Cops rescue minister‘Very humbling’ – Tony Buti

New renders of the Chellingworth development show a widened public plaza, but more apart-ments and a taller tower have

worried nearby residents.

Dr Buti has taken time out from his West Perth workplace to walk the 1000km track, which he is due to fi nish after 18 days on July 22.

A new image has emerged of the Forrests’ proposed hotel on the Cottesloe beachfront, show-ing it wider than the footprint of the Indiana next door.

One of Andrew Forrest’s lieutenants was out selling the controversial idea of a hotel to a conference of developers when the image was shown for the fi rst time.

Fiveight’s John Meredith made a presentation at an Urban Development Institute of Australia event late last month.

Mr Forrest wants to refur-bish and extend the 26-year-old Indiana and build a 31-room hotel between it and Marine Parade.

Despite announcing plans in December, Fiveight still has not submitted a development application to its landlord, Cottesloe council.

The council would need to agree to any changes in the lease between it and Mr Forrest’s fi rm (Cott holds veto over Indiana,POST, December 11, 2021).

“There is probably no other proposed development in our State that contains the level

of public benefi t and fi nancial contribution as the Indiana proposal,” Mr Meredith said.

This includes new public toi-lets and change rooms, with a perpetual fi nancial commitment to operations by Fiveight – al-leviating the Town of Cottesloe

Unanswered questions surround the supersized Chellingworth development in Nedlands ahead of a crucial meeting this Friday.

The consortium behind the three-tower project is trying to leverage last year’s approval into an even bigger iteration, with 137 extra apartments, much less commercial space, and four more storeys in the central tower.

In an open letter to his neigh-bours this week, Dalkeith Road resident Ken Perry said the new plans would result in “a disaster” for Nedlands.

“This has got to affect park-ing and traffi c but there’s no analysis,” he said.

“There must be a total fresh look at all the facts because so much has changed.”

The new Chellingworth would feature 368 apartments and a hospitality precinct at an esti-mated total cost of $500million – $180million more than the last version.

A market for

menace?I agree with Chris Hassell

(White menace for black cock-ies, Letters, July 9), regarding corella numbers being a big problem for our endangered black cockatoos in the western suburbs.

Rather than culling (killing), is there something else that the government can do?

These birds are worth a lot of money on the black market overseas.

To put a stop to poaching, and to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak, could they be trapped and sold by the government?

The resultant revenue might then be used for native animal conservation.

K. HoldenOnslow Road, Shenton Park

So the Western Metropolitan Regional Council has surveyed people who’ve used Verge Valet and discovered (surprise, sur-prise) that two-thirds of them were happy to use Verge Valet (Survey reveals approval, Letters, June 25).

What about surveying all the people who don’t want to use it because it doesn’t provide any opportunity for community recycling?

Mr Frodsham, CEO of the WMRC, acknowledges that Verge Valet is designed to deal only with junk, so it’s clear that the

councils have explicitly chosen to remove the community re-cycling which everyone loved.

I’m not surprised that Verge Valet collects less junk than the previous scheme – you’re likely to get more people taking junk directly to the tip or just storing it up at home for longer.

It’s inevitable that a more restrictive scheme will collect less junk precisely because it is more restrictive, but this doesn’t mean it’s better or more popular with the community.

Russell JonesLuth Avenue, Daglish

Verge of a foregone conclusion

Councillors ‘insensitive’ over hospice plansNedlands council voted re-

cently against development of the Tawarri Hot Pool site … a belated, meaningless gesture that subsequently allows the State to proceed with the pro-posal without any input from the council.

The council can now deny any accountability for the fi nal outcome.

Its own decisions (seemingly infl uenced at the time by per-ceived lucrative rate returns) facilitated inappropriate com-mercial development in a quiet residential neighbourhood and on land it should never have asked to be removed from A-class reserve.

Yet it would deny seven very sick and dying children the opportunity to spend their re-maining time in a beautifully sited hospice in Allen Park, Swanbourne.

Yes, fi re safety is a valid con-cern (Hospice hits fi ery roadblock, POST, July 2) and should be addressed.

But councillor Andrew Mangano’s stated fears of pos-sible bombings because of its proximity to Campbell Barracks, and councillor Rebecca Coghlan’s protests over the “travesty” of the $25million cost (that Nedlands is not footing) or the possibility of sick children not actually dying in the facil-ity would be laughable if they were not so highly insensitive and sad.

I suggest anyone opposing the hospice plans should actu-ally visit these children and their families, because they are among those most in need of your protection and support. Their courage amidst their pain and adversity may just inspire you.

Elected members have the power, but in this particular case they should let that power be tempered with compassion.

That is how true leaders build a better world.

Irene TanMelvista Avenue, Nedlands

Planners deserve more respectIn response to comments from

Cambridge mayor Keri Shannon (Shannon to turn back time, POST, July 2), I must say that the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) champions good planning outcomes for our communities and supports the planners who make it happen.

Good planning at its core is about creating healthy, resilient, and pros-perous communities for at least the next hundred years.

Achieving that goal is a complex process performed by highly trained professionals and requires in-clusive and respectful relation-ships between all stakeholders.

We remain concerned about the perception of the role of planners within many local governments, leading to the type of contempt and disrespect reported.

This behaviour continues to take an enormous toll on

the individual planners who often bear the impact of deci-sions external to their power or control.

It is therefore pleasing to see the State Government attempt-ing to address the problem in its

Local Government Reforms, includ-ing through the introduction of an inspectorate to investigate and oversee complaints.

A t t h e s a m e time, PIA is work-ing with the WA Local Government Association to im-prove standards through planning

education and awareness.Local council behaviour sets

the tone for debate in the com-munity.

Let us follow the example of local governments that are in the news for the right reasons.

Vicki Lummerpresident, Planning Institute

of Australia WA

The POST’s balanced and well-written report about the fi re risk at the proposed chil-dren’s hospice site in Allen Park, Swanbourne (Hospice hits fi ery roadblock, July 2) has revealed that a great project is being planned for the wrong location.

Despite two reports by the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) exposing the site as highly unsafe for such a develop-ment, Health Department offi cials remain adamant the project can be pushed through (Hospice changes ‘not needed’, POST, July 9).

Do the health offi cials expect they can bully the State’s own experts, DFES, into approving

plans that breach State policy guidelines for vulnerable de-velopments in fi re risk areas?

It seems they will try: “We will continue to work with DFES and develop the bushfi re management plan UNTIL it is approved …”

Does this mean they will also bully the City of Nedlands and Department of Defence by forc-ing them to destroy remnant coastal bushland to make a fi re-break on neighbouring A-class reserves?

Nedlands councillors have been unfairly ridiculed al-ready for their responsible approach in resisting pressure to support a development ap-plication that lacks suffi cient information.

Local residents have been aware from the outset of the dangers and diffi culties of this site, but have been bullied and shamed into silence by the major proponent.

Already an estimated $30mil-lion of donated funds and taxpayers’ money has been committed to a site that should have been determined much earlier to be unsafe.

Just what is driving the Child and Adolescent Health Service to use the site in Allen Park above other safer and more accessible locations?

Two teenagers appeared in court on Wednesday after a weekend birthday party ended with blood on a council-run hall in West Leederville.

Up to 300 people were leav-ing the Leederville Town Hall on Cambridge Street last Friday night when police responded to calls from the public just before 11pm.

Callers reported about 20 people fi ghting outside the hall.

Police are investigating if the violence had its genesis in a confrontation between one of the aggressors and a guest in the Perth CBD earlier that night.

The hall had been hired for a 16th birthday party.

Police said it would be al-leged a 16-year-old boy was slashed across the cheek and nose with a machete.

It’s alleged another boy, 16, was hit on the head and arm with a machete; a 15-year-old boy was hit on the head with

an unknown weapon; and an 18-year-old man’s head was stomped on.

Connor Joel McLeod-Kandiah, 18, of Osborne Park, and Dylan Davies, 18, of Mt Hawthorn, both appeared in Perth Magistrates Court

on Wednesday on charges of grievous bodily harm.

A Banksia Grove boy, 17, and a 16-year-old boy were due to ap-pear in Perth Children’s Court.

The council was left with a big clean-up operation at the hall.

Police say they have dropped a criminal complaint from new Curtin MP Kate Chaney about stolen election campaign signs.

This week police said a member of Ms Chaney’s team asked them to discontinue the complaint, which was made in April.

Ms Chaney and a Dalkeith resi-dent complained about at least 40 stolen signs (Police probe Chaney sign thefts, POST, April 23).

A Dalkeith resident alleged he saw a man retreat to a white

van outside his Riley Road home after a sign was stolen in April.

The man allegedly told the resident: “You don’t want a Labor government, do you?”, before he drove off.

Ms Chaney’s campaign said each corfl ute sign cost about $20.

Police had identifi ed a Cottesloe man of interest who hired a van from Perth airport, and were try-ing to execute a warrant at the man’s home.

CCTV eyes teenage thugs in Claremont

Money has been poured into new, high-definition CCTV cameras in Claremont, which police say will help solve an increase in crime around the town’s shopping centre. 

Wembley Senior Sergeant Peter Gilmour said police had been seeing an increase in retail theft.

“Claremont seems to be a focus, whether because of the shops being targeted or the ease of opportunities to get on public transport,” he said.

“There is also a group of kids causing issues in the Claremont area, hanging around in groups and intimi-dating people.

“We were working with shop owners to address that type of behaviour, but now that behaviour has turned into criminal activity.”

Snr Sgt Gilmour said of-fi cers would be increasing patrols in the area but CCTV was a key measure to iden-tify and prevent criminal activity.

Last month, Claremont

council approved $100,000 to update old CCTV cameras and add new ones to key areas. 

The Town’s community safe-ty manager, John Balcombe, said some of the old cameras had been around since 1986 and the new camera spots would be chosen based on gaps in the existing cov-erage. 

“I suppose it’s good timing, with what’s been hap-pening around the place, that they’re all coming online at the same time,” M r B a l c o m b e said. 

“It’s a project that we’ve been working on for 18 months and thankfully the council has supported this for our community safety plan and our CCTV strategy.”

Forty-eight new CCTV cam-eras have been installed and another 21 will be fi tted at the end of the month.

A control computer at the council chambers can show all cameras at once or zoom in on a particular camera if offi cers want to get a closer

look at something happening there.

The Town’s budget also approved continuing the seven-day roster for commu-nity safety offi cers, who earn about $65 an hour and work between 6am and midnight. 

They were intro-duced in the town in October 2021.

“If they see any-thing antisocial, obviously they’ve got their body cam-eras, they’ve got dashcams in their vehicles, they can gather evidence such as antisocial behaviour and we can relay that to the

police,” Mr Balcombe said. Claremont mayor Jock

Barker said the town was committed to safety and crime prevention and would continue to work with local police.

The POST reported on a string of thefts that hit Claremont over a period of weeks last month (Police Beat, POST July 2).

Since then, police allege that a teenager was robbed by another juvenile at Hungry Jacks last Sunday afternoon.

“I’m going to run your pock-ets,” the aggressor allegedly told the other boy about 2pm.

His target said he only had a phone on him, before seeking refuge in Hungry Jacks.

The aggressor allegedly told him to hand over a chain from his neck, but he refused.

It is alleged the other boy said, “Give us something,” and he handed over $20 before running from Hungry Jacks and catching a train home.

Police said a boy was to appear in Perth Children’s Court next month on assault and aggravated robbery charges.

Last Saturday two juveniles were menaced at Claremont train station.

Police said they were ap-proached by two other boys; one pushed a juvenile against a wall and took his iPhone out of his pocket.

The aggressor returned the phone, then asked the victim about his shoes before walk-ing away.

Police said that all of the alleged aggressors and vic-tims were western suburb residents.

A man-made rainbow has been drawing spectators in North Fremantle.

The Port Beach Sand Nourish-ment Project started last week and will see up to 150,000 cubic metres of sand sprayed onto the beach.

Fremantle council said a bad year could see the beach lose up to 40,000CM of sand.

It said “rainbowing”, the term for the spraying, was dredged sand and water being pumped through a hose with a nozzle

into a high arc onto the shore.Fremantle mayor Hannah

Fitzhardinge said the work would provide a buffer to protect land assets against the effects of coastal erosion while also providing public amenity.

“In a report released by the State Government in 2019 Port Beach topped the list of WA’s coastal erosion hotspots,” Ms Fitzhardinge said.

“The design of the Port Beach sand nourishment program has been developed to provide a wide enough beach so that,

with the anticipated move-ment of the placed sand, there will still be a suffi cient buffer against the erosion caused by severe storms.”

The rainbowing vessel is a 1200-tonne hopper barge called the ModiR.

It has a Danish fl ag but is based in Grenada, Spain.

It is 63.4m long and 12.8m wide.Fremantle council said it had

been based in Perth working for Cockburn Cement in Cockburn Sound.

The ModiR will head next to

NSW but return to WA in May to complete the remainder of the sand nourishment project.

About 30,000CM of sand was rainbowed last week and this week, with the rest of up to 120,000CM to be done next year.

Mosman Park council told its residents the work could have an impact on Mosman Beach.

“Some of the placed sand is expected to migrate northwards over time,” the council said.

“You may notice water dis-colouration but it’s still OK to go into the water.”

A man alleged to have kid-napped a nine-year-old girl from a Doubleview playground has faced court.

Ashley James Bropho, 39, was charged with two counts of indecent dealings with a child under 13 at about 10.30 on Tuesday morning.

He was also charged with kid-napping and procuring a child to engage in sexual behaviour.

The girl is alleged to have es-caped from a Sackville Terrace house nearby when a visitor came to the door.

When Mr Bropho faced court the next day the magistrate ruled

he be kept in custody and that his name could be made public, against arguments by his lawyer.

Police said the girl alerted family about the alleged offences.

On Wednesday magistrate Peter Malone dismissed a bid by Mr Bropho’s lawyer, Elliott Tilbury, to have Mr Bropho’s name suppressed.

“There’s a real risk of an unfair trial,” Mr Tilbury said.

He said he was worried about another criminal case involving someone else, but in which the allegations were “quite similar”.

Mr Malone said it was “noto-riously the case” that alleged child sex offenders were named

in the media.“Juries can be appropriately

directed,” Mr Malone said.Mr Tilbury wanted to apply

for home detention bail for Mr Bropho, and said he had a carer.

“I do agree the charges are serious … prison is inevitable if he is convicted,” Mr Tilbury said.

Police prosecutor Senior Constable Mark Williams said: “Bail is opposed in the strongest possible terms.”

Mr Malone said he would not be able to consider home deten-tion bail without a report.

Mr Bropho is next due in court on July 27.

Child ‘kidnapped’ from park

Local people leapt at the chance to have input into Federal issues at the first town hall meeting held by their new Curtin MP.

Independent Kate Chaney chaired a public forum in Floreat this week to talk about the draft law for a new anti-corruption body, her platform unfettered by party policy.

A sell-out crowd, 150 people, packed the Boulevard Room of the Cambridge Library to hear from Ms Chaney, former Supreme Court justice Carmel McLure and barrister Sam Vandongen SC.

Many in the audience came forward with informed com-ments and questions, and were encouraged to interact with the panellists.

“We had no idea how many people would be interested in spending their Tuesday night talking about integrity,” Ms

Chaney said. “We’re a full house tonight

and there is a high level of interest in this issue.”

She said that she had met this month with the Attorney General who requested a sum-mary of the forum.

After two hours, Ms Chaney summarised clear points made during discussion that she would take with her to Canberra. 

That included that a Federal corruption watchdog needed teeth so that its fi ndings did not end up gathering dust in some backroom of Parliament.

“The big takeaway for me is how do we ensure that the recommendations are acted on, especially those that are at a systemic level, rather than in relation to an individual and referring them to prosecution,” she said.

“I would like to help hold government to account on actu-ally delivering on the recom-mendations.

“There is defi nitely a strong interest in taking a collabora-tive and inclusive approach to developing a model that we are happy with.” 

Ms McLure, who is a mem-ber of the National Integrity Committee, praised the broad-

scoped model of an anti-corrup-tion commission developed by independent MP for Indi Helen Haines and used in NSW. 

Ms Chaney said it would be the model that the Federal Labor Government used as a starting point for developing

their own. Ms McLure said that in con-

trast, Scott Morrison’s failed National Integrity Commission was “the narrowest scheme or model anywhere that I had seen”.

Dacks thief strikes again

Another tenant has fallen victim to laundry crime at the State-owned Wandana fl ats in Subiaco.

Residents were urged to contact the Communities Department when they saw or heard disruptive or anti-social behaviour at their complex.

“Without evidence from independent witnesses, it’s hard to take action,” said Nick Richmond, from Communities’ Disruptive Behaviour Unit.

“We do rely on information from neighbours … it’s very important we get witnesses.”

The latest victim of laundry theft is a man who lives on a disability allowance.

He discovered a pair of new trousers that cost him $40, a coat and other items of his clothing had been taken from a washing machine in the com-plex’s communal laundrette last month.

A volunteer support worker who helps the man brought him trousers and clothes from their own home.

It is the second time in recent weeks his belongings have been stolen in this way and he is not alone.

A woman living in one of the 245 units at the Department of Communities-owned complex wept uncontrollably when her late mother’s clothes were taken from a washing machine when she left the laundry area (Two washers for 300 people,POST, June 18).

Eddie setEddie set to fly at GamesA fourth stint at the Common-

wealth Games is more excit-ing than ever, Christ Church Grammar School hockey coach Eddie Ockenden says. 

He is off to headline for the Kookaburras in the upcoming Games in Birmingham. 

They will be his fourth, having played in 2010, 2014, and 2018 when the team took home the gold medal.

“Any tournament you play for Australia, we really love it,” Eddie said.

“And because of the lack of matches we’ve played the last few years, everyone’s so keen to play. 

“So anytime anyone gets to play now it feels even more exciting.”

Travelling together to an international competition has been a rarity for the team the past two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We haven’t travelled except the

Olympics last year,” Eddie said. “With players being all over

the country, we couldn’t even train together

“We really get a lot better when we travel together and play together against really good opposition.

“So not having that for a few years has been different, but we’ve been able to adapt and still improve.”

Eddie is a four-time Olympian, achieving silver at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, a bronze medal in Beijing 2008 when he was the youngest player on the Australian side, and bronze at the 2012 London Olympics.

He also holds the record for most representative appear-ances for Australia.

And he’s recently added head coach to Christ Church’s 1st XI Hockey Team to his list of achievements.

“That’s one of the positives about being in Perth a lot more and not travelling as much – I’ve been able to do more coaching,” Eddie said. 

“It’s really cool to be at the games on the weekend. I want to get the best out of the boys and I want them to have fun. 

“I also want them to improve and I’m trying to teach them a few things that the Kookaburras do and let them in on a few stories, which is really interesting for them.”

The Birmingham 2022 Common-wealth Games begin on July 28. 

The hockey competition begins on July 29. 

Christ Church principal Alan Jones said the Christ Church community would be “glued to the screen” when Eddie and the Kookaburras hit the fi eld.

Mosman on the verge of dumping chaos

Recent rubbish … Illegal dumping is a long-time problem in Mosman Park.

Mosman Park rangers want to know who dumped two huge piles of rub-bish on separate verges this week.

Broken furniture, mattresses, white-goods, and other household detritus appeared on a Gibbon Street verge early in the week.

It was promptly removed by council workers.

On Tuesday, another big pile ap-peared in St Leonard’s Avenue, near the Stirling Highway intersection.

“We will be treating this as an ille-gal dumping and will speak with the

suspect with a view to enforcement under the Local Government Act,” a council spokesperson said.

Some residents online were quick to blame Mosman Park’s new on-demand verge collection service, Verge Valet, which replaced half-yearly collections.

But the council spokesperson said the new system had not led to a rise in illegal dumping.

“Illegal dumping has been a long-time problem for Mosman Park,” they said.

“The Town is actively on the ball about this, including removing items as soon as we can.”

A former Wembley police station cadet has been chosen as the inaugural Mr NAIDOC.

Cohen Wade Taylor told a Perth Rotary Club meeting that joining WA Police was a dream fulfi lled.

“A harsh lesson I had to learn early in life was that people will treat me differently because of the colour of my skin,” Constable Taylor said last Friday after-noon.

“This is an extremely diffi cult concept to grasp as a young per-son, especially at school.

“I had lots of friends on the football fi eld, as I was OK at sport, but the home bell would ring and I would be lonely again.”

He said he decided he wanted to be a positive role model and help those in need, and felt he could do so by joining the police.

“I joined the police academy as a cadet because I believed I

could make a difference in my community’s relationship with the police,” he said.

“Each day I saw, felt and heard what it could mean to my mob. 

“[But] I’ve even had my own mob turn their backs on me because of the uniform I wear.”

Constable Taylor said he hoped he could help change the way people see, interact, and connect with the uniform.

Rotary president Maree Gooch said: “Constable Taylor is the epitome of this year’s NAIDOC Week motto, ‘Get up! Stand up! Show up!’.”

Constable Taylor was born in Osborne Park; his family moved often before settling in Walpole.

The Mr/Miss NAIDOC campaign is an empowerment and leader-ship program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 18 to 30.

State turns screws on Cambridge

WA’s top local govern-ment overseer has delivered a warning to Cambridge council.

In a June 21 letter obtained by the POST, senior bureau-crat Tim Fraser wrote that the Department of Local Government, Sport, and Cultural industries had “con-cerns about the Town’s opera-tions, particularly relating to various governance issues … some of which have also been reported in the media.”

Mr Fraser, the executive director of the department’s local government unit, detailed a list of concerns that included “calling of special council meetings on short notice”.

In May, mayor Keri Shannon called a secret meeting at just 22 minutes notice after she was criticised by retiring council-lor Rob Fredericks.

“I really haven’t been happy with the leadership,” Mr Fredericks said after quitting his Wembley ward seat just six months into his term.

Ms Shannon called the meeting the following Monday morning to approve a press statement fi ring back at Mr Fredericks.

The draft statement, which has never been released, accused him of “shouting, desk banging and profanity … in meetings behind closed doors”.

The meeting voted to lift confi dentiality from records of some closed-door meetings Mr Fredericks had partici-pated in.

Ms Shannon admitted later that month that councillors in her bloc had been given more notice of the meeting than her council rivals, Gary Mack and Rod Bradley, who did not attend.

“There were fi ve people that were genuinely concerned across the weekend of a num-ber of issues that they needed to be resolved on Monday,” she told a May 24 meeting.

A t t h e t i m e , L o c a l Government Minister John Carey called the short notice “not good enough”.

In his letter, Mr Fraser asked the council to “demonstrate how it has ensured the calling of special council meetings [is] consistent with good govern-ance”.

“The convening of a special council meeting should not ad-versely affect the administra-tion and/or a council member’s ability to effectively perform the functions of their role, nor impact the public’s ability to engage in the democratic process,” he wrote.

Mr Fraser also cautioned that motions at meetings needed to “demonstrate fi scal responsibility in committing ratepayer funds”.

“The [department] requests that the Town demonstrates how motions raised are con-sistent with good governance practices as outlined above,” he wrote.

He also delivered a warning on meeting behaviour.

The council is supposed to respond to Mr Fraser’s letter by this Monday, July 18.

Ms Shannon did not respond to a request for comment.

Cambridge mayor Keri Shannon has abandoned a plan to “confi rm” the results of this month’s Coast ward by-election, over a predicted $10,500 cost.

Ms Shannon and most council-lors wanted to send follow-up letters to all 2456 people who voted in the July 1 by-election to ensure no ballot papers were fraudulently completed.

Last month, the Court of Disputed Returns overturned the election of two councillors in Serpentine-Jarrahdale after two people linked to councillor Gurdeep Singh pleaded guilty to stealing ballot papers from letterboxes.

There have been no com-plaints of electoral fraud in Cambridge’s by-election, which saw Georgie Randklev defeat Basil Palassis by just 26 votes.

The WA Electoral Commission refused to release the list of people who voted to Cambridge council, instead quoting $10,500 to conduct the mailout.

“I think that’s a ridiculous amount of money to try and con-fi rm an election,” Ms Shannon told a special council meeting last week. “I can’t support it.”

Councillors voted unanimous-ly to abandon the move.

Another by-election will be held on August 27 to replace resigned councillor Rob Fredericks in Wembley ward.

After a council decision, voters will only be sent postal ballots if they apply for them.

Those who do not will have to vote in person.

Nominations c lose on Thursday, July 21.

Cost bounces Shannon’s

election fight

Part of Cottesloe’s foreshore footpath has reopened, two years after it was damaged by a storm. 

In 2020 rain runoff from a massive storm washed away steps and beach sand below the rotunda opposite the Cottesloe General Store on the corner of Marine Parade and Overton Gardens.

Part of the cliff-top path was undermined and it was closed to the public.

Fencing erected in February to block public access was removed this week, allowing a sneak peek of the new path, which cost $800,000 to repair. 

On Thursday workers started planting 850 native plants of 11 different varieties.

The dunes, which were stabi-lised with six-tonne sandbags, will be planted with 1050 na-tive coastal dune plants and a handrail for the limestone wall will be installed next week. 

Sally Shaw and Liam Charmers live in Overton Gardens, almost on the doorstep of the foreshore works.

“We’ve been living in Cottesloe for three months and we are very excited for the opening of the new path,” Sally said. 

Liam added: “It’s been very hid-den, but last night the gates were left open, so it was a bit of fun for the public to go in and have a look and get an early viewing.”

The temporary fence on the dune side will come down when the handrail is put in place.

To prevent a storm again washing away part of the fore-shore a new drainage system designed for large storm events has been installed.

In times of very heavy rainfall, overfl ow from Marine Parade will be directed across the foot-path on to a vegetated area at the bottom of the dunes.

Pollutants are fi ltered from the water before it reaches the ocean and fi ltered litter will be picked up and disposed of as part of the Town’s regular beach clean-up program, CEO Matthew Scott said. 

Meanwhile, major repair work on a sewer main further along the foreshore is set to drag on for another month. 

Marine Parade was due to open in both directions last week, but an attempt to fi x the broken main pipe turned to poo when new technology to spiral-line 151m of the pipe was rolled out and damaged during

installation.A Cottesloe spokesman said

the PVC liner would be in place next week. 

“Once the six-metre-deep sewer main has been suc-cessfully relined, two nights of overnight work will be re-quired to safely connect the relined section to the existing sewer network when waste-water fl ows are at their low-est,” the spokesman said.

They added the temporary above-ground bypass pipework along Marine Parade would then be removed and the area reinstated by August 19.

Children’s needs ‘weaponised’

into attack on democracyThe proposed children’s

hospice is without question a much-needed resource for parents of sick children.

But it has been weaponised into an attack on local govern-ment and citizens expressing their democratic right to hold an alternative opinion on basic planning matters, demanding genuine consultation and good governance.

The State Government and unelected players created a crisis in 2020 by failing to prevent the closure of WA’s fi rst and longest-standing child respite facility and hospice, Lady Lawley Cottage, with no adequate replacement plan at the time.

It is hard to fathom what

generated their decision, but cost-shifting to the National Disability Insurance Scheme may be one factor, as it has been with the recent moves by Activ Industries to scale back its disability worksites.

Having precipitated a cri-sis for parents, it ill-behoves government to pose as white knights coming to the rescue with a totally fl awed and wrong solution.

How Premier Mark McGowan and other players can save face in the light of a damning report from the State’s fi re authorities (Hospice hits fiery roadblock, POST, July 2) will be a huge challenge of their own making.

Nedlands

must counter

‘financial abuse’The City of Nedlands must be

congratulated on not increasing the rates burden on our com-munity.

The fi nancial analyses which I have provided may have played a part.

It is reassuring that more elected members are beginning to realise that the administration takes as much money from us as they can get away with whenever they can, in my opinion.

To my mind they are not the community-friendly entity they make out, and the elected mem-bers thought them to be.

This is demonstrated un-equivocally by fi nancial and headcount analyses that show massively excessive staffing levels with corresponding spend-ing levels.

Elected members now have the unenviable task of revers-ing the financial abuse that unending increases of the past has imposed on our community.

It will not be easy, but it must be done.

Laurie TaylorClement Street, Swanbourne

former mayor, City of Nedlands

Every Thursday for goodness knows how long friends and I have been meeting at 10am for coffee  in the Cottesloe shopping centre. Last week I arrived late, found the underground area where I usually park closed, circled the ground fl oor area and found cars backed up waiting for someone to leave.

Then I tried the top fl oor with the same result – no parking available. 

Eventually I found a spot where I had parked previously while changing a gas bottle at Bunnings.

This led to a $77 fi ne for not parking in a marked bay.

The chaos occasioned by the Woolworths expansion has called

for forbearance on the part of the shopping public. I guess it was too much to expect the same from the Traffi c Monitoring Service.

Black coffee, bitter roast, no sugar next Thursday.

Parking chaos

My neighbour booked a Verge Valet bulk rubbish collection.

Following the rules (nothing on the verge until three days prior and no more than three cubic metres of household waste), he put his old fridge out (doors removed as instructed).

In years gone by, with the former bulk rubbish collection, he would simply have stuck a sign on it, “FREE, it works,” and it would have been picked up quickly and gratefully by someone needing a fridge.

I am not criticising Verge Valet, because it does what our council pays it to do.

But providing the opportunity for items to be reused (as was the case with the old system) is how we made a kinder and friendlier world along with absolutely no impact to the environment.

Builders fined over reno lies

Two former building company directors have admitted to lying to Cambridge council to avoid paying an insurance bill.

Western Australian Construction directors Sinyeen Michelle Kua and Darian Paul Bolton have been fi ned $35,000 each by the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) for providing fraudulent documents to a series of metro-politan councils.

In May 2019, the company fi led plans with Cambridge for a home renovation in Wembley valued at $42,185.

The company later fi led revised plans with a valuation of $19,950, just below the $20,000 threshold for compulsory home indemnity insurance.

In the SAT, Ms Kua and Mr Bolton admitted the fi gure had been fabricated without the knowledge of the homeowner.

Home indemnity insurance

protects homeowners from fi-nancial losses in the event of a builder’s death, disappearance, or insolvency.

Western Australian Construction had been denied the insurance since early 2019 over concerns about its fi nances.

Mr Kua and Mr Bolton admitted providing seven forged insurance certifi cates to other councils in 2019 and 2020.

Saj Abdoolakhan, executive director of the regulator Building and Energy, said the company showed a blatant disregard for the entire building approval and regulation system.

“The work was not properly supervised and homeowners were left with incomplete and shoddy buildings, coupled with no home indemnity insurance to protect them,” he said.

“I urge home owners to check a valid HII certifi cate is in place for their project by contacting insurance provider QBE.”

Height bonuses for prop-erty developers could ease a chronic shortage of green space Sandy Anghie says.

The Perth councillor, who is also president of the WA Institute of Architects, wants to trade development incentives for sustainability measures such as publicly accessible gardens, carbon neutral design, or building around signifi cant trees.

City staff will investigate the idea after it won the endorse-ment of councillors this month.

“It’s quite ironic if we’re all running around with our reuseable plastic bags but we’re building unsustainable buildings,” Ms Anghie said.

“If you show people the way it makes it easier.”

A draft report released last week found that Perth council is headed toward a green squeeze as the inner-city population grows and urban development becomes more dense.

The addition of 28,000 new residents by 2036 could see the amount of open space per resi-dent shrink by as much as 51%.

Some of the worst affected

areas are in Crawley, West Perth, and the Hampden Road precinct of Nedlands, where many residents have to walk for more than fi ve minutes to reach a park.

Restore the

sedges and

save the riverThe Friends of Mosman Park

Bushland are doing important restoration work on the Swan River temperate salt marsh at Point Roe.

Friends were planting sedg-es in the area this week, and restoration help is required all year round.

Salt marshes are a threat-ened feature of the river, with more than half of them cleared. They have a similar function to mangroves but are much more biodiverse.

The sedges tolerate living in the salty river water, captur-ing and storing carbon in the soil so well that it is referred to as blue carbon, just like marine kelps. Look at where the sedges have been removed; the soil is salty and black with stored carbon.

Nothing but adapted plants (the sedges) will grow here.

Salt marshes should teem with life. During winter they become inundated with river water which is the trigger for crabs and prawns to spawn in the protective sedges. It is a time of feasting for birds and fi sh.

Point Roe is a beautiful spot to visit. Help its salt marsh by choosing the east beach to walk your dog and leave the south beach for quiet time with nature and the few remaining waterbirds.

Letting your dog bound

through the sedges leaving poo and scaring the birds is a sure way to kill the river.

Together we can bring back the waterbirds so we can all enjoy the wonders. Where else can wildlife go?

If you would like to help with the Point Roe salt marsh restoration, please contact Sue 0419 942 483, or [email protected].

Swan River “mangroves” ... sedges on the riverbank at Point

Roe, in Mosman Park.As we are all well aware, the

McGowan government won a landslide victory at the last State election.

With this massive endorse-ment comes an equally massive responsibility to represent all of us in a fair manner.

We are just asking for proper and orderly decision-making with the involvement of the community.

As a representative of one of the western suburb councils I have asked on several occa-sions to meet face to face with Local Government Minister John Carey, regarding the process of excising A-class reserves.

Unfortunately, he has seen

fi t not to accept my many invi-tations. This may refl ect how interested he is in working with local government.

It saddens me to see Mr Carey bagging councils under parlia-mentary privilege, while being unwilling to build bridges with constructive mediation.

Toxic rhetoric does not help with collaborative endeavours.

I voted for the children’s hospice despite my misgivings about the process of selecting the Swanbourne site. Mr Carey has made no real attempt to justify this choice.

I would love to mediate but it does take two to tango.

I am not saying it is all the

Government’s fault, but I do feel it has a responsibility to at least try to justify its decisions and not just bulldoze local governments.

Rising riskof flooding

Reports prepared for the Swan River Trust note increas-ing risk of fl ooding along the river, with higher water levels recorded at Fremantle because of storm surge, and decreasing intervals between storm surges.

In addition, rainfall events when they occur are likely to be more intense.

The reports suggest major changes will be required to manage the health of the Swan estuary with, for example, the likely need to relocate or abandon existing walking paths adjacent to the shoreline.

So why are hotels and spa baths being pushed by devel-opers in the fl ood-risk zone, with the support of the State Government?

I was outraged and saddened to read about Anzac Cottage being up for rent (POST, July 2).

I was one of many visitors at the open day on Anzac Day 2017, in celebration of the centenary of this historical and beautifully maintained cottage.

I was so impressed by the way the tenant of many years has preserved and looked after the cottage.

She felt privileged and proud to be part of an action plan sav-ing the house from demolition, motivated by her love for the cottage, which helped to get it heritage-listed in collaboration with the then council.

She has paid rent from the day she moved in and was called a model tenant by her previous real estate agent.

In 2017 her rent was reduced

by the council in recognition of her role in looking after the house, being so much more than just a tenant.

Claremont council’s new plan to replace her with a tenant who wins the rental bidding war, paying the maxi-mum amount they can get, is unbelievable on all fronts.

Obviously the current ten-ant is just collateral damage, with no care shown for her wellbeing and where she goes from here.

She is an outstanding mem-ber of the community, a well respected nurse and volunteer worker (that being how I came to know her).

Is money more important than moral values and care for this community member?

Leslie ShawNapier Street, Cottesloe

Nedlands right in not endorsing hospice planFormer City of Nedlands coun-

cillor John Wetherall should be grateful rather than dismayed by the council’s decision not to endorse a children’s hospice in Allen Park, Swanbourne (‘Dismayed’ Wetherall quits, POST, July 9).

Councillors recently voted 9-3 against endorsing an ap-plication by the government’s Child and Adolescent Health Service (CAHS) to build a chil-dren’s hospice adjacent to the bush precinct of Allen Park, Swanbourne.

Children, families and the wider community would rightly hold Nedlands council account-able if it endorsed a site for a hospice in the knowledge that CAHS’s own fi re-risk assess-ment states: “There may not be enough time to safely evacuate all occupants, particularly given

the complexities associated with moving unwell children, before a fi re would impact on the site.”

That fi re risk assessment has been confi rmed by two further assessments prepared this year by the state’s Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES).

If the foreseeable risk pre-dicted by the above assess-ments were ever to eventuate, Nedlands council would almost certainly be embroiled in lengthy and costly inquiries and legal proceedings.

When it inevitably came to light that Nedlands council had “rubber-stamped” the hospice development application from CAHS, despite the multiple and damning fi re-risk assessments, the embarrassment and culpa-bility of the council would be severe and inestimable.

By its vote, the council now

will never carry the exposure of such embarrassment and culpability. Other persons may not be so fortunate.

In light of the extreme fi re risk and DFES not supporting a development housing vulner-able children, their families and staff in Allen Park, the council has commendably discharged its responsibility to the com-munity by not endorsing the development application.

A-class reserves: heritage for sale? An A-class reserve in WA is

a Crown reserve with intrinsic community value or high con-servation value that should be preserved and maintained for the benefi t of future generations.

A-class reserves are offered the highest level of protection of any Crown reserve.

The theft of A-class reserves here began with the Elizabeth Quay development, which is now just a concrete jungle, by the Barnett government.

The current government is doing the same at Swanbourne and Dalkeith, and similarly at Subiaco Oval which was once an A-class reserve and now is being subdivided for apartments, ho-

tels or other uses.Some people might say “so

what?” The issue is what and where

else could this happen. A park in a suburban street being sold off for apartments? A river or beach foreshore reserve sold off for a hotel complex? A Bush Forever site sold for subdivision?

The western suburbs have many A-class reserves, and it appears all are up for grabs.

The community must make a stand against the theft of these reserves, for the sake of future generations.

School friends Leighton Bradfield and Lockie O’Donoghue have turned a decommissioned electrical substation into a makeshift meme factory to prevent youth suicide.

The pair, now both 24, found-ed youth mental health charity 20talk after losing two members of their school friendship circle to suicide in 2018.

“No one really knew how to cope with it as 20-year-olds,” Lockie said.

“We were all around the fi re one night and I said, ‘We can’t let this happen again’.

“At the time I was just start-ing to realise it wasn’t an un-common thing for friendship groups to go through a suicide or two suicides.”

Leighton and Lockie started running fortnightly mental health chats in a living room, before branching out to run peer support workshops across WA and a major fundraising gig in North Fremantle.

“We soon realised that there’s so much great education out there, but if you don’t deliver it in a way that young people understand then it’s just lost,” Leighton said.

“We realised that young people are spending up to fi ve hours a day on their phones, so we needed to reach them where they’re at.

“So we started sharing these lived experience interviews and they started blowing up.”

After securing a steeply dis-counted lease in the attic of the Fremantle Naval Store, they converted a disused substa-

tion covered with graffi ti into a makeshift recording studio.

The pair record serious, bite-sized conversations with a variety of guests about mental health, as well as a steady stream of light-hearted memes.

“There’s a lot of powerful information you can share through strategic memes,” Leighton said.

“They’re short and entertain-ing, and they get a very high response rate.”

20talk now has more than 20,000 followers across its social media channels.

Leighton and Lockie said they hope to grow the regis-tered charity to reach a bigger audience but need the help of corporate sponsors.

They said their platform was a low-cost, scalable solution to reach young people who wouldn’t ordinarily interact with traditional mental health services.

Collateral damage … A verge tree felled in Mosman Park. Photo: Paul McGovern

One tree too farA verge tree was felled

without council permission at a Mosman Park development site last month.

The juvenile gum tree on a Bond Street verge was removed to make way for sewer lines for a three-lot corner subdivision being built by Claremont devel-oper Fabric Property.

It was cut down alongside a much larger verge tree, the remov-al of which had been approved.

Council staff investigated after a complaint from a neighbour.

“The Town of Mosman Park did not authorise the removal

of the second, juvenile, tree,” a council spokesperson said.

“The applicant has agreed to plant an additional three trees as compensation for the removal of the juvenile verge tree.”

Fabric Property director Rhys Kelly said he would plant one re-placement tree on the verge and two tuarts in nearby Wright Park.

“We value the importance of street trees and verge landscap-ing and as such have obtained approval from council to under-take an extensive upgrade to the Bond Street verge as part of our development,” Mr Kelly said.

A builder whose company was ordered to pay $15,000 to a Floreat resident in May has appeared in court on fresh charges.

Alan Benjamin Dickson ap-peared in Perth Magistrates Court on two counts of build-ing while not being a building service contractor.

Magistrate Deen Potter heard one of the charges was over work done at a Cottesloe property in

early 2020.Another charge was over

not complying with a State Administrative Tribunal order over a property in Mt Hawthorn’s Milton Street.

There was also a charge of failing to comply with an order of the Building Commissioner, over a property in Alexander Heights.

Mr Dickson’s lawyer asked for a remand so her client could get legal advice.

Mr Dickson’s company, The Carport Co, was also charged with the offences.

Mr Dickson is next due in court on July 27.

In May the SAT ordered The Carport Co to refund an Orrel Avenue resident after sole director Mr Dickson skipped three SAT hearings in March and April (Builder hit with $15k carport costs, POST June 11).

The money was a refund of a deposit the resident paid in 2019 for a carport that was never fi nished.

They had aimed for 115,000 but almost dou-bled that fi gure, completing 219,546 pushups in 24 days. 

Their effort raised $15,803 for Lifeline and

earned the team fi rst place in WA and third place on the National Education leaderboard. 

Principal Dr Marie Perry said The PushUp Challenge had been a great success.

An Uber driver crashed in Claremont just after midnight on Monday night.

Nobody was seriously hurt.The driver had a man and a

woman in the back of his vehicle when it swerved off Stirling Highway near Methodist Ladies’ College, knocked over a power pole, then hit a wall.

St John Ambulance got a call to help at 12.10am; paramedics found the woman was shaken

but did not need to be taken to hospital.

Western Power said three of its customers lost power when the pole was knocked over.

A spokeswoman said the pole was replaced on Tuesday.

“We urge people to stay eight metres away from any fallen power lines or other damage to the network and report it to us on 13 13 51,” the spokes-woman said.

New drug targets amputation riskA new drug developed by a

Nedlands-based scientist could be a ground-breaking preven-tion of heart-attack and stroke.

Professor Juliana Hamzah received $496,715 from the WA Government’s inaugural Innovation Seed Fund to help commercialise the fi rst drug that dissolves life-threatening arterial plaque.

Meanwhile, Harry Perkins Institute vascular engineering researcher Nik Bappoo received $500,000 to help commercialise a device designed to improve the success rate of cannulas.

The novel medicine for dis-solving plaque aims to improve blood circulation in patients with blocked arteries.

“It will fi rst be tested on pa-tients with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), where plaque af-fects circulation in lower limbs,” Associate Professor Hamzah said.

If left untreated, PAD can be debilitating and lead to ampu-tation.

One in every fi ve West Austral-ians over the age of 65 will be di-agnosed with PAD to some degree.

Mr Bappoo will help West Leederville-based VeinTech to commercialise VeinWave, an imag-ing device to assist cannulation at-tempts in diffi cult-access patients.

The medical device startup aims to help patients undergoing one of the most common medical procedures, which can often re-quire fi ve attempts to complete.

“VeinWave is a portable de-vice small enough to fi t in the palm of a hand, that promises to make intravenous cannulation

easier and more effective,” Mr Bappoo said.

“Th e overall cost to the health-care system of failed cannula-tion includes wasted hardware, clinician time and increased complications.

“Lifesaving tests and treatment can be drastically delayed and infection rates increased with each cannula attempt. Multiple attempts also cause patients signifi cant pain and anxiety.”

Neighbours of a historic Mosman Park house are worried planned renovations will block sunlight to their home.

“The proposed extension will block the direct path of sun-light to one of our main living areas,” neighbouring resident Michael Frayne told Mosman Park council last month.

A decision on whether to ap-prove the plans was deferred to this month’s council meeting.

The property, on a 1103 sq.m block at 5 Bay View Terrace, diagonally opposite St Hilda’s school chapel, is known as Mackellar-Hall House.

It was built in 1932 by the leading interwar Melbourne

architect Rodney Alsop, who designed Winthrop Hall and the Hackett buildings at UWA.

While not State heritage listed, a report to council said it was considered “to have a high level of signifi cance and [be] very important to the heritage” of Mosman Park.

Damian and Tara Niesler bought Mackellar-Hall House last year for $5.4million.

Mr Frayne told council-lors that the Nieslers’ plan to move their property’s garage and driveway from Glyde Street to busy Bay View Terrace would create a major safety hazard.

“Their proposed non-com-pliant garage will signifi cantly limit visibility for me and my family,” Mr Frayne said.

Councillor Robert Nash asked the Nieslers’ architect, Steven Postmus, if moving the driveway and garage to Bay View Terrace was part of a plan to subdivide the block.

In May 2003, the Western Australian Planning Com-mission approved the sub-division of the site into two freehold sites.

That subdivision approval lapsed in May 2006, and any fu-ture subdivision would require new approval by the WAPC.

Mr Postmus said neighbours’ concerns about solar overshad-owing were misplaced.

A maximum of 25% overshad-owing is allowed under the R codes; Mr Postmus said his design would obstruct 17.39% of Mr Frayne’s property’s sunlight.

Dexter Wright is a Cottesloe business co-owner aged only 21.

The Shenton College gradu-ate and his mate Fabiano Buganza will open SETS gym on Jarrad Street this Saturday.

They said SETS was an ac-ronym of Strength Exercise Training Studio.

The business partners are offering free sessions in strength and conditioning classes and cardio sessions for three weeks.

“I’ve been a personal trainer since I was 16,” Dexter said.

“Fab and I felt group fi tness gyms were missing having a good eye on technique.

“If people are worried about not being taken care of well enough, we’ll change that.”

He and Fab, 36, had been planning their gym for two years.

“My own gym has always been a dream … but I had to fi nd the right business partner,” Fab said.

He lived in Melbourne for six years with his wife before they moved to Perth.

“She got a job offer for here, and it was the best news ever,” Fab said.

Saturday’s opening will have six free classes starting from 6.30am.

Dexter and Fab said they had a three-year lease from prop-erty owner Michael Nguyen.

Professor Nguyen, a cardiolo-gist, paid $5.8million for three lots on Jarrad Street earlier this year ($5.8m for heart of Cott, POST, May 7).

Work on a new angiography suite at Hollywood Private Hospital is due to start this month.

The new suite will feature a 15-bed day surgery unit with an entry, holding bays and a waiting area.

The redevelopment repre-sents a major expansion of Hollywood’s cardiac services, with the number of cardiac procedure rooms increasing from three to four.

Cooper and Oxley are the

project builders and the new suite is expected to be com-pleted by mid-2023.

The hospital’s deputy direc-tor clinical services, Patricia Whalley, said the new angi-ography suite had been de-signed for enhanced patient experience.

“Day patients will be able to stay in the suite from ad-mission to discharge,” Ms Whalley said.

“Patients will benefi t from cardiac specialists and state-

of-the-art equipment all in one convenient location.”

The expansion follows the opening of a new cardiotho-racic theatre in 2020.

Director of medical services John Maxwell said Hollywood was investing in the latest technology to attract the best specialists in the fi eld.

It now offers comprehen-sive cardiac services, with the opening of a $67million emergency department in November.

POST, July 16, 2022 – Page 29

A Subiaco public housing tenant says the Department of Communities won’t give her written reassurance her friend can visit her.

Valerie Fernandes’s friend James Hodder was banned by the depart-ment after he was evicted from Wandana last year.

But last month he was found not guilty of tres-passing at the big housing complex.

“The banning order was signed by someone who didn’t have the authority to sign it,” Ms Fernandes said.

“They [the Department] expect him to sleep on the road.”

Perth Magistrates Court confirmed Mr Hodder’s not guilty fi nd-ing on June 22.

The court said the police case failed partly due to the department not providing evidence that its worker, Brian McChesney, had the proper authority to do so.

“[The magistrate] told

[Mr Hodder] that his fi nd-ing did not suggest that he had a lawful authority to enter the property,” a court spokesman said.

“He told him to get legal advice about the matter of Ms Fernandes letting him in.”

Ms Fernandes said she wanted answers from Communities.

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

“All the people at Wandana need to know the truth.

“I’m very upset about this.”

The department did not reply to queries by deadline.

A Dalkeith developer was fi ned $400 for ex-ceeding the speed limit near the Perth CBD in February.

Barry Ronald Jones was also charged with driving while having a radar de-tector in his BMW sedan.

On Wednesday mag-istrate Richard Huston heard Mr Jones was de-tected driving at 67km/h on Mounts Bay Road, a 40km/h zone, near Mill Point Road.

A police prosecutor asked for the radar detec-tor charge to be dropped, as it wasn’t in the public interest.

Mr Jones, 70, then plead-ed guilty to exceeding the speed limit by between 20 and 29km/h.

His lawyer, Nicholas Stevenson, said Mr Jones had a limited record.

He had been convicted of a speeding offence in 2004.

Mr Huston said it was important to hear the facts about the charge.

“I was interested to make sure it wasn’t near a primary school or a shop-ping centre,” he said.

“[It’s not likely] Mounts Bay Road is one of those areas.”

Mr Jones’s plans to build a $25million wellness retreat at the riverfront Tawarri Hot Springs site are being assessed by the State Development Assessment Unit.

was stolen from a Wembley home earlier this week.

Police said an unlocked back door made it easy for a burglar between Sunday night and Monday morning.

The intruder took the car keys from the kitchen table at the McKenzie Street home and drove away in the 2021 vehicle.

Booze banditA man verbally abused

bottle shop workers in Shenton Park before he walked out with a carton of beer.

Wembley police said the man became hostile after his female companion was asked for ID when they went to the counter at Vintage Cellars on Nicholson Road.

The man walked out with the carton of Hahn Ultra Crisp bottles.

He then returned and walked out with bottles he’d left on the counter.

Call the station on 9214 7100.

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

two people stole a bag from a car parked outside a Coles supermarket.

The owner told offi cers the bag contained about $250 cash; a ceramic fi gu-rine; two candle lighters; an exercise book; and other items.

The green reusable bag was in a Land Rover Discovery, which was parked at Coles North Perth in Fitzgerald Street.

These people may have in-formation that can help

police.

Power tools valued at $5000 were stolen from a Swanbourne home earlier this month.

It’s believed burglars forced an electric slid-ing door at the Cornwall Street home before

stealing two sets of car keys.

The intruder also took cordless drills, a chain-saw, sanders, a heat gun, and other tools.

Neither of the resi-dents’ cars were stolen.

Another female tenant has had her underwear taken while an-other woman who spotted a man interfering with her load of wash-ing was assaulted in the facility (Knickers nicker assaults woman, POST, March 19).

Department of Communities’ Mr Richmond fronted more than 20 residents from the Wandana Community Association’s monthly meeting for an hour last week as he spoke, listened, and took questions.

Subiaco councillor and former police superintendent Garry Kosovich and a worker from Nedlands MP Katrina Stratton’s offi ce were also at the meeting.

Mr Kosovich asked how many disruptive behaviour complaints had been acted on – and how many evictions there had been – in the last 12 months.

“I’ll have to look at the numbers,” Mr Richmond said.

Communities said later it had made two magistrates court ap-plications to terminate tenancies for disruptive behaviour in the last fi nancial but there had been no evictions for such behaviour.

It said it received 185 complaints regarding tenancies in Wandana, with 86 progressed to investigation.

Mr Richmond said there was dif-ference between reporting disrup-tive behaviour and more serious matters that could be regarded as criminal.

“If it’s serious, call the police straight away,” he said.

He said excessive, unreasonable, and ongoing behaviour would get a response from Communities.

But he said there were limits on what could be acted on.

“[Some] nuisance behaviour – coughing, talking loudly, burping loudly; not necessarily yelling or swearing – [a magistrate] is never going to terminate a tenancy,” Mr Richmond said.

Locals raise their voice in publicThe Integrity Committee last

year raised doubts around whether that draft legislation applied to ministers.

Other concerns were fl agged around who could raise com-plaints and that there would be no public hearings, no public reports, no public fi nd-ings against the public sector, parliamentarians, or their staff

Ms Chaney said she expected Tuesday’s forum to be more concerned about the inclusion of public hearings, something

the Morrison government said would become a “kangaroo court” that would tarnish people’s reputations. 

Mr Vandongen pointed to WA’s Corruption and Crime Commission when asked about what checks and balances could be in place in a new Federal model.  

“The balance [in WA] seems to be much more towards the private examinations and con-ducting public examinations when it is considered in the public interest to do so,” he said.

“I think the public interest test is probably the best test [over whether to hold a public hearing].”

At the forum, there was an acceptance that if the Helen Haines model, which has a se-ries of tests to ensure a public hearing is in the public inter-est, was used as a starting point by the Federal Government, it would be seen as a good outcome, Ms Chaney said. 

Legislation for a federal cor-ruption watchdog is expected to be introduced in September. 

• From page 5

of $100,000 a year in costs.“[It also includes] a Changing

Places facility for people with complex disabilities; 24/7 public ac-cess to a lift to the beach and street levels; new covered and protected areas for the public; 24/7 security and staffi ng for the precinct.”

Mr Meredith also plugged the project paying for a new boat stor-age facility for Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club.

“Fiveight is offering all of the above, plus perhaps more impor-tantly, the catalyst for a thriving beach precinct,” he said.

An event attendee said Mr

Meredith seemed to show in-creased awareness of the key role Cottesloe council had in a decision about the development.

Some at the Town council are worried Mr Forrest will attempt to bypass the council and ask Lands Minister John Carey to rub-berstamp his proposal.

They are concerned Mr Carey could initiate a process to hand over the beachfront land to Mr Forrest.

The redevelopment is not expected to be on the council’s meeting agenda next week, despite being announced by Fiveight seven months ago. The council is still getting expert advice about it.

Cops rescue ministerdelivered them to their night’s accommodation.

“It’s a very humbling experience when best-laid plans go awry on the Track, and an embarrassing situation for me, but I’m really appreciative of their help,” Dr Buti said.

“The police do an incredible job.”Dr Buti is wearing an AI-powered wristband

developed by Nedlands researcher Professor Yogi Kanagasingam that is monitoring his vital signs during the walk.

He told the POST before setting out that he wasn’t going to carry a personal locator beacon, but would have “an extra pair of socks” in his small backpack.

Eighteen days is fast for the Bibbulmun, on which the average time taken to walk it is six or seven weeks.

“[Going end-to-end] is a challenge, which I’m always into,” Dr Buti said.

“I won’t be able to sit down, refl ect, and look at the views,” he said.

“Not having a rest day while on a reasonably long-distance trek is a worry, but it’s amazing what the mind can do.”

Dr Buti, 60, is so fi t he regularly jogs from Parliament House through the western suburbs to City Beach and back again.

He has completed three of the six major world marathons (Boston, New York and Berlin), with a personal best time of three hours 19 minutes.

“My intention is to run the Bibbulmun where it’s possible,” he said last month.

“I won’t run up hills.“I have some nervousness about it (but) the

only reason I won’t fi nish is if I get injured.”

Crash driver hoped for a way out

A young driver asked a paramedic if he would be able to drive away in the car he crashed in Nedlands on Wednesday night.

The 23-year-old, who has been charged with a 0.08 offence, was heading north on Kanimbla Road at about 11.40pm.

He tried to turn right into Hardy Road but mounted a kerb and hit a tree.

The force of the impact

left the Toyota Yaris, which had Waroona plates, on its left-hand side.

Resident Jane Boxall said the driver clambered out of his door while three other people crawled out through the back.

“They were just kids,” Ms Boxall said. “He asked the paramedic, ‘Will I be able to drive it away tonight?’

“The paramedic said, ‘You’ll never be able to drive

it anywhere’.”The driver, from Thornlie,

told people he wasn’t insured.None of the car’s occupants

was injured.The driver was taken to Sir

Charles Gairdner Hospital; po-lice will allege he blew 0.087.

Ms Boxall said some driv-ers treated Kanimbla Road like a Formula 1 track.

“We need something [to slow traffi c] on Kanimbla Road,” she said.

Rollover regret … This young driver may have been refl ecting on the fact

his car wasn’t insured.

With help from the Friends of Hollywood Reserve and students from Hollywood Primary School, the City of Nedlands is rejuvenating areas of the reserve.

More than 300 Hollywood students weathered a crispy cold morning to help plant more than 600 specially selected seedlings that will help provide food for native fauna, including native bees and black cockatoos.

Nedlands council’s en-vironmental conservation coordinator Vicki Shannon said the area burnt last year was regenerating well and the key would be environmental weed management to support the natural regeneration.

“Our revegetation program is an important part of the City’s overall on-ground restoration

plans but it would be a chal-lenging task if not for the as-sistance provided by Friends groups and student participa-tion,” Vicki said.

Volunteer Friends groups have been assisting the City for more than 25 years and welcome new members.

Find out everything there is to know about nesting hollows and artifi cial nests in the WA’s South-West.

Simon Cherriman is an award-winning environmental scien-tist, educator and fi lmmaker and an enthusiastic advocate for the unique Australian bush and all of its fauna.

Naturally occurring cavities in trees – known as tree-hollows – are a vital ecological resource

for a range of Australian wild-life.

But there is a “housing crisis” for hollow-dependent fauna, especially in the South-West.

To raise awareness about this issue Simon recently self-published a book: Hollowed Out?

The book is the culmination of more than two decades of study and photography of both natural and artificial tree-hollows, and the wild animals

of south-western Australia that depend on them.

Copies of the book will be available to buy at Claremont Lawn Tennis Club on Tuesday July 26, when the Friends of Lake Claremont will host a talk by Simon about his passion.

Refreshments are available at 5.30pm with the talk starting at 6pm.

No registration is required. A gold coin donation is greatly appreciated.

For many people, having a pet around the house is a nor-mal part of life, which is why a very friendly and enthusiastic cavoodle (cavalier king charles spaniel/miniature poodle cross) has proved popular at Regis Nedlands.

Five-year-old Milly is the exceptionally cute pet therapy pooch who visits residents every fortnight through the Delta Society, a not-for-profi t organisa-tion that takes therapy dogs into hospitals, aged care homes and rehabilitation centres.

Milly visits with her owner, Nedlands local Sue Wood, spending time with seniors who are always on hand to have a cuppa and chinwag, while offering Milly a pat and some treats.

“Just as I have been getting to know the residents and staff so has Milly,” said Sue, who decided to volunteer and ex-plore pet therapy with her dog through the Delta Society after retiring from her job a couple of years ago.

“I’d say that most of the sen-iors have already fallen in love with her, and from my perspec-tive it’s lovely that we can give back to the lovely Regis com-munity and help put a smile on

the seniors’ faces.”Sam Waldon, Regis Nedlands

general manager, said the fort-nightly visits by Sue and Milly brought much joy into the lives of residents, most of whom owned and loved dogs in their younger years.

“The program has had an extremely positive infl uence on residents as well as staff, and we are incredibly thankful to Sue and her gorgeous four-legged family member for paying us regular visits,” Sam said.

“Milly is most certainly a big hit and already we are fi nding that her presence is aiding relaxation among residents, as well as increasing interactivity and excitement.

“We certainly all love to see Milly and her wagging tail, and she also provides a talking point for residents to reminisce about the pets they’ve owned in their younger years.”

Dogs and their handlers are required to do rigorous training with the Delta Society before being admitted to the program.

Albany Wind Farm is a success story.

University of the Third Age (U3A) Perth is presenting a seminar entitled Helping Build a Net Zero Carbon Economy on Saturday July 23.

Peter Farr, chairman of the Western Suburbs Branch of U3A Perth, has organised a range of speakers from science, business and ecovillages to cover the most contentious issues surrounding how Australia can achieve its targets. 

Seminar topics include Carbon-footprint of WA Grains Production; Synergy’s Projects Targeting Net Zero Carbon; How Climate Friendly is an Electric Car? and Decarbonising our Built Environment; and several more.

In the past, more attention has been paid to arguments about the effects of climate change than what we can and are doing about it.  

This seminar is an opportunity

to update yourself on the work going on in different industry sectors and how to do your bit. 

Time has been set aside for expert panels in the morning and afternoon to answer ques-tions, and you will learn how to calculate your carbon footprint and reduce it.

The seminar will be held in the State Library Theatre, Francis Street, Perth. The cost of $35 includes lunch.

Advance booking is required. Registration is from 9.15am

and the fi rst speaker will start at 10.

The full program can be viewed and bookings can be made on the U3A Perth  website U3Auwa.org.

For booking assistance call Ron Mitchell on 0439 919 670.

For more information about the seminar call Peter Farr on 0419 905 864.

Hannah Reynolds

Hannah’s a good sport

Hannah Reynolds, fea-tured in last week’s POST, was incorrectly named as Kate in the story headline.

Kate Reynolds is Hannah’s mother.

Hannah, from City Beach, plays top-level sport despite having to wear a brace to correct scoliosis.

She has continued to train and play and will represent Australia in the Australian Futsal Association under-14 team in New Zealand in December.

Hannah, 14, and Kate are keen to encourage young people who have to wear a brace to keep playing sport.

“Do the exercises your physio gives you,” is Hannah’s advice.

Copenhagen-based violinist Marshall Read has returned home to Perth for a short break and will give a fundraising recital at Christ Church in Claremont on Sunday July 24.

Marshall, who began learn-ing violin when he was seven, earned a specialist music scholarship to Churchlands Senior High School.

He has just finished his fi rst year of a Master of Music

degree at the Royal Danish Academy of Music. This recital will help raise funds for tuition expenses.

It will include the premiere performance of a composition by WA composer Alex Turley.

The recital, from 3 to 4pm, is at Christ Church Claremont, corner of Queenslea Drive and Stirling Highway.

Tickets are available through Eventbrite.

Voiceworks perform a Christmas in July concert.

Voiceworks in full voice againAfter several months of

limited rehearsals because of COVID precautions, Voiceworks choir will be reconvening a full rehearsal schedule in the Shenton Park Community Centre for their start of term 3 from Tuesday July 19.

And the choir is inviting new members.

“Everyone is really looking forward to our full choir sing-ing together again,” director Maggie Wilde West said.

“During the fi rst half of the year we were able to continue with limited numbers and care-fully planned rehearsals, we even managed one small perfor-mance, but we have all missed that wonderful experience that lots of voices create when they blend together in harmonies with other voices.

“We have also missed the good

social contact we experience when we get together and sing with our friends each week.”

Voiceworks has an exciting new program and feels confi dent of a return to a full rehearsal schedule for term 3.

“We will be working towards some performances later in the year and we’d really love to have lots of new members come and join us, then we’ll all have something to sing about,” Maggie said.

Voiceworks is a non-audi-tioning professionally directed SATB community choir and everyone is welcome.

There is a very comprehensive COVID health policy in place.

Rehearsals are Tuesdays 7 to 9.30pm in the Shenton Park Community Centre.

More than 50 members of Friends of Perry Lakes braved a crisp winter’s morning to plant 2000 seedlings on the north-west border of Perry Lakes this month.

It was the fi rst tree-planting day for the group, which was formed this year.

The tree planting was followed by a barbecue where members had a chance to socialise and hear more about work planned by Cambridge council in col-laboration with the Friends.

It was just the fi rst of many intended planting days, with the longer-term aim to restore

the natural habitat and diversity of plants at the lakes’ edge and provide a habitat for waterfowl, turtles, frogs and other species.

The Friends also have several educational events planned, including a walk around Lake Claremont on Sunday July 17 and a hydrogeology of Perry Lakes talk on Sunday July 31.

The group is still seeking new members who are interested in protecting the Perry Lakes habitat, learning more about the area and meeting other Friends.

More information is available at [email protected] or the group’s website at www.friendsofperrylakes.org.

Happening habitat at Perry Lakes

The sun came out on a winter’s day for Rocky Bay’s NAIDOC celebration at the Mosman Park hub last week.

Guests participated in many fun and educational activities for NAIDOC Week.

Noongar elder Robyn Collard opened with a smok-ing ceremony and welcome to country, inviting guests to gather around the fi re to take in the smell from different native leaves.

Ms Collard ran through a brief but captivating history of the Noongar culture and Whadjuk region.

Guests were invited to take part in art activities for all abilities led by Rocky Bay community staff.

A Noongar language work-shop led by Cynthia Garlett was an opportunity to learn the Noongar language and the history behind it.

General manager of clinical services Michelle Dillon wel-comed and addressed guests

on the importance of celebrat-ing this signifi cant event and our First Nations people.

“The 2022 theme for NAIDOC Week is Get up! Stand up! Show up! It calls for a genuine com-mitment by us all to cultivate our understanding, participate in cultural heritage and dem-onstrate solidarity with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities,” Ms Dillon said.

Throughout the day guests enjoyed of traditional damper and light refreshments sup-plied by Rocky Bay’s Moon Cafe.

This is Rocky Bay’s third year of celebrating NAIDOC Week.

Rocky Bay also had on dis-play an educational book for children called Visiting My Mob (Koorliny Djinanginy Moort) which takes the reader into the mind of young Aboriginal boy Jay, who has autism spectrum disorder.

To order a copy contact Rocky Bay on 6282 1900.

Portholes, parties and

the wide blue yonder The golden age of

ocean liners is the in-spiration for a pres-entation at the Royal Western Australian Historical Society on July 26.

The society’s artist-in-residence Wendy Lugg was inspired by the recent dona-tion of items from the Loton family’s 1927 10-month tour from WA to Europe and back.

Portholes and Parties: Travel in the golden age of ocean lin-ers will contrast the hardships of early travellers with later ocean travel.

With the advent of steamships ocean travel became a less daunting proposition.

As the 20th century unfolded fast and sturdy purpose-built ocean liners emerged, designed not merely to transport migrants and mail but also to make the journey a pleasure.

Regular schedules and lavish onboard facilities enticed the wealthy to venture out from WA to ex-plore the world.

Wendy’s shipboard exploits occurred when the not-so-wealthy were also catered for, and not long before the golden age of ocean liners faded away to be replaced by

airline travel. She was spurred on to ex-

plore the society’s collection for other stories of life on the ocean waves, which in turn led to more research and interesting discoveries to share

The talk is on Tuesday July 26, 10 for 10.30am at Stirling House, 49 Broadway, Nedlands.

Tickets are $10 and bookings are essential.

Phone 9386 3841 or email [email protected].

Binoculars will be provided for those who don’t have

their own.The cost is $10 – free for mem-

bers of the WA Gould League and BirdLife WA – with proceeds going to towards keeping Gould League’s education programs running.

A safety huddle in one of the wards at Hollywood Private Hospital.

Safety huddles have become an important part of the cul-ture at Hollywood Private Hospital, with improved planning, communications and morale since they were introduced last year.

Safety huddles are short, stand-up informal meetings with multi-disciplinary teams and are generally held at the beginning of a shift.

They help team members work cohesively to deliver high quality patient care.

They were rolled out across all clinical areas at Hollywood during 2021 and have made a big impact, according to clini-cal risk and quality manager Suzanne Craigie.

“Staff and clinical managers

have provided feedback that safety huddles have reinforced our safety culture by stream-lining communication and en-couraging effective planning,” Ms Craigie said.

“They have provided a daily forum for staff to raise concerns and put action plans in place for patient and staff safety.”

Safety huddles involve: 1) Looking back – what was done well in the past 24 hours and what could be improved. 2) Looking forward – focus on safety. Any patient and/or staff concerns discussed. 3) Planning – assigning responsibilities.

Research shows that safety huddles are an effi cient com-munication technique for teams to share information, identify concerns, collaborate

and effectively engage team members.

Ms Craigie said they had become an integral part of Hollywood’s communicating for safety standard.

“Speak Up For Patient Safety is a program to empower em-ployees to promote patient safety,” Ms Craigie said.

“Safety huddles give the whole team a voice and encour-age staff to speak up.”

A 2020 study found that daily safety huddles were a power-ful tool to create an equitable environment where frontline staff could speak up freely about safety.

As well as the safety benefi ts, Ms Craigie said safety huddles were good for morale.

Soroptimist International of Fremantle’s 13th annual Help the Homeless Fine Art Auction will be held on Saturday July 30 at Walyalup Civic Centre, Fremantle.

Auction MC is Fremantle actor, comedian, writer and director Sam Longley and there will be a solo performance by Fremantle-based Jack Davies, who with his band has won numerous awards.

Participating artists in-clude Monique Tippett, Eva Fernandez, Mikaela Castledine, Jo Darvall, Ross Potter and Adam-Hisham Ismail.

The auction benefi ts the Freo Street Doctor and St Patrick’s Community Support Centre in Fremantle, both of which sup-port the most vulnerable in our

community. Jo Darvall said there was

something very special about coming together and giving to help others in need.

“I really enjoy the energy,” she said.

“I often see the Freo Doctor service helping homeless people as I walk to my studio in Freo and I’m proud to think that my work will help this service to be available.

“It makes me think we can help make our world a better place.”

Fremantle Soroptomists’ presi-dent Lynne Jones said auction had been a major fundraising event for 13 years and members take great pride in having raised over $260,000 in that time.

The auction will begin at 5pm on Saturday July 30.

West Coast leaps into term 3 with renewed energy

West Coast Community Centre is emerging from the pandemic with renewed vigour and aims to attract new mem-bers and volunteers.

Chairman Janice Rooney said the third-term program would offer perennial favourites that appeal to a wide audience – with groups for walking, gardening, cooking and dining, culture, cooking, canasta, mahjong, Pilates, Nordic pole walking and line dancing.

“Our excellent speakers promise to offer some sala-cious tidbits and we have an adults-only Red Light Tour at the WA Museum Boola Bardip,” Janice said.

“Tales of climbing into bed with John Lennon and Yoko and learning how to smoke a pipe with prime minister Harold Wilson will be regaled by Sandra Harris, former news reporter/journalist for the BBC and Thames Television.

“Tom Percy will talk about how his imagination and legal experience is woven into his suspense-filled novel The Curate’s Egg; and we’ll be able to put a face to the ABC Radio’s Speakeasy voice, Daniel Midgley.

“More serious topics are to be discussed by WA Senior Australian of the Year 2022 Janice Standen on grandpar-ents rearing grandchildren; and by Sherl Westlund on ground-breaking discoveries in diabetes.

“We also have a Facebook page to highlight upcoming events and activities, and a ter-rifi c online group called Friends of WCC Perth to grow the sense of community WCC is so proud to foster.

“An excellent way to get to know other members is to be-come a volunteer. Sometimes people want to help but are not sure what they can do.

“I would love to hear from you and discuss how your skills could be incorporated into our friendly organisation.

“Email [email protected] or call 9286 8676 to get in touch.”

Enrolments begin on Tuesday July 19, 9.30 to 11.30am at The Grove Library precinct and online from 1pm.

You can also enrol by contact-ing WCC on 9286 8676, at the library on Tuesdays between 9.30am and 1.30pm or online via the website.

Bronze Brett Adelaide-bound

Nedlands Croquet Club’s Brett McHardy will travel to Adelaide in September to repre-sent WA for the gold and silver medal golf croquet championship.

Brett competed against fi ve players at the club in a best-of-three competi-tion and won the bronze medal and the right to represent WA.

Three other players unfortunately were ruled out before they even made it on the lawns after testing posi-tive to COVID.

Despite this setback

the competition was still vigorously fought and players demonstrated great skills and tactics throughout the weekend.

Brett has won the bronze twice and went on to fi nish fourth one year and third the other.

We wish him good luck and hope he is able to improve on his previous attempts and fi nish with either silver or gold.

Nedlands Croquet Club offers an invita-tion to come and try at no cost.

Contact Ruth on 0415 797 915.

Free trees delivered to Nedlands doorsOn Sunday morning

Nedlands Tree Canopy Advocates committee members and volunteers

delivered 100 free trees to local residents as a part of the drive to increase canopy in Nedlands.

The trees are a mix of tuart, jarrah, marri and hakea.

These species are en-demic to the area and are great habitat and food resources for local wild-life.

The trees came with an information sheet about the trees and guidance on how to plant and care for the tree.

Nedlands residents can email NTCA at [email protected] to order a free tree.

The winners were Ian Lilly, Bruce Frederickson, Helen Hood and Iris Newbold.

Runners-up were Mark Bright, Toby Roney, Sheila Binns and Ron Hassall.

Following the meeting, all members will enjoy a barbecue lunch together.

Visitors are always welcome for social play on every Wednesday and on non-competition Saturdays.

Rotary in WA Driver Education (RWADE) is a program adopted by Rotary clubs, including the Rotary Club of Matilda Bay, to provide driver educa-tion to secondary students who are about to embark on getting a driver’s licence.

Statistically, young drivers continue to be over-represented among road crash victims because they are more likely to engage in risky driving behaviour and have limited experience.

The highest risk period is soon after getting a licence and continues up to 24 years. One of the leading causes of deaths in this age group is traffi c accidents (20-25%).

A 17-year-old driver with a P1 licence is more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than a driver over 26.

This project supports the WA Government Road Safety Strategy 2020-2030: Driving Change.

The objective is to infl uence the attitude of young people to road safety just before they learn to drive.

RWADE fi lls a niche opportunity for a one-day course which complements and supports the several road safety programs provided by WA Police, St John Ambulance and other organisations.

The program runs over one day for students from Year 10 or 11 and is conducted at a suitable location.

For further information contact the Rotary district coordinator Lindsey Francis on 0412 771 476.

The song Let it Go, from the Disney musical Frozen, has become one of the best-selling soundtrack songs in the world, winning an Academy and a Grammy award and its title working its way into the lexicon of pop culture.

In the stage show of Frozen, Jemma Rix gets to sing the famous song as Elsa, and she said: “There is so much pressure! It is vocally a very demanding song. At every performance I can hear people’s excitement, everyone is so cemented with that particular

song. It makes me very nervous.”

But eight times a week, Jemma soars through the song and said: “With all the special effects of this stage show, the amazing lighting, and the smoke, every time I sing it, the audience sees magic happening.”

For over a decade Jemma Rix played Elphaba, the green witch in Wicked, a young woman who had magical powers who was shunned for being different and eventually couldn’t fi ght the moniker, Wicked Witch.

“There are so many similarities,” Jemma said

of replacing the green witch with Elsa, who is born with the ability to create and control ice and snow.

“Both young women have powers they have to learn to control – for better or for worse, but while Elphaba was mean because she was judged, Elsa understands that her powers scare people.

Elsa uses all her powers to build an enormous ice palace where she believes she can live freely without fear of hurting people.

Parents with young children will be more familiar with the story of Frozen than they

possibly want.Jemma doesn’t have

children and said she’d watched the fi lm “the normal number of times” – in other words, once.

But when she visited New York a couple of years ago, she went to see Frozen on Broadway and put the role of Elsa on her bucket list.

“Every time I’m on stage I remember what it was like to be in the audience and be mesmerised by the magic, the amazing lighting and effects, more songs and better character development,” she said.

Twelve new songs were

written for the stage show which also includes puppetry, special effects and projections.

It was a few months later back in Australia that Jemma got to audition for the role, but the rigorous process took six months of call-backs.

“My fi nal audition for the people at Disney was with Courtney [Monsma] and it just felt so right. The chemistry was there,” she said.

Jemma was immediately cast as Elsa and Courtney as her younger sister, Anna.

Jemma said that the touring and performance schedule for the musical

was relentless.“Sacrifi ces have to be

made to do a show like this,” she said of a non-existent social life and rigorous fi tness regime. “I have become a master of the art of keeping fi t and dealing with vocal fatigue.

“But when I’m out on stage in front of an audience who are feeling the magic for the fi rst time, I know I’m where I need to be.”

As in all of Shaun Tan’s storybooks, in Cicada there is as much for adults to contemplate as for children to delight in.

It is perhaps what draws theatre-makers to Tan’s richly image-driven work, that propensity for

playfulness and wonder even among big and sometimes scary themes.

Barking Gecko artistic director Luke Kerridge, who has brought Cicada to the stage with co-adapters and performers Arielle Gray and Tim Watts, fi nds a wonderful balance of Cicada’s joy and subversive humour amid the story’s unmistakably darker moments.

Cicada is an offi ce-worker, a wide-eyed, besuited apple-green chap in a sea of grey – grey corridors and cubicles in a big, grey metropolis. Not to mix insect metaphors, but he’s a worker bee, pulling long hours and beavering well into the night with no thanks from his churlish, headless-suit bosses.

It’s a world the artistic team captures with wonderful imagination from behind a simple desk under two Pixar-style desk lamps, inspired not only by Tan’s book but also by the sketches, models and “action fi gure” of the central Cicada character he made during the process.

Tan has an innate sense

of his stories’ three-dimensionality, from which Kerridge, Gray and Watts inventively springboard.

Cicada himself is a plush hand-puppet brought to life by Watts, while Gray manipulates thin sheets of cardboard as his faceless co-workers, and lighting designer Chloe Ogilvie works wonders animating proceedings – especially amusing in one of Cicada’s long, anxious treks to the bathroom, busting for it.

Composer Jonathon

Jie Hong Yang’s gently rousing score helps shape the epic nature of Cicada’s journey, while Watts and Gray amusingly voice Cicada and his colleagues’ cute, barely decipherable mutterings.

It’s a joyous, thought-provoking hour-long performance with ideas about how we spend our days, work ethic, loneliness, bullying, self-soothing – and ultimately fi nding one’s tribe.

Its colourful fi nale is magical, and a spectacular segue fo r discovering more about the marvels of cicadas.

Parisian froth and bubble

Fans of the Golden Age of Hollywood movie musicals still rank the Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron-starring classic An American in Paris among its best, for its dazzling balletic dancing, lavish studio sets and string of Gershwin hits.

What’s surprising is that the starry, featherlight romance – with songs including I Got Rhythm and ‘S Wonderful – took so long to make it to the stage.

It wasn’t until 2014 that English ballet dancer and choreographer Christopher Wheeldon adapted it, debuting the show in Paris in 2014 before shifting to an 18-month Tony Award-winning stint on Broadway in 2015 – with an updated story set immediately post-World War II as the City of Lights emerges from the dark cloud of Nazi Occupation.

It’s that moment that spectacularly opens the show, as giant swastikas are replaced by the French fl ag and chaotic scenes fi ll the streets.

Bob Crowley’s gorgeously kaleidoscopic sets are breathtaking, matched only by his spectacular costumes that range from prim, colourful 1940s dresses to sparkling, feathery showgirl ensembles.

All musical theatre requires triple-threat performers, but Wheeldon’s production

ups the ante on the dance front – and the Australian production marks The Australian Ballet’s fi rst foray into musical theatre.

Both its Pert h season

leads – Cameron Holmes as the former American GI and aspiring artist Jerry Mulligan, and Dimity Azoury as his French ballet dancer love interest Lise – are dancers with the company, Azoury a principal.

Holmes develops into a particular charmer, and the pair are impressively supported by the story’s charismatic narrator, aspiring composer Adam Hochberg (Jonathan Hickey), wealthy would-be singer Henri Baurel (Sam Ward), and assertive American philanthropist Milo Davenport (WAAPA graduate Ashleigh Rubenach).

Septuagenariandirector Ben Lewin (The Sessions) knows something about the career U-turn at the heart of Falling for Figaro, in which a successful fund manager chucks it all away to become an opera singer.

After all, Lewin was an Australian barrister before ditching the law for fi lm school in England in 1971 – making him uniquely placed to helm this droll, easy-to-take romantic comedy with the ever-popular theme of having the courage to following one’s dreams, however wild they may be.

Of course, having a bucketload of cash behind you makes the whole thing a lot more do-able, as we discover when American Millie Cantwell (Australian actor Danielle Macdonald)

turns down a lucrative promotion at her London hedge fund to study opera-singing in a tiny Scottish Highlands village.

There, under the dubious tutelage of crotchety former diva Meghan Geoffrey-Bishop (a caustically funny Joanna Lumley), she hopes to become adequately prepared to win an annual opera-singing contest renowned for launching careers.

Of course, she doesn’t count on Meghan having another protege, Max (Hugh Skinner), who she assumed was simply the local handyman and chef at the pub where she’s staying, The Filthy Pig.

Nor does she count on their awkward but undeniable chemistry – especially when she has a “signifi cant other” (Shazad Latif) back in London.

Lewin, who co-wrote the entirely conventional screenplay with Australian

Allen Palmer, elevates proceedings by extracting fi ne performances from his ensemble.

Macdonald, whose breakout role was as a working-class New Jersey rapper in the 2017 Sundance hit Patti Cake$, transforms into that grungy character’s sparkling polar opposite as aspiring soprano Millie – though this time it’s Australian-Mauritian opera singer Stacey Alleaume doing the singing (Macdonald rapped in Patti Cake$).

She is strikingly matched by Skinner, who brings undeniable charm to the self-conscious Max and seamlessly lip-synchs Australian baritone Nathan Lay’s voice – most notably in his performance of the aria from the Mozart opera that lends the fi lm its title.

The pair are well supported by a typically mordant Lumley and Gary Lewis as The Filthy Pig’s laconic publican Ramsey.

A British-American-Australian co-production, Falling for Figaro is genial escapism, especially for popular opera lovers and those after a buoyant, amiable rom-com.

Hemsworth continues to give great musclebound himbo, but the stakes never acquire much urgency in a movie too busy being jokey and juvenile to tell a gripping story.”

■ The Phantom of the Open (PG) ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪½ “The Phantom of the Open is a rousing salute to a very English strain of nincompoopery, and a wise and witty reminder that that the pleasure of doing something spectacularly badly can outstrip the satisfaction of a job well done,” says The Telegraph. The Guardian says it’s “an amiably daft and sentimental Britfi lm, a comedy of the underdog starring Mark Rylance, based on the strange true story of Maurice Flitcroft, a Barrow-in-Furness shipyard worker and amateur golfer who took up the sport in middle age.”

During COVID lockdowns, Cassandra Charlick admitted to “falling head over heels in love with wine”.

Unlike many of us who just drank copious bottles to fi ll in time, Cassandra undertook Zoom classes in wine appreciation.

“Tasting and appreciat-ing wine can transport you to another time and place,” Cassandra said. “It’s like travelling through the glass.”

Seven years ago, the Claremont singer got her fi rst singing gig in Margaret River. She fell in love with the resort town, bought a house and stayed.

She found plenty of work performing in clubs, wineries, functions and weddings, but over time developed a talent for creating destination events. Then she discovered how much she loved wine-tasting.

It helped that her new

husband – they married in 2020 – is Stepan Libricky who has more than 20 years’ experience in hospi-tality and wine tourism and has worked for Xanadu Wines and Leeuwin Estate.

Together they started destination experiences, Earn your Vino, for immer-sive experiences in wine, food, truffl es and adven-ture experiences.

Although she hasn’t abandoned her singing career – indeed she pro-duced a lockdown album last year – Cassandra has spent the past few years working as a freelance wine

and travel writer for pub-lications including Escape Magazine, Delicious, Gourmet Traveller Wine and Halliday magazine and appearing on Channel Nine’s Our State on a Plate.

With Stepan, Earn Your Vino provides fi ve-day seasonal experiences for small groups.

“It is a ‘behind-the-scenes’ experience for groups of 12, that can include grape picking, mountain bike riding, coastal hikes, canoeing as well as wine and food

tasting,” Cassandra said. Expanding beyond

Margaret River, this winter Earn Your Vino will host Truffl es, Pinot & Produce in Pemberton.

Cassandra said Stonebarn, a popular wedding venue, was usually closed over win-ter but they have secured it for truffl e hunts and bee-keeping workshops from July 25 to 29, August 8 to 12 and 22 to 26.

“Earn Your Vino is about connecting people and communities,” Cassandra said.

Travelling through the glass

I thought because he was older, my lover would know how to treat a girl. I should

have listened to everyone who told me not to mess around with him.

He took my virginity and then treated me badly. Even after we broke up, we still had sex once a week. He was my fi rst love; I think that’s why I’m having trouble letting go.

Yesterday he told me he broke up with his girlfriend, so I slept with him last night. But I found out today they are still a couple.

How do I tell who wants me for how I look,

and who sees the person I am?

I think I’m too young to be going through all this.

Nicolette

Nicolette, the ability to recognise another’s intentions is

so subtle it eludes some people for a lifetime. But it can be learned. The most practical lessons come from experience. Coming into contact with others sharpens our understanding of their

motivations.That is something

for your future. Right now you have two disadvantages. One is your youth, the other is the aftermath of being fooled. But there is one element which can compensate. That element is time.

Time defeats newness and infatuation. Time defeats schemers. Time is the easiest measure of what is love and what is not. There is no reason for you to rush into sex. You could have saved yourself oceans of pain by waiting

longer.Love builds with each

memory. Love builds with each success you share, with each hurdle you jump together. Allowing days, weeks, and months to accumulate in your relationship gives you the basis for judgment.

Is this the man who will love me the rest of his life? Or is this the guy who won’t see me tomor-row, if I don’t put out tonight?

■ Wide eaves crown this two-storey home, built by Beaumonde Homes in 2008.

Wh e n a r c h i t e c t

Romaldo Giurgola

designed Australia’s fed-

eral parliament building

in the 1980s, he imbued

it with the colours of the

Australian landscape.

T h e H o u s e o f

Representatives is the

same shade of green as a

eucalyptus leaf, while the

Senate is the ochre red of

the Australian interior.

The ministerial wing is

ocean blue.

Two of those colours

form the backdrop to this

contemporary two-storey

home, which has views of

ocean and bush.

I t w a s b u i l t b y

Beaumonde Homes in

2008, on an 865sq.m block

near the crest of the long

coastal wedge that is City

Beach.

Across the road is a

stand of native trees on

the corner of the Kapinara

Primary School site.

The home’s top fl oor

offers views of the water

and the treetops from an

interior that maximises

both.

Three-quarter-height

windows stretch around

much of the top level,

allowing natural light to

spill onto the polished

fl oorboards.

The main bedroom has

a small north-facing bal-

cony, a walk-in robe and

an ensuite with a spa bath.

The L-shaped main

living area wraps around

a big balcony with timber-

lined ceilings and glass

balustrades.

From there, an outdoor

staircase leads down to

the pool courtyard.

A lift and a big internal

staircase will also get you

down to the ground fl oor

that is shared by four bed-

rooms, a big games room, a

study and two bathrooms.

The basement has a

wine cellar, gym and space

for four cars.

A g e n t Va n g e l i s

Katsaitis described the

home, with four indoor liv-

ing areas and four outdoor

entertaining areas, as a

multi-generational resort.

“My instructions are to

sell immediately because

the owners are moving

permanently overseas,”

Mr Katsaitis said.

– BEN DICKINSON

■ High ceilings and tall windows create a bright and spacious feel in the main living area.

Before-and-after photos

tell the story of this

renovated home overlook-

ing “Sherwood Forest”, the

local nickname for a leafy

pocket of Dunsborough

Lakes Golf Course.

Gone are the beige

curtains, blue and purple

paint, laminate benchtops

and dark-stained timber

beams.

“Every single thing in

the house, down to the

doors and door handles,

has been replaced,” the

owner said.

In a nod to the nearby

ocean, the two-storey home

on an 800sq.m site is now

cool, fresh and flowing,

with white and soft-grey

accents.

The owner bought her

home in 2020, after selling

her acreage property in

Yallingup.

“After leaving the space

of Yallingup to move into

town, this was the closest

thing I could get to being

surrounded by nature

rather than neighbouring

fences,” she said.

“As soon as I went up-

stairs onto the balcony and

saw the fantastic view with

almost complete privacy

up among the treetops, I

loved it.

“I could see that the

home had been well

looked after, and the layout

was very family-friendly

with large rooms, but the

interior decoration was

extremely dated.

“It just needed a total

overhaul inside.”

White, tongue-and-

groove wall panelling in

the downstairs bedrooms

and stairs creates a re-

laxed, holiday-house vibe.

The bathroom, with

sage fi sh-scale tiles and

brushed-brass fi ttings, is

very on-trend.

The home’s location has

been handy for the owner’s

teenage boys.

“They love the proximity

to their friends, centre of

town, skatepark and ovals,”

she said.

“There is a real commu-

nity feel in Amberley Loop,

with street parties and

gatherings at Christmas

and Halloween.”

Wraparound luxury

Luxury single-storey

downsizers are rare in

Peppermint Grove, which

is renowned for its multi-

storey mansions on sprawl-

ing blocks.

That’s where this three-

bedroom and two-bathroom

home comes in. It has the

level of fi nishes expected

in the 6011 postcode, but

it’s on a 931sq.m site.

Built in 1991, the home

wraps around a central,

curved pool that can

be seen from the entry,

kitchen, living areas and

main bedroom.

Ian R.D. Watson and

Associates designed the

home with a focus on feng

shui principles, and this is

evident at the front door.

The double doors are

painted red, considered

to be good luck because it

represents good fortune and

protection.

The sellers, who are the

second owners, said their

home also had Japanese

influences, including a

Japanese dry garden.

“What we love most are

the fl oor-to-ceiling windows

that allow all the natural

light in,” the sellers said.

“From almost every

room, they take full view-

ing advantage of the leafy

surroundings.

“The sound of abundant

bird life in the area, includ-

ing the frequent visits of a

kookaburra in the hunt for

worms from the garden,

create a harmonious feel.”

The location, between

the river and the Cottesloe

“village”, is ideal for those

who like to walk.

It takes four minutes

to stroll to popular Pep’s

Wine Bar, according to

Google Maps.

It’s also easily accessible

to the array of prestigious

schools in the area.

“Anything you desire

is a short stroll away,” the

sellers said.

“We absolutely love this

area; it’s full of nature’s

beauty and a vibrant family

environment.”

Renovation plans are

available from agent Jody

Fewster.

Gone before home openLast weekend’s home open for 40 Birrigon Loop, Swanbourne, was cancelled after a local person in “immediate buying mode” snapped it up. Agent Justin Davies, of Space Real Estate, said: “It went under offer after a pre-launch viewing on July 6. There were many disappointed people who missed out. It ended up selling in the $4million range.” The home was designed by Brandon Cross and built by Palazzo Homes in late 2015. On a tour of the 4x5 the sellers, who are moving to Dalkeith, told POST reporter David Cohen: “Brandon was amazing with his attention to detail. This is a hard house to part with.” Mr Cross made the most of a magnifi cent gum tree when he designed the home on a 629sq.m site. Several rooms have views of the towering tree, including from the void at the top of the stairs. “We get a lot of black cockatoos,” the sellers said. As well as trees, there are views of the Claremont CBD and Perth’s skyscrapers. Three of the bedrooms make the most of the views – the guest bedroom even has its own balcony. “The Royal Show fi reworks are spectacular and we can see the ferris wheel in the distance,” the sellers said. A colourful touch is wallpaper by artist Linzi Carter in one of the ground-fl oor rooms that is used as a nursery.

$17million snap decisionThere was little ha ggling when retired real estate agent Linda Goyder and her businessman husband, Tim, paid $17million for a riverfront house in Peppermint Grove. “We were a real estate agent’s dream,” Ms Goyder told the POST while she was holidaying in the UK. “We walked in, saw it,

loved it, bought it, then got on a plane that night.” The deal was done on June 21 and the 3652sq.m property at 52 The Esplanade settled on June 30. “It was all very quick,” Ms Goyder said. “We’re both quite spontaneous and we have similar tastes.” The property is a stone’s throw from their current home in Saunders Street, the Millionaires’ Row of Mosman Park. “Even though we love our house, we just thought this gives us so much more land. And we love the view,” she said. The couple plan to renovate the limestone home, which is next door to property developer Nigel Satterley and his wife Denise. The deal was brokered by Mack Hall Real Estate in association with Knight Frank, where Ms Goyder used to work. Agent Mack Hall said he had two buyers interested in the property but the seller was “keen to deal with [the Goyders].”

Koalas trump treechangers

An environmental fund dedicated to koala protection bested residential buyers at a Queensland auction last month. The Koala Farmland Fundis the new owner of Bailey’s Ridge, a 36ha rural block in Redlands, on the outskirts of Brisbane. The property sold under the hammer for

$4.65million, despite containing only a couple of sheds. That money came from the pockets of property developers who paid offsets to the Koala Farmland Fund after clearing native bush for their projects. Selling agent Jez McNamara, from Ray White Rural, told The Australian Financial Review that many of the registered bidders were looking to build their dream homes on the site. “There’s a strong market here for those seeking a bit of acreage,” he said. In an online post, The Koala Farmland Fund said Bailey’s Ridge was “a perfect location for us to rehabilitate with environmental offsets for koala and other fl ora and fauna”.

Bailiff mysteryA piece in last week’s Changing Hands (Call the Sheriff, POST, July 9) caught the eye of a former Cottesloe resident now living in Singapore. “I’ve never heard of bailiff auctions,” he said. “I noticed one apartment at 187 Broome Street recently transacted this way and I found it hard to fi nd any details.” The POST’s reporters swung into auction to get to the bottom of it. The apartment at 1/187 Broome Street, Cottesloe, was due to be auctioned on Thursday June 23, but the auction was cancelled because the “judgment debt was satisfi ed” according to the Department of Justice. In other auction news, a 1970s house at 35 Joseph Street, West Leederville, was sold for

$1.55million after being passed in at auction. Agent John Hartree, of Century 21, said three bidders put their hands up for the 4x1 on a 688sq.m site zoned for a duplex.

South-West boom The demand for Down South properties continues to be strong, according to agent Andrew Hopkins of JHY Realty. The buyers range from those looking for a holiday

house to investors and people wanting a permanent home. “We are also seeing people who are selling up big residences in Perth, maintaining a smaller abode up there and buying something fabulous Down South that family can also come to and enjoy,” Mr Hopkins said. On the market in old Dunsborough is a beautifully-renovated 4x3 at 11 Green Street. Online property records show the sellers paid $1.6million for it in January last year. “But the market has grown exponentially in the last 18 months,” Mr Hopkins said. “A recent sworn valuation provided in old Dunsborough for a similar property highlighted a 40%-plus increase in value over that period. In addition, the current owners have undertaken a complete internal refurbishment.” Offers close on July 27 for the 819sq.m property. For details, phone 0407 440 438.

Watch out for rent scammers

Two people looking for a rental property have lost $23,500 after scammers appeared to have hacked into a western suburbs real estate agency’s email account. Consumer Protection is investigating reports that two prospective tenants received a fake email purporting to be from the agency. The email said they had been successful in their rental applications and gave them instructions to forward the bond and rent in advance payments to a bank account controlled by the scammers. “In one case an international arrival to Perth, who was staying at a hotel awaiting confi rmation of the rental property, made several payments to the scammer amounting to $13,100 and the scam email replies blamed a COVID-19 outbreak in the offi ce for not being able to deliver the keys to his hotel,” Commissioner for Consumer Protection Gary Newcombe said. “After the initial payment was made, the scammer came back with another demand for more rent in advance.” In the other case, a woman who was moving from a regional area to Perth paid $10,400 after an email exchange with the scammer who was masquerading as the property manager. She had also sent personal and fi nancial information as well as identifi cation documents. Mr Newcombe urged prospective tenants to phone the property manager to confi rm the outcome of their application and double-check the bank account details provided for the payment. More information about scams is available at scamnet.wa.gov.au, or contact Consumer Protection on 1300 304 054 or [email protected].

Super-size new units ‘a disaster’to decide whether the revised plans could be considered under a process designed for minor changes.

The decision will have a big impact on how the new plans are judged, but it will be made with no expert analysis of its impacts on parking or traffi c.

There has also been no in-dependent review of whether it will fi t in with Nedlands council’s vision of a vibrant new town centre in Stirling Highway, after the deletion of an entire fl oor of commercial space.

Mr Perry said the develop-ment consortium was trying to “slip through” major changes with “scant information”.

“They must expect people would not think these were substantial changes,” he said.

Real estate agent Thomas Jefferson Wedge said the spec-tre of Chellingworth worried homebuyers at a recent home open in Dalkeith Road.

“People were very nervous about the Chellingworth site,” he said.

“Some were saying, ‘there are going to be these massive towers over the street and we’ll never see the sun’.

“Most of the feedback is generally negative.”

Residents, councillors, and council planners will all urge the DAP to hit pause on Friday – but the developer wants to hit fast-forward.

In a submission, planning consultant Bianca Sandri re-

futed council planners’ sugges-tion to send the new plans to the State Design Review Panel.

“There are no substantial changes proposed and the State Design Review Panel may resolve that a further design review is not required,” she wrote.

Property mogul Tim Gurner, a joint venture partner in the project, said the changes would improve the pedestrian experi-ence by narrowing towers and widening walkways.

“We see this site as one of the most important in Perth to create a new cultural, retail, commercial and residential hub – a true town centre,” he said.

Former Nedlands mayor Max Hipkins, a key architect of the town centre concept, said he supported the developers’ decision to remove the bulk of the commercial space.

“Offi ces can suck the life out of central business districts,” he said.

“With residential, enough car parking has to be provided, otherwise units won’t sell.

“With commercial use, par-ticularly offi ces, State policies encourage reduced carparking to make public transport use more viable.”

But he agreed that the pro-ject needed a fresh look.

“I certainly would regard it as a signifi cant change and it should be treated as that,” he said.

Either version of the plans

would result in the biggest apartment development in western suburbs history.

A well-known local apart-ment developer, who asked not to be nam ed, has questioned whether they will ever come to fruition.

“It has been suggested that some east coast developers do not have a good enough feel for the Perth market,” he said.

“Many of the apartments face over 98ha of cemetery and most of the rest of the development has high exposure to some of the busiest section of Stirling Highway.”

He said he could not see how Chellingworth’s developers could overcome soaring con-struction costs, a surplus of apartments in Nedlands, and strong community resistance.

“The proposed development would be twice the size of all the other residential projects in Nedlands combined, all of which are in superior loca-tions,” he said.

“Many of these develop-ments are struggling for sales at prices barely adequate to cover the steeply increasing construction costs.

Nedlands council plans to advertise the changes for public feedback if the DAP agrees to consider them as an amendment.

Last week’s POST incorrectly reported that the plans may not be advertised if the devel-oper is successful at Friday’s meeting.

Height frees green: Anghie

“We have an undersupply emerg-ing at both a neighbourhood and city level of open space,” Ms Anghie said.

She pointed to the Central Park tower – her fi rst workplace as a young university graduate – as an example of how developers could help reverse the trend.

The approval of the 51-storey skyscraper in 1987 was contro-versial, because the building was more than twice the site’s nominal height limit.

The development consortium, led by Alan Bond and Laurie

Connell, successfully lobbied for planning concessions in exchange for building public gardens on the William and Hay Street corner of the block.

“As a graduate fresh out of uni I would sit on the Central Park lawn on my lunch break,” Ms Anghie said.

“The plot ratio bonus does not cost the taxpayers any money.”

She said councils should also consider requiring a percentage of development costs to be spent on green initiatives, similar to the State Government’s Percent for Art scheme.

Page 62 – POST, July 16, 2022

Nick, without the sideshowThe fi rst Olympics were a

celebration of games, the arts and gloriously pagan vices.

The Aztecs played a game called ullamaliztli that involved, among other crowd pleasers, human sacrifi ce.

Here in Oz we have dedicated ourselves, almost from our na-tion’s birth, to the production and enjoyment of our sport.

If the Melbourne Cup can stop a nation, an Ashes series grab us by the throat, the Masters golf championship at Augusta captivate us, not to mention good ol’ AFL football every weekend from autumn to spring, then for tennis the highlight each year has to be Wimbledon.

All through last week we were fed familiar images of quaintness and gentility: play-ers walking into the arena, their all-white attire contrasting with the emerald green of the lawns with their manicured blades of grass militarily upright except

for the two bald patches where there is no grass at all, something akin to the view of the top of my head, at either end of each court.

And, of course, the obligatory strawberries and cream.

The cameras pull back to show people drinking tea and eating scones, then pull back further to reveal Big Ben and the London skyline.

Among all of this, and to make it compelling viewing to every

red-blooded Australian, this was the fi rst time in several years that we have had a man in the Wimbledon singles fi nal.

His name is Nicholas Hilmy Kyrgios, a likely lad born 27 years ago in Canberra to a Greek father and a Malay princess, recognised as a bad boy of ten-nis, a talented rebel without a big prize to his name, ready and eager to meet the best player on the planet, the Ser bian Novak Djokovic.

Both have had their contro-versies.

With Nick, bad behaviour is never far away. He alternates brilliant play with nasty tirades against umpires, lines-people or the crowd, and sometimes even his opponent.

He’s thrown a chair, squirted water at a chair umpire and told Swiss player Stan Wawrinka that his doubles partner Thanasi Kokkinakis had slept with his girlfriend: “Sorry to tell you that, mate,” he said.

Not one of his more gentle-manly moments …

Novak Djokovic has also had his share of problems, the big one being in Australia when he entered the country to play in the Australian Open without being vaccinated for COVID-19.

The Djoker was quite rightly deported, creating what turned into a political nightmare for the Federal and Victorian govern-ments and Tennis Australia.

He did have one stalwart sup-porter though: Nick Kyrgios!

Novak still hasn’t been vac-cinated and he requires one to enter the US so he can play in the US Open, starting August 29 at Flushing Meadow.

We’ll keep an eye on that.One disappointing thing for

the fans was that Rafa Nadal had to pull out of the semi-fi nal match against Kyrgios because of an abdominal tear.

Many fans were looking for-ward to that match, because they are perhaps the greatest op-posites imaginable, and clearly don’t like each other.

Many see Nick as an unpre-dictable champion of the coun-terculture, a rebel who violates the unwritten rules of tennis.

For others he is an entertainer who enriches the greatness of tennis as a spectator sport.

In the fi nal, he started as if shot out of Davy Crockett’s trusty musket.

The pace was fi erce, with both men sharing positive moments, but it was the lithe Aussie who won the fi rst set.

He did this because of the percentage of fi rst serves he was able to produce, as well as his agility and game plan. It was working. One of his serves whizzed past the Djoker’s rac-quet at 220km/h (137mph), which is blink-and-you’ll-miss-it quick.

But Novak showed why he’s regarded as the best returner of serve in the game when he started to wear Nick down to take the second set.

Then, in the ninth game of the third set, Nick started to mumble to himself.

He was unhappy. He had a long conversation with the chair umpire about some idiot in the

stand who was making too much noise.

The person was evicted, but the Kyrgios wheels were start-ing to wobble.

While the tennis was of the highest quality, the result looked inevitable, even though the fourth set ended in a tie-breaker.

Novak won 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 7-6 (7-3).In his press conference later, he said Nick had beaten himself.

Former champion “Superbrat” John McEnroe agreed.

“I don’t get the part where Nick got angry with his own entourage,” McEnroe said.

“I get it that he’s burning off nerves and steam. Maybe what his box should have done was all stand, then in single fi le, march out.

“That would actually achieve something.

“It’s all their fault? Really? It’s at a set all, four all and 40-0? He lost that game and it was all their fault?”

I have never been a great fan of Nick Kyrgios.

Too temperamental, and at times he’s done the game great disservice, showing little respect.

But he did win me over a little with his effort against Djokovic.

It wasn’t exactly a love-fest, but the two men were actually getting on fairly well in the end, saying that they are often on-line together and enjoy each other’s point of view.

Before the fi nal was played, Nick said he might retire from tennis if he won Wimbledon.

“I think that would just about be enough for me,” he said. “I’d be pretty happy with that.”

But at the end of the match, Novak said he didn’t think there was any chance that Nick would bow out.

“We’ll all see you back here next year,” he said directly to Nick.

Nick said he would go away, take a rest and have a think about things.

When making this decision, he should remember that all empires eventually must fall.

Already there are obvious signs that this is starting to hap-pen with the game’s three great pillars, Novak, Rafa and Roger Federer, all beginning to yield.

Federer recently turned 41 and has pared his schedule to try to prolong his career. Nadal is 36 and while still ranked No.2 is always prone to injury (as we saw at Wimbledon this year), and Novak, while still playing as well as ever, is 35.

We are unlikely to see this coming together of contempo-raneous tennis titans again in our lifetime.

But there will still be cham-pions to be crowned after The Big Three leave.

THE SPORTING

Mandurah’s Sasha Jane Lowerson and Dunsborough’s Jack Medland etched their names into one of WA’s most prestigious and iconic trophies with victory at the 23rd Whalebone Longboard Classic in Cottesloe over the weekend.

Surfing WA events man-ager Justin Majeks said the Whalebone returned with a bang as over 100 competitors from around WA and Australia converged on Cottesloe’s Isolated Reef.

“Two decades on, the Whalebone Classic has gone from strength-to-strength as one of the must attend long-board and logger events in Australia,” said Justin.

“Despite the weather, a strong crowd soaked up the festival style atmosphere whilst cheering on the event fi nalists who all performed tremendously despite the tricky conditions.”

Lowerson built momentum during the women’s fi nal, using traditional and modern long-board manoeuvres to claim victory.

“Thanks to everyone here and for everyone’s support through my journey,” said Lowerson.

“I was lucky enough to fi nd that one dreamy left which allowed me to do my kind of surfi ng.

“The Whalebone means a lot to so many people and to be part of it all feels amazing.”

Medland proved he’s a once in a generation talent, taking out a trifecta of wins including victory in blue-ribbon men’s, old mal and open logger.

“What an event and I couldn’t be happier with this result,” said Medland.

“All the boys surf so well and I knew it was going to be a tough fi nal, it was a really good battle and I’m so thrilled to come away with the win.”

“It’s been an epic event and I think for me the Old Mal is what this event is all about.

“Thanks to Dunny for setting this up so many years ago and for everyone getting around it again, I’ll savour this one for a while.”

In other results Cottesloe’s Mark Matisons came fourth in the open men, Wembley’s Craig Bell fourth in the over 50 men and Subiaco’s Melissa Pontre second in the over 40 women.

Big numbers of surfers out hunting along the coast from Leighton to Trigg last Monday after the weekend storm.

School holidays boosted the numbers in the water with every nook and cranny of reef occupied from Cottesloe groyne to Dutch Inn with few parking spots left on Marine Parade for the late comers.

Should be surfi ng some nice banks but the lack of back-to-back front action means there was little on offer but pounding closeouts and the odd corners on the beachies.

Cables had a crowd, the arti-fi cial was getting a few rollers and even Leighton was break-ing on what was a beautiful day for surfi ng.

I thought I’d seen everything until this week’s Doodlebugs flooded in!

Rose Waldeck, 10, of Mosman Park, did a brilliant artwork called “Geometrical design”.

It was an unexpected use of the merged circles, and I thought it was a bit like a stained glass Mondrian painting – great stuff!

I really identified with a 10-year-old Nedlands artist’s work: Desmond Powell’s skeleton.

One of the circles in his artwork is a crouching spider on the skel-eton’s skull!

Desmond, on deadline day I look

how that skeleton probably feels!There’s no doubt about it – look-

ing at all the Doodlebug creativity is one of the best jobs at the POST!

Rose and Desmond are our major winners, but there are plenty of ice-cream vouchers too.

They are Eleanor’s havoc-wreak-ing mouse; Linda’s flying unicorn; Bruce’s balloon-holding Peppa Pig; Coen’s gorgeous balloons; Jackson’s cute koala; Sienna’s person hitting
