FREMANTLE HERALD Fremantle’s own INDEPENDENT newspaper Volume 26 No 10 Saturday March 7, 2015 www.fremantleherald.com Letterboxed to Fremantle, Beaconsfield, East Fremantle, Hilton, North Fremantle, O’Connor, Samson, South Fremantle and White Gum Valley Sailing into history by EDDIE ALBRECHT FREO’S done it again and sailed away with yet more silverware. Fremantle Sailing Cub wunderkinds Alistair Young and Rome Featherstone were crowned state champions in the laser and optimist classes to add to their burgeoning trophy cabinet which includes the 2015 national titles. The optimist championships, held over the long-weekend, were sailed at the Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club in variable winds which brought out the best in the affable and popular sailor. In particular, the last race of the regatta was a masterly display by the 15-year-old from Hilton. Becoming almost becalmed at the start 41 Cliff Street, Fremantle Ph: 9430 7727 Fax 9430 7726 Email: [email protected] and finding himself in 25th place in the 44-strong fleet, the Steiner student managed to haul in everyone bar the lead boat by the last lap and then dispatched this boat at the top mark before crossing the line 10 metres in the clear. Over the 12 races, Rome scored an astonishing seven firsts, and will represent Australia in the world championships in Dziwnow, Poland this year. Year 12 Scotch College student Alistair Young, also left his rivals in his wake. Alistair recorded four firsts in the eight-race championships, with his worst result being a fourth place in the 26 strong fleet. Mark Spearman and Ben Walkemeyer took out the minor placings to give Fremantle Sailing Club a clean sweep in the lasers. Privatisation tip • Hilton sailor Rome Featherstone in championship action. Photo supplied | Amanda Wilson by STEVE GRANT THE southern suburbs’ controversial waste authority is set for a major shake-up as part of a Barnett government push towards privatisation. In anticipation the Southen Metropolitan Regional Council (SMRC) is already preparing to sell one of its recycling plants. Veteran Fremantle representative on the body, Cr Doug Thompson, says the government is keen for all assets to be offloaded. The SMRC deputy chair says looming new governance models will scrap regional councils and replace them with compulsory “waste groups”. Another option would be for councils to establish waste management business structures. Cr Thompson says whatever model is adopted the government wants the structures to be contracting agencies, not service • Doug Thompson providers, although they may still run garbage trucks and hand collected waste to the private sector. Cr Thompson isn’t sold on the idea the private sector can do the job more efficiently and worries that in pursuit of profit, contractors won’t have the drive for innovation that councils have shown. “My other concern is that one of the ideas that the minister has floated is that whatever structure these groups end up having, they would have external davidgilesartstudios.com.au expertise like a board of directors,” Cr Thompson says. “If the councils are the contractors it’s council money, so I would think that there should be elected members on the board.” SMRC chair Cameron Schuster, Melville’s representative on the body, is more comfortable with privatisation but says the debate is really about the structure of the industry. He says one problem facing the SMRC is its material recovery facility in Cannington doesn’t work to capacity, so it’s an economic drag. He believes current rules make it difficult for the SMRC to pick up that capacity, so it makes sense to hand it to private operators. Cr Schuster says councils can put strict conditions on their tenders to ensure private operators don’t cut corners with things like cheap landfill rather than recycling. If the state government does mandate council membership of new waste authorities, it will eliminate the bickering and withdrawals that have been a common problem for regional councils across Perth. Canning and Rockingham pulled out of the SMRC in 2009 while Stirling spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to extricate itself from the Mindarie Regional Council last year. In December, Cockburn CEO Stephen Cain told councillors behind closed doors they should consider exiting the SMRC too, saying the council was paying a significant premium for the SMRC’s inability to be competitive. Cockburn had been planning to use amalgamations as an excuse to dissolve the SMRC, but will now cool its heels and produce another report. It will look at a controversial move towards waste-to-energy incinerators, with environmental approvals already given for a facility to be built in Rockingham. Last month, Mr Cain warned councillors he’d had to rewrite a report that had been rushing the council towards waste-to-energy. “I strongly feel that this report is asking us to place ourselves in a position where we are, in effect, committing to write a blank cheque on behalf of our ratepayers and hand it over to a private operator, whose sole reason for existence is to make maximum profit,” his report read. Cr Schuster believes waste-to-energy is inevitable, but is a long way down the track before it’s viable. He says he’s aware of concerns the plants produce nanoparticles that are not regulated and whose health effects are little-known, but says he’s not qualified to comment on them. However, he’s confident regulatory bodies will make the appropriate recommendations to the government.

Councils at risk of rorting by STEPHEN POLLOCK A CORRUPTION report on local government has criticised Cockburn city council for not doing enough to address the risk of rorting. The Corruption and Crime Commission investigated procurement risks across WA’s local governments and found a “systemic weakness” that made councils vulnerable to rorting from employees, suppliers and contractors. The report was based on a procurement audit of five of the largest local government purchasers in WA, including Cockburn. WA local government minister Tony Simpson describes the report as a “wake-up call” and backs its recommendation the auditor-general’s powers be extended to cover WA’s 140 councils. “In the commission’s view the absence of risk assessments suggests that the cities had an increased level of exposure to misconduct risk and that, if misconduct occurred, there was an increased probability that it would go undetected,” the report stated. “In the commission’s view the lack of risk assessments for misconduct in procurement is a significant issue for the local government sector.” The CCC revealed “some” of the audited councils need to improve financial governance, including tendering procedures, how they deal with conflicts of interest and training. Cockburn mayor Logan Howlett says his council volunteered to take part and he welcomes the findings. “Since the report we have tightened up several of our procedures and employed a new staff member to help with this,” he says. “The report was a bit vague and should have identified what individual councils failed on what specific points, as I thought we came out of it really well. “But apart from that, we welcome its findings and have already implemented several of its recommendations.” Last month, premier Colin Barnett claimed most corruption in WA involved councils. Other councils audited were Joondalup, Perth, Swan and Wanneroo. Melville, which is about the same size as Cockburn, was not audited.

Yangebup locals organised the rally after growing sick of noisy riders damaging the park and surrounding verges and lawns (Herald, February 27, 2015). Rally organiser Graham— no surname thanks—says the meeting was a step in the right direction. “WA Police announced there would be a copper designated to our area who we could contact directly if we have anymore problems,” he says. “This will make things more organised and stop reports from being filed with different officers all over the place.

The new library is proposed for under the grassy knoll. Image supplied | City of Fremantle RosyGlowAU AU S T R A L I A N OW N E D ‘Sunken living room, not a dungeon’ Sullivan lauds library design by STEVE GRANT FREMANTLE’S proposed new library will be like a “spacious sunken living room” and not the dungeon it’s being made out to be, says advisory committee chair Andrew Sullivan. The veteran Fremantle councillor and architect—who was on the panel which selected Kerry Hill Architects’ designs for Kings Square—says people passing the new council building will get a view of the library “second-to-none”. He describes criticism to date as “unfair and ill-informed” (“Underground resistance to buried books,” Herald, February 28, 2015). “Yes, the library is proposed to be set at the lower ground floor level,” he concedes. “However, the double-height, light-filled space will have none of the characteristics of a basement, cellar or dungeon. “Indeed, it is more accurate to describe it as a fish bowl, if you must give it a name.” The design wraps around two fish ponds, which he says provide a perfect setting for contemplative reading. “Above the ponds, the fourstorey-high light wells channel soft reflected daylight to all of Defence for Kings? When the Herald put the rumour to Sirona Capital boss Matthew McNeilly he replied “I couldn’t comment on that”. He pointedly did not deny it. “But I could be just trying to mislead you,” he said, laughing, a few moments later. Mr McNeilly revealed Sirona, which owns the Myer building and is expecting to pick up Queensgate as part of a deal with the council, has given up trying to find an anchor retail tenant. He says the company’s now looking at trying to develop a “destination” that features a range of boutique stores: the idea’s generated interest in the past six months from companies Sirona’s approached overseas. Mr McNeilly says it’s a big project and concedes earlier expectations about a start date were unrealistic, but things are progressing. He says similar developments take up to a decade to reach fruition. Sirona is still hoping to secure the WA housing department as a tenant and mayor Brad Pettitt says a meeting with new minister Colin Holt went well a fortnight ago. He says the minister told the council a plan to move the department to the port city is still on the cards, despite Labor claiming it’s dead in the water. the library spaces. “While other libararies have to resort to tinted windows and sunscreening devices to keep out direct sun, ours will have clear glass in the floor-to-ceiling high windows. “These glass walls wrap around three sides of the library and the view in from the public realm will be second-to-none.” Cr Sullivan dismisses concerns the library’s collection will be at risk from flooding, noting the Louvre in Paris and Tasmania’s MONA gallery have below-ground storage. Council chief publicity officer Jason Cunningham says the new library will be almost twice the size of the existing facility. DEFENCE has emerged as a possible new tenant for Kings Square.

How many councillors would hold a directors job in private multi million dollar companies?, No qualifications ,no responsabilities. Easy Fix increase the rates. Or are councillors only the puppets of CEOs and mayors. What realy happens at large councils? Sam Hilliard Button St, Munster The Ed says: We’ve left this letter entirely unedited. Seems ironic that Sam is happy to bag the qualifications of councillors while submitting a letter littered with errors. Good grass ARTIFICIAL lawn. Much has been said about its advantages and disadvantages over recent weeks. I would not know why a council would disapprove of a resident having artificial lawn on their verge when it looks so nice. I am pleased I live in a suburb where our council not only approves of artificial grass being placed on the verge but has put it around the public areas of our local shopping precinct. It has been there a few years now and looks as good as the day it was put there. This was one of the reasons I decided to have it installed on our front lawn and narrow verge. On reticulated scheme water on a time clock, watering twice a week, we found it was impossible to have a nice lawn. It was also impossible to water the narrow verge without wasting water on the road. We are also doing our bit to conserve water. Frank Granger Melville Bch Rd, Applecross Colin’s to blame I TAKE this opportunity to extend my congratulations to the mayor of Cockburn, his councillors and all residents of our fair city who lifted their voices or wielded their pens (or both) to preserve the integrity of Cockburn and save it from the predations of its avaricious neighbours and the ill-founded policies of the Barnett government. Whilst premier Barnett accepts the responsibility (but not the blame) for this folly, there is no doubt lurking in the background a cabal of bureaucrats harbouring their own ambitions, who failed to provide their minister with frank and fearless advice on the abuse of the basic democratic processes of government that would have saved the government from this debacle. Treating the electorate with contempt and denying it due process comes with a price that could well be paid at the next elections. Sorry premier, not only the responsibility but the blame and the shame are all yours. The challenge for Cockburn is to continue to lead the way and demonstrate conclusively the third tier of government can provide its citizens and ratepayers with what state and federal government cannot or fail to provide-a truly democratic voice. It may even come to pass, in the fullness of time, that a Kwinana will seek political union with Cockburn; forced upon it not by an autocratic state government decree but by the will of its ratepayers who want to share the same benefits, facilities and quality of life enjoyed to those who have the privilege to live in Cockburn. Kevin Bovill Noble Way, Success The Ed says: This letter has been edited for legal reasons. Can’t see the city for the trees CAN you imagine not being able to see the Swan River from the grounds of Heathcote cultural precinct because the vegetation on the hillside has been allowed to grow so high as to block the magnificent view? Well, start thinking about it, because the environmental maintenance team at Melville city council has every intention of making that situation occur! That’s right, Melville will not be pruning back the native vegetation on the upper slopes of the Heathcote hillside to maintain a clear view of the river and, worse still, actually plans to revegetate it with additional native plants including over-storey, middle-storey and under-storey plants. I just can’t believe the council is prepared to allow the vegetation on the upper slopes on the river side to continue growing unchecked, and to exacerbate this by increased plantings, to the point the view of the river will be eventually blocked entirely. Such an outcome would be a manifest tragedy and gross mismanagement of the site—and I strongly suspect a breach of the original conditions and intentions under which the site was to be restored and developed! Whilst the hillside is part of the Heathcote nature reserve, and that reserve is a WAPC Bush Forever site, there are many precedents for “managing” vegetation in Bush Forever sites, even to the point of complete removal as was done to make way for Fiona Stanley Hospital. “Forever” has never meant that the bush must never be touched! It seems clear to me the people responsible for the design and management of the Heathcote cultural precinct (at least in regard to vegetation) are lacking in forethought and ideas.

S A L E! by STEVE GRANT A team of seven archaeologists including Fremantle father-andson team Charlie and Joe Dortch, are on the brink of submitting their findings to the journal Australian Archaeology next month. The elder Dortch says the discovery of stone tools lodged in bands of limestone allowed the group to date the earliest known human contact with the island using a technique called optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). While they’ve only been able to narrow that date to somewhere between 17,000 and 42,000 years, Dr Dortch says previous estimates based on circumstantial evidence have led to wild claims. Shell “middens” had even been the subject of a couple of PhDs, with claims they were evidence of Aboriginal occupation. That was debunked when it was discovered the debris had been left behind by Pacific gulls that no longer visited the island. No charcoal linked to humans has been found on Rotto, meaning radio-carbon dating isn’t possible. OSL measures radioactivity stored by grains of quartz as isotopes nearby decay after burial. Dr Dortch says they’ll be able to hone in even further as dating techniques improve. Intriguingly, a tiny fragment of emu eggshell found near one of the stone tools was dated as 28,000 years old by the University of Colorado. The shell is the only vertebrate fossil ever to be found on the island. Dr Dortch says despite being found near the stone tool, he can’t tell how it came to be on the island. “It was only about the size of a little fingernail, so I was very lucky to even find it,” he says. Prehistoric human contact with Rottnest would have to predate the island’s separation from the mainland around 10,000 years ago when sea levels rose, as Noongars did not use boats. Oral histories make reference to the separation of Rottnest, Garden and Carnac Islands, all of which are considered to have great spiritual significance. Dr Dortch says the findings will help Noongars overcome a perception held by some that the south-west was unoccupied, and strengthen their kinship with the land. Pibulmun elder Wayne Webb agrees: “What I thank Charlie for is showing non-Aboriginal people that, in the south-west, the Pibulmun/Wadandi lived and thrived, and helping dispel the myth that the real Aboriginal people live above the 26th parallel and those of us in the south-west do not exist.” Dr Dortch says just eight artefacts have been found on the island, but their research has identified other areas he says warrant a dig. One is a series of wetlands that once held fresh water, but have been saline since the Rottnest Island Authority churned them up while searching for road-building material in the 1960s and ‘70s. and Gourmet Takeaway Food T SUPP Great Summer Sausage • Needle in a haystack: The tiny figure of archaeologist Charlie Dortch against these cliffs show the task he faces unearthing ancient artefacts.

Organiser Deborah Ludlam says she’d been moved by stories of the pair’s rehabilitation at Bali’s Kerobokan prison where they’d been held since their arrest in April 2005. Ms Ludlam says the “vigil for ordinary people was part of the Mothers for Peace movement and was a chance for ordinary people to comfort each other” as many like her were devastated by the looming executions. Opposed to the death penalty, Ms Ludlam says the vigil was a chance for like-minded people to come together.

I’ve often heard Australia described as a Christian country, and the prime Minister espouse Christian values, I wish more Christian religious leaders would say that greed is bad; avoiding tax is a sin; tax breaks for well-off and rich people destroy the capacity of Australia to treat poor people fairly; a treaty is necessary to establish legitimacy for British occupation of Australia; demonising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people because of the results of more than 200 years of mistreatment is abhorrent; criminalising asylum seekers for political reasons is shameful; participating in a first-world economic system which ensures poor countries subsidise the lifestyle of rich countries is against Christian teaching; denying climate change is lunacy; politicians who promise one thing before elections and do another after elected do not have a mandate and should resign; and, politicians who use responses to extremism as a cloak to cover seeking the support of voters with racial and religious intolerance do not deserve to be in office; more often, and mean it. Andrew Turk Samson St, White Gum Valley My mum I WOULD like to correct Peter Burns and Bob Loftus regarding their comments about Marie Thorne (Herald letters, February 21, 2015). My mother Marie Thorne worked for years, all voluntary. They made the money and she is still poor. She has helped people, homeless people of all backgrounds and skin colour. letters She also has proof of her work and her accomplishments, a Centenary Medal from he Queen, a NAIDOC Award in 2014, awarded several times even by John Howard who was once our prime minister. She’s worked for the Fremantle city council for reconciliation, a volunteer worker for DOH as an advocate for people of all ages and cultures. Not even Mr Burns or Mr Loftus can deny that receiving that kind of recognition is a great accomplishment for a woman of 78 years, and an Australian Aboriginal Elder. Also, for you Mr Burns, my mother and Dr Pettitt have been colleagues for many years, friends who have worked together on many issues. My mother being evicted was no fault of her own: she’s 78 years old and a diabetic and no-one in their right mind should evict an elder and persons with severe medical problems and push them out on the street, black, white or brindle. It’s heartless and cruel. So I would suggest you mind your own business because you don’t know the full story, and save your comments. I feel they are judging my mother too harshly yet they don’t even know her. Go easy on the elderly and ill—don’t be so cold.

Khalin Driver Ommanney St, Hamilton Hill Like locusts A HOUSE in our street was demolished recently. Almost nothing was salvaged. A mature, well-shaped marri tree near the rear boundary, providing shade to a north-facing yard for 50 years, was pulled up by the roots and trucked to landfill with the rest. The stripped block was then offered for sale. In my nature I WAS moved to write in support of the proposed mountain bike trail at Manning Park as I couldn’t believe the prejudices expressed regarding “daredevil mountain bikers” (Herald letters, February 1 and 7, 2015). Far from a daredevil thrill seeker, I am a nearly 40-year-old mother who loves the environment. I get out onto mountain bike trails as often as I can, usually heading to the Kalamunda circuit, which requires quite a lot of babysitting, whereas if I could get out on a quick ride close to home I’d be fitter and wouldn’t need to drive for two hours (there and back) just to find a good a bush track! I’m also a keen bushwalker, rogainer Months ago another local house on a bigger block close to Canning Highway came down, a verge tree was removed, and the site cleared. A signboard announces 18 units will be built, with onsite bays for 32 cars. No mention is made of the proximity to public transport. Urban infill is touted by planners as the solution to accommodate laissez-faire population growth and slow the sprawl of Perth into remaining bushland. Housing densities are money-driven by developers and councils eager to expand their ratepayer base. Such pressure, along with the desire for ever larger dwellings means the clearfelling of local neighbourhoods is likely to continue, along with constant bulldozing and scarring of the built environment. Realistic and responsible thought, commitment and action by residents, developers and planners regarding building densities and types, traffic management, provision for droughttolerant, canopy-producing trees in urban design schemes, etc, is desperately needed. Otherwise the utopian “artists impressions” of building developments and liveable communities featuring images of trees, pedestrians and cyclists will remain only impressions in cyberspace; wishful fantasies in car-mad, more-is-better, arborophobic Perth.

The cool air smells fresh and clean, and a chorus of frogs provides a cheerful early morning soundtrack to foraging wading birds. As the sun peers over the eastern cliff top, the first morning rays break the mist and cast a pink glow over the water. A family of ducks floats past, gently disturbing the reflections of the clouds above. A lone woman performs yoga at the end of the boardwalk, lost in the reverie of her surroundings and her solitude. Wetlands and green expanses, winding pathways, native bushland…and amongst it all a stillness, a tranquillity, that defies where you are. So—where exactly are you? You’re in Booyeembara Park, in the heart of Fremantle’s hustle and bustle. This magnificent space has not always been such an idyllic oasis, however. It had its origins as a meeting and gathering space for local Nyoongar people (the name Booyeembara is a Nyoongar name for the limestone coastal land). In more recent times it was used as a limestone quarry, before being abandoned and becoming a dumping ground for Fremantle’s rubble—which was to become a lasting and problematic legacy. It was in the 1990s that the local community saw potential in the deserted space, and after many workshops and intensive community consultation, the council adopted the Booyeembara Park Master Plan in 1999. It was a grand and exciting plan, embracing and demonstrating reconciliation, community and sustainability. A taskforce consisting of city officers, local councillors, community representatives and local elders was set up to oversee the implementation of the master plan, in consultation with Ecoscape environmental consultants and landscape architects. Enthusiastic locals joined the Friends of Boo Park group, and thus the community took ownership of the park, thinking allowed Designer Cabinetry by Philippe Signer Designer Cabinetry 0468 608 512 by Philippe Signer 0468 608 512 Back to Boo Kitchens, Bathrooms etc. Kitchens, etc in Zero EmissionBathrooms and Low VOC in Zero Emission and Low VOC INGRID WALTHAM chairs the Booyeembara Park Working Group. Involved with the development of Boo Park since the first community consultations in the 1990s, the east ward councillor has watched it transform from an abandoned tip-site to an award-winning place of natural beauty. After a few tough years at the park, she reckons it’s time for people to rediscover the beauty of Boo Park at the Ngala Maya community festival on March 15. throwing itself into action—hundreds and hundreds of person-hours planting, watering, weeding, mulching and hauling endless limestone blocks in the creation of the amphitheatre. Close to 100,000 individual plants and trees indigenous to the area were planted, including tuarts, balgas, Fremantle mallee, marri and jarrah. Hectares more were seeded. Native fish, several species of frogs, ducks, and an entire cast of waterbirds and birds call this place home, indicating a healthy ecosystem. A billabong at the foot of the cliff was part of the original master plan, along with the olive grove, playgrounds, a garden narrative and community food gardens. Reconciliation was an integral element of the park’s master plan, and a storytelling circle and limestone circle depicting the Wagyl and the six Nyoongar seasons were early highlights. The opening of the park in 2000—planned by respected Elder Marie Thorne, who also named the park—included a ceremony telling ancestors that people were to be returning to the site. Another ceremony was held a week before the Sydney Olympics that linked the spirit of the Olympics with peace and reconciliation, and featured dance, storytelling around the fire, and a flame brought from the Nyoongar nation. A decade of hard work by an incredibly dedicated group of people followed. Unfortunately, following the discovery of asbestos and other contaminants in the park (a legacy of the extensive dumping in the ’60s and ’70s)—progress halted, and for several frustrating years the majority of the park’s budget was directed at intensive site testing and investigations. The testing is now over, and a comprehensive site management plan is in place to take the park forward. Budget funds can now be reallocated to those elements that the community wants, including, ultimately, the completion of the long-awaited amphitheatre and storytelling circle. It is also timely to take a fresh look at the original master plan of 1999, and reassess the future direction of the park. And this is where we need you! When did you last visit? There is so much more to Boo Park than just being a beautiful green space. This is Freo’s King’s Park—a large regional green space, a national award-winner, a groundbreaker in sustainability, recycling and revegetation. A park with a proud indigenous history, and a remarkable community story. We’ve had some tough years, but now it’s time for our park to start to heal. It’s time to welcome everybody back to Ngala Maya—our place—so we’re celebrating coming “back to Boo” with a community festival on Sunday March 15. It’s the perfect opportunity to rediscover the park; to learn more about its fascinating story and have a say in how you think it might be improved.

File 2011 COCKBURN sustainability guru Chris Ferreira says he’s made it through summer without an airconditioner and has cash in his pocket after slashing his water bills by 40 per cent. The director of The Forever Project has adapted his 1950s asbestos cottage in Hamilton Hill to the point he hasn’t had a power bill in four years. “Fifty per cent of power bills are used to keep a house cool or warm,” he says. “So I wanted to show people it wasn’t hard to slash power bills and still have a comfortable home.” As well as tripleinsulating his walls he installed double glazing, insulated the roof and the floors, put in a greywater recycling system and gutted the kitchen. Outside, he beefed up his soils to prevent water loss and dug up most of the lawn. Mr Ferreira is opening his house today, Saturday March 7 from 10am–4pm to show how he achieved its turnaround. Gold coin donations will go to Winterfold primary’s P&C. The house is at 11 Mortlock Street, in the midst of Bakers Square’s creative hub. Adventure or cruise? ...it’s up to you. NORTH FREMANTLE’S Ben Lane says a council decision that robs his garden of direct sunlight should send a shiver up the spine of all homeowners. He was gobsmacked when councillors on the planning committee ignored staff and approved a new two-storey house next door that includes a 21.25m wall along his northern boundary. That’s almost 17m longer than the R-Codes allow, and the wall is also 4m higher than allowed. Staff advised councillors the wall would “restrict the access of sunlight to established vegetation”, but added this aspect of the design could be supported given there’s already a shady tree in Mr Lane’s yard. An approved ancillary dwelling at the back of Mr Lane’s property will also fall under the wall’s shade, which he says will slash what he can charge in rent. What’s galled him most is his entreaties to the council were ignored but concerns about proposed double garages by a councillor who lives across the road set off major discussions Cr Doug Thompson declared his interest—preventing him from voting on the issue—but he still lobbied his colleagues, emailing whether it was “possible to limit the garage to single rather than double”. His colleagues discussed that idea at length, with Crs Ingrid Waltham, Robert Fittock, Sam Wainwright and Andrew Sullivan all chipping in. “I like this idea but can we defend it?” mayor Brad Pettitt inquired of thenplanning director Philip St John. In the end the council voted to set back the double garages and insist the homeowners plant a street tree. • Ben Lane is angry he’s losing his sunlight. Photo by Steve Grant “They spent all this time debating the double garages, but not once did any of them raise the fact that our amenity will be severely affected by this wall,” Mr Lane fumed. He says he was subjected to a similar stony silence when fronting the full council later. His complaint to WA planning minister John Day hit a brick wall too, with Mr Lane informed the council had followed the guidelines. Without third-party appeals in place in WA, Mr Lane’s left facing a huge wall or a costly High Court challenge. Youth Explorer Voyages Are your ready for an adventure?

Youth push for JPs by EDDIE ALBRECHT CALLING all Justices of the Peace— your services are in great demand. So great in fact that flyers are being left around retirement villages to entice former JPs back into service. Veteran JP John Alberti (right) has put out the call as the port city’s JPs are approaching the age where they can’t perform many functions. “There are 3000 JPs in WA but unfortunately many are over 75 ... I’m the youngest [in Fremantle] at 66,” the former Fremantle councillor says. “Once we turn 70 we can’t sign search warrants for the police, customs or fisheries ... then after 75 can’t sit in court for cases involving restraining orders and traffic cases. “We can do stat decs, affidavits and certified copies and that’s about it. “We’re calling for JPs who have for whatever reason dropped off the radar to come and have a chat and renew their association. “The biggest problem is that MPs, who need to nominate an applicant, say we have too many JPs but they don’t realise many are over the age limit ... they’re still on the register but can’t really perform many of the functions.” He says the unpaid commitment entails more than just signing documents and warrants, though the days of an exciting knock on the door in the wee small hours from “coppers seeking a search warrant” are long gone as station Parke talks for peace WITH prime minister Tony Abbott committing about 300 Australian troops to a return to Iraq in September, Fremantle Labor MP Melissa Parke (pictured, right) will tomorrow (Sunday March 8) offer a differing view on how to bring peace to the strife-torn country. Speaking at a discussion organised by the Medical Association for the Prevention of War at the Fremantle town hall at 2pm, Ms Parke will argue the PM’s decision to help train the Iraqi army is misguided. Her view is not shared by Labor leader Bill Shorten, who backs the government’s move. “Yesterday’s ally-byproxy often becomes tomorrow’s enemy, and all those so-called solutions that have involved arming one group to balance the violence of another inevitably prolong the violence and inevitably see the weapons turned against those who supplied them in the first place,” says Ms Parke, who was formerly a human rights lawyer with the UN. Also speaking at the event will be Carolyn Holbrook, a historian at Monash University who has questioned the Aussie myth the nation was “born” as its troops landed and died on the shores of Gallipoli in 1915. officers-in-charge now do the paperwork. “People don’t realise we’re volunteers ... and unfortunately we have been unable to open the office at some times,” he laments. “We have 10 JPs at Fremantle from which we man the service at Cockburn Library for two-and-a-half days, the Citizens Advice Bureau in Garden City and at Fremantle where we are scheduled to man the office five days a week from 9.30 to 4. “We haven’t been able to man the Fremantle office on Friday afternoons for some time.” Mr Alberti is specifically asking for qualified JPs to come forward, not people willing to become JPs. “To become a JP you need to be nominated by a state member of parliament, their application approved by the Attorney-General and then complete a course (usually 10 weeks) at Central TAFE,” he says. “Once you pass the course the governor swears you in.” Small shacks COCKBURN council has moved to close a loophole that could have allowed McShacks to blight the Naval Base holiday park. During a recent review of the heritagelisted site’s planning rules, the council discovered that wording governing the size of shacks was ambiguous and could have allowed owners to upsize when modifying their protected shacks. Now they’ll be restricted to a building footprint of 27.04sqm, with a 1.8m open verandah on one side, which the council says is consistent with the site’s humble origins. Naval Base is one of the last remaining coastal shack communities and the only one with some security for residents. Owners had been ordered to tear their shacks down in 2012 but a community backlash earned them a reprieve and a five-year lease.

And her dutiful daughter was only to happy to comply. Kava Cafe in Bicton has been a favourite for a couple of years now, ever since mum moved into the nursing home next door. It changed hands around Christmas, and I’m happy to report it’s even better. For a couple of weeks one of the specials has been spaghetti marinara ($27). The first I’d eaten on my own, struggling valiantly with the massive serve, determined not to let a morsel escape. The second time I shared it and was still rather full. Loaded with mussels, prawns, squid and chunks of fish it was fantastic, and so rich I could have banked it. On that occasion mum had the hash benedict ($20) with smoked salmon and egg hollandaise. As a fan of hash browns I was expecting the usual crumb-coated square, but these magnificent house-made potato and onion cakes were like nothing I’ve ever tasted before. I can also report the prawn linguine ($16.50) is great, a deliciously oily mix of garlic, with fresh parsley, basil and chilli—and plenty of tender prawns. Service at Kava is as fantastic as the food, always friendly and efficient. These guys really go the extra mile, and when mum and I share we get two proper half-serves, not just one and an empty plate. When my step-dad had wanted steak, rather than a steak sandwich ($23.50) the only question was “250-gram or 300”. It was perfectly medium-rare, pink, juicy and tender. We’ve tried a couple of the cakes over the weeks and while the pear tart was good, the carrot cake ($7.50) was fantastic, moist and delicious. “The best I’ve ever eaten,” my chef mother-in-law, a dab hand at cake-making, declared. Kava’s coffee, usually made by the lovely Bec, is unfailingly good, and I tried the trendy cold-filtered version recently. Drip-filtered over 12 hours it’s naturally sweeter due to a lower acidity and shouldn’t be confused with iced coffee, which is hot brewed then chilled. There’s a couple of ways to drink it and I went with the sparkling espresso ($4), which is mixed with sparkling mineral water—and was wonderfully refreshing on a hot day.

Male calves born as an inevitable byproduct of the dairy industry are killed within days for veal or their soft hides, while lambs are slaughtered around 4–6 weeks, she says. “The sanitised cruelty in the meat industry is too hidden from us,” Wulff says.

She’s cock-a-hoop at getting the renowned Icelandic artist’s work down under. “He is such a significant and influential contemporary artist.” Kjartansson’s work will take over all the FAC’s galleries with a collection of watercolours and video installations. “You find yourself moving in and out of different space and art work. It’s a journey that allows the audience to take in the works without being overwhelmed,” she says. Like many of his works, The End focuses on the persona of the performers, and utilises a typically Icelandic style of storytelling. Kjartansson leads audiences on a rambling yet highly choreographed journey, echoing elaborate myths and sagas. “There is a bit of humour in it as well,” Moore says. In Fremantle for the launch a couple of weeks ago, the humour of the exhibition wasn’t lost on Kjartansson: “From snow-laden Canada and minus degrees, and we are sitting in the hot sun, Ragnar enjoyed that.” Running in conjunction, Kjartansson’s The Visitors will be on show at the John Curtin Gallery, in Bentley. The End is on at FAC until April 6, and The Visitors until April 2.

This fantastic subterranean space is now a bedroom, with rendered limestone walls and rocky outcrops and a bank of windows at ground level for natural light. The kid in me fell in love with this adventurous space, where even the wardrobes are cut into the rock. Actually I’d fallen in love with the home at the wonderfully red front door, with its quirky brass fox knocker. The original old shop, with french doors onto the verandah is now a bedroom, with a great mezzanine/loft sleeping area, and a spacious play-study area below. With its own access it would also make a great home office. Oregon pine flows like honey as you step inside and walls were clearly ripped out at some point to create an open space that stretches from the front door to the rear deck. There are two lounge/ sitting area, one with an original fireplace to snuggle up in front of in the coming winter weeks.

With the onset of the Global Financial Crisis, the Rudd government doubled the $7000 grant for established housing and to cushion the GFC blow to the building industry, first time buyers purchasing land and building got a not insignificant $21,000. The state government then added to the assistance package by removing the duty payable upon buying properties under $500,000, a saving of $19,665. Concessions for duty payable continue until you pay more than $600,000 for your first home whereupon the duty concessions necessarily cease. These thresholds were changed last State budget to $430,000 & $530,000. Is this money well spent? All this for $1500 FREMANTLE FREMANTLE the CBD. 18 Stevens Street, Fremantle from $1.175 million Denise Muir 0419 932 302 Mark Brophy Real Estate 9335 9800 .com A first home buyer is currently gifted $29,190 by the tax payer if buying land and building at $430,000 and $22,190 if buying established housing. Is this money well spent? Certainly, it has helped prop up faltering property markets in dark economic times but it has also helped to artificially inflate property values particularly evident during the Rudd government’s GFC splurges. When these $14,000 & $21,000 hand-outs ended in December 2009, market values stalled and sales volumes fell. More recent changes grant $10,000 to first time buyers that build new homes and $3,000 is gifted to those buying established homes. It is fair to question the prudence of a fiscal policy that artificially stimulates any market sector as once a hand-out is in place, it is very difficult to not adversely affect ACTON APPLECROSS PH: (08) 9316 8088 WWW.ACTON.COM.AU THE FACE OF EXPERIENCE PAULINE STELLAMANS Call today for a professional appraisal on 0421 214 145 or 9417 4080 By HAYDEN GROVES REIWA Deputy President REIA Deputy President Want more property info? Email me [email protected] for your free REIWA Suburb Report a market upon their removal let alone the political bravery requisite in doing so. However, these grants and concessions have afforded young folk the same dreams and ambitions older Australians have enjoyed when housing affordability was not considered a problematic social issue. In 1995 I bought my first house for $92,000 with a yearly salary of $26,000. Stamp Duty was paid and there were no grants to be had. That humble house is now worth about $460,000 and the equivalent job pays about $70,000. The house price has more than quadrupled yet the wage has a smidge more than doubled with the ratio of value to earnings moving from 3.5:1 to 6:1 in this example. As sales volumes continue to trend downwards, governments can no longer afford to rely so heavily on duties as such a significant source of revenue nor can they chase up the market with higher and higher first home buyer concessions. It is a complex matter and it is probably prudent to provide assistance to first time buyers but I am not entirely convinced that concessions and grants provide a long term fix.

PLEASE RESPECT OUR ADVERTISERS IN YOUR RESPONSES Page 26 - The Herald, Saturday March 7, 2015 fcns Astrology strology A Herald With Sudhir March 7 - March 14, 2015 ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20) The love planets, Venus and Mars, are bang smack in front of Uranus, the planet of rebellion and quick as lightning change. Cupid, Eros and Aphrodite, are bound to play a wildly surprising hand. When change comes, greet it as a dynamic and creative friend. It is not out to get you. TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20) The slow drift of the Pisces Sun, holds you in check while the rest of the universe fires up with all sorts of adventurousness. Hold the calm space that exists at the centre of your heart as sacred. Even though much is going on around you, you have all the resources required to respond. GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) This is a good time to have a curious, left of field, take on things. The world at large is certainly out of kilter. To hook into the frenzy, spin and drama, is a sure fire way to lose one’s centre and become part of a not necessarily wise crowd. Be wary of anything impulsive and reactive. CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22) The Moon has just begun to wane. It will begin the week doing it’s bit for balance, in a world that is more interested in reactivity and blind expression, than reflection and care. Know where to place your flag. If you are true to nature, you will place it right next to your lounge chair. LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22) Life is shaking the tree. Your roots will strengthen, though some of your fruit might fall off. You are being challenged and tested. Any friction you feel, is essentially creative, though it might take a bit of a stretch to feel it as such. Watch for interpretations that are unrealistically dodgy. VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22) Relationships are interesting for sure. One minute they are as volatile as kerosene. The next they are as calm and full of compassion as natures grace. There is no course other than to ride the waves and negotiate the flames. Neither passion nor stillness, are to be rejected or ignored. LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23) This is a good time for dreaming, for contemplating the future. With three planets in Aries, there is plenty of heat coming your way. By seeking to take the middle way, you may drive those who would rather you take a position, to distraction. Coolness is your way. Be true to your colours. SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21) Life is intense. There is a lot of hotheadedness around. There’s also lots of dreamy fantasy and idealism. There’s not a lot of groundedness and earth. You are the astrological master of mixing fire and water. Share your learned experience of emotionally driven action, with others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21) The pursuit of truth is a noble passion. The moment a person’s idea of truth becomes rigid, then the problems begin. With Saturn, who is prone to calcification, in Sagittarius, this could become a collective issue. Get a handle on it. Prevent your philosophy from ossifying - at all costs. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) There’s very little pragmatism or groundedness around. It could be up to you to provide the missing ingredient. People are either hot-headed and reactive, or floating around in a dreaminess, that is beautiful but not at all real. Neither lotus-eating nor battle mentality are functional. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18) Mercury is remaining steadfastly in Aquarius, for the longest time. This is just as well, because insight is needed now, more than ever. Neither anger nor apathy are working. If there’s a vision around that could be helpful, now’s a good time to bring it out of the woodwork. Speak up. PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20) The Sun is holding to the special qualities that reside in Pisces. Intuition is guiding your movements. Some would like you to move faster. Others would like you to slow down. Go according to your inner feel, your nature. Let others’ opinions wash over you, like water. © M.J.Dean 2015 Sudhir herald competitions Quick Wins!

FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL VOU WIN 1 OF 10 DOUBLE PASSES A CUT ABOVE THE REST In days gone by, a visit to the barber shop was an essential part of a man’s weekly routine. Much more than a place to get a haircut, a barber shop offered men the chance to relax and socialise, while getting an expert cut and shave. Barbering is enjoying a renaissance, as men rediscover the appeal of a visit to the barber shop. South Freo’s De Barber is a popular destination for guys from all age groups and backgrounds (not just young hipsters) who are seeking more of a traditional style barber shop experience with all the conveniences of the modern era. Open for almost a year, manager Nicole Albersdoerfer is rapt with the way customers have taken to the De Barber concept: “We are a classic style men’s barber, offering high quality services at reasonable prices. The friendly team of experienced and skilled stylists are here to help you look your best. Our services include expert cutting, shampoo and scalp massage, hot towel shave, grooming advice and men’s facial mask. Everyone has a different type of hair and face shape so we work to provide an individual style to suit, rather than just the latest or most popular style.” De Barber is the kind of place where guests are encouraged to feel at home and NEW EDITION make full use of the lounge area, complete with comfy couches, large LCD screen and the latest newspapers and magazines. The decor is classic gentlemen’s club style warm tones and lots of rich timber. No stark minimalism here! “We provide a selection of complimentary coffee and boutique beers and there’s even a retro arcade game to while away the time. We have a group of guys that come on a regular basis to hang out, shoot the breeze with a beer or two and get a great haircut in the process,” said Senior Stylist Amba. De Barber stocks an excellent range of hair and skin products, designed specially for men, including Baxter of California, Alterna, E Shave and Dermalogica. The 26th annual Alliance Française French Film Festival returns to Luna Palace Cinemas 19 March - 7 April, 2015 with a mouth-watering selection of Gallic fare, including a tantalising lineup of features and documentaries and a smattering of special events. The 2015 Alliance Française French Film Festival comes to Perth from 19 March - 7 April at Cinema Paradiso, Windsor Cinema and Luna on SX.
