    Happy New Year from the POST!

    Troy OHern, Cottesloe Golf Club chief executive, in front of the unused land the club wants to buy for apartment development.

    Golfers chip away for public land

    A syndicate of golfers including Premier Colin Barnetts cousin is fi nanc-ing investigations into a plan to buy government land and build apartments on it.

    The land is on the edge of Cottesloe Golf Club.

    The club has a lease over its land, which is owned by the gov-ernment and vested in Nedlands council for public recreation.

    The Valuer-General put a $12million price tag on the 6000sq.m strip of land along Alfred Road, Mt Claremont.

    Former club president John Buzz Parkinson, Mr Barnetts cousin, is one of the eight mem-bers who want to kick-start the development.

    I would not want anyone to think [being the premiers cousin] would be any advantage for the club, Mr Parkinson, who played football for Claremont, said.

    I have never asked Colin for anything and never would.

    Any decision would not be his, it would be for his Cabinet.

    Mr Parkinson said each of the eight members had put in about $15,000 to pay for preliminary studies.

    He said if the project did not go ahead, they would lose their money.

    If it went ahead, they would get their money back but there was no profi t in it for them.

    Golf club chief executive Troy OHern said Mr Barnett had visited the club and been told about the proposal because it was in his electorate.

    Mr OHern said the club was a not-for-profi t organisation and proceeds from the apartment development would be used to pay for major capital work at the club.

    He estimated up to $17mil-lion was needed to replace irrigation, for the course and the clubhouse.

    Mr OHern said the club had

    outlined its ideas to Nedlands council late last month.

    I would like to think we will have a formal proposal by February, he said.

    There would be a special general meeting of members.

    The plan is to build a four-storey block of 48 apartments for over-55s and basement parking.

    Mr Parkinson said research around the world showed it was better for people to age in place with their friends around them.

    There would be no risk for members of the club, he said.

    A brochure prepared by the club explains the fi nancing.

    The brochure says: Until land acquisitions and development approvals are obtained, an ex-ternal entity will be underwrit-ing all costs.

    Should the development proceed, then the underwrit-ing entity will be the exclusive selling agent.

    Subi appeals for help to fight BillWatch out, your council

    could be the next one the state government tramples on.

    That is Subiaco mayor Heather Hendersons warning to every WA council and shire.

    Mrs Henderson wrote to them all as part of Subiaco councils fi ght not to lose its South ward and 3000 residents to Perth council, as proposed in the City of Perth Bill.

    She said Subiaco had no con-cerns with Perth being WAs leading local government, or with greater transparency for

    the sector, both of which are touched on in the Bill.

    Subiaco does have a concern over the arbitrary decision to change the boundaries of the South ward and for the majority of this ward to be transferred to the City of Perth, Mrs Henderson said.

    There was no consultation with the city, no consultation with the community, and no determination by the Local Government Advisory Board on this proposal.

    This decision has a signifi -cant effect on this community of 3000 Subiaco residents who

    would be transferred to an entity they did not ask to be part of.

    She said the change would also have a major fi nancial impact on Subiaco through the loss of rates and other revenue.

    This will have to lead to rate increases and a reduction of services, she said in her letter.

    All local governments need to be aware of the possibility of being on the receiving end of a similar decision and the poten-tial impacts on your organisation and community.

    Sam and Stew make it from Alaska to Central America

    Were writing this in Guatemala.Since leaving Perth in May and

    picking up our bike at Los Angeles airport, we have driven more than 25,000km.

    Whod have ever thought retiring would be so much fun and hard work, and so rewarding?

    Since our last update, when we reached Alaska (North to Alaska on trail bike, POST, August 15), we ended up taking the Alaska Marine Highway and ferries to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, because a broken starter motor held us up for a couple of weeks.

    On the road again, we had an in-credible time getting to as many of the US national parks as we could before they closed the passes for the winter snow: Mt Saint Helens Volcano, Crater Lake, Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, Lassen Volcanic and Craters of the Moon, Yosemite and Death Valley.

    All amazing places to visit.

    Our past few weeks through Mexico and Belize took us from the Baja Calfornia Desert, with amazing huge cactus, into tropical rainforest and sweltering heat.

    We broke down crossing the Baja desert and, thankfully, Stew used a spare ignition part wed carried since our fi rst travels on the bike in 1990.

    We then drove from the Pacifi c to the Gulf coast and on to the Caribbean, taking the opportu-nity to visit part of the Belizian Barrier Reef.

    Wed like to say hi to all our family and friends back in Perth.

    We hope you all had happy fes-tive holidays, too, and send you all good wishes for the New Year.

    Well continue heading south, so well update POST readers as we get into South America.

    Stewart Newsome and Sandra Saunders

    Nedlands via Guatemala

    Sandra (Sam) and Stew at the entrance to Tikal National Park in Guatemala, where they climbed ancient Mayan pyramids surrounded by vast rainforest. They left Nedlands on their BMW trail bike in May last year to resume a round-the-world holiday they had begun 25 years ago as newlyweds in Yorkshire, UK. They got as far as Australia, where they were waylaid by work and starting

    a family. Now, they are relishing the chance to fi nish their trip.

    Be clear about waste Re the report, Waste pick-ups on verge of

    extinction (POST, December 19).I did attend the Subiaco electors meeting

    and did raise the issue of bulk waste verge collections, but all my comments were about residents leaving bulk waste on the verge outside verge collection dates.

    I am very appreciative of the regular bulk (and green) waste verge collections we have in Subiaco and would like them to continue.

    But I am keen residents refrain from leav-ing bulk waste on their verges at other times, because it attracts pickers and looks unsightly.

    Thanks for the POSTs account of Cottesloe councils fi nal meeting for 2015 (Hammond blasts Indiana mortgage, December 19).

    Ratepayers association president John Hammond and designer Lawrence Scanlan presented a viable plan to address the vexed question of the public toilets under the Indiana.

    Indianas tenant, Red Rock Leisure, has been given enough slack and largesse to solve the problem, without success.

    I hope the onus falls where it deserves to, and the council saves ratepayers further expense and embarrassment when it deliberates next month.

    Lew SmithForrest Street, Cottesloe

    Indiana: enough largesse

    Retro-wisdomPeppermint Groves deputy shire president,

    Charles Hohnen, is quoted in the POST as saying he would prefer to attend a wine ap-preciation course than a yoga class (Grove warriors strike a pose, POST, December 22).

    When my husband, Derek Leeder, was elected a Subiaco councillor in 2011, Im sure he would have expressed the same preference.

    As his widow, I wish he had chosen a less indulgent lifestyle.

    Helen LeederCuthbert Street, Shenton Park

    Markets need some market research

    Re the Markets on Rokeby (Market criticalto Subis future, POST, December 19).

    Why not ask people why they may choose to leave their homes and their iPads, drive to Rokeby Road and spend some time?

    I suspect the answers may revolve about being seen and seeing in public, drinking, eating and listening to live music.

    And what times during the week?And do they want to sit or stroll?Do they want it to be especially welcoming

    to Subiaco residents?I have my thoughts on these issues, but it is

    the market users who will drive the success or failure of the project.

    John BrettCoghlan Road, Subiaco

    We know that there is a belief some councils seem to

    behave as tyrants, so people could not be condemned for thinking, when they read Chris Hassells letter (On a real high in Cottesloe, POST, December 19), that perhaps Cottesloe council was emulat-ing Caligula, who, it is said, wrote laws too small and hung them too high for anyone to read them, knowing that ignorance of the law was no defence.

    Residents want parking blitzShenton Park residents

    want a blitzkrieg against hospital workers and con-tractors who park free and clog up local streets rather than paying to park at QEII.

    Parking and traffi c issues dominated last weeks meet-ing of electors in Subiaco at The Palms Community

    Centre.Residents passed motions

    to curb or stamp out what they said was illegal parking on their doorstep.

    They want the council to take a raft of measures including changing parking times and conditions, and looking at how it polices the problem, including fl ooding specifi c areas with rangers.

    I feel it should almost be like a blitzkrieg approach, Hilda Street resident Peter Tallantire said.

    If you look at Wikipedia it states it means lightning war.

    Tony Turner, from Violet Grove, agreed and said a blitzkrieg approach should be taken.

    John Godfrey, another Hilda Street resident, said it was cheaper for hospital workers to take the slim risk of an occasional $55 parking ticket than to pay up to $5.90 to park there daily.

    Another speaker said the councils rangers were hopeless, while another said they were doing what they could.

    Some speakers even of-

    fered to act as voluntary rangers for the council and help it raise cash from ping-ing cars.

    Residents said they thought there were just two rangers on duty, but Subiaco CEO Don Burnett said the council had 10 rangers.

    He admitted that fi lling ranger jobs could be dif-fi cult.

    Local homeowners also want the council to reverse a recent policy change that halved the number of park-ing permits for residents from two to one.

    Mr Burnett told the meet-ing that parking was a major issue for the community.

    Ive been here for eight weeks and every day there is a parking issue, he said.

    Secret developer contact banned

    Cambridge councillors meetings with developers will have to be declared on an online register.

    But staff will not be expected to make similar declarations.

    Counci l CEO Jason Buckley said at the recent full council meeting that it was part of staff members role to deal with developers.

    To suggest staff have no re-quirement to meet standards is inappropriate, he said.

    They are subject to the law.Council lor Corinne

    MacRae said it was offensive to suggest staff did not act

    properly.Councillor Jane Powell

    said an internal audit sys-tem was designed to pick up problems.

    Mayor Keri Shannon put the ideas forward and asked Mr Buckley to prepare reports.

    Most of the councillors disagreed, but they passed a register of councillor-developer meetings.

    The proposal is not because there has been anything untoward, Ms Shannon said.

    She said registers would improve transparency of the councils operations.

    Rokeby markets take breakSubiacos Markets on Rokeby is taking a two-week break

    and will re-open January 16.The market is operated by Subiaco-based Venn Property

    Group.In October, just before the opening weekend, Venn

    Group CEO Evan Briers said a year of planning had gone into the markets and that it could have been the biggest street market in Australia.

    A Venn Group spokesperson said the extended break was presumably because many people would still be on holidays in early January.

    Hats off forMLC buildMethodist Ladies College

    principal Rebecca Cody put on a red hard hat and work boots to see work start on the junior school redevel-opment.

    Were building a learning wonderland for girls now and the generations of MLC fami-lies to come, Ms Cody said, as PACT workers prepared to demolish Bosisto Hall and the early years classrooms.

    Its part of our 10-year plan and fulfi ls our ambitions to en-able the learning environment to become the third teacher.

    Bosisto Hall was built in 1956 and named for long-serving MLC council secretary Roy Bosisto.

    Ms Cody said his grandson, Mark, and Marks wife, Helen, who had gone to MLC, were very supportive of the changes.

    The Bosisto Walk will be created in honour of the fam-ily, Ms Cody said.

    Modular classrooms will go on the school oval this month.

    A development assessment panel approved the redevelop-ment in August.

    X marks the spot for parking

    Parking issues would probably top the list of complaints about Subiaco.

    Many people, including residents, workers, visitors and shoppers, have stories or grievances about park-ing there.

    Subiaco council, which says the city has 4400 park-ing bays, has produced a map to show where they are.

    Local businesses can get free copies to hand out to staff and customers.

    The council wrestled back control of nearly 50 car spots in the Seddon Street car-park, behind the Pavilion Markets, from Wilson Parking late last year.

    Last year Wilson also lost the carpark at the Ace Cinema site, which is now a big hole in the ground, and more parking also went at the Station Street markets, which are also being redeveloped.

    But Wilson still remains the second biggest opera-tor of carparks in the city.

    One good tern deserves another The birds re-tern to North Fremantle for a romp and parenthood.

    A toast to roast with the most

    The Facebook generation has liked a Subiaco cafe into pole position in the social media world.

    Customers of Architects and Heroes in Rokeby Road and users of the Beanhunter app have voted it the best place for a coff ee west of Perth.

    It came eighth in the 2014 list of Perths top cafes and last year.

    Local cafes relied on sup-port from their customers to submit reviews and ratings about the service, coff ee selection, food and searches for the best cafe in specifi c regions across Australia, a Beanhunter spokesperson said.

    The awards are voted for by coff ee lovers and help to direct visitors to the best cafes in town, he said.

    There is a season, tern, tern, ternThe fairy tern breeding

    sanctuary established by Fremantle Ports at the northern end of Rous Head is again being used as a nesting site, the or-ganisation says.

    Fremantle Ports envi-ronmental adviser Adam van der Beeke said the birds had begun courting there in mid-November and had arrived in large numbers.

    He said chicks began hatching in the week be-fore Christmas and num-bers would peak this week.

    Very little is known about the structure of

    our local migratory sub-population of fairy terns, the role of the sanctuary in maintaining this popula-tion, and its relationship with other local breeding sites and roosts, Adam said.

    We are planning to band the new chicks this month, before they can fl y, to help us understand more about their move-ments and the breed-ing performance of the colony.

    The banding will involve an experienced team of volunteers and will be supervised by Dr Nic Dunlop, a terrestrial and

    marine ecologist with a special interest in seabird population dynamics.

    The bird bands are provided by the federal governments Australian Bird and Bat Banding Scheme, which manages the collection of informa-tion about threatened and migratory bird and bat species.

    To help keep the fairy terns safe in their fenced sanctuary, and to max-imise the success of the breeding effort, people are asked to stay outside the fenced area and report trespassers to Fremantle Ports.

    Firies avoid magnetic personalitiesFirefighters may have a

    reputation for being hunks, but there is one attraction the crews of Daglish fi re station want to avoid.

    Over the past two weeks the local fi ries have been brushing up safety procedures for dealing with emergencies at King Edward Memorial Hospital.

    Among the dangers they face is being hurt by some of the special-ised equipment in the hospital particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines.

    The hospitals MRI scanner is on the ground fl oor of A block, opposite the patient library, and operates Monday to Friday.

    There are cases worldwide of patients, staff and even fi re-fi ghters being pulled with force from a distance by the equip-ments powerful magnet when they have metal objects, such air tanks/breathing apparatus, on them.

    Firefi ghters from Daglish fi re station were recently perform-ing a scheduled familiarisation of King Edward Memorial Hospital, said DFES north coastal metropolitan superinten-

    dent Allan Riley.The crews discussed fi refi ght-

    ing techniques required in the vicinity of an MRI machine.

    Superintendent Riley said he expected there would be another two visits for the same purpose to KEMH in the near future.

    Familiarisation visits were standard for all fi re station crews, he said.

    Firefi ghters from Daglish fi re station perform the same famil-iarisation activity at all hospitals in their response area, Mr Riley said.

    Several public and private hospitals in the area including

    St John of God, Subiaco and Sir Charles Gairdner have MRI machines.

    In September, Health Minister Kim Hames announced that the new childrens hospital in Nedlands which was originally due to open in November but will now open a year later will have the states fi rst intra-operative MRI machine.

    He said intra-operative MRI was proved to decrease the need for more surgery, improve recovery rates, help surgical accuracy and decrease infection rates.

    Cott goes for newmeeting schedule

    Cottesloe residents could have better access to information this year thanks to new meeting arrangements, council CEO Mat Humfrey says.

    Councillors recently voted to hold non-voting agenda briefings on Tuesdays, and full council meetings on the following Tuesdays.

    Until now, in the week before the Monday night full council meetings, councillors attended and voted on issues at up to three committee meetings.

    The agenda that will be released for the briefi ng session will be the same as we currently release for the committee meetings, Mr Humfrey said.

    Mr Humfrey said the new arrangements would mean better time management for councillors and staff.

    Briefi ng sessions will provide an opportunity for ,councillors to ask as many questions as they wish and thoroughly discuss an issue in a less formal situation, he said.

    This is likely to result in more information being made available than less and therefore result in a much improved decision-making process.

    Mayor Jo Dawkins said agendas and reports for both meetings would be posted on the council web-site in advance as usual.

    [Residents] will not be kept in the dark, she said.

    Councillors voted to keep the starting time of full council meetings at 7pm, instead of a proposed 6pm start.

    Seven is a much more civilised hour, councillor Sally Pyvis said.

    Shannon wants emailsIn a Hillary Clinton-

    style email purge, Cambridge mayor Keri Shannon wants to see anything from private email accounts of former members of the council.

    She wants anyone who has ever been on the coun-cil to send full copies of all emails from their private accounts to the council so it can archive anything that related to their duty as an elected member.

    Emails that went through the council system were already archived, council-lors at the last meeting of the year were told.

    The records created or received by the elected

    members relating to coun-cil business are govern-ment records and must form part of the corporate memory and may form part of the state archive, Ms Shannon said.

    At present, no elected member past or present has forwarded relevant emails from their private account to the town for archival.

    Ms Shannons idea was due to be put to the vote but at the last minute was withdrawn from the agenda.

    Instead, it will be dis-cussed at one of the closed forum meetings where members of the public are not admitted.

    Fire destroys a Floreat treasure

    Mystery surrounds the cause of a fi re that gutted a Floreat house de-signed by renowned architect Iwan Iwanoff.

    Mr Iwanoff has a cult following, and the house in The Boulevard was described as a masterpiece of 1960s Perth modernism.

    Many people who admired the 1965 Paganin house, opposite the Wembley Golf Course have mourned the loss of a Floreat treasure.

    The fi re had started inside the house, police arson squad detective sergeant Matthew Long said.

    It is a non-determinate fi re, he said.The blaze started in the unoccupied

    house four days before Christmas while the owners, a family of four, were in Hong Kong for a week.

    The alarm was raised by traffi c police who had stopped a car for speeding outside the burning house (Alert cop raises alarm, POST, December 22).

    Offi cers from the arson squad and Department of Fire and Emergency Services were investigating on Tuesday morning last week, hours after it had been destroyed.

    WA police media said there appeared to be no suspicious circumstances.

    The couple who own it, Tim Bult and Lisa Church, had bought it about two years ago.

    It sold at auction for $2.1million, Abode Real Estate sales associate Robbie Milligan said.

    Sergeant Long said it was possible for fi res to start even if electrical equip-ment was not switched on.

    He said it had not been possible to pinpoint the source of the fi re because of the big open-plan expanse of the house.

    There was a lot of timber in the house, pillars and timber ceilings and

    a tin roof, he said.The four-bedroom house with swim-

    ming pool was built for the Paganin family, and was lavishly fi tted out with marble and timber, which helped fuel the fi re.

    Cambridge council boss Jason Buckley said it would be the owners decision whether to demolish it.

    Campaigners had been in the process of applying to have the house added t it was regarded as Iwan Iwanoffs fi nest private project.

    Mr Iwanoff was born in Bulgaria and after World War II was relocated to Australia as a displaced person.

    He lived in Floreat and was a fel-low of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects.

    He designed many architecturally signifi cant buildings, two of which are already listed on the register: Marsala

    House in Dianella and the brutalist and once-controversial Northam council offi ces and library.

    State Government architect Geoff Warn, interviewed by the ABC, said Paganin House was a masterpiece.

    It is an excellent balance of European elegance and the infamous open-plan Case Study Houses in and around Los Angeles, which are now collectors items and highly valued, he told the broadcaster.

    The Paganin House is full of opti-mism and is a celebration of suburban living at its best.

    Mr Iwanoff practised in WA from 1951 to 1986 and became renowned for his creative use of concrete blocks as a building material.

    I dont know of another local archi-tect who has attracted anything like Iwans fan club, Mr Warn said.

    The kitchen as photographed when the house was auctioned two years ago.

    Iwan Iwano designed the house in The Boulevard for the Paganin family of timber mer-chants. The extensive timber features had added to the intensity of the re, said experts.

    The morning after the blaze, police arson squad investigators inspected the scene.

    Detective Sergeant Matthew Long from the arson squad said the open-plan design of the house made it impossible to pinpoint how the re started.

    You are now entering Cambridge Like Rome, all roads will lead

    to Cambridge if mayor Keri Shannon has her way.

    She wants new signs at every entry to the town to let visitors know where they are enjoying the good life.

    We can foster community pride and ensure visitors are aware they are enjoying the amenities and services of our town, Ms Shannon said.

    She wants council staff to draw up a report by February on the

    cost of replacing all the gateway signs on main roads into the town.

    Council CEO Jason Buckley said: I think when councils spend too much on branding, ratepayers do not accept it.

    He said the council would need to have a common approach so all signs were of a similar design.

    He said a sign at Lake Monger that had been knocked over would not be replaced until a review of all the towns signs was carried out.

    Subi weeds out garden suburb viewsResidents near Daglish and

    Shenton Park railway stations are being asked what parts of their neighbourhoods should be protected from high-density development.

    The state government has designated land within 400m of stations for infi ll.

    Subiaco council is surveying residents views on heritage and increased density.

    Daglish was Perths first garden suburb, modelled on Britains garden suburb move-ment in the inter-war years, with open gardens and few fences.

    The old section of Daglish,

    built in the 1930s, was differ-ent from the smaller, narrow workers cottages across the railway line in Subiaco and Shenton Park.

    Many Daglish homes, regarded as architectural treasures by the WA Art Deco Society, are now at risk of redevelopment.

    Residents near Loch Street, Karrakatta, Swanbourne, Grant Street, Mosman Park and Victoria Street railway stations face similar infi ll pressure.

    The survey asks residents what they value most about their neighbourhood and how important its character is.

    They are also asked what type of increased density they would support.

    Another question asks which houses, streetscapes or places they feel should be protected.

    The survey, on the councils website, closes on February 5.

    Subiaco council which has a policy of not advertising major local development applications over the Christmas period de-fended running the survey over the holiday break.

    It said it was a preliminary survey to assist with planning.

    A plan for the redevelopment of the former Shenton Park Rehab Hospital, which closed in October 2014, has been held up.

    Community feedback on the draft plan for the 16ha site, which shows up to 1100 new homes and some buildings up

    to 12-storeys high, closed at the end of January last year.

    An updated version was due to be released in October or November, but LandCorp said it now expected it to be ready this month.

    Urban bush campaigner Margaret Owen said she feared an important deadline had al-ready passed.

    She said the Urban Bushland Council and representatives from other environmental groups had been meeting LandCorp offi cers to save as much of the Rehab sites bush as possible.

    Mrs Owen said that some time after December 7, LandCorp had referred its proposal without

    details of the carve-up plan for the bush to the federal govern-ment for assessment because of its potential impact on endan-gered carnabys cockatoos.

    The deadline for feedback ([email protected]) was January 4.

    The carnabys roost nearby, at Perry Lakes and at Hollywood, Mrs Owen said.

    They depend on, and regu-larly feed in, this bush and use it as a safe highway to other feeding areas.

    Loss of this bush will signifi -cantly and negatively impact the local carnabys and therefore the species ability to survive and remain in our suburbs.

    Parklet divides restaurateurs A fellow Napoleon Street

    restaurateur objected to Kevin McCabes bid to have a parklet.

    At its recent meeting, Cottesloe councillors voted 8-0 for the parklet to go outside Mr McCabes Vans Cafe.

    But Cimbalino co-owner David Morgan said he objected because it would mean los-ing another parking bay in Cottesloes CBD.

    I am sure it has not gone un-noticed that trade in Napoleon Street has dropped off dramati-cally in the past 12 months, Mr Morgan said in an email to the council.

    There are four empty shops, two that are on the market and three traders saying they will not renew their leases ... and that is just on Napoleon Street.

    Mr Morgan said the parklet would help only Vans.

    It will do absolutely nothing to improve the street, he said.

    Mr Morgan said he had ap-plied for a parklet but changed his mind after deciding the

    parking bay it would go on was preferable.

    Mr McCabe told a committee meeting last week he believed the parklet would bring more business to the CBD.

    There are no losers here, Mr McCabe said.

    Council would be seen to be adding to the already good work theyve done on the street.

    Mayor Jo Dawkins said the parklet would add vibrancy.

    Im not one bit worried

    about losing a car bay, she said.

    Councillor Katrina Downes agreed. All the shops will benefi t, she said.

    Planning manager Andrew Jackson said Cottesloe would get between $1000 and $2000 in fees, thanks to the parklet.

    Parklets started in San Francisco. They are footpath extensions that provide more space and amenities, like tables and chairs or seats.

    Street life How Vans parklet could look now it has been ap-proved by Cottesloe councillors.

    Buckland Hill is Marys legacyMosman Park council has

    unveiled a plaque in Jabe Dodd Park honouring Mary Dillon, who won the battle for Buckland Hill.

    Ms Dillon, who died on June 6, 2013, steadfastly defended the ratepayers and towns interests for many years.

    She was a founding member and secretary of the Mosman Park Ratepayers Association from 1983 until she died, and was secretary of the Buckland Hill Action Group.

    Ms Dillon is remembered as an urban guerilla who cam-paigned to save the Buckland Hill bush from developers.

    On Monday, December 22, mayor Ron Norris, councillors Ian Flack and Zenda Johnson,

    staff and members of Miss Dillons family gathered at the gazebo in Jabe Dodd Park to unveil the plaque.

    Mr Norris said Miss Dillon was a tenacious woman who possessed a keen intellect and was highly educated, and had used these gifts and her con-siderable energy to advocate on many important causes in Mosman Park.

    Miss Dillon was a prolifi c letter writer and frequently wrote to the POST as well as the council.

    The councils archives are fi lled with her handwritten notes recording her concerns about the rapid expansion of development and the need to balance that with preserving

    natural habitat. Because she never married,

    her descendants are her neph-ews, members of the McCann family.

    They said Miss Dillon would have hated the attention being drawn to her, because she had preferred to work behind the scenes.

    We all owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the re-markable Miss Dillon for her passion and her unwavering commitment to this place, Mr Norris said.

    Our town was most fortu-nate to have her as a resident, as we and future generations are able to enjoy the natural features of our town that she worked so hard to protect.

    Nedlands council has ap-proved a residents application to lease the front part of her house to short-stay tenants, despite four objections from neighbours.

    But some councillors said the arrangement could be disruptive to neighbours.

    Councillor Toni James said approving Dorothy Bells ap-plication for her house at 16A Broome Street would set a bad precedent for future issues of short-term tenancy in Nedlands.

    Is this what our local residents really want? Ms James said.

    Ms Bell urged the council to accept her proposal and said it should prefer to accommodate [guests] in an environment such as [hers] rather than an estab-lishment such as the Captain Stirling Hotel.

    There is a difference between bed-and-breakfast and short-term accommodation, where the host is present and the venture is in the hosts home, she said.

    I love my home, and my sub-urb, and would not do anything to jeopardise that.

    The front part of Ms Bells property was listed as a Senior Persons Dwelling but is now a Use Not Listed, or short-stay accommodation dwelling.

    It is understood that Ms Bell has leased the section of her home to people wanting to stay somewhere close to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and Karrakatta Cemetery.

    When Nedlands asked neigh-bours what they thought, there were four objections and one supporting comment.

    No more than two guests are now allowed to stay at the prop-erty at one time, for a maximum of three months.

    Novelist has a little fun with historyNovelist Peter Burke says

    he has been naughty.In his new book, he dresses

    Alexander Forrest the pre-miers brother in wet red bath-ers and an ill-fi tting Chinese gown when he invites a newspaper owner to his Peppermint Grove home on Christmas Eve, 1900.

    Proper historians cant do that sort of thing, Peter said.

    I simply wanted to see Alex Forrest so attired.

    Peters novel, Wettening Auralia, is about C.Y. OConnors water pipeline from Mundaring to the Goldfi elds.

    WA history makes most peoples eyes glaze over, Peter said.

    It is regarded as dreary by some, but it isnt.

    I can get through a book a bit more easily if theres a bit of humour and humanity.

    OConnor, the chief engineer on the pipeline project, eventu-ally killed himself.

    Most West Australians believe he was hounded into suicide by hostile politicians and news-papers, but Peter says there is more to the story.

    His novel moves between chap-ters by and about OConnors horse-keeper, a nurse, three Forrests, a British administra-tor, Paddy Hannan, newspaper owners, and others from the turn of the century.

    More than once the novel men-tions the Six Hungry Families a set of interconnected people from WA nobility who carved up the state.

    People talk about the Families as if they are in the past tense, Peter said.

    Its incredible how small a town this is still.

    When you write about anyone of that time, youre conscious of

    who theyre related to.In another scene from the

    book, John Forrest is in con-versation with a fawning John Winthrop Hackett, owner of The West Australian newspaper, in Perth Park (eventually renamed Kings Park).

    The obese premier fantasises about having a big bronze statue of himself in the park, overlook-ing the city and river.

    It will give the people some-thing to come and throw chook fruit at, Sir John says.

    You will portray me as a Roman emperor little boys could come here to widdle on my foot.

    Peter said WA was never like any of the colonies on the east coast.

    We were nice middle-class folk, and that led to a bit of nepotism, he said.

    We were a bit like Adelaide, except we were never churchy.

    Peter said the parallels be-tween WA then and now are striking.

    Just out of a mining boom, the rest of the world in reces-sion, he said.

    How does a society deal with coming out of prosperity?

    Wed slummed it for 70 years and suddenly gold was found, and suddenly FIFO workers started arriving.

    You can see who we are today because of what hap-pened then.

    Peter deplored the trend from the 1970s for teaching WA his-tory according to themes.

    I hate it: principles, themat-ics, but no humans, he said.

    There is theoretical crap thats unreadable I like hu-mour and humans.

    Peter said his next novel would be about smallpox.

    His fi rst novel, The Drowning Dream, was set in 1920s Broome.

    As well as writing, Peter is a doctor who lives in Nedlands and practises in Herdsman.

    Wettening Auralia is avail-able at Swanbourne Bookcaffe, Claremonts Lane Bookshop, the

    Subiaco Bookshop in Rokeby Road, and Uni Bookshops for $24.95.

    Peter is donating proceeds to Direct Reach Ethiopia, and West Australian Music.

    Cole quits for AlbanyNedlands councils second-in-

    command, Mike Cole, has quit for a sea-change.

    Mr Cole, corporate and strategy director, is taking on a new job with Albany council.

    A keen surf lifesaver, Mr Cole and his wife, Maxine, were due to move to Albany this month.

    Their son and daughter are both grown up and have left home.

    We love the Albany area we have holidayed down there a lot, Mr Cole said.

    He said he and his wife had talked about making a lifestyle change.

    When this job at Albany came up, we decided it was the perfect time, he said.

    Mr Cole will be taking on the same role, director of corporate services, at Albany.

    He worked at Nedlands for more than eight years after moving from

    the former Wanneroo council.His five-year contract with

    Nedlands has another year to run.Mr Cole ran the council for nine

    months after former CEO Graham Foster resigned in 2012 following the election of some councillors.

    $100k Hollywood pool backstroke

    Parents who faced a mara-thon fundraising effort to fi x up the swimming pool at Hollywood Primary School are breathing a sigh of relief.

    Offi cials at the Department of Education have backfl ipped and come up with $100,000 to-wards the work on the 45-year-old pool.

    It means we will be able to do the work this year, P&C member Veronica Binns said.

    The Education Minister, Peter Collier, did one of his spontaneous school visits and the next thing we know is we get a letter from the department saying they have

    allocated the money.Mr Collier said the decision

    had nothing to do with him or his visit.

    Having visited the school I am extremely conscious of the issues that have existed in regard to its ongoing viability, Mr Collier said.

    I am pleased that the Education Department has been able to assist in overcom-ing these problems.

    Mr Colliers spokesman said he could not favour one school over another and the decision was not his call to make.

    John Fischer, executive director at the department, said: The pool at Hollywood Primary School is highly valued by both the school

    and wider community, and a place where vital swimming and water safety programs are taught, including the popular VacSwim program.

    The P&C gets an annual grant from Nedlands council that covers the cost of chemi-cals, for opening the pool to the public.

    The council does not have its own pool.

    Ms Binns said staff had said the council would not make a donation because the pool belonged to the Education Department.

    Local businesses donated dozens of prizes for a raffl e and the women of Nedlands Golf Club donated $2000 to the pool fund.

    Wall will block light, airResidents of a Churchlands

    unit complex say they feel cheated by a 97-apartment block proposed for the site next door.

    One of the residents, Graham Barton, said he had recently discovered the development meant a wall outside his fi rst-fl oor unit, off Flynn Street, would be replaced by one that would come halfway up his balcony.

    It will block the sunlight and the ventilation, he said.

    The fi ve-storey development, by the Psaros company, had been approved by the devel-opment assessment panel rather than Stirling council, residents said.

    Mr Barton said Psaros had told him the wall outside his property had to come down to make way for its wall, and because the existing wall was

    5cm out of alignment.Mr Barton said he had lived

    in his unit for 17 years.He said the units strata

    managers were investigating whether residents had a claim for adverse possession if the wall was 5cm out.

    He said unit residents at the DAP meeting that discussed the development had been told they were not allowed to address the meeting with their concerns.

    They said we needed to give 72 hours notice that we wanted to speak, he said.

    Meanwhile Cambridge coun-cil, which owns the park on the corner of Grantham and Selby streets in Floreat, which is next to the development site, will lease part of the park to Psaros.

    During negotiations, Justin Hatch, from Psaros, told Cambridge council that using

    the park for deliveries would reduce Selby Street closures and would reduce inconven-ience for people in the area.

    But councillor Andres Timmermanis twice argued the company was not paying enough.

    Psaros said it would bury powerlines during the con-struction process, but Mr Timmermanis said there would be no benefi t from that to Cambridge residents.

    After more talks with Cambridge council, Psaros offered to pay $308 a day to use the park.

    When Mr Timmermanis argued about the terms of the planning approval, councillor Tracey King said it was diffi -cult when two councils were involved.

    I would be uneasy riding roughshod over the City of Stirling, she said.

    Graham Barton on the balcony he says will be blocked by a big wall at the neighbouring site of the Psaros development.

    January 2016

    The third trail in the Whadjuk network, the Yange Kep Bidi has now opened.

    The longest in the Whadjuk network of trails, the 21.2km long Yange Kep Bidi starts at Freshwater Bay on the Swan River foreshore and finishes at Lake Monger. Along the way it meanders through scenic bushland and past the new Bold Park Aquatic where walkers can stop off for a drink or bite to eat.

    The Yange Kep Bidi is an initiative of community groups from the Western Suburbs Regional Organisation of Councils (WESROC) and has been developed with collaboration and consultation between the community, Department of Sport and Recreation, Lotterywest and State and Local Governments.

    The trails link remnant bushlands, heritage trails and significant Aboriginal sites. This project furthers links

    with the wider community and the Noongar people, traditional owners of the land.

    The trails celebrate and share Noongar culture through the use of modern technology, offering users a diverse and unique experience. The trails attract walkers, cyclists, photographers and dog owners who enjoy the flora and fauna and wildlife.

    The Yange Kep Bidi encapsulates the breathtaking views and iconic local scenery. The innovative QR codes engage listeners with Noongar stories whilst they enjoy the tranquillity the local parks and bushland offers.

    Australia Day Festival and Citizenship CeremonyCelebrate Australia Day in true Aussie style under the shady gum trees at Perry Lakes. There will be plenty of fantastic childrens entertainment provided on the day, together with a free breakfast generously supplied by the Lions Club of Floreat.

    You can help vulnerable animals this summer by taking the pledge for summer dog safety.

    Dogs dying in hot cars is a serious issue in Western Australia.

    Last summer alone, RSPCA WA received hundreds of calls from concerned community members who spotted dogs trapped in cars.

    Because dogs dont lose heat by sweating, they can become dangerously hot in just six minutes and even die from heat exhaustion.

    These tragic losses are totally avoidable.

    You can help spread the message of summer safety by taking the pledge on justsixminutes.com.au to never leave your dog in a car on a hot day.

    Dont mention the war Volunteer library worker

    Wendy Johnson-Noonan gets some odd requests when choos-ing books for older readers.

    The Nedlands resident helps up to 20 people get their reading fi x via Claremonts library.

    One particular woman will only have English crime writers or thrillers, Wendy said.

    Another doesnt want war stories. Some want only talking books.

    Some want biography and serious writing.

    Wendy has been doing the job for 12 months and spends two hours a fortnight scouring the shelves.

    Its a great job and I love doing it, she said.

    Claremont has a lovely li-brary.

    Wendy has nearly knocked off Tim Wintons Eyrie and loved Kathryn Heymans novel The Accomplice, about the Batavia murders.

    Claremont recently celebrated the 60th anniversary of its li-brary service.

    Mayor Jock Barker said the li-brary had an interesting history.

    Claremont had been the fi rst metropolitan council in WA to sign an agreement with the State Library for the provision of local library resources, he said.

    The librarys 60th year mile-stone is particularly signifi cant as it is a story of triumph over adversity, Mr Barker said.

    I was among many community members left devastated when our library was gutted by fi re, along with the administration building, back in November 2010.

    Since then, the library has re-established itself in the former Methodist church in Stirling Highway.

    From its new location, the Claremont Community Hub and Library has grown and its services have expanded due in no small part to the efforts of volunteers like Wendy.

    The library also offers English and Mandarin conversation sessions, computer training for seniors, and a home delivery ser-vice for house-bound Claremont residents.

    Lake plan to be refloated

    A bid to cut through red tape holding up a work plan for Lake Jualbup will go before councillors next month.

    It will be exactly four years since a council-backed project for the Shenton Park lake was given the go-ahead.

    In February 2012, councillors voted to maintain a sustainable but adequate permanent body of water in Lake Jualbup.

    This was to be done through the use of a polymer material in the lake bed to limit the amount of leakage through the bottom, by sloping banks in two sections but keeping walls and footpaths in other parts.

    Indigenous people said the area was a natural wetland with a seasonal cycle of being wet and dry and should be left alone.

    Problems with the polymer trials and a raft of other issues have seen the lake works largely mothballed.

    In a recent update about the project Subiaco council said it had been working with a Lake Jualbup working group com-prising councillors and commu-nity representatives to develop a management plan for the lake.

    The plan will be presented to the council in February 2016, the council said.

    Back in August, Subiaco said consultants GHD had been hired to help prepare the management plan.

    The draft plan notes a num-ber of risks.

    These risks centred on the need for further fl ood and hy-

    drological studies, it said.As well as consulting local and

    indigenous communities, the council has to get approval and permission from a range of gov-ernment agencies, including the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, Water Corporation, Department of Water and the EPA.

    In August, Subiaco said work with the Water Corporation to develop fl ood modelling for a one-in-100-year storm would delay the final management plan.

    Fight over corner store

    The owner of a former corner store is opposing Subiacos bid to heritage list the shop.

    Subiaco council wants to add 1 Hay Street to the local govern-ment inventory and the town planning scheme heritage list as it has done with other former corner stores.

    City planners say it is one of fi ve surviving examples of pre-World War I corner shops and has been identifi ed as having considerable signifi cance.

    But building owner John Martin does not want his prop-erty included on the lists.

    The issue was referred back to next months meeting of council to decide.

    This gap is to allow for negotia-tions with the building owners to achieve both retention of the heritage elements while permitting development closer to the sites potential.

    LEstrange survey was lacking in informationI was extremely dismayed

    with Churchlands MP Sean LEstranges approach to survey-ing his electorate about sites for a new high school.

    Not nearly enough background information was given for us to make an informed decision on a site.

    In my view, none of the four sites is suitable.

    Three are in bush reserves: the former Skyline drive-in site, land on the corner of Rochdale and Wollaston roads, and land on the corner of The Boulevard and West Coast Highway.

    Three sites are labelled va-cant land .

    Yes, two are vacant because they are bush reserves.

    Even the Fred Burton Park

    site encroaches on a special coastal environment of veg-etated coastal dunes.

    Additionally, the site on the corner of The Boulevard and West Coast Highway is not only a Bush Forever site, but also on the corner of a very busy intersection, noisy and very hazardous for those who ride bikes to school, and pedestrians.

    None of this is mentioned in Mr LEstranges survey.

    Nor is Bold Park, though two potential sites are within it.

    Bold Park is not even shown on the survey map.

    Using the old high school and drive-in sites would in-volve significant incursions into Bold Park, including the high-conservation-value bush

    surrounding the drive-in area.Possibly all four sites are

    bush re prone, which was not even considered.

    Another lesson from this issue is to think in the long term be-fore we close down or hand over existing schools in government grabs for cash.

    We need another high school in our area because Swanbourne and Hollywood highs were closed and their land sold for housing, City Beach High School was leased out because, for a short while, its enrolments were down, and the dream that Shenton College and Churchlands High could cope with local student numbers did not come true.

    The $4.7million project to enlarge and improve Indiana, at Cottesloe beach, will involve extending this north-eastern corner of the building into a terrace with a bar and a kiosk. The palm tree on the left of the picture plus

    At last Cott loos are looking betterCongratulations to Cottesloe

    council, council of cers and Indiana management for engag-ing a cleaning company to deal with the disgraceful state of the public toilets at Cottesloe, WAs premier beach.

    Over many years there have been bitter complaints by resi-dents and visitors.

    At last, after only a few weeks, we have noted a huge improve-ment in the cleanliness of these public facilities.

    Further upgrading is required,

    but having clean facilities is a start that helps to cover a mul-titude of other problems within ithese areas.

    Full credit must be given to James, an All Clean Services employee, who very obviously takes pride in his work and has been working progressively to-wards a much higher standard of cleanliness in the toilets.

    Yvonne Hartsecretary, Cottesloe Residents and

    Ratepayers AssociationMann Street, Cottesloe

    It is mischievous to say the total cost of the Indiana project is $4.7million when quoting SOS Cottesloe president John Hammond as saying it would be an enormous encumbrance on the town and ratepayers (Hammond blasts Indiana mortgage, POST, December 19).

    Cottesloe councils contribu-tion is $1.7million, with the state government and Indiana providing the other $3million.

    Mr Hammond disregards that the council has about $10million in the bank when he says: We dont want a second and third mortgage on future generations.

    But exaggeration has become common for SOS, which, in recent years, seems to have morphed from a ratepayers group int o an instrument of the political left, in my opinion.

    It would cost about $1.7mil-lion for the council to provide a new changeroom and toilets for beachgoers.

    But with the Indiana project, residents, beachgoers and tour-

    ists get much, much more than just first-class changing and toilet facilities.

    The new caf on the eastern side of the building will provide a much needed casual eatery out of the sea breeze, where residents, swimmers and tour-ists can meet to enjoy meals or coffee.

    The now dead area between Indiana and Marine Parade becomes usable public open space with a wider path for pedestrians and cyclists.

    The Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club gets a better boatshed and there is universal access to the beach.

    And the existing lease, widely regarded as a dog, is scrapped and replaced by one that in-creases the councils return, decreases the lessees footprint, and precisely stipulates respon-sibilities.

    This all adds up to a huge win for the council, residents, beachgoers and tourists.

    Claude de Bernales loved ne cars, and built a garage and chau eurs quarters to match. One of his cars is shown outside the building before the mining entrepreneur converted it to the style of a Spanish villa.

    New life for Claudes old garageSome of the cash from the

    $8million sale of an old quarry in Cottesloe will be used to restore an old garage and stables now Cottesloe Civic Centres lesser hall.

    The well-used lesser hall is in a bad way, but an expensive fi x is on the way.

    Late last month, councillors voted to endorse spending $653,000 on the civic centres lesser hall, including $221,500 in the next fi nancial year.

    A report to councillors said the roof leaked, the fl oor was signifi cantly out of level, there were structural cracks in the walls, and the kitchen and female toilet layouts were

    clunky at best.The male and disabled

    toilets are accessed from the exterior of the building, the report said.

    The existing kitchen is of limited value for catering, and the current toilet arrangement does not work for regular users of the building.

    The entire fl oor structure will have to be removed and re-built, and the original fl oor-boards re-laid.

    The quarry, which the council has used for many decades as a truck depot, was sold to private developers last year, fi lled in and converted to a new housing subdivision.

    The hall was built for the last

    private owner of the civic cen-tre, Claude Albo de Bernales, who had a collection of cars, driven by chauffeurs who also lived in what is now the lesser hall building.

    The mining entrepreneur converted the building he had bought in 1911 to a Spanish-style villa and re-named it Overton Lodge.

    Councillors have been told that the heritage-listed lesser hall is a very high-use com-munity facility.

    Mayor Jo Dawkins said the fi x-up was well overdue.

    It is extremely highly-used by the Cottesloe community, she said.

    ABOVE: The entrance used by thousands of local people, including at all elections. BELOW: The back of the servant and chau eurs quar-

    Students speak out on violence

    Christopher Scholten shared a sobering statistic about vio-lence against women with his students.

    One in fi ve of your generation thinks a sex act online means consent to sex in real life, Mr Scholten told Presbyterian Ladies College students.

    The Peppermint Grove school held several events to mark the United Nations 16 Days of Activism aimed at ending violence against women.

    Girls voiced their concerns at a lunchtime speakers corner and completed signs that began No More ...

    Phrases like these need to be widely communicated, said Year 12 student Lucy Banks, after she wrote No More Ignorance.

    In our politics and law class we learnt one in three women is abused, either verbally, physi-cally or emotionally.

    Year 12 student Sasha Welch said women should be able to trust people they were with, instead of fearing them.

    If youre suffering domestic violence you should tell some-one, she said.

    You shouldnt be afraid to get help.

    As part of the UN campaign orange was used to symbolise a brighter future without vio-lence.

    Landmarks lit in the colour included Niagara Falls, the ruins at Petra in Jordan and the European Commission building in Belgium.

    Signs of the times Lucy Banks, left, and Sasha Welch want violence against women to stop.

    Shenton gave its bestShenton College students spent, saved

    and gave their way through the end of the school term.

    Sue Gilchrist, head of Shentons middle school, said staff and students had tried some-thing different last year.

    Often when kids are given pocket money these days, they are encouraged to spend some, save some and give some, she said.

    We decided to use that model to inspire our end-of-year activities.

    About 150 Year 9 students went to the Great Xscape for their spend activity, wrote a let-ter about themselves for their save activity and worked on charitable duties for their give activity.

    We mucked out stables at Claremont Therapeutic Riding Centre, cooked food at Annalakshmi on Swan, made Christmas cards with aged residents for their pen pals in Scotland, designed colouring booklets for PMH patients, baked cookies for our crosswalk attend-ants and created jungle-themed decorations for Rocky Bays Christmas party, Ms Gilchrist said.

    It was very fulfi lling for both students and staff, and thoroughly rewarding.

    She said students would do the same thing again this year.

    REPORT OF THE LAKE CLAREMONT PARKLAND RECREATION WORKING PARTY In 2010 the Town of Claremont Council adopted the Lake Claremont Concept Plan which was developed to effectively manage and maintain to Lake Claremont Precinct for broad community use.

    The Town, working in conjunction with Friends of Lake Claremont, have worked diligently to ensure the Lake environment is protected and the ecological sustainability of the precinct is secure. To support and enhance the work achieved, in May 2015 Council resolved to establish a Lake Claremont Parkland Recreation Working Party to consider the possible future uses of the parkland as a recreational resource for the community.

    The Town sought community feedback through a survey in June 2015 which identied a number of areas for improved recreational use within the precinct. The feedback from the survey was used to formulate the Report of the Lake Claremont Parkland Recreation Working Party, which is now being advertised for comment.
