WAFC have commissioned Prue Griffin,
from Hocking Heritage Studio in Shenton
Park, to document the oval’s history.
Australian Rules has been played on the
site since 1898. Over the years the stadium
has been used for other major sporting
events and concerts.
“There is no question that Subiaco oval
is one of our state’s valued icons,” Subiaco
mayor Heather Henderson said.
“With the future of Subiaco oval under
question with football moving to the new
stadium, it is important that the significance
of the place is not lost or forgotten, but
rather incorporated and interpreted in a
variety of forms.”
WAFC director of facilities and planning
Geoff Glass said it was possible to transplant some of the oval’s character to the
new stadium.
“One of the great challenges in establishing a new venue is to give it soul, and
experience shows that this is best achieved
by incorporating heritage in its various
forms,” he said.
“The aim would be not to turn away from
Subiaco oval, but rather to bring Subiaco
into the new Perth stadium.”

Mr Pringle will lead a team
of local Chinese staff who will
seek new investors and look
after existing ones.
Pindan Capital was one of a
number of Perth firms that went
to China last year and took part
in information seminars about
Australia’s Significant Investor
Visa (SIV) program.
Osborne Park-based immigration and recruitment company
ISA Group also to part in the
seminars.
Pindan Capital was also a sponsor of the Australia-China Trade
and Investment conference in
Beijing last November.
In a message to the Beijing
conference, Premier Colin
Barnett said Chinese investors
had helped to drive the expansion of the resources industry in
WA since the 1990s and that in
2012-13 bilateral trade between
WA and China was worth more
than $70billion.
Last month the federal government launched a consultation paper seeking views on
Sibling saga of killing,
insanity and inheritance
between him and his two
brothers for about $200,000
each.
Paul Ellis subsequently
disputed the way the estate
had been handled and demanded proof of bills paid,
including for gas, electricity
and rates.
Paul also said his mother’s
wedding and engagement
rings were not included in
a package of jewellery his
daughter, Jessica, had been
bequeathed.
Spencer told the court
when he and Clive’s wife
cleared the Strickland Street
house he found the rings,
a necklace and earrings in
an envelope marked in his
mother’s handwriting: “This
is for Ilana with love”.
Justice Heenan said: “This
did not cause undue surprise
because Spencer’s daughter,
Ilana, was born after Mrs
Ellis made her last will.
“Accordingly, as explained
by Mr Ellis, the two brothers
discussed what should be
done with the jewellery in
the envelope and Mr Clive
Ellis was of the opinion that
Spencer should keep it and
give it to his daughter, Ilana,
in due course.
“Mr Clive Ellis explained
that he would telephone the
relatives in New Zealand who
were looking after Jessica to
explain to them what had
happened and that they and
Jessica agreed that Spencer
Ellis should get the rings
and jewellery for his daughter, Ilana, and that Jessica
should receive all the other
jewellery.”
Paul Ellis told the court
the jewellery his daughter
received was largely costume
jewellery.
Justice Heenan ruled Paul
Ellis did not have the right
to object to the distribution
of the jewellery.
He is estranged from his
daughter, who lives with
her grandparents in New
Zealand.

Bargain prices as bait are

can check all the documents.

Cambridge has been working on amendments to
allow some blocks in City
Beach and Floreat to have
duplexes and triplexes built
on them, which opponents
say goes against the spirit of
the Cambridge Endowment
Lands Act 1920.
They say amendment 31
will dramatically increase
density allowing:
• 1040 lots in City Beach
and 783 lots in Floreat to be
eligible for “manor house”
(apartment block) developments; and
• 303 corner lots in City
Beach and 304 corner lots
in Floreat to be duplexed
or triplexed.
A group has formed to protect City Beach and Floreat
and asks people to assemble
at Beecroft Park, City Beach,
on March 29 at 10.30am for
a community meeting and
petition.
They point to results of
a Catalyse survey commissioned by the council on maisonettes, showing a majority

of the objections were
dropped during the case
and others were complex
questions of law.
“The nature of the issues
which have arisen from the
objections filed in relation to
these claims for expenditure
give rise, in my opinion, to
issues of law and fact of a
magnitude and complexity
which render it undesirable
and inappropriate that
they be resolved simply
in the process of passing
accounts.”
He said Paul Ellis could
apply to another court to
have his queries about things
like money spent on repairs

The government said it was

“We have been unable to
negotiate a cheaper rent,” Mr
Millard said.
“A garden centre can’t sustain that.
“Our prices are coming down

“We would like to remain in
Subiaco and will continue to

A new City Farmers outlet will
occupy the former Waldecks
shop.
Matthew Toohey, general
manager property at Green
Cross Ltd, which owns several
pet and vet companies, including City Farmers and Pet Barn,
confirmed it would be moving
into Subiaco.
“We will be taking possession
at the end of March and expect
fit-out to take between four
and six weeks, with opening
expected in early to mid-May,”
Mr Toohey said.
“We’ve been looking for a store
in Subiaco for some time.
“This opportunity presented
itself to us a couple of months
ago.”
Mr Toohey said the firm had
signed a long lease for the site.
Clearway ‘would hurt traders’

or jeopardising local business.
“We are concerned because
a lot of that traffic flow will stop
outside our shop and come in
if there is a parking bay right
there,” she said.
“If there isn’t, they will move
on, which is not very good for
our business.”
Her business partner,
Jessica Tiwade, said the afternoon trade was vital to their
business.
“It works out to about 28%
of our daily trading time,” she
said.
South ward councillor Jenna
Ledgerwood asked Ms Tiwade
whether the current two-hour
restriction should be cut to one
hour to allow more customers
to park.
“I think given the nature of
shopping and with us females
liking to browse, you might
spend 45 minutes in a shop,”
she said.
“So an hour is difficult
because of the pressure you

might feel to avoid a fine.”
Brett Nottle, one of the owners of Sampson’s Paddock, suggested drivers could use other
streets to get on to Stirling
Highway.
“Or if they are having a problem with the delay they could
drop in and have a beer at
Sampson’s Paddock,” he said.
North ward councillor
Zenda Johnson, who originally
proposed a half-hour clearway, said she was shocked
when she saw the staff recommendation for a two-hour
parking ban.
But Ms Ledgerwood said
a half-hour clearway would
only confuse drivers because
every other clearway was two
hours.
The committee voted to recommend not changing the current parking restrictions and
to review them three months
after the changes to the intersection were completed.
The council will vote on the
recommendation on March
24.
