    Two local school students have been chosen to help create the new WA Museum.

    They are Angela Bourne (14), from Shenton Park, and Hilary Andrews (12), from Mosman Park.

    Angela has a passion for his-tory and has her own collection of fossils. She looks forward to providing input about exhibitions

    Theyre among 60 West Australians selected from 557 applicants to sit on community panels for the new museum to open in 2020.

    A Swanbourne resident was living in a bush heritage precinct while his home was being renovated, Nedlands councillors have been told.

    The resident was a mem-ber of the WA Fellowship of Australian Writers (FAWWA), which leases Mattie Furphys House at Allen Park from the council.

    Sales job challenged:

    Manor housedouble take

    A residents group has challenged the accuracy of a brochure put out by Cambridge council promot-ing its highly controversial planning amendment.

    The plan would allow mul-tiple dwellings on more than 1600 single-house City Beach and Floreat blocks.

    Architect and planning policy specialist Jenny Marschner, a member of the group, says art-ists drawings in the brochure sent to householders by the council bear little resem-blance to the fi nal outcomes that will be built under amend-ment 31.

    She said: The brochure states that the overriding principle is that these build-ings must look like houses and that they must have less physical impact than a typical large house.

    Manor house developments could, in fact, look like two separate double-storey houses of different aesthetics with a

    driveway between them.There is no requirement for

    a manor house development to look like a single house within the proposed scheme amend-ment text.

    The amendment has been ini-tiated by Cambridge council and is open for public comment.

    The development standards and conditions within the amendment are open to a broad interpretation by developers, Ms Marschner said.

    The built footprint of any of the proposed developments is allowed to be 10% greater than that of a single house under the R-codes.

    Therefore, the duplex and manor house developments are likely to be bigger than a typical large house that complies with the R-codes deemed-to-comply provisions.

  • Wake-up on weeding

    Two recent reports are wake-ups call to councils and shires to review their weed treatment policies, particularly their use of chemical treatments including glyphosate-based weedkillers such as Roundup.

    The World Health Organisation has reclas-sifi ed glyphosate as a probable carcinogen, only one step away for more testing time to confi rm.

    A Flinders University team led by Dr Fiona Young has found that Roundup is an endo-crine disruptor to human cells below the levels allowed by regulators in drinking water and that the added components or adjuvants are not inert as previously claimed by the patent owners.

    We call on Australias regulators to urgently review their previous approvals.

    Another gift to speculators?

    A report said that the Department of Defence did not have enough money to maintain its vast property portfolio, and recommended selling 17 bases (Ambitious plans for Irwin Barracks, POST, April 4).

    Will these be sold at bargain-basement prices like the $100 million price tag put on the housing lots at the SAS bar-racks in Swanbourne, near the ocean?

    And the Coalition plans to sack hundreds and hundreds of departmental administrators.

    No wonder there is a money shortage, if the Abbott Government among its many amusing blunders, is going to spend millions of dollars send-ing a few soldiers to teach the Iraqis how to fi ght.

    Again. Giving gifts to speculators

    and investors is a habit, also, of the Coalition running the WA government.

    R e f r e s h m y m e m o r y , but wasnt Burswood land worth $90million offered to a billionaires firm for $60million?

    And isnt the Fire Station in Hay Street, Perth, to be sold for

    a $24million loss to a company planning to build a hotel, which the state government says is much needed?

    Honour due to forgotten warriorsI applaud the sentiments of

    Dr Bill Edgar regarding the jingoism in articles about the centenary of the landing of the Anzacs at Gallipoli in 1915 (Lest we forget our origins, Letters, POST, April 4).

    An example of the use of jingoism in the Oxford English Dictionary Second Edition is: 1895 The Times 1 Nov. The President puts himself on record against the empty bluster which is the note of jingoism.

    If people want to learn how and when the indomitable spirit and fortitude were forged in Australia, they need to read the short story by Henry Lawson, The Drovers Wife, published in 1892, or The Tree of Man, by Patrick White.

    The emphasis on the events 100 years ago to me seems to divert attention from the respect and gratitude owed to the veterans of the Korean War, the war in Vietnam and the recently com-pleted Operation Slipper in the Middle East, as well as a number

    of peace-keeping missions.These are collectively known

    as the forgotten wars.Is it incompetence or con-

    spiracy that the federal govern-ment pours millions of dollars into Gallipoli-related events, but does not provide adequate funds and resources to amel-iorate the physical and mental health needs of the veterans of the forgotten wars? Let alone relationship problems.

    Perhaps allocating funds to the living veterans would impinge on the entitlements of Members of Parliament.

    The Operation Slipper Welcome Home parade was held on Saturday, March 21.

    The West published nothing on Monday, March 23, and 2 pages about Gallipoli on Tuesday, March 24, but no pictures or ar-ticles by writers from The West about the Operation Slipper Welcome Home parade.

    Lest we remember.John Stickle

    Subi survives, now save urban bushlandHooray for the City of Subiacos survival!

    And goodbye to an amalgamation plan that promised little but costly upheaval and reduced community input to decision making.

    Now its time to save the 32ha of bush at

    Underwood Avenue. Im glad to hear Curtin MP Julie Bishop is concerned, because it appears that the Coalition-driven threat to federal funding for universities is pushing UWA to a hard bottom-line approach.

    Its time for UWA to lead the way in the conservation of urban bushland before its too late. Its happening Australia-wide; its happening in Margaret River and Perth: the destruction of beautiful tracts of bush that have long been valued as adding character and life to urban areas.

    Cull fighters celebrate

    Subiaco council will celebrate the defeat of the Barnett govern-ments council cull with an after-noon tea on Sunday, April 19.

    It will open the doors of the Palms Community Centre to up to 20 community groups from Canning, Cockburn, Kwinana and Kalamunda as well as Cottesloe, Nedlands, Mosman Park and Peppermint Grove, plus mayors and politicians who fought the cull.

    Party-goers are expected to in-clude the mocked up undertakers who carried a coffi n outside the Supreme Court to mark the death of democracy, much to the chagrin of Premier Colin Barnett.

    One of the organisers, Subiaco councillor Julie Matheson, said the afternoon tea was to thank people for their efforts.

    Subiaco mayor Heather Henderson will give a short history of the Dadour amendment, which gives residents the right to vote in a referendum on any merger.

    It was introduced into the Local Government Act in the 1970s by the then Liberal MP for Subiaco, Dr Tom Dadour, to block a plan by Nedlands to take Crawley from Subiaco.

    Its use in February defeated the council cull policy.

    Like several other councils, Subiaco council was due to be abol-ished and taken over by Cambridge council on July 1.

    On Friday (April 10) the council resurrected Subiaco Day to mark its survival as a municipality.

    University council claims bogus

    Rock star Charlotte Viney, who fi rst picked up a guitar last year, is an award-winning songwriter. Photo: Paul McGovern

    Charlotte follows in McCartneys footsteps

    Charlotte Viney and Paul McCartney have more than one thing in common.

    Both are songwriters and both wrote the scores of popu-lar songs before deciding on the lyrics.

    Charlotte, a Year 10 student at Methodist Ladies College, won the schools 14- and-under category in West Australian Musics Song of the Year con-test for her song Hurricane.

    I picked up a guitar last year for the fi rst time because I thought people looked really cool playing it and I wanted to look cool, too, Charlotte said.

    She learnt piano when younger, and played the uku-lele and koto (a harp) while living in Japan.

    Charlotte said the crowd erupted when it was an-nounced she had won her category.

    I got really scared because I didnt know what to say, she said.

    My friends Claire and Libby were screaming at me.

    As with Paul McCartneys Yesterday, Charlottes notes came before the words.

    I wrote it in maybe 10

    minutes in a lesson and we recorded it in that lesson, she said.

    Charlot te performed Hurricane on stage on her Telecaster guitar in MLCs Hadley Hall during lunchtime with Panic Pony, a band of MLC girls.

    She said she listened to The Vamps, One Direction and the Arctic Monkeys.

    I also listen to The 1975. I like their music a lot, Charlotte said.

    Her mother Jacinta said Charlotte practised in her bedroom.

    The neighbours quite like it, and a boy two doors down gets on his drums when she does, Jacinta said.

    The lunchtime concert was the first time Jacinta had seen her daughter perform in public.

    Charlotte said she wanted to try music as a career, but if it didnt work she would try medicine.

    Charlotte praised her brilliant music teacher, Craig Pinkney.

    Panic Pony is Allysha Saw (lead guitar and vocals), Abigail Chew (bass), Lucie Anderson (rhythm guitar and vocals), Germaine Ong (drums) and Sadie Leighton (keyboard).

    UWAs claim that having its Crawley campus spread across three council areas is holding back the univer-sity are bogus, the mayor of Subiaco says.

    Mayor Heather Henderson was responding to a comment by the University of WA in last weeks POST that the 53ha site divided between Perth, Subiaco and Nedlands cre-ated unnecessary red tape and planning problems.

    In its statement, UWA said that it would benefit from what it called a more rational system of local government across the campus.

    Mrs Henderson said the universitys vice-chancellor had been lobbying extensively for the institution to come

    under the control of Perth city council.

    Its an anomaly that they say they only want to deal with one council when in fact we (Subiaco and Nedlands) only control the parking around there and we have little in-volvement with them, Mrs Henderson said.

    When a development ap-plication comes to Subiaco we make a comment but it goes to the WA Planning Commission for approval.

    So they really need to work with the WAPC, the Heritage Council and the Swan River Trust, its not like the cities of Subiaco and Nedlands are at loggerheads over that sort of thing.

    Mrs Henderson and Subiaco CEO Ian Hill met local MP Bill Marmion two weeks ago

    to discuss the issue.I said to Bill Marmion, the

    fact they want to be governed by one council doesnt neces-sarily mean it needs to go to the City of Perth because for all the interaction we have with them either Subiaco or Nedlands could do it, she said.

    I made it very clear that I thought UWA could just as easily stay with the City of Subiaco as go to the City of Perth.

    We went through the issue and he listened to us and made the comment that in the end he would be consulted by the Premier about the boundary adjustments in that ward.

    Its tough getting past April Letton.

    The Subiaco netballer helped her side maintain its unbeaten run last week-end.

    The West Coast Fever beat reigning champions Melbourne Vixens 53-47 at Challenge Stadium and kept their place on top of the ladder.

    It was the fi rst time in fi ve years the Fever had beaten the Vixens.

    Match reports sa id tothersiders found it hard work getting past April and fellow defender Josie Janz-Dawson.

    No smoke without fi reworks

    The AFL season got off to an unusually dramatic start at Subiaco Oval last weekend.

    For the first time the Fremantle Dockers who were playing Port Adelaide started a new tradition of a 60 second fi reworks dis-play before bounce down and again at the end if they won, accompanied by AC/DCs TNT.

    The Dockers won, so fans were treated to a double display of what are techni-cally classed as theatrical effects, which do not require a permit from the Department of Mines and Petroleum.

    But a fire in a kitch-en around lunchtime caused a big smoke cloud and brought fi ries from Wembley fi re station.

    The kitchen fi re report-edly caused about $1mil-lion of damage.

    Just last month the WAFC and a partner company an-nounced they would spend $2million improving food services at the stadium.

    Cleaning up at the MRA

    A lucrative contract to clean the Forrest Place of-fi ces of the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority was awarded recently.

    Twenty-six cleaning fi rms applied for the work with the government agency.

    The MRA which is responsible for the rede-velopment of a number of sites across Perth, including Subi Centro has given

    secret mode for 24 minutes on Tuesday night before deciding ZD Constructions 93 would get the tender to design, supply and install the toilet.

    The toilet will be near Stirling Highway, south-east of the bus stop.

    Police told the council they preferred the toilet being close to the highway to lessen the chance of antisocial behaviour and crime.

    Building could start early next month and will take four to six weeks, depend-ing on weather.

    There will be three uni-sex toilets, one of which will have universal ac-cess.

    Son of Hogesshows talent

    In 1973 a young colt named Tony Hoges Hogan made his debut for Subiaco.

    Hoges was rangy, stood 190cm tall and had undeni-able ability.

    He could turn a patch of turf into a trampoline and seemed destined to achieve great things as a ruckman in WA football.

    On this particular day, Hoges took the mark of the year only to then squander the opportunity by scoring a point.

    Unfortunately, Hoges did a knee and his brief career was over.

    Last week, Hoges son, Jesse, made his footy debut with an impressive match for the Melbourne Demons.

    Young Hogan looked every bit the star his dad might have been, having nine kicks for two goals and taking seven strong marks.

    Looking at the pedigree, its no wonder the lad can play a bit.

    Mamils make gradeThere are five types

    of cyclists, according to Claremont councillor Paul Kelly.

    Mamils (middle-aged men in Lycra), coffee groups, commuters, youth

    and mature age, he told Tuesday nights meeting.

    He was responding to councillor Peter Brownes observation there were only two sub-species, pelo-tons and commuters.

    Councillors were discuss-ing Bruce Haynes motion to approve a cycleway on both sides of Victoria Avenue.

    Mr Haynes said he reckoned about triple the number of riders used Victoria Avenue than the railway cycle path.

    Mr Kelly said a bike counter in Victoria Avenue was sometimes blocked by parked cars.

    Councillors approved the motion. CEO Stephen Goode said a report with costs was needed.

    the job to International Cleaning Services, which has an offi ce in Norwood, South Australia, and gives mobile numbers for its op-erations in other Australian and New Zealand cities.

    The contract is for an estimated $355,000 from February this year to the end of January 2020.

    Clare the turtle has at last been returned home to Lake Claremont, fi t and healthy and with a royal title.

    After a month in rehab, the old long-necked turtle, now known as Lady Clare Mont, was driven in air-conditioned comfort back to the lake last week.

    On arrival she scrambled to get out of her box, clearly recognising her familiar sur-roundings.

    When placed by the lake she quickly made her way into the water, disappeared under the surface and swam away into the gathering darkness, leaving a trail of bubbles that indicated where she was.

    Lady Clare was rescued in March from a murder of

    attacking crows, technically Australian ravens.

    The long-necked turtles that inhabit Lake Claremont are vulnerable to predation by ravens and foxes.

    The Town of Claremont and the Friends of Lake Claremont are working together to protect the amphibians.

    Lady Clare, a big female, was admitted for rehabilita-tion under the expert care of the Turtle Oblonga Rescue and Rehabilitation Network (Crow attack leaves Clare raven mad, POST, March 7).

    Clare has now been nursed back to full health.

    After having her vital statis-tics recorded (weight, length and estimated age of 30 to 40 years), Clare received treat-ment for an ulcerated eye, a course of antibiotics to deal with the risk of infection, and tasty morsels to eat to help

    with her overall health and energy levels.

    Her carer reports that on one occasion Clare devoured two small fi sh and a mouse at a single sitting.

    Wildlife carers usually have a variety of frozen wildlife food supplies on hand.

    We wish Clare well and hope that, now that she is back in her accustomed habitat, she will thrive and maybe even produce a clutch of baby turtles that will call Lake Claremont home.

    If you see turtles near the lake, please be careful not to disturb them.

    If you see a turtle in distress or danger, rescue it and call the Turtle Oblonga Network on 0414 476 867.

    Oblonga estimates the lifespan of long or snake-necked turtles at more than 40 years.

    Cubby house worries neighbourA cubby house that backs on

    to a drainage sump in Nedlands has upset a neighbour who plans to install a swimming pool.

    Planners are advising council-lors to grant a permit for the cubby (pictured right) on condition it is screened.

    Council staff told the owners of a house in Marita Road, just off Stirling Highway, to apply for backdated permission after learn-ing the cubby had been built.

    The roof is 2.8m high.One neighbour was worried about

    being overlooked and the effect on the value of his property.

    We are planning to build

    a swimming pool in our backyard in the future, the neighbour said.

    A n o t h e r neighbour, who said he was a long-term resident, was worried about the proximity to a sewer.

    The Water Corporation said it was not a problem because the cubby was light and unlikely to sink.

    Planners urge action over Capt Stirling siteIdeas for redeveloping two

    Nedlands sites to stop the government taking control are needed urgently, city plan-ners say.

    Proposals for one site, the Captain Stirling Hotel, which has been twice targeted by Woolworths, should be drawn up alongside plans for the nearby shopping centre, the planners say.

    They want urgent action to stop the government stepping

    in and taking control of the development of the hotel site and the nearby Captain Stirling shopping centre site in Stirling Highway.

    Planners said they wanted the council to carry out a study of the area to ensure the council was in the best position and to avoid strategic decision making being taken out of council hands.

    Planning Minister John Day could order the council to alter its town planning scheme if the

    council turns down another ap-plication like Woolworths.

    And a redevelopment appli-cation for the shopping centre could go straight to the govern-ment-appointed development assessment panel, they said.

    A robust study would mini-mise the risk, planners said.

    Extra traffi c and movements on and off Stirling Highway were a major worry for residents when the supermarket propos-als were raised for the Captain

    Stirling site.The shopping centre is cur-

    rently up for sale following the death of the previous owner, a relative of Marie Louise Wordsworth, who owns the hotel site on the opposite side of Florence Road.

    A call for potential buyers was made in February.

    A spokeswoman for agent Colliers International said no deal had yet been made.

    Planners said: The shopping

    centre is currently being sold and it is expected this will lead to requests for redevelopment.

    The community have indi-cated that although they do not agree with recent proposals they do accept the need for rede-velopment and want council to come up with a clear direction including more appropriate planning provisions.

    Councillors will consider on Tuesday putting up the money for a study.

    Gay blade held to accountDave Stevenson pretended to

    be a bank worker so he could get his man.

    The Wembley police station acting offi cer-in-charge caught a man who allegedly left a 30cm kitchen knife in the left arm of his boyfriend, a Wandana resident.

    Sergeant Stevenson will allege Joseph John Cowling (27) told the Public Trustee he needed money to move interstate after the March 22 offence.

    Sergeant Stevenson rushed to the Trustees Perth offi ce when he knew Cowling was there, but missed him by minutes.

    After learning Cowling had an account at the Commonwealth Bank, Sergeant Stevenson ar-ranged that he could withdraw money from the banks main St Georges Terrace branch only.

    Sergeant Stevenson spent a day in a bank uniform, but Cowling did not show up.

    The next day the policeman dressed as a mortgage broker and Cowling was the third cus-tomer in.

    Cowling, was handcuffed as he stood in front of a bank teller.

    He was charged with unlawful wounding with aggravation.

    Claremont couple Catherine and Greg Hughes called their baby son Riley because it meant courageous.

    It suited him from the moment he was born, Greg said.

    If he had been a girl we had 15 options.

    But Riley stuck and we loved it.

    Riley died aged four weeks from whooping cough on March 17 in Princess Margaret Hospital.

    Since then Catherine and Greg have been raising awareness about the importance of vac-cinations.

    Because his death was so senseless we have been trying to fi nd a purpose, Catherine said.

    The couple were unprepared for the media attention, but say it helped get the message out.

    In the days after his death we agreed it couldnt be in vain, Greg said.

    We wanted to do something in his honour, and we are very proud of what he has achieved so far.

    Catherine (28) is a Suzuki violin teacher and went to Hollywood Primary School and Shenton College.

    Greg (29) is an airport safety offi cer.

    They have a daughter, Olivia (3.

    On Thursday afternoon they

    went to Guildford, where a cafe handed them a weekends profi ts for their fundraising.

    We have kept ourselves really, really busy, Catherine said.

    Greg said they had been touched by the many gestures they had received.

    It is a time where your faith in humanity is tested a bit, he said.

    But then there are these amazing acts of generosity.

    Riley was too young to be vac-cinated: the Hughes were relying on herd immunisation.

    Catherine and Greg said the comparatively low immunisation rates in the western suburbs were part of the problem.

    Its disappointing. We prob-ably assumed we were in a suburb with high vaccination rates, Greg said.

    Were not here to point the fi nger. Were here to educate.

    People have told the Hughes they were against vaccination

    until they read their story.If your child is not vaccinated,

    is doesnt just affect you: it af-fects the whole community, Greg said.

    Catherine said: It is part of being a conscientious person.

    The Hughes said welfare pay-

    ments being withdrawn from parents who refused to immu-nise should be a last resort.

    We want better incentives

    and education, Catherine said.

    Greg said myths around vac-cination needed to be busted.

    No religion has an anti-vaccine view, he said.

    Vaccines cause autism, or have mercury? Those myths are

    not founded in fact at all.Catherine urged expectant

    and new parents to speak to their GPs.

    Its natural for parents to have questions, she said.

    Greg said the internet was good and bad when it came to reliable information.

    We looked for answers after our son died, he said.

    The first three websites look legitimate, but they are anti-vaccination.

    The AVN (Australian Vaccination-skeptics Network, f o r m e r l y k n o w n a s t h e Austral ian Vaccinat ion

    Network) sounds legitimate until you look into it.

    Greg and Catherine will be in the HBF Run for a Reason next month and encourage people to join them.

    So far they have raised just over $46,000 for research.

    We wanted to raise a thou-sand dollars a day for each day Riley was alive, but have exceeded that, Greg said.

    If you are unsure about your immunisation, get a blood test done to check your im-munity.

    Catherine said: We are pushing for a national adult immunisation register.

    Memories Catherine and Greg Hughes treasure hand prints of their son, Riley, between those of daughter Olivia.

    Burglar left DNA on shaverAfter breaking into a Mosman Park home

    last year, Anthony Boccamazzo moved his bowels in the bathroom and then used an electric shaver in the main ensuite.

    While at the Gill Street home he stole prop-erty, including jewellery valued at $3700 but left his DNA on the shaver.

    On Monday, Supreme Court judge John McKechnie sentenced Boccamazzo to six years jail for seven crimes, including the Gill Street burglary.

    Justice McKechnie described Boccamazzos actions on November 9 last year as a crime spree.

    Boccamazzo (30) stole a car after telling an eight-year-old boy to get out of it and waved a replica pistol at several drivers and cab-bies.

    You told the pre-sentence report writer that you had little recollection of the events because you were fried on drugs at the time and barely remembered what you did, Justice McKechnie said.

    Boccamazzo, who was made eligible for parole, was also fi ned $6650 for various of-fences.

    Centre fined $9000 over missing childThe YMCA vocational care

    centre at Princess Margaret Hospital has been fi ned $9000 for failing to adequately super-vise a child in its care.

    The State Administrative Tribunal was told on April 2 that the centre was responsible for children on a school holiday excursion to Kings Park on September 30 last year.

    In her judgment, tribunal member Charlotte Wallace said parents had authorised an excursion to the Kings Park Lotterywest Playground.

    But, she said, the chartered bus dropped the children and staff at the Kings Park Synergy Parklands and left before staff became aware it was not the authorised destination.

    She said a supervisor decided the excursion would continue.

    The Kings Park Lotterywest Playground is fully enclosed by a fence and contains no water hazards.

    The Kings Park Synergy

    Parklands is not enclosed and contains a significant water hazard, she said.

    Ms Wallace said that, about 11.40am, staff realised one of the children, known to require addi-tional supervision, was missing.

    The child was found more than 20 minutes later on the opposite side of the parklands with a family unconnected with the centre.

    The child had not been su-pervised by the service during that period, she said.

    Ms Wallace gave the centre 28 days to pay the $9000 and or-dered it to pay $1500 in costs.

    China Green land sales botchedThe redevelopment of the

    former Australian Fine China factory site in Subiaco has been botched by the government agency responsible for the project, according to a former community activist.

    Three big blocks of the 4.4ha of land in Hay Street are still unsold nearly four years after they were fi rst put on the market, according to Kevin Wulff, the former president of Subiaco

    China Green Action Group (SCGAG).

    Contracts for another three plots that were also put up for sale in July 2011 were signed in January this year but set-tlement hinges on a number of contract milestones being reached fi rst.

    Nine lots for single houses and two other blocks on which Pindan is currently building apartment blocks were, however, snapped up within months.

    Mr Wulff, a Subi Centro resi-dent, said residents views and

    a healthy approach to develop-ment had been sidelined by the Subiaco Redevelopment Authority, which was ab-sorbed into the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority in 2012.

    By contrast, Subiaco coun-cils approach to redevelop-ing the nearby former Bosich engineering factory had been exemplary, speedy and success-ful, he said.

    Mr Wulff approached North Metropolitan MLC Ken Travers to get information in parliament

    about the sale of lots in China Green when he saw how quickly two big blocks of the council-owned land had sold to buyers prepared to pay more than the asking price.

    Lots 12 and 13 of the Bosich land which is now being called Carter Lane measure 843sq.m and 1712sq.m respectively and were put on the market late last year.

    Lot 12 was valued at $2.5mil-lion but sold for $2.9million in February, while the big lot was also valued at $5.6million but

    went for $6.85million.Eleven individual house lots

    there are expected to go on the market this month or in May.

    In the case of Carter Lane, the council were very keen to get community input in the process of developing the scheme, even to the extent of having a com-munity workshop early in the process, Mr Wulff said.

    So the end plan was very much endorsed by the commu-nity, and includes a good amount

    for eight months after being caught with a blood alcohol level above 0.05.

    Gino de Mori (69), of West Leederville, was also fi ned $600 and ordered to pay $150.80 court costs, when he appeared in the Perth Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

    New home for autismAutism West has moved into new offi ces

    at Rocky Bay in Mosman Park. It is leasing three rooms to provide a new

    home for its social and life skills programs and space for Autism Wests extensive library of books, games and developmental toys avail-able to its members.

    The move from Nedlands will give Autism West the chance to share further resources with Rocky Bay.

    The move not only makes sense for us in terms of our bricks and mortar location, but the incredible natural surroundings in which Rocky Bay is located can only enhance the services we provide to the community, Autism West chairman Silvana Gaglia said.

    Autism Wests new phone number is 9383 6123.

    Fishy happenings at Shenton Park

    A Shenton Park research centre dedicated to breeding endangered fi sh species and reintroducing them into nature has been quietly shut down by the Department of Fisheries.

    The department, which ran the Aquaculture and Native Breeding Laboratory at UWAs Shenton Park fi eld centre, an-nounced a world fi rst for the facility to some fanfare last August.

    The breakthrough was a suc-cessful breeding program for the critically endangered western trout minnow, one of Australians rarest freshwater fi sh.

    In 2006 it was estimated that between 2000 and 5000 of them remained in the wild.

    The lab the biggest facility of its type in Australia, with 50 massive water tanks that allow scientists and students to carry out large-scale research projects was set up in 1994 as a col-laboration between Fisheries and UWA.

    Fisheries did not answer a question about the reason for the closure, which the POST understands was unexpected.

    The departments executive director research, Dr Rick Fletcher, issued a statement.

    One of the Department of Fisheries freshwater breed-ing projects, which has been conducted at the UWA Shenton Park facility, is now ceasing, with the staff reassigned to other, higher priority projects, Dr Fletcher said.

    Some of the native fi sh brood stock that were developed during the project are to be transferred to the departments own fresh-

    water facility at Pemberton and the Shenton Park laboratory will be left in an operating condition for other uses by UWA, which owns the facility.

    Restocking and replenishing native fi sh species has several environmental benefi ts, accord-ing to the department.

    One is that fi sh prey on mos-quito larvae, which in turn con-trols mosquito-borne diseases such as Ross River virus.

    Part of a $150,000 state govern-ment grant in 2009 was used to build an artifi cial wetland at the lab for teaching and research purposes.

    Subiaco council used the same facility in 2013 to test a polymer material that was proposed to be applied to the bottom of Lake Jualbup to stop most of the surface water leaking into an underground aquifer.

    The Fisheries Department was involved in those trials.

    Since then a polymer solution for the Shenton Park wetland has been mothballed because the council does not have the necessary approvals.

    UWA said it would continue to use the facility itself.

    The fisheries department has pulled the plug on vital research

    work carried out at the lab.

    Edi takes a bald move for HarryIm about to be bald!Edi Offer (10) has raised

    nearly $6800 for leukaemia patients and research into the disease.

    A chunk of the money came from fellow Cottesloe Primary School students when her head was shaved in the schools un-dercover area recently.

    Before she went bald, Edi told students she was doing it for her friend Harry Clark, who was diagnosed with leu-kaemia last year and was very resilient.

    He is having fun at school except sometimes is a bit shy to reveal his head in public, Edi said.

    Now that his hair has started

    to grow back hes enjoying himself more.

    He has had some tough times, like vomiting because of horrible medicine and not being allowed to go swim-ming.

    He still has to go to hospital often.

    But the good news is re-search is being done and lives are being saved.

    Harrys dad, Richard, wielded the clippers to remove Edis hair.

    Before the cut, Edi tapped 31 students on the head and asked them to stand up.

    Thats the same number who will be diagnosed (with leukaemia) in Australia today, she said.

    Students applauded wildly as Edis hair fell away.

    She asked students not to tease her about her head.

    Shes amazing and very persuasive, fellow student and student councillor Annabelle Butlin said about Edi.

    Diabetics probediscrimination

    Diabetes WA wants to fi nd out if sufferers are experienc-ing discrimination in their workplaces.

    As part of their 50th anniver-sary, Diabetes WA located on Hay Street in Subiaco is run-ning an online survey aimed at uncovering whether employers are properly catering for diabetic employees.

    Diabetes WA CEO Andrew Wagstaff said in recent years a number of people had reported unfair work practices or diffi culty gaining employment as a result of having diabetes.

    In 2015 we want to understand how widespread these practices are, he said.

    Historically diabetes as a chronic health condition has been much less well understood than some of the other conditions.

    Mr Wagstaff said diabetes was often overlooked as a chronic illness.

    For that reason people and workplaces dont always realise just how carefully diabetes needs to be managed, he said.

    For example, perhaps em-ployers arent aware that they should be offering a clean and private space for people with diabetes to check their blood glucose levels or administer insulin, he said.

    Participants in the survey are asked questions about what kind of diabetes they have, what in-dustry they work in and whether their diabetes has ever stopped them gaining employment or promotions.

    All responses and contact information are kept confi den-tial.

    You can fi nd the survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/DWAcommunitysurvey.

    Developers challenge Pavilion site terms

    Approval conditions for a $120million redevelopment of the Pavilion Markets in Subiaco have been challenged by the developers.

    Subigate lodged an appeal with the State Administrative Tribunal on March 19, seven days after the project had been given the green light with conditions by the Metro West Joint Development Assessment Panel.

    At that DAP meeting Malcolm Mackay who is a DAP panel member but who was repre-senting the developers of a

    planned eight-storey office block in nearby Seddon Street said it would be the worst planning decision in WA his-tory to approve the complex, which will have a 16-storey apartment tower.

    It was approved by four of the fi ve panel members, with 39 conditions and another 25 advice notes.

    It is not known which condi-tions are being challenged be-cause the developer, Ian Day, of D2 Property in Sydney, did not respond to questions.

    One of the conditions which was put forward by Subiaco council and adopted by the

    panel was for dilapidation reports to be carried out at the developers expense on about 30 properties and homes surrounding the development site.

    Another condition stated that any damage to build-ings in Rokeby or Roberts roads or Hay and Catherine streets should be fi xed when it happened and that repairs should be in keeping with the heritage or style of the affected buildings.

    The developers must split evenly with Subiaco council

    Charlies CyberKnife turns oneIn the United States, can-

    cer radiation treatment on a $9million CyberKnife will set you back up to $50,000, but at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital its free for public and private patients.

    All they need is their Medicare card and a referral from their specialist.

    Hospital staff celebrated the fi rst birthday of the only CyberKnife in Australia last Tuesday with some of its fi rst patients.

    Although its name sug-gests scalpels and surgery, the CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System does not involve cutting.

    Its linac (linear accelera-tor), which is mounted on a robotic arm similar to those used in car manufacturing, carefully delivers radiation treatment to tumours, while avoiding the surrounding healthy tissue.

    This also helps reduce the side effects commonly associ-ated with conventional radia-tion therapy.

    In its fi rst year of clinical use the CyberKnife has treated about 250 patients, including one with a 3mm trigeminal neuralgia tumour.

    SCGH chief radiation thera-pist Rachel Kearvell said it had treated cancers in the skull, lung, prostate, upper abdomen and spine.

    Using the CyberKnife means we are now treating patients more accurately and with fewer treat-ments than before, she said.

    For example, a prostate patient would be treated fi ve times over two weeks instead

    of our standard treatments of 39 visits over eight weeks.

    This is especially good for people with moving tumours in the upper abdomen and lung, and for some where a lengthy course of treatment means spending a long time away from home.

    With the CyberKnifes fi rst birthday, were keen to conduct research on our achievements so far using the information weve collected in our radio-surgery database and from our patients.

    Peter Anticich, of Nedlands, one of the first patients to be treated for a kidney tu-mour, said he had only three 40-minute treatments, fol-lowing CAT scans, an MRI and placement of a gold seed Fiducial marker to allow the CyberKnife to follow his bodys movements.

    A friend of mine had his cut out and was in hospital for four days, he said.

    I didnt need the trauma as I had my prostate removed last year and had blood clots. I didnt want any drama.

    Information about the

    CyberKnife system, including the kinds of cancer that will be considered for treatment and how to gain a referral, is available on the SCGH website www.scgh.health.wa.gov.au in the For visitors and patients section.

  • I was very disappointed to read (UWA turning its back, POST, April 4) that for Mark McGowan, the administrative convenience of the whole of UWA being in a single local authority jurisdiction is more important than the wishes of residents in areas near the uni-versity who would be swept with it willy-nilly into an enlarged City of Perth.

    UWAs needs could surely be served by setting up a joint planning committee comprising representatives of the cities of Perth, Subiaco and Nedlands to deal with matters affecting the university.

    Even if the wishes of UWA and Mr McGowan were fulfi lled, UWA would still have proper-ties outside an enlarged City of Perth such as the Underwood

    Avenue site. At the same times Hollywood

    and Crawley would be forcibly removed from the South ward of Subiaco and pushed into the City of Perth, to their detriment in terms of services and access to councillors.

    Children who were sent to the school had an immediate impact on our society, bringing with them different cultures, traditions, religions and great diversity.

    Give parliament its due on Dadour revoltIts good to see Subiaco coun-

    cil planning to celebrate its survival (Subi celebrates its survival, POST, April 4).

    However, if the council wants to avoid future WA governments mounting similar amalgama-tion threats, then it needs to recognise that it was mostly parliament, not local community action, that defeated Premier Colin Barnett.

    The Dadour Group in Subiaco, like similar groups in other suburbs, was small.

    The number of people who actually got out knocking on doors or standing outside public places collecting signatures or otherwise soliciting opposition was tiny.

    Their influence on public opinion was correspondingly minor. Nevertheless, a healthy majority of residents opposed amalgamations, albeit that among this majority there was by no means universal support for the councils facing amalga-mation.

    The reasons amalgamations were so widely opposed, even by those unsupportive of their council, was clear from the com-ments made by the hundreds who signed our petitions.

    They were motivated by the litany of arrogant, deceptive

    and coercive acts perpetrated by the government.

    Due process and propriety were bypassed and this outraged them.

    Key dissident Liberal Party parliamentarians also voiced this outrage when the govern-ment sought to scupper the Dadour poll provisions in leg-islation that was passed by the lower house in late 2013.

    The legislation was then aban-doned in 2014 after the National Party had a grassroots revolt forcing it to pay respect to its constitutional support for com-munity level government.

    Further, after supporting the governments Dadour-scuppering legislation in the lower house, Labors upper house members joined dissident Liberals and Nationals to oppose it.

    The Barnett government elected to ignore parliaments opposition and pushed ahead, exploiting ambiguity in the wording of the Dadour poll law to deny a vote to the resi-dents of key councils, such as Subiaco.

    However, dissident liberal MLA John McGrath made his support for this strategy condi-tional on his electors in South Perth, getting a Dadour poll.

    That poll narrowly qualifi ed as

    a veto and this caused a Liberal Party room revolt that in turn led to the Premier running up the white fl ag on forced amal-gamations.

    This history of events is im-portant to understand because after spending over $97,000 on a Supreme Court challenge, Subiaco only managed to confi rm that a Dadour poll could indeed be avoided due to the ambiguous way the law is worded.

    Correcting this ambiguity can now only be done by parliament because Subiaco has abandoned its appeal against the ruling.

    Getting parliament to re-visit the highly divisive amalgama-tions issue will require a lot of persuasion.

    When Subiaco comes to cel-ebrating its survival it must unambiguously acknowledge the deep debt all councils owe to the principled parliamen-tarians who opposed forced amalgamations.

    Showing this respect for parlia-ment is the best possible way to elicit its support for clarifi cation of the Dadour clause so that residents can have a right to vote on any future amalgama-tion proposal.

    Medium density beats high-riseReading the personal views of

    David Airey I could only think nimby (Small blocks will spoil Floreat, Letters, POST, March 28).

    I wonder if Mr Airey had thought the same when multi-storey buildings were being approved in Subiaco and West Leederville.

    Those buildings were, and are, being approved over the objection of not only neighbour-ing homeowners but also some were strenuously objected to by the local councils and were against all planning norms.

    I am sure the ratepayers in Catherine Street in Subiaco had not moved there with a 16 or 29-storey building next door in mind!

    Why should City Beach and Floreat, or indeed Dalkeith or Nedlands, be treated any differ-ently to any other suburb?

    If changes to our suburbs

    have to be accepted then every locality should be treated the same way.

    Medium-density housing in the inner suburbs is perhaps inevitable, but is it not better to have two or three-storey houses on smaller blocks rather than plonking a 20-storey building next to an existing house?

    Let us be reasonable and accept that changes in life-style should be fairly borne by everyone.

    The government cannot and should not change transport policies and planning rules at the behest of one section of the community.

    These rules affect everyone and should be fair and residents should have some say.

    Consultation is useless if sug-gestions are not listened to.

    Peter Hobbs wrote of City Beach Kids gone, but we want to downsize and stay here (Letters, POST, March 28).

    When we were fi rst in our home, our children went to the local primary school just down the hill.

    Our kids have long gone from the family home, though they are still in Perth.

    We have modifi ed a few bits of the home towards universal access, and hope to age in it (it is close to QEII Medical Centre, etc).

    The house has three bedrooms, so we do have more space than immediate needs, but friends and family stay every so often.

    The 890sq.m block is fairly low-maintenance, with mostly productive trees (much ap-

    preciated by the cockatoos unfortunately) and, of course, a small barbecue and pergola for outdoor gatherings.

    Water and power consumption is minimal.

    We suggest we and Peter Hobbs could both be well served by retaining family houses with gardens in areas close to primary schools and restricting re-zoning to higher densities to areas away from such schools.

    The local community works well.

    Mixed ages in a neighbour-hood is okay.

    Some of us oldies are happy to look after our homes and gardens hoping that future generations will value them as we have.

    Age gracefully in family home

    Glossy brochure, poor policyI did as suggested stayed

    calm and read the brochure (Withers quizzed on links, POST, March 28).

    All I found was very poor policy wrapped in a glossy marketing brochure along with lots of spin to try to make it palatable to people who dont read the detail or think the consequences through fully.

    What is proposed will be a boon for developers while doing nothing for the residents of the suburbs.

    It will destroy the look and feel of the area and the reason we chose to live here.

    Trees and the feeling of space will go and traffi c congestion will increase.

    People wanting to downsize and stay in the area will still not be able to because the prices of these properties will be prohibitive just look at prices at Ocean Mia.

    If I wanted to live in this

    version of utopia I would have moved to Doubleview or Scarborough.

    I prefer the big block with trees, birds and some separa-tion from my neighbours.

    The council is trying to turn something which is quite unique and highly sought-after into something that can be found all through the Perth suburbs.

    I have not been seduced by the spin of a glossy brochure or the promise of a fortune to be made if I sell my property.

    I am still calm, just very angry at the arrogance councillors have shown.

    Part of the mayors job is to listen to the wishes of the resi-dents and take this into account when formulating policy.

    The majority have previously stated we do not want this type of development, as the results in the brochure show.

    Results of a Cambridge council survey show 39% of respondents prob-ably or defi nitely would choose a maisonette but 50% probably or

    defi nitely would not.

    Anywhere but my backyard!

    Sean LEstrange MLAs let-ter (Cambridge amendments wrong for City Beach, Floreat, Letters, POST, April 4) says that increased density in City Beach and Floreat should only take place on undeveloped sites, such as Ocean Mia and Perry Lakes, and close to major activ-ity centres on major transport corridors.

    Ocean Mia is the only develop-ment site in City Beach.

    Its 60 housing lots have been sold and there remains a single height-limited apartment block to be built.

    The only activity centre in that area on a major transport corridor is Floreat Forum.

    Is Mr LEstrange proposing that apartments should be built around Floreat Forum only? And if so, how many?

    Or is he saying that all the additional housing should be built in Wembley and West Leederville?

    It is too convenient to say that there should be no development in My Backyard (City Beach) without indicating where de-velopment should go.

    Mr LEstrange cannot be let off the hook.

    He has an obligation to all in Cambridge to tell us where the additional housing required by his governments policies should be built.

    Tree loppers escape censureAuthorities say they cannot

    enforce orders made against tree loppers who have been the subject of a long list of complaints.

    A Dalkeith resident contacted the POST about Sean Robert Weinthal after he said shoddy pruning was done on his lilly-pilly trees.

    Steven Noske read about Mr Weinthal dumping clippings in Nedlands (Tree loppers in trou-ble again, POST, March 21) and found the lopper had registered new business names and ABNs on February 7 and 24.

    Mr Weinthal worked for Tracey Gordons West Australian Tree Services (WATS). Consumer Protection made two enforce-ment orders against WATS, the

    latest on February 18.The new business names are

    West Coast Trees and West Coast Tree Professionals. The address is Agonis Place, Wanneroo.

    It is my opinion West Coast Trees was established to avoid the compliance with the enforce-ment orders, Mr Noske said.

    He said West Coast Trees did a rushed job on his property and started work without his authorisation.

    The personnel acted in a confrontational manner, hav-ing packed up and expected to leave after less than two hours of work, Mr Noske said.

    He said Mr Weinthal used high-pressure tactics to get the job, and the quote forms had not abided by the enforcement orders.

    Consumer Protections Dave Hillyard said the orders made
