedroom into a study.”

One of the best things

about the 367sq.m block

was the view of the trees.

“It’s like living in the

trees,” they said.

Agent Sarah Bourke said

the home ran off a 6.6 kWh

solar system, and had low

power bills.

■ This is why you get an architect ... instead of a fl at brick wall Matt Delroy-Carr raised some of the bricks as a feature.

■ Stepping stones lead to a secure front gate in this new low-maintenance home.

Designing three homes

– each with private

gardens – on a triangular

corner block stoked the

creative fires of MDC

Architecture.

The North Fremantle

firm says good design

should be egalitarian, and

is committed to making

architecture accessible to

everyone.

The team achieved that

with a new triplex develop-

ment on the corner of Nash

Street and Selby Street

overlooking the Montario

Quarter development.

MDC founder Matt

Delroy-Carr, who won

this year’s Emerging

Architecture Prize, said

the three homes had north-

facing living areas and

generous gardens.

The project was a labour

of love for the site owners, a

retired mining engineer and

his creative wife who has

a keen interest in design.

They developed a simi-

lar triplex previously in

Claremont, and based on

that success they decided

to do it again to help their

son and his wife get into

the western suburbs.

“They live in one of the

houses and love the lay-

out, the location and the

surprisingly quiet interior

spaces,” the engineer said.

“There is a huge shady

park around the corner,

it’s walking distance to

Shenton College and train

station, and opposite the

new Shenton Quarter

which will have a Coles,

cafes, restaurants and

many amenities.”

Bruce Construction

Design built all three low-

maintenance dwellings.

The only one for sale

is No. 22, which is on a

237sq.m site.

“We think this offers

great value, given that a

terrace across the road

with this much living space

but only a small courtyard

two years ago,” the owner

said.

“This has opened his eyes a lot,” Mr Ward said.

“A lot of people are going to suf-fer greatly if he returns to prison.”

The court heard Mr Harrison had served 13 months in jail in 2020 for driving offences.

Ms Oliver said she found the explanation for driving in Shenton Park ridiculous.

“If he liked the car what was he going to do? Drive it home?” she said.

She asked how Mr Harrison had got to Shenton Park.

Mr Ward said he’d taken public transport.

Ms Oliver told Mr Harrison it was his 11th conviction for no authority to drive, and his fi fth for driving while under fi nes suspension.

She said the offences dated back to 2015.

“Driving is not a right, it’s a privilege,” she said.

“You continue to drive with complete disregard to the orders of the court.

“I can’t be satisfi ed you will be unlikely to commit this offence again.”

She made Mr Harrison eligible for parole.

Mr Harrison held his heads in his hands as he waited to be taken into custody.

• From page 11

Man jailed for 16th no-licence offence

Subi spends $20,000 shopping for advice

pedestrians last August after a seven-month tussle between the council and property owner (Hay day for high street, POST, August 28, 2021) .

Sanur said the shop build-ings were at risk of collapse and needed to be demolished – which led to the shutdown of the street to traffi c.

The council disagreed and ordered Sanur to repair the buildings.

Sanur appealed to the State

Administrative Tribunal but lost the case after a three-day hearing.

It then lodged plans for a $140million redevelopment of the site with the State Development Assessment Unit last Christmas.

To build the 12-storey of-fi ce block with ground-fl oor shops, Sanur wants to build on a section of a lane (Burley Lane) at the rear, owned by the council.

That approval has not been forthcoming and the standoff

has attracted the attention of Planning Minister Rita Saffi oti.

She asked David Caddy, chairman of the WA Planning Commission, to intervene and try to mediate with the two sides (Caddy in the middle, POST, April 2).

Subiaco said: “To date, the City has not received any new information from the Department of Planning … regarding any application for development approval of Sanur’s properties on Hay Street.”

• From page 11

condition surveys will be of-fered to surrounding proper-ties before major construction works start, which documents the existing condition of a property to determine if con-struction works cause changes to properties.”

Two alternative proposals have been designed and of-fered to Main Roads by ar-chitect Murray Slavin, which residents say have not been properly considered.

One would take cyclists through the town centre away from the reserve between houses and the tracks and reconnect with the proposed PSP south of Tydeman Road.

“This would be a similar treatment to the PSP route

through Subiaco town centre,” Mr Slavin said.

The other would take cyclists down Bracks Street and into Fremantle on the west side of the freight line.

This would provide access for future development of the Port Beach industrial area, Mr Slavin said, adding that it would provide a dedicated speed cycleway for commut-ers without confl icting with pedestrians and social cyclists.

A Main Roads spokesperson said: “Alternative alignment options have been reviewed and assessed by the project team against the technical criteria, which included consideration of standards, constructability, safety, and connectivity.

“It was concluded that these alignments were not feasible, and consultation has contin-ued.”

They added that construc-tion was due to start in 2023.

“Design is progressing with a fi nal PSP design anticipated later this year,” they said.

“We will be contacting resi-dents to continue the design discussion.”

Ms Deighan said: “We have also reached out to City of Fremantle, councillors, members of State and Federal Parliament.

“It is disappointing to report on the lack of even response to our communications, let alone interest in the issue.”

Everybody wants a perfect ending. No matter how much we enjoy a fi lm or a book, it’s ruined if the last pages disap-point.

We want footballers’ careers to end on their own terms, not on a call from the coach or the team’s doctor. We love poetic, fantastic last acts, to see players go out strong.

Every year football loses some of its champions. This year two monuments to the game –Josh Kennedy and David Mundy – have pulled the pin on their careers.

Only one of them, “Barra” Mundy, can fi nish with one last compelling act and be a part of a Dockers premiership team this year, a feat which JK has already achieved with West Coast’s victory in 2018.

JK played his last game at Optus Oval on Sunday. More than 50,000 footy fans rocked up, and though West Coast lost to Adelaide, Kennedy served up an unforgettable eight-goal performance.

Mundy will play on until the end of the season, and all Dockers have their fingers crossed for a storybook fi nish.

Barra is the elder, at 37; Kennedy is 34.

Barra, at 192cm, looks up to JK, all of 196cm.

They came to their clubs by way of unusual transfers.

Fremantle picked up Barra when the Western Bulldogs traded pick 19 in the 2003 draft for Stephen Koops, who had played 78 games for the Dockers. Wow, what a deal.

JK was Carlton’s pick four in 2005, but found himself back home in WA as a part of the deal that saw Chris Judd at the Blues.

Barra started at halfback and

grew into a strong and explosive midfi elder. JK was always a key forward.

Both approached retirement as they played their football, impeccably.

Most of us don’t appreciate how diffi cult it can be for a player to know when to quit.

You don’t want to leave any-thing in the tank, but you don’t want to hobble through a late career that diminishes your legacy, like Wayne Carey at Adelaide and Dermott Brereton at Collingwood and Sydney. I reckon Dean Cox went one year too long at the Eagles.

Though JK was part of the Eagles’ last two dismal years, such is his status as a legend of the game and a future Hall of Famer his legacy was never even slightly tarnished.

Even if the Dockers don’t win the fl ag this season – the most likely outcome after some insipid recent performances – Barra’s form has, if anything, enhanced his reputation.

Like JK, he is heading for the Hall of Fame.

I would have loved him at centre half-forward, with his raw power and his wonderful foot-passing skill, in my time at Subiaco.

Put him alongside Haydn Bunton, Cammy Blakemore, Reg Hampson and Peter Metropolis, and that’s a gravy-train for any forward.

Barra made the All-Australian team in 2015, won a Doig Medal, a Ross Glendinning Medal and was Fremantle captain in 2016. He has played 372 games and should, when his fi nal siren-

sounds, be at least equal eighth all-time and the most-capped player ever to play all his games for a non-Victorian team.

Just thinking about the fre-quent fl yer points he’s accrued over 900,000km for Freo makes me green with envy!

JK went All-Australian three times, won Coleman Medals in 2015 and 2016, a premiership in 2018, was seven times the Eagles’ leading goalkicker, and booted a total of 723 goals (712 in 271 games for West Coast, 11 in 22 games for Carlton where he also pinch-hit in the ruck).

It’s far and away the most ever for the Eagles, scored at an elite rate of 2.64 goals per game.

Both players have been noble standard-bearers for their clubs.

There’s little doubt about their leadership qualities, both able to lift their less talented teammates and carry them along for the ride.

Great players shouldn’t be shamed for having a hard time letting go. Sometimes they see the uncertainty of transition coming.

When I got my marching or-ders from David Parkin at 32, it wasn’t easy. While I had a good job at the Daily News, there was doubt about what football retirement would bring, excit-ing in one way but scary as hell in another.

Perhaps the worst thing for JK or Barra would have been to not understand when time was running short.

JK felt it in his body, mainly his knee.

“My knee is my big reason for retiring,” he said last week.

“I think my drive to play is still there, but I’m realistic – my body is not going to be able to take another season.

“To be able to farewell the West Coast supporters and say thank you for the incredible support over the years will be the perfect way to fi nish my career.”

All class.

I think most of the good judges agree JK was just about done, but the announcement of Barra’s retirement came as a bit of a shock, particularly as he said recently that he was thinking that he might go around again.

“I will stay until they kick me out,” he said.

There has been nothing awry with the Mundy fi gures in 2022. He has averaged 22.2 disposals and four clearances, which is not shabby at all.

If he wanted to continue he certainly could. Perhaps fi lling a role off a halfback fl ank for, say, North Melbourne, as Luke Hodge did for Brisbane.

And there’s not the slight-est doubt he could have gone around again at Freo. If I were them, I would have kept him in harness right up until I couldn’t feel a pulse.

But if Barra has been “pushed” into retirement, you’d never know it. No weepy fare-well, no hint of a stiff upper lip.

“I’m incredibly proud,” he said. “I’ve been living my dream now for 19 years and I’ve loved every bit of it.

“Not all of it has been easy, there’ve been quite a few hard and emotional parts of it, but I’ve been able to grow as a person and as a player throughout my time at Fremantle and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.”

And so two great crowd fa-vourites and warriors head for the hills, sunsets and rocking chairs, enjoying a barbecue while sipping a cool one.

JK, the golden boot with the stuttering kicking style and unerring accuracy all his own. Goodbye to those classic hang-ers, usually reserved for the most diffi cult packs. Goodbye to those lightning leads. Goodbye to his panache, fl air and cour-age.

Barra, that huge stick of human gelignite at centre bounces. Goodbye to his impec-cable foot-passing skills that had Matthew Pavlich drooling. Goodbye to that wonderful kicker of clutch goals that win matches. Goodbye to his un-questioned talent, valour and commitment.

Goodbye to two trim and tailored fi gures who lit up a football fi eld as well as Astaire and Sinatra could work a noisy room, with the cool lightness and polish that made the dif-fi cult look pedestrian.

Only the tuxedos were miss-ing.

THE SPORTING

Excited students ready for waves

Close to 1000 students from around the State will take part in the WA School Surfi ng Titles over the next two weeks.

Margaret River Senior High School has a stranglehold on the event and will be trying for a record 17th consecutive win.

Surfi ng WA events manager Justin Majeks said excitement was building in classrooms as students don their wetsuits and compete in WA’s biggest surfi ng competition.

“The SunSmart School Surfi ng Titles offers a unique opportu-nity for students, both male and female, to surf and bodyboard with their schoolmates and peers in a safe, relaxed, and fun environment,” Justin said.

“The school surfing titles continue to grow in popularity year on year.

“With so many schools now offering surfi ng as part of their physical education or outdoor education programs, students get to take what they learn at school to the beach.”

The winning schools will qualify to compete against the best surfi ng schools from around the country at the

Australian Junior Surfi ng Titles in Queensland in November.

Students will compete in teams of two, lining up in junior under-16 and senior under-19 with divisions catering for boys and girls in both surfi ng and bodyboarding.

Margaret River Senior High’s surf academy boasts a swag of highly accomplished surfers including State champions Ruby Berry, Olive Hardy and Ace Flynn.

Despite Margaret River’s domi-nance over the years, many other regional and metropolitan high schools are tipped to challenge them in 2022, including schools from as far north as Geraldton and as far south as Esperance.

WA’s Bronte Macaulay has moved one step closer to re-qualifi cation for the champion-ship tour.

Only fi ve women from the

challenger series (CS) get a spot on the elite tour and following a solid quarter-fi nals fi nish at the US Open of Surfi ng, Macaulay is sitting in seventh spot on the rankings.

Only three events left on the 2022 calendar after the cancel-lation of the France CS.

The Portugal, Brazil and Hawaiian events are presently listed as tentative so there’s a question mark over whether they will take place.

I was delighted to have so many drawings this week from so many of our younger artists.

There were loads of colourful kites flying across my desk, by adventurous artists like Elia, 4, Vinuli, 5, and Archie, 7.

One of our main winners this week also drew a kite.

Brendan Yew, 8, from East Perth, did a colourful crayon drawing of a kite floating across a bright blue sky. With all the birds and butterflies, there is a lovely sense

of movement in the work.Our other winner is Eva Lau,

9, from Claremont, who took on the great challenge of perspective. It’s an interesting bird’s eye view of a bedroom with lots of detail and interesting angles.

I loved Reggie’s shooting star, Lucas’s dragon, Elise’s pirate ship and Dorothy’s very green Doodlebug.

Keep up the good work, kids, and remember, we love lots of colour and detail!

Tongue twister Mary made a mistake marrying that monster.

KIARA ELLIS was surprised to discover that her young son, Ryland, thought his dad spent two weeks of every month living at the airport.

Every couple of weeks, his dad was driven from Subiaco to the airport and a fortnight later they’d pick him up from there. Where did he sleep while he stayed there, Ryland wanted to know?

Ryland’s dad was a FIFO (Fly In Fly Out) worker at an iron ore mine up north and Kiara realised that though he spoke to the family every night, they rarely talked about what his job was.

So Kiara wrote a book called FIFO and Me.

In it, a dad explains where he flies to and what he does, with colourful illus-trations by Andrew McIntosh.

There are maps, and pictures of dig-

gers, dump trucks and trains, and an idea of what iron ore is used for.

When the Ellis family was invited to a family day up at the mine, Kiara discovered how many mums worked there too. So she wrote a second book, FIFO and Me: Mum edition.

“I thought it was really important for our daughter, Harper, to understand that this is not just an industry for men,” Kiara said.

Kiara said the impact of the book had been really important for both mums and dads, who now send photos of trucks and diggers and explain to their kids what they’re doing every day.

There’s a book for both Mum and

Dad FIFO workers.

THE ROSSEN REPORTSaturday 13 August 2022

Fixed Terms Out – Pets InThe changes would;1. Eliminate an owner’s right to terminate a lease2. Mandate pets being allowed in rental properties3. Permit tenants to carry out modifcations without owner’s consent

“Approximately 30% of house-holds in WA rent privately owned properties and most leases are for a fixed term”, says Rossen.

“This gives the landlord and the tenant certainty about how long they can stay in the prop-erty.

The new legislation would eliminate fixed term leases with potential adverse consequences for both tenants and landlords.

Tenants like the certainty of

fixed term leases and owners like the flexibility to choose new tenants if they so wish after the fixed term has expired”.

Currently, landlords can de-cide to have a tenant that does not have pets.

The new laws would mean that all landlords would have to ac-cept tenants’ pets.

A further disincentive to own a rental property.

But there is worse news for landlords.

Tenants would be permitted to carry out certain alterations to the property without the land-lords’ consent.

The upshot? Fewer properties for lease and higher rents for tenants.

All in all, it’s well intentioned legislation but a lose/lose out-come for owners and tenants.

By GREG ROSSEN

Landlords must accept pets.

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for

$475,000 in 2007. A house bought at the 2007 median price

of $475,000 would need to be selling for $669,538 in order to

adjust for inflation.

Landlords face tough new tenancy laws

“The proposed new WA Ten-ancy Laws will exacerbate the rental crisis” says Greg Rossen, Former President of REIWA.

“In the Perth Metro Area, the vacancy rate is hovering around an all time low of 0.8%.”

There is a chronic undersup-ply, with only 1,760 vacant rental houses and units available out of a total pool of 220,000.

WA being a resource based economy and now that the borders are open, workers are flooding into the state seeking the well paid jobs on offer. There is more demand than ever for rental properties.

Rents have already risen in the last year by 7.5% to a median of $521 per week.

The proposed new regulations will discourage investors from purchasing rental properties and make it more likely that landlords will sell to get out of the market.

Reduced supply will cause rents to rise even more rapidly.

A tale of two citiesPerth has been one of the

poorest performing capital cities in Australia.

The median house prices have barely inched up in the last 15 years.

In December 2007, Perth’s median house price was

$475,000. Fifteen years later, it is now

$538,000. Sydney, by contrast, had a

median price of $553,000 in December 2007 and by March 2022 it had reached a stagger-ing $1,590,000.
