Garden suburbs face radical changeMore than 1600 homeowners

will make big profi ts at the expense of their neighbours under a council plan to allow higher-density living in City Beach and Floreat, according to a local real estate agent.

Christopher Dee says the highly sought-after single resi-dential garden suburbs will be destroyed.

Owners of properties that are rezoned will make windfall prof-its, but the owners of remaining properties will lose out as their homes are devalued, he says.

He said City Beach and Floreat property prices were under threat by the new hous-ing choices amendment (No. 31) initiated by the Cambridge council.

The council has taken the major step of voting to adver-

tise the amendments for public comment.

This amendment greatly impacts the way City Beach and Floreat were originally designed to be, Mr Dee said.

These are garden suburbs with quiet ways, wide setbacks and tree-lined streets for our kids to enjoy.

The changes have become the number-one topic of local con-versation at schools, gatherings

and social events.A local public protest meeting

is being planned for Sunday, March 29.

More than ever before, the demographic of City Beach and Floreat is heavily weighted to-wards young families gravitating to this lifestyle, Mr Dee said.

Although we understand we must evolve, we have not had meaningful consultation prior to this amendment being

initiated.There will be winners and

losers if this amendment goes through, and the developers will swoop in, with residents being disadvantaged as their proper-ties devalue, Mr Dee said.

I urge the community to read the fi ne print and make a decision for the good of their suburbs.

Bikers upstage Bikers upstage sea sculpturessea sculptures

The creations of Harley and Davidson with their rid-ers took the crowds attention away from Sculp-tures by the Sea on Sunday. Nearly 200 motorbikes roared past the sculptures on Cottesloes Marine Parade on the way to raising more than $9000 for charity. We look like ratbags and people run away from us, said the Veterans Motorcycle Clubs Mick

Redmond. The club supported the 22 Crew, a group of ex-servicemen who get together for a beer and a chat. Mr Redmond said the riders raised $7100 for the RSPCA and $2000 for the Nollamara RSL. The riders also support Cypress Cottage, a Maylands home for ex-servicemen who need time out or are up from the country. More Sculpture by the Sea news on page 7

Cousins fledcops on foot

Former West Coast Eagles cap-tain Ben Cousins ran from police a f t e r h e w a s stopped in Mosman Park on Wednesday night, according to a witness.

Mr Cousins (36) is due in court next month on charges including failing to provide a breath sample.

Police say they saw a 4WD being driven erratically south of the river in Preston Point Road in Bicton at 10.30pm.

Offi cers allege Mr Cousins was driving and failed to stop when asked.

A Mosman Park resident said the 4WD had driven east in Gill Street, turned north into Solomon Street by the Gill Street Cafe, then stopped out-side a home before the driver got out.

He ran up Solomon and into Gill, but police caught up with him by a car, the resident said.

He was no trouble after that and police were respectful.

The resident said police had been in two unmarked cars and a marked paddy wagon.

She said the driver and police had been at the scene for about 90 minutes.

Mr Cousins, a Bicton resident, was taken to Fremantle police station then released at about 2am.

He was also charged with reckless driving and failing to stop.

The 4WD was taken away early on Thursday morning.

Mr Cousins is due to appear in the Fremantle Magistrates Court on April 8.

He played 270 AFL games with West Coast and Richmond and was banned from footy for a year in 2007 for bringing the game into disrepute.

The big dividein Cambridge

The recent vote at Cambridge council to approve duplex, triplex and quadruplex con-struction in the garden suburbs of City Beach and Floreat has exposed the east-west divide in the town.

Mayor and councillors from the East are imposing regressive Stalinist principles over the democratic freedoms of the West.

Ratepayers in Coast ward are preparing for a full-scale rejection of this outrage and will be forcefully applying their democratic rights to restore the previous planning standards.

Rod BradleyCambridge councillor

Its like a dictatorshipIf the public consultation process regarding

development proposals within the Town of Cambridge were any less democratic, the town would be known as the Peoples Republic of North Korea.

The only things missing from last months council meeting that I recently attended were everyone standing and clapping for 15 minutes on the entrance of Supreme Leader Withers, and all of us respectfully and drably attired in Kim suits.

Indeed, Im surprised I wasnt dragged out the back and shot for daring to rubbish the ghastly plans for an adjacent block when I had my three minutes to speak at the development services committee meeting previously.

I dare say theyre scheduling me for re-education ...

Paddlers spoil kids funThe traditional kids surf breaks around Cove

and Seconds in Cottesloe are inundated with grown men on stand-up paddle surfboards (SUPs).

Young kids trying to learn the traditional way to surf struggle to get a wave now as men with long boards and paddles push in on waves.

While many SUP riders understand the surf and keep to more appropriate spots, it seems many have never learnt to surf the proper way, and hence dont understand the surf etiquette that has developed over the years to give everyone a fair go, and to help keep the waters safe.

These guys have already taken over all the longboard breaks in the Cottesloe area, do they need to ruin surfi ng for our kids as well?

Heres Marmions chance tostand up for his electorate

I share the concerns of Tony Noakes regarding the future of the residents of the Hollywood and Crawley areas (Subiaco serves us much better than Perth would, POST, March 7).

More than 2000 of us still benefi t from the services, amenities and access to councillors we enjoy as part of Subiaco.

But we are in limbo.Fortunately, Premier Colin

Barnetts proposed forced mergers, which were disguised as bound-ary changes for both Subiaco and Cambridge councils, will not go ahead.

Some Liberal politicians have at last stood up and told Mr Barnett this would be an unpopular move and could cost them votes, if not seats.

Unfortunately, however, it ap-pears Mr Barnett still has his eyes fi xed on extending the boundaries of the City of Perth through the proposed City of Perth Act.

While Vincents inclusion has now been ruled out -- owing to the opposition of residents who faced the possibility of businesses hav-ing twice as many votes in local council elections as they would -- Hollywood and Crawley residents are still in the fi ring line.

Presumably, Mr Barnetts agenda would be for our residential sub-urbs to be taken over by public buildings related to the University

of WA and the QEII Medical Centre, and for us to become an extension of the Perth CBD.

This would completely change the nature of our beloved residen-tial suburbs.

Our amenities, services, and access to councillors would also be undermined.

Once again, Mr Barnett is demon-strating that he is more comfortable with force than consultation.

Will Nedlands MP Bill Marmion stand up for us on this issue, as other politicians have done for their constituents?

Heres his opportunity to tell the Premier that residents in his electorate deserve to be consulted, rather than bulldozed.

SAS base buyers willhave to cop the noise

Buyers who spend millions on blocks at Swanbourne need not bother complaining about the noise, Assistant Defence Minister Stuart Robert says.

With the greatest respect, I dont care, he said, talking about government plans an-nounced this week to sell about 40 housing blocks to the public at Seaward Village, next to the SAS base at Campbell Barracks.

Civilians living near the base complained this week about the noise from low-fl ying Black Hawk helicopters helping train SAS troops at the base.

They also tell of gun-fi re, including machine-guns, and explosions that startle them during day and night train-ing.

Mr Roberts said anyone buying land would know what to expect.

It is a working special forces base; it will be noisy, he said.

We are not changing any of our behaviours.

There is the national in-terest.

Anyone moving in should show respect for the military and gratitude for what they did, he said.

Mr Robert said selling land at the back of the village would help pay for the $180million project to replace current housing with bigger and better homes for army families.

He said no more than 25% of the village would be sold to the public.

I want my people to have better housing, he said.

Mr Robert said 165 houses would eventually replace the current 153.

We need to replace the houses because they are 20 or 30 years old. We cannot repair them, they are tiny and old, he said.

The rolling redevelopment will start at one end of the vil-lage and move to the other.

Families can stay where they are to keep contact with the community and move into the new houses as they are built.

Parking squeezedClaremont will lose about 300

parking spots next month.The spots will go when work

starts on realigning Shenton Road into the big unsealed carpark, where parking is free, that is used by up to 500 cars a day.

Residents complained as a row of mature trees between Shenton Road and the carpark was cut down and chipped this week.

Council CEO Stephen Goode said 100 free temporary bays would be provided at the corner of Shenton and Davies roads next to Claremont Oval.

Another 100 free bays will remain in the big carpark, close to the railway station.

Under a deal struck last year between the council, developers and the state government, the realignment cannot start until the temporary bays are available.

The original plan was that 200 parking bays in the basement of Claremont Football Clubs new grandstand would be the replacement bays, but the building will not be ready until mid-2016.

Hundreds of Claremont parking bays are going next month.

Apples for teachers and kids

Apples are ripe for the picking just in time for the offi cial opening of the Woodlands Primary School orchard.

Students have create the orchard along with a mini-market garden that produces vegetables, including garlic and kale.

Worm fertiliser is helping it fl ourish and is even for sale as worm whizz.

Money raised during the schools 50th anniversary year last year helped pay for the garden.

The exercise in sustainability has created an outdoor class-room and a source of produce to use in cookery classes.

Principal Kim Dullard said: The urban orchard signifi es the growth and establishment of the school over the last 50 years.

By redeveloping a space which had little purpose, we can reduce our environmen-tal footprint, become more self-suffi cient, create a new space to learn and produce a harvest of organic fruit for the schools students, for many years to come.

The gardens offi cial open-ing is at 3.30pm on Friday, March 13.

The signs are up but nobody is at home yet in the new Subiaco offi ces of WA Freemasons.

Two large square and compass signs have been erected on the red brick building at 61 Thomas Street, on the corner of Churchill Avenue.

A spokesman said no date had been set for the Freemasons to move into the former United Voice offi ce block, but he ex-

pected it to be occupied later this year.

WA Freemasons, which has its current headquar-ters in Adelaide Terrace, East Perth, bought the building, which had been on the market for $6.25million, last year.

It has since been busy refi tting it and making structural changes to create a state-of-the-art lodge room for members and offi ces.

Workers attach the Freemasons square and compass sign using a paper pattern. INSET: Sign unveiled and

China Green woos Chinese

The developer of two big apart-ment complexes at China Green in Subiaco has expanded opera-tions into mainland China.

Pindan is building two double blocks with 163 units on the site of the former Australian Fine China factory in Hay Street.

It is also responsible for a $76mil-lion apartment block that has just been built next to St Josephs Catholic Church in Salvado Road, as well as the redevelopment of St Catherines and St Thomas More colleges at UWA.

Pindan is also building a $28.5million apartment and shop-ping complex in Claremont.

Earlier this month, Pindan Capital, Pindans property funds management arm, opened an offi ce in Shanghai, one of the biggest cities in China.

Scott Davison, general man-ager at Pindan Capital, said the Perth developer had opened the China offi ce and one in Sydney in

January to support its long-term strategy of seeking investments outside WA.

Although Pindan has been active in China since 2006, the funds management business has increased its focus on interna-tional equity raising in the greater Chinese market during the past three years, Mr Davison said.

Over 25% of the external eq-uity investment currently raised by Pindan Capital is derived from overseas, with a signifi cant portion of this from our Chinese investors.

As we have already spent a lot of time in China over the recent years, establishing a permanent offi ce was the next step to support the growth and further promotion of Pindan Capitals Australian operations to the Chinese invest-ment market.

The Shanghai offi ce, the com-panys fi rst international outpost, will be run by Steven Pringle, from Pindans HQ in Perth.

Land promoted overseasSites in Jolimont, Claremont

and Mosman Park earmarked for big developments are being promoted to overseas investors.

Land in Minim Cove in Mosman Park, at Claremont Oval and the former nursery site in Jolimont are all identifi ed as investment op-portunities in LandCorps Foreign Investors Guide, published late last year.

The 28-page brochure includes a map of WA showing projects LandCorp, the state governments development agency, is involved in.

Three on the map are in the western suburbs.

LandCorp recently briefed Subiaco council about the rede-velopment of the Shenton Park Rehab Hospital site.

The Rehab closed last October.The 15ha site is not listed in

the LandCorp guide for foreign investors, which was published the same month.

The brochure gives foreign in-vestors guidance on undertaking

development projects in WA.It says overseas buyers need

the permission of the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) to buy property directly, but details a loophole in the system that allows them to acquire property easily.

Developers undertaking off-the-plan sales in developments exceeding 100 lots may obtain an upfront approval to sell to foreign persons, the LandCorp guide states.

Purchasers then do not need to make their own individual applica-tion for FIRB approval.

It says developer approvals are usually granted if the developer will market lots within Australia as well as overseas.

The guide has information about the Signifi cant Investment Visa (SIV) which the federal government introduced in 2012 to boost investment by high net worth foreign individuals and how this may lead to permanent residency for investors who meet Australias criteria.

Subi joins move to save ovalEight years after the last

bid to heritage list Subiaco oval was abandoned, a new push is under way to save the century-old grounds from development.

Subiaco councillors voted unanimously at a committee meeting on Tuesday night to recommend the ovals 191m by 132m area of turf be placed on the state heritage list.

Councillor Mark Burns, who proposed the motion, said heritage listing would prevent the grassed area from being sold for housing (POST, February 28).

We protect the fi eld, and by protecting the field we control what happens around it, he said.

The proposal will still need to go before the full council later this month but is likely to be approved.

The Heritage Council of WA put the ovals listing out for feedback in 2004 but executive director Graeme Gammie said issues that had been raised could not be resolved and the listing was abandoned in 2007.

The Heritage Council is open to re-examining the pos-sibility of including Subiaco oval on the state register if a renewed approach is made, he said.

Subiaco council has given the WA Football Commission a 99-year peppercorn lease on the stadium.

The WA Football Commis-sion believes that the reten-tion of the oval in any future redevelopment of the lease area is highly desirable but has not formed a fi nal view on the heritage listing of the oval itself, a spokesman said.

Importantly, the oval still remains the home of football with 75 years to run on the lease and will continue to be a core asset of the WAFC post-AFL football at the venue.

Meanwhile, Subiaco coun-cil has launched a separate project to capture the soul of Subiaco oval.

Red Dog man the underdogRed Dog film producer

Nelson Woss appealed to Subiaco councillors on Tuesday night to give his next business venture a sporting chance.

Mr Woss, whose hit 2011 movie was one of Australias biggest earning fi lms, wants to sell coffee to local work-ers and residents through a hatch in the side of his Duke Street building, just off Rokeby Road.

Customers would line up

in a 3m queue area next to the hatch.

I am a Subiaco resident, a fi lmmaker and businessman, I made the Red Dog fi lm, I live and work in the area and I wait for a long time in lines for coffee, Mr Woss told the de-velopment services committee meeting on Tuesday night.

I want [this application] to be considered on the basis I am trying to do something on a very small scale.

This is a boutique walk-up, take-away coffee shop. There are no chairs and tables, there is no blocking of the sidewalk.

He said he would have one employee making and selling coffee in a 3sq.m area contain-ing a fridge and sink.

Duke Street resident John Chappel told the meeting he had serious concerns about parking and traffi c.

Life in the Golden Triangle, as seen by the PGWWe still dont know the Peppy

Grove Wankers identity, but the POST can reveal he says is a mid-20s Grove-dweller who works in investment fi nance and wouldnt be caught dead on public transport.

If you are not on Instagram or Twitter, you might not have heard about the PGW.

On his anonymous social media accounts, the PGW describes himself as a Peppy Grove scion, living it up unabashed in Perths Golden Triangle. Drives a Range Rover (and) brunches too often.

His tongue-in-cheek posts are about life in the western suburbs.

His fi rst Instagram post, 12 weeks ago, said: Im all for de-velopment of the Scarborough beach foreshore. Anything to draw the perpetual swarm of non-locals from Cottesloe.

Since then he has accumulated more than 4000 followers.

A recent post said: Sculpture by the Sea is probably the cul-tural highlight of the Cott beach blow-ins year.

The PGW declined a face-to-face interview with the POST.

Not a single person knows the identity of the PGW and Id like to keep it that way anonymity

is what keeps people talking, so I cant risk that, he said.

But he agreed to a Q&A.What suburb do you live in?

Peppermint Grove, of course.How old are you?

Im in my mid-20s; old enough to know better, young enough not to be bothered.What do you do for work?

When Im not brunching, SUPing (stand-up paddle-boarding), shopping or Down South, Im working in investment fi nance. The family company, of course.Where did you go to school?

Christ Church Grammar School and the University of WA. I hold a bachelor of commerce.What inspired you to create the PGW online persona?

Perthites have this view of the Golden Triangle as an insular, stuffy and nepotistic playground for the states truly affluent, where the gates are big and the houses behind them even bigger. Theres a city-wide fascination of what goes on here.

So there I was, reading a newspaper late last year when I came across an article about the monstrous Taj on Swan. I thought: Why not give the people of Perth something to really talk about, an insiders look at life in the GT.

Why do you think so many people have connected with the PGW?

I think that people, Golden Triangle locals and not, connect with the PGW because of the way I capture everything they themselves have thought about the GT lifestyle in a sarcastic, ironic and cleverly offensive manner.Do you think Golden Triangle dwellers are offended by your posts?

I think that the locals see my observations for what they are tongue-in-cheek, self-deprecating and satirical. I am yet to receive any complaints.Where must a Triangle dweller never be seen?

In the Mosman Park ghetto, on public transport, Shenton College, Red Rooster in Peppermint Grove and Matisse Beach Club. Although Scarborough as a whole is pretty avoidable. Of course, no one wants to be seen spend-ing any serious amount of time outside of the GT.Where should they be seen?

Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, The Boatshed Market, shop-ping on Napoleon Street, and their obligatory Dunsborough, Eagle Bay or Yallingup beach house.Where are your favourite places for breakfast, coffee and shop-ping?

Brunch at Gill Street Caf & Deli (Mosman Park) or John St Caf (Cottesloe). Zafferano (Crawley) on Sundays. Coffee at Vans (Cottesloe), Gill Street, John Street, May Street Larder (warning: this is in East Fremantle, outside of

the Triangle) or Cimbalino Espresso (Cottesloe). Shopping at (Cottesloes) Napoleon Street boutiques and Claremont Quarter Parker & Co and David Jones.Does the PGW read the POST?

Of course!

Concerned Mosman Park resident Roz MacNish used a show-and-tell demonstra-tion to get her point across to councillors this week.

Mrs MacNish, who lives in Stone Street near the new Russell Brown Adventure Park, said her message about sand and mulch threatening trees in the park was not getting through.

Using sketches and cardboard cut-outs, she demonstrated how the tree roots were being covered, starving the surface feeder roots of water, nutrients and oxygen.

She told members of the corporate and technical services committee on Tuesday night nothing had been done since an arborists report three months ago.

She said the arborist recommended the mulch be cleared for 1m around the trunk of each tree.

The trees have no chance of survival, she said, asking what the council proposed to do.

CEO Kevin Poynton said he would prepare a report for the next council meeting on March 24.

Premier Colin Barnett is due to open the adventure park on March 28.

Show-and-tell lesson

Maths adds up to top honourWAs fi rst mathematician

to be inducted into the WA Womens Hall of Fame wants more young people to follow her lead.

Professor Cheryl Praeger, from the University of WA, was honoured last week for her ongoing contribution to the education of girls.

But she said she was con-cerned by recent fi gures that showed only 30% of Australian Year 12s chose to study ad-vanced or intermediate-level maths.

It is at this level that they gain the higher-level skills required for entry into ca-reers in science, engineering, and technology, Professor Praeger said.

As the vital role of tech-nology in modern society increases, the mathematical sciences are becoming indis-

pensable.Virtually every area of

our lives depends on them, from healthcare to tele-communications, from un-derstanding climate change to making secure financial transactions.

Australia needs to at least double the number of mathe-matics and statistics graduates it produces to properly equip itself for the future.

I still think that many young

people, especially girls, may respond positively to some-one expressing confidence in their abilities perhaps there are many small things like that which would have a big impact.

Professor Praeger was named WAs Scientist of the Year in 2009 and was the fi rst pure mathematician to be an Australian Research Council Federation fellow.

A member of the Order of Australia, Professor Praegers name appears with Albert Einsteins on the roll of hon-

orary members of the London Mathematical Society.

She now joins Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, Perth Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffi di and Professors Fiona Stanley and Fiona Wood in the hall of fame.

Other 2015 inductees includ-ed Claremont-born psycholo-gist Nancy Stewart, former UWA pro-chancellor Christine Ann Wheeler, inaugural dean of UWAs business school Tracey Horton and UWAs fi rst female student guild president, Sue Boyd.

Professor Cheryl Praeger wants more Australian school students to study mathematics.

Japanese sculptures held in quarantine

Six artworks that should be on show at Sculpture by the Sea are marooned in quarantine.

Event organiser David Handley said the sculptures, by Japanese artists, had been delayed in Singapore and were quarantined in Fremantle after they arrived on Wednesday.

They were flagged for quarantine because the artists send photos with their works and one of the photos showed one of the sculptures on the ground, so Customs are checking it for grass, Mr Handley said.

Mr Handley said there was a small chance the six works would be at Cottesloe by Friday, but Monday or Tuesday was more likely.

The artists are very sanguine about it perhaps it is Japanese stoicism, he said.

People understand the vagaries of shipping and have a lot of sympathy for the artists.

The quarantined works destined for the beach are by Tetsuro Yamasaki, Akiho Tata, Zero Higashida, Keizo Ushio, Takahiro Hirata and Haruyuki Uchida.

Some other works by Japanese artists for the smaller Sculpture

Inside exhibition, at the surf club, were also quarantined.

Mr Handley said planning meant the sculptures should have been in Cottesloe with time to spare.

The ship scheduled to pick them up at Singapore decided there was too much weight on board, so they werent loaded, he said.

They were booked for a second ship but then the captain decided he wasnt going to Fremantle.

Three artworks that have been on show in previous years have been put where the quarantined works were due to sit.

Mr Handley said sculpture sales were going well, with some

snapped up before last Fridays offi cial opening.

He said a number of Wendi Zhangs fl amingos called mi no 5 had been sold to local and interstate buyers.

Catalogue sales are up $6500 compared to this time last year, Mr Handley said.

Cottesloe council CEO Carl Askew said the bus company running the Cott Cat said 500 people used it each day last weekend.

There were 251 infringement notices issued across the weekend with the vast majority for parking contrary to no parking or no stopping signs and very few overstays, Mr Askew said.

Sibling saga of killing, insanity and inheritance dispute

Three brothers locked in a row over their mothers will had fallen out when one killed their father, the Supreme Court heard.

Paul Ellis stood trial over his fathers death 13 years ago in New Zealand and was found not guilty on the grounds of insanity.

A paranoid schizophrenic, he had thought he was Superman and that his par-

ents were putting bugs in his food. He was ordered to live in an institution and was later released.

A New Zealand newspaper reported in 2002 that he had beaten his father to death with a metal baseball bat while his father was on the phone calling emergency services for help.

Since then, his mother, Victoria Ellis, moved to Mt Claremont to be near another son, Clive, who lives in Grant Street, Cottesloe.

The Supreme Court was told Mrs Ellis had appointed Clive and her third son, Spencer, as executors of her will.

Spencer lives in the UK.The court heard Clive, who

runs a house renovation busi-ness, helped his mother buy a house in Strickland Street.

After she died it was sold for $1.2million and Clive re-couped loans he paid and the cost of a new kitchen, before sharing the proceeds equally

Felicity freewheels the freewayFelicity Harrison is one of

more than 1000 cyclists who have signed up for the full 75km ride in next Sundays Telethon Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma.

Felicity (24), an environmen-tal engineer from Claremont, signed on this week to com-plete the longest distance of the event, despite not having cycled that far before.

I have competed in triath-lons before, as well as in the Rotto swim as a duo and team of four, however I have not rid-den more than 40km at once, Felicity said.

I have managed to convince several work colleagues to join me in the ride, and I am confi dent I can make it, while fundraising for a worthy cause.

Organisers want more cy-clists novices or experts to attempt the furthest distance in Perths largest community cycling event.

They say it is achievable for most cyclists due to the free-ways relatively fl at route and lack of traffi c the freeway will be closed for the event.

Inexperienced cyclists can also tackle 35km and 15km stretches and there is a 3km trike-hike version.

Now in its 11th year, the ride is the major fundraiser for Asthma Foundation WA and has raised $2.7million so far.

The ride on Sunday, March 22, is expected to attract more than 7000 riders.

To donate to Felicitys ef-forts, go to https://telethonfree-waybikehike.everydayhero.com/au/felicity.

For online registration to take part, see www.freeway-bikehike.com.au.

Therell be trouble at mill, DAP is warnedPublicity would be needed to

stop people blockading Stirling Highway when the Dingo Flour sign was removed, plan-ners were told this week.

Once that dingo is taken down there is going to be a complete public outcry, Fremantle councillor Jon Strachan told the Metro South-West Joint

Development Assessment Panel (DAP) meeting on Tuesday.

You are going to have to have some form of media plan to alert people to stop them blockading the site.

The dingo is very important to West Australians.

You will need to let people know it is refurbishment, not removal.

Allied Mills wants to install new equipment and make im-provements to the fl our mill.

This includes demolishing silos and conveyors and replac-ing the Dingo sign.

The metal on which the Dingo sign is painted has corroded and needs to be replaced.

DAP members unanimously

approved the project.It is fantastic to see the con-

tinuation of the mill on what must be enormously valuable land, DAP acting presiding offi cer Ian Burch said.

It is terrifi c it is not only maintaining the building but also the original usage com-mensurate with its heritage value.

The Dingo Flour sign will be de-molished and replaced.

Clearway would hurt traders

Making Glyde Street a two-hour clearway during the after-noon school rush hour would jeopardise small businesses there, Mosman Park council-lors were told this week.

The corporate and technical services committee was consid-ering the parking restrictions when the $145,000 upgrade to create two right-turn lanes into Stirling Highway is com-pleted.

Fourteen businesses in the street have expressed their concerns about an afternoon clearway from 3 to 5pm.

We really dont want it at all, Nicola Pedersen, from Fun Form and Function on the southern side of Glyde Street said.

We do a lot of business be-tween 3 and 5pm. People like these small strip shops in the Mossie Park area because they can park very close to them.

She said parking on the other side of the road and crossing over three lanes of traffi c would be a nightmare for parents with children.

Ms Pedersen said school traf-fi c congestion was a 20-minute problem at most.

She said a clearway would make a tough retail situation even tougher.

I think Perth people have got to learn to deal with traffi c stress, she said.

Rebecca John, from gift shop With Love By Bec, agreed with the staff recommendation to consider the clearway issue after the intersection was

upgraded.Ms John said the lights took

only 1 minutes to change and the congestion usually cleared after each change.

She said the longest she had waited while picking her chil-dren up from school was two light changes about three minutes.

She said the clearway issue was a question of spending a bit of time waiting at the lights

MLC raffle probed

The $25,000 tuition fee raf-fl e run by Methodist Ladies College is under investiga-tion.

The state governments Racing, Gaming and Liquor Department received a complaint about how the raffl e was drawn.

The terms and conditions ap-proved by the department said the fi rst name out of the hat would win the prize.

But at the raffl e last month, the third name drawn won the prize of a years tuition, which is worth $25,000 for a Year 12 student.

A statement from the MLC Foundation said it knew there was an investigation.

The three raffle winners were contacted to inform them of the situation and a satisfac-tory resolution has now been reached with all of them, a spokeswoman said.

Pickard attacks confrontational

state governmentTroy Pickard has made a sting-

ing attack on the state govern-ment for its confrontational approach to local councils.

Mr Pickard, the WA Local Government Association president, said the governments dismissive approach to councils, shown in its attempt to force mergers, needed to change after the failed process.

It should be obvious that criticism and conflict to gain community support for reform have not worked, Mr Pickard said in a paid WALGA advertisement.

The failure of the six-year process was irrefutable evidence that a change in the governments approach was needed, he said.

The government could continue to try to force its will on ratepayers or consult to find common ground.

Instead, it continued to try to undermine councils.

He targeted statements by Premier Colin Barnett on rate rises and corruption, saying the governments perceived confrontational approach has remained constant.

H e p r e d i c t e d t h a t t h i s unpleasant approach might continue to diminish council powers and cut funding, which might even dupe some in the community to demand change.

Mr Pickard said that in the middle of the merger process the state government had sought to criticise councils on rate rises while increases in its own utility charges were far in excess.

He also criticised Mr Barnetts statement that claimed councils

were the main source of corruption in the three tiers of government.

Its own departments had almost 20 times the allegations before the Corruption and Crime Commission, he said.

Mr Pickard said that contrary to government claims, local councils had been at the forefront of reform, but these changes had gone unheralded.

H e s a i d W A L G A h a d commissioned its own study in 2004 and most of its 39 recommendations had been implemented.

MosArts launchesbright new year

MosArts will launch this years program next Wednesday night with the WA premiere of Tim Burtons new fi lm, Big Eyes.

MosArts artistic director Renato Fabretti said that with Mosman Park council support and a revitalised board, the company looked forward to a bright future.

Over the past six months, MosArts has re-cemented the companys foundations and our new management has engaged new resident companies and new artists and is set to launch a new program for 2015, he said.

Pull up a spider in Minim CoveGiant bugs could soon inhabit

a park in the last piece of Minim Cove to be developed.

LandCorp has suggested installing big wooden sculptures of spiders and insects that can also be used as benches, seats and tables.

They would range from 1.5m in diameter to 2m tall.

LandCorp would supply the art-work as part of its landscaping obliga-tions. The wood would be untreated

and permitted to age naturally.I love the idea of this. I think

this is absolutely fabulous because David [Knowles from Spineless Wonders] did a lot of work in saving all the birds and animals from the area, South ward councillor Jenna Ledgerwood told Tuesday night's corporate and technical services committee meeting.

Mosman Park council will vote on the recommendation on March 24.

Dog fence decision

Whether to create a fenced dog park on the foreshore at Nedlands will fi nally be settled by Nedlands councillors at the end of the month.

The idea for the Paul Hasluck Reserve fi rst came up in 2012.

Funds were set aside in the budget for this year but in February some councillors argued it would be a waste of money and was not needed.

Dont let ham-fisted Barnett ruin HollywoodWe support Tony Noakes

(Subiaco serves us much bet-ter than Perth would, POST, March7) who recommended that the residential area bounded by Stirling Highway, Winthrop Avenue, Monash Avenue and Hampden Road remains as part of the Subiaco district, which it has been for more than 100 years.

We in this area have had very good support from the Subiaco council over many years and we would like that to continue.

This is a residential area and for it to be incorporated into the Perth City Council (PCC) area would be ridiculous.

The area is physically remote from the Perth CBD and we residents would expect little consideration from the PCC in relation to the provision of community services.

We know that the PCC wants to swallow and control the University of WA, the QEII Medical Centre and Hollywood Private Hospital, all of which are also isolated from the CBD and have developed and functioned very well in the absence of stew-ardship from the PCC.

We do not agree with the PCC

proposal.There is a strong sense of

community in this area and we do not want it to be destroyed by further ham-fi sted action by Premier Colin Barnett.

Please leave well enough alone.

I was surprised to read of the criticism of Mosman Parks latest calendar (Its the year of feeling sheepish, POST, February 28).

I have had friends from out of the area comment upon the interesting and varied calendars we receive each year.

The suggestion to make the numerals clearer may be valid,

but where is the praise for our locally inspired and varied calendars?

For those who wish, there are plenty of commercial calendars available free of charge every-where.

Weve had no say on futureduplexes or triplexes

And so Cambridge mayor Simon Withers and a section of the council continue on their crusade to convert the town into a high-density living environ-ment against the wishes of the community of City Beach and Floreat; such conversion to be by the sword if necessary, it seems to me.

At the council meeting on February 24, the council passed a motion to initiate the amend-ment to planning scheme No. 1,

to allow multiple dwellings on corner blocks and blocks over 900sq.m.

What does this mean? It means duplexes on blocks

of 900sq.m or greater, triplexes on blocks greater than 1100sq.m, and, of course, our favourite, maisonettes (fl ats, or the re-named manor houses) on blocks greater than 900sq.m.

The results of a housing option survey conducted in February and March last year by the council to get extensive community feedback showed that the majority of ratepayers did not want or need maison-ettes.

Did we have a say on duplexes and triplexes? No.

And the reason is they were not in the survey. But the coun-cil has now included them in this current proposed amend-ment to the town planning scheme, without consultation how transparent and honest is that?

This high-density housing proposal is urban terrorism on a grand scale in my opinion, conducted with the enthusiasm of religious zealotry.

It is defi ned by a misguided and misplaced belief that the ratepayers of City Beach and Floreat need high-density housing.

Mr Withers says he is happy with what is being proposed what a surprise.

Where he lives is unaf-fected.

Is this a case of Im OK, Jack, or is it Im OK, Simon?

Denis WillsChandler Avenue East, Floreat

Let Wembleybe a warning

Cambridge council has ad-vertised a consultation, Future Housing Choices, for residents of City Beach and Floreat (POST, March 7).

Given what has happened in Wembley, where there was no such consultation, be wary.

Two-storey and/or multiple dwellings on blocks which pre-viously supported single-storey family homes have become the norm.

Built to the periphery of the site, these new dwellings often block breezeways, overshadow, and do not allow room for even a nano-bit of vegetation.

They contribute to warming the suburb, to say nothing of the bulk and overlooking, which destroy privacy and the amenity of established back gardens in particular.

Hopefully, forewarned is forearmed!

Rope Works Park, in Mosman Park, was the base of a thriv-ing little community until Christmas.

Every evening and morning I would see dog owners and

their dogs, children and friends using the park, until the sign (pictured) appeared.

Im sure it says that owners should collect their pooches poops, but instead it seems to

have scared everyone off.Please come back, nobody

else uses the park.John Kirkby

Council commendsTo n nance staff

RE EW of Cottesloes ten-year nancial plan has led Mayor and Council to thank and congratulate Town staff. The plan indicates a surplus within three years, pre-dicting a likely rate increase across the ten years of just 3.5% per annum (being the midpoint of the reserve banks in ation target, plus 1% .

n the rst ve years of the plan debt is likely to be eliminated, resulting in much lower interest costs.Depot sale

The positive trend for Cottesloe was boosted by sale of the old Town depot which was completed on

Tuesday, March 3 which allows the Council to make progress on several strate-gic projects. Improvements to the Town centre and foreshore are anticipated.

The reviewed plan shows the major loan for the Grove Library paid out in

year one, so reducing Cot-tesloes loan repayments by $446,000 a year. After year six, a loan for Civic Centre refurbishment will nish, and add a further $207,000 to the Towns annual bud-get. All of these savings ease pressure on rates.

An ac -pastTHIS years Anzac Day service, on Saturday, April 25, will be marked with a triple y-past. Numbers attending the annual service have grown continu-ally, and in this centenary year the Cottesloe RSL organisers anticipate even greater attendance.

They plan to use the Civic Centre main lawn, where seating will be ar-ranged. Everyone is wel-come, including children.

Please assemble at the southern gate, oppo-site Loma Street, from 6.45am.

As well as the y-past

by three aircraft, the ser-vice will include ag-raising, wreath-laying, prayers, brief speeches and the Last Post.

People are encouraged to lay wreaths, owers or a rosemary sprig. Light refreshments will follow the service.

THE rst new Marine Parade development under Cottesloes Local Planning Scheme 3, a ve-storey building on the lue Waters Caf site at the corner of Warn-ham Road/Marine Parade, has been passed by the Council.

It comprises ground-oor commercial space for

a shop or restaurant, six apartments on upper oors and parking for 10 cars in the basement.

The Towns planning committee queried the total parking requirements for

the site. Cottesloe Council ruled that the developer shall pay cash in lieu of one extra car parking bay, in addition to meeting a wide range of planning stan-dards.

Town staff will also now examine Cottesloes Park-

ing Matters Policy, to ensure it is suf ciently comprehensive and exible to embrace (LPS3) provi-sions and respond to plan-ning considerations and development proposals over time.

Cottesloe CEO heads tothe imberleCARL Askew, CEO of Cottesloe for the past six

years is leaving the Town for the Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley, where he will be chief executive of cer of a council area encompassing 120,000 sq km, with 120 staff and an annual operating budget of $20m.

Paying tribute to Carl on

behalf of Town and Coun-cil, Mayor Jo Dawkins thanked Mr Askew for his signi cant contribution to Cottesloe, wishing him well in his future role.

He has most ably as-sisted us bring about many positive and important

changes such as Local Planning Scheme 3, sale of the old depot site, and our Strategic Community Plan.

Of course, over the past 5 years he has been deeply involved in managing the State Governments local government reform agenda as it applies to Cottesloe.Residentssatisfaction

During Carls time at Cottesloe some long-standing, contentious is-sues have been put to rest, bringing greater stability. This was re ected in our most recent Community Perspectives survey, show-ing most residents to be sat-is ed with the Town, with performance ahead of the industry average. Eight out of 10 residents are delight-ed with living in Cottesloe. inancial planninThe CEO has overseen

development of long-term works programmes and

forward nancial plan-ning so that the Town is in a strong nancial position well placed to build on this and further improve service levels, said the Mayor.

Carl takes up his Kim-berley post in May, and Cottesloe has begun the recruitment process to ap-point a successor.

Naming snags

A WORKING group of relevant local people will consider and advise the Council on suitable potential names for oth-erwise un-named loca-tions, such as laneways.

Formation of the group, chaired by Cr Burke, fol-lows recent discussions to

nd names that meet the requirements of WAs Geo-graphic Names Committee, which has the nal say.

The new name submit-ted for RoW 55 is Foulkes Lane, after Charles Grif ths Foulkes, Cottesloes rst homeowner. He developed our original electoral role and was elected to the in-augural Cottesloe Road Board. Council has also submitted to the Commit-tee Macarthur St, for an access road behind part of Curtin Avenue.

Tradies parking sparks petition

Tradies who choke their street have driven residents in Nedlands to ask for a total parking ban.

And a multi-storey carpark was too expensive for motorists, they said.

Every household in Campsie Street, near the QEII Medical Centre and Hollywood Hospital, had signed a petition, Ross Simpson told Nedlands council.

While there have been parking problems for years, the situation seems to have become worse since

the building of the multi-storey car-park with signifi cantly increased fees, Mr Simpson said.

People from the Harry Perkins centre arrive at 3am every day, turn around in our drives and slam doors, waking us up.

Mr Simpson said residents real-ised a parking ban would push the problem into neighbouring streets, but they would be happy if others wanted a similar ban.

The council agreed staff should look into the request.

Students on a rollThere is no clowning around about

exercise at Loreto Primary School in Nedlands, but it is fun, thanks to teacher Andrew Boxsell.

More than half the 200 students were planning to take part in the annual ride to school event on Friday.

The numbers have stead-ily increased, Mr Boxsell, who donned fancy dress for the occa-

sion, said.Students were able to ride on

bikes, scooters or skateboards.Mr Boxsell was also conducting a

walking bus from Melvista Oval to the school in Webster Street.

Anyone who took part had their name put in the draw for $50 worth of stationery from Offi ceworks.

The school laid on a breakfast of fruit, pikelets and Milo at the end of the journey.
