TO THE RESCUETO THE RESCUEFULL STORY INSIDEFULL STORY INSIDE

2 7 April 2016

Your letters and emailsIs it me?As a newcomer to the area, I have been shocked by the number of recent fatal car accidents along Two Rocks Road.

Whichever way you look at it, whosoever is to blame, that road is obviously dangerous, for all.

As I drove along that fated stretch the other day I saw something as equally disturbing as the gruesome crash marks left gouged into the carriageway.

One of the main factors in all the previous accidents was the blind crests between Two Rocks and Yanchep Beach Road.

Yet approximately 800 yards south of Montebello Boulevard a new traffi c junction is being constructed near the summit of one of those blind crests. The junction is obviously to feed a future housing development.

Likewise, I fear for the populous of the new developments like Amberton and Shorehaven,

where vehicles have to exit from a standstill onto Marmion Avenue into 80kph traffi c.

I have already seen accidents at these existing locations.

Even if the current speed limits are to be reduced, even if traffi c calming measures are to be put into place, there will be ever increasing numbers of vehicles, not to mention, cyclists, adults, children and mothers pushing prams using these junctions.

Can someone please tell the individuals in authority who are responsible to ‘Go fi gure’!

New type of golferPerhaps a new type of golfer has arrived at the beautiful St Andrews Golf Club, possibly the only course in the world where kangaroos graze in their natural environment and with a peacefully natural sense of belonging.

A type who cannot tolerate the thought that anything else but they are enjoying the

beauties of the space. Perhaps so self-infl ated and so self-congratulatory that they cannot conceive of any other life form needing or enjoying beautiful spacious green lawns. Perhaps the new breed is the ‘Greed breed’, so blinded by the fi gures in their bank accounts that they have no thought or concern for life and beauty.

The public feel insulted at the level of intelligence they are measured at, when all of a sudden a bright, fl ashing warning against kangaroos is brought to the side of the road, where local people have been driving for decades.

How ludicrous that they think their actions are not totally transparent and predictable: the sign will incriminate the precious kangaroos, pose them as a great threat, convince people that their lives are in danger and rob those without voice of their rightful home.

What about planning?

How totally impressive it would be, if visionary planning would

combine human occupation with tourism, the things tourists actually enjoy and fi nd special; with decency towards all the precious treasures of nature, and with sustainable settlement, where travel routes which provide access for animals and birds who belong here are included in a marvelously and uniquely designed landscape architecture prototype.

The ‘vandalism’ which has suddenly become the problem, and which has necessitated the need for impressive 2.1m fences - What a joke.

Where else in Yanchep and Two Rocks has vandalism been prevented in any way?

The dreadful on-going vandalistic behaviour is simply smoothed over the next day by a patient and tolerant authority.

Those fences were built for kangaroos, it is unbelievable, again, how unintelligent the public are considered to be.

I know school curricula are not exactly targeting advanced academic and mental

development, no doubt the world fi nancial structures are relying on a mindless public, but the old-school generation are not so easily hoodwinked; the developers’ tricks are particularly obvious and heartily sickening.

The kangaroos are the main attracting feature of this beautiful golf course. Without them, the golf course is just another attractive stretch of grass with greens and holes like any other in the world. Has no-one in the entire planning process actually fi gured that out?

I certainly hope the idea strikes home in the near future.

Birds, plants, mammals, insects, reptiles, these bring joy to all. These are messengers of life and joy, reality, sincerity, perseverance and innocence. We need to protect and cherish the beautiful natural environment at all cost, those who destroy should be stopped.

Houses affected by street closureFor over 12 months a number of residents in Moorpark Avenue, Yanchep, have been trying to resolve proposed road reserve closures that are threatening access to their homes, garages and sheds.

When the St Andrews Estate was created, there were ten road reserves created to link into future residential developments.

For over 25 years, council plans and various street directories have shown all these streets including their street names.

Houses aff ected are located on Moorpark Avenue and one of the follow streets: Cheltenham St, Amstel Crt, Wynnum Pl, Castlecove Way, Bexley Rd, Strathallan Ave, Melton Crt, Rosanna Crt, and Chidley Crt

When Vertex started developing this land, several of these road reserves somehow were rezoned to residential blocks.

At a meeting of the aff ected residents, they told the Sun City News, they had not been notifi ed at any stage their

homes would be aff ected by the rezoning and it has been very stressful and worrying dealing with the City of Wanneroo about this issue.

In mid February 2016, a City of Wanneroo planning offi cer notifi ed some of the aff ected residents, ‘that the City had entered negotiations with the developer’.

At last Tuesday’s City of Wanneroo council meeting, a number of the directly aff ected residents presented letters to the City’s CEO, Daniel Simms, asking him to personally get

involved in resolving this urgent problem.

The Sun City News understands several of the City of Wanneroo plans show all streets on the district plans until the Vertex project began.

Late last month, the City of Wanneroo was contacted for comment, at the time of going to press a response had not been received.

The aff ected residents are considering taking legal action to protect their properties.

Your letters

Dose of dorin

Are we surprised? For at least twenty years our developer driven councils have increased our rates by at least double the rate of infl ation year after year.

Regional and local development plans are, in many cases, encased in vast obtuse consultant written documents which sometimes can only be viewed at the council’s offi ce.

The insensitive treatment of the Yanchep Lagoon wall and road levels obscuring much of the previously tourist attractive view of the Lagoon is nothing compared to what may be being planned for the Two Rocks Marina and surrounds.

Is the Mark Le Buse Waugal a thorn in the side of maybe First Nation claim shy developers?

At any rate, as a relative newcomer, I say the Waugal

and other monument works from the Marine Park era, are worthwhile historical works that should be restored by the City of Wanneroo and treated as the valuable historical artifacts they are.

With regard to the marina and limestone walls themselves I shudder.

Look at what we have now in terms of views and ambience, then look at the much built up and over developed Mindarie Keys.

If one wishes to look further, take a drive to South Beach, South Fremantle and try and see the ocean, sky, clouds or sunset from behind the massive fi ve story high units very close to and parallel to the waters edge.

Then if you wish, drive a little further south to the so called Port Coogee mini-marina.

Guess what?

More fi ve storey units on the coast.

Oh, for a truly consultative and sensitive redevelopment.

Optimistic thinking?

This one thinks so.

Editor’s comment: Our so-called community-minded developers simply know how to use the planning system, manipulate over-worked council staff and massage the egos of elected members to achieve their desired outcomes.

The entire planning process is tainted and needs urgent dramatic review, but once again, no one is willing to fully address the issues.

Better consultations, longer time to consider developers’ plans and total disclosure of plans and interests are needed to begin with.

More lettersHats offHats off editor for this week’s message. I for one would be very interested in hearing from every one of the candidates in writing that could be kept and referred to at a later date.

I would have to say there is one pollie I do hear about often who is very interested in the northern suburbs; and that’s John Quigley.

I feel there is more and more notice being taken because of so many broken promises.

P Simmons, Yanchep.

Sold outI am writing to thank you on behalf of the Church Council at St James for the adverts in the Sun City News.

We received many responses because of them, with people saying where they had seen it.

With your help in advertising, we had sold all of the bags of sheep manure by 8.30am on the Saturday morning.

This for us was a record and made life very easy, with not having to store or further advertising needed.

Again, many thanks.

John Taylor, on behalf of the Council of St James Anglican Church.

Can you help?This may be a strange request, however I am hoping a Sun City News reader is able to help me identify a person that was involved in an accident on Saturday 19 March in Merriwa.

I was driving west along Lukin Drive at about 7.30pm, when a dark blue Mazda 6, with SA number plates, drove into the side of my car, coming out of Baltimore Parade.

The force of the impact, wrecked my car and left me on the wrong side of the road, facing oncoming traffi c. The person driving the Mazda drove off and left me there.

Until the other party is found, my insurance company will not return my excess. Being only 17 and this being my fi rst car; I am now out of pocket by about $2700.

The police and the insurance company are saying that the investigation, etc could take between four to six months. Until then I am without a vehicle, and being a delivery driver, I am going to be under a fair amount of pressure to keep my job.

Councillor’s Corner

Can you tell us a bit about your background?Up until our sea change to Lancelin I had a career in local government which spanned 34 years. Over that time I was actively involved in various communities where we lived and worked, volunteering our time and holding executive positions of sporting and district clubs. Sport has been a big part of my life, having been involved in playing, coaching and administering sports such as football, cricket, basketball and bowls in a volunteer capacity for many years.In addition to my business and council responsibilities, I am

What Shire issues are you passionate about?The Shire of Gingin is now and will continue to be a diverse shire, given our coastal and country disposition. We have fantastic opportunities to assist our region to grow and develop, particularly in the tourism sphere, as well as providing the necessary infrastructure to attract more people into the region who will enhance our economic base further. I am passionate about our volunteer groups – they are a highly valued and vital part of our social fabric and I am committed to supporting them, particularly with the challenges that come with volunteering these days.

I also have an interest in our region’s health needs, looking after our aged and senior members so family structures can be preserved, and developing our youth so our communities continue to grow and stay vibrant.

What do you appreciate the most about the Shire of Gingin? I genuinely appreciate our region’s diversity and I believe it presents great economic and development opportunities

How do you envision the Shire of Gingin to look in 10-20 years? I believe the Shire will continually grow into a major “food bowl” source for our State. I envision a growing and diverse population together with a diverse economy – with tourism

youth being retained in our region. While we do not know the challenges yet ahead of us for the next 10-20 years, we can position ourselves to make the most of our strategic location, our natural and man-made resources and strong, dynamic communities.

Councillor s CoInterview with

Cr Frank PeczkaCongratulations Frank on your election to Council last October. How long have you lived in the Shire of Gingin?I’ve lived in the Shire of Gingin two and a half years, my wife and I own a small business in Lancelin and are loving the lifestyle change.

Recognition for helicopter rescue work

Last month, Two Rocks resident and paramedic, Chris Oakes, was recognised for ten years of service as a critical care paramedic on the RAC Rescue 65 Helicopter.

St John Ambulance manager of metropolitan

ambulance operations, James Sherriff , presented Chris with a plaque to recognise this achievement and dedication Chris has applied to this very important role.

Chris has been a full time paramedic for St John

Ambulance Western Australia for the past 22 years working in metropolitan operations, the country ambulance service as well as the training department.

To work as an intensive care paramedic, Chris has undertaken extra practical training and an intensive education program that is required to carry out this very important and demanding role within the service.

The Rescue 65 helicopter undertakes many and varied missions including off -road motor vehicle accidents, retrieval of patients from areas inaccessible by motor vehicle such as forests, cliff s, ships, boats, and water where winching

may be required. Patients from remote and country locations that require a high level of clinical pre hospital care and expedient transport to a hospital.

Chris says that he is part of a great team that all work together, made up of himself, the pilot and air crewman to get the job done.

He said it is still challenging after 10 years with every job and scenario diff ering from the last.

Recently DFES introduced a second identical aircraft to Rescue 65 operating from Bunbury and with both helicopters they can now provide coverage to 95 per cent of the state’s population when called on.

New medical centre openA new medical centre has opened next to the Two Rocks Pharmacy at 8 Enterprise Avenue, Two Rocks.

They are off ering comprehensive family medical care including skin cancer checks, women’s health, chronic disease management, immunisations, children’s health and aged care.

The medical centre is open Monday to Friday from 8.00am to 5.00pm, appointment can be made by calling 6401 7422.

Early season AFL and WAFL reviewwith Denis Heaney. With the Amateur Football League competition commencing this weekend and Under Age competitions not starting until after the school holidays, now is a good time to have a look at what has been happening in the senior competitions.

In the AFL, Fremantle have started with two losses and West Coast have a win and a loss. This makes the Western Derby next Saturday between the two local sides probably the most vital of their clashes since Fremantle entered the AFL.

A defeat to Fremantle would see them winless after three games and although records are made to be broken, no club in the history of the AFL, since its inception in 1990 has won a fl ag after losing the fi rst three games of the season.

Essendon in 1993 had only a draw and two losses and Brisbane in 2001 had only one win in their fi rst three games and went on to the ultimate success.

These facts off er a glimmer of hope in the event of a Fremantle loss, but the road will not be easy.

Should West Coast lose then both clubs will face a diffi cult task to recover with only one instance of a team recovering from one win from fi rst three games to win the premiership.

All of this means that those people who attend the game or are glued to their television sets on Saturday evening should be treated to a strongly contested game from the opening bounce.

In the WAFL competition, round three has just been completed with West Perth, our local side managing just one win in their opening three games.

They have had a reasonably diffi cult start to the season having played the two unbeaten clubs at this stage.

The club is to be commended for its initiative in sponsoring its annual International Football Festival at Joondalup, last Saturday, when about 90

Joondalup residents became Australian citizens in a ceremony prior to the main game. A benefi cial off shoot to the club was that in excess of 6000 people attended the match as opposed to a normal attendance of about 1500 on a good day.

If only 10 per cent of the extra attendance become regular followers of our great game then that is a bonus and perhaps other clubs could look at activities at their home games to increase fl agging attendances.

The ladder at present has South Fremantle and Subiaco unbeaten at this stage with three wins each and Swan Districts and surprisingly East Perth, the West Coast Eagles associated club, both winless, with both having diffi cult games this weekend.

Jumper presentationThe Yanchep Red Hawks Football Club held its season opening Jumper presentations over the weekend. Club president, Phil Smeeton, wished the players all the very best for the season ahead, he

also welcomed new players. Senior coach, Michael Sutherland, announced each player as they received their jumper.

His message to the players was simple: practice like you’ve never won and play like you’ve never lost.

The Yanchep Red Hawks mascot was also publicly unveiled.

The Yanchep Red Hawks fi rst game will be played on the Saturday 9 April at Coolbellup.

Updates on media enquiriesNew Yanchep ovalsThe City of Wanneroo told the Sun City News: “The current schedule for commencement of the City’s works for the Yanchep Active Open Space is expected to be in July 2016, however this is subject to the completion and fi nalisation of some further required works by the developer, Yanchep Beach Joint Venture.

“Once construction of the City’s works for the Yanchep Active Open Space commences, it will continue until completion.”

Kangaroo updateThe Sun City News submitted 11 questions about community concerns for the kangaroo problem in the St Andrews Estate, at Yanchep.

About two weeks ago, the City of Wanneroo’s response was: “The City will continue to be guided by and assist the lead

authorities if and when requested to in relation to wildlife and is also encouraging DPAW and the golf course operator to discuss kangaroo management.”

Last Friday, the City of Wanneroo put a media release out stating: “City of Wanneroo staff are working in collaboration with volunteers from the Northern Valley Wildlife Support Group to move displaced kangaroos in Yanchep.

“The City of Wanneroo has also initiated regular contact with DPaW and Sun City Country Club management to encourage an eff ective and permanent solution.”

Mobile towerThe Shire of Gingin told the Sun City News that fi ve locations were identifi ed in the initial search area for the proposed new mobile telecommunication tower in Lancelin.

The fi nal selected site, Lot 503, Collins Way, Lancelin, was the best option and is approximately 500 metres from Lancelin Primary School and Lancelin Playgroup.

“These telecommunication facilities are required to operate in compliance with strict science-based limits, providing appropriate protection for all members of the community, including children and the elderly.

“In this regard, national and international scientifi c opinions suggest that there is no substantiated evidence of health eff ects from living or working near mobile phone base stations.”

Sun City News understands a report on this tele-communication tower will be an agenda item at the next Shire of Gingin council meeting, which will be held in Lancelin on Tuesday 19 April.

Community Groups & Club listingsOver the past month, the Sun City News offi ce has received a considerable number of phone calls and emails stating the ‘Community Groups & Clubs’ listings were not up-to-date.

Rather than publish incorrect contact details of various organisations, the list has been dropped until all clubs and groups provide up-to-date details.

We apologise for this inconvenience to those clubs and groups who have provided correct information.

Equally, we apologise to the people receiving calls about groups they may no longer be involved with.

The sooner all groups supply their correct current details, the

list will be published again.

At this stage it is hoped the new listing will be available early May 2016.

To submit your club or groups details, send an email to community@suncitynews.com.au

SOLUTION

What is your club doing?During the fi rst three months of this year, a number of local clubs and groups have been featured with ‘write ups and photos’ in the Sun City News with sensational results.

With new residents moving into the district every week, these families are not familiar of what local clubs and existing groups can off er.

As the Sun City News is home delivered to more new homes every second Thursday, the region’s residents are being

kept informed of all local activities, clubs and local news.

If your club or group has any news or would like a feature write-up, please call for details.

Over the past 12 months, the local population has grown by more than 10 per cent or 1000 new residents, many are looking at what local activities and sports are ‘out there’ - Here is your opportunity to get a free write up with photo and make the wider community aware of your group’s activities.

Call Terry on 9561 2500 or 0414 425 858 to organise your feature write up.

Feature write up for local not-for-profi t groups off ering free community activities and events are free of any charges, but be early to avoid disappointment - Only one club is featured each week.

Business advertorials that will highlight your business are available at very aff ordable prices.
