Venue use questioned
For a number of years, local resident, Heidi Clayton, has been provided local dog owners affordable dog education lessons at Wilkie Park in Yanchep. The one hour Saturday morning lesson and social gathering is the only service available north of Clarkson. For the remaining six and half days a week, Wilkie Park, a pocket park owned and maintained by the City of Wanneroo (CoW) remains relevantly vacant and not used. Earlier this month, a City of Wanneroo officer contacted Ms Clayton informing her that she needed to make ‘bookings and pay to use the park’. The email quotes a $60 per hour fee or $202 per four hours. Ms Clayton was also told: “If you can provide any documentation from your accountant or the ATO that can prove that your business is not for profit and you are barely covering costs, we are more than happy to asses this to potentially charge you.” The ‘Community Rate’ is $25 per hour or $82 for four hours. “This is the lowest costs we have so we would not be able to drop them any further unfortunately.” The email concluded: “You can
apply for a Donation or Waiver of Fees through our Governance team by completing one of their forms on the website. “It would be a great idea to document everything you spoke to me about how the community really needs it and there is a real dog issue up there and other classes are too far away. “Should this fail I would contact the local councillors, Norman Hewer or Linda Aitken for your area and chat to them. Failing that, I would contact the Mayor’s office.” Ms Clayton said: “I initially received a phone call from CoW making me aware that it is a requirement to hire the reserve at a rate of $60 per hour. “The dog training group classes have evolved over the years from a social training group with basic obedience to a more structured or formalised program. “We help owners understand their dog and what their behavioural needs are.” Ms Clayton told the Sun City News, if they had to increase the nominal fee to cover the massive council fees the classes would probably end. Courtney Furness, one of the attendees at the Saturday lessons
told the Sun City News: “We have had Buffy, a Border Collie, since she was born. She has been attending classes since she was 12 weeks old and I am now proud to say that she is a well socialised and trained pooch. “We can take her pretty much anywhere and not worry about her having problems with other dogs or people. Her recall is amazing. Compared to her siblings, she is miles ahead. A very happy, obedient and friendly pet; all thanks to Heidi’s training.” Local dog owners at the park, last Saturday, praised Heidi and her effective, affordable local dog classes.
BUS PROBLEM
On investigation, the Sun City News has discovered that a few weeks ago there was an incident between a TransPerth bus driver and some members of the dog group. Without notice, the parking layby, once the home of the mobile library bus, has been approved as a ‘bus layover’ and isn’t a problem for six and a half days a week. But on Saturday mornings, people attending the dog classes park their cars along Walker Street including the layover - There are no signs stating ‘no parking’.
Recently there was a bit of a confrontation between a bus driver and a couple of people attending the dog training session. The Sun City News understands the bus driver threatened to ‘get them’. The City of Wanneroo told the Sun City News: “In November 2014, the Public Transport Authority (PTA), approached the City to discuss the relocation of route 491 from its original terminus location on Wilkie Avenue, north of Grey Court to Walker Street for safety and traffic management reasons. “The stop is a terminus for route 491 which results in buses stopping at the location for extended periods of time.” When the City of Wanneroo was asked if vehicles could park in the layover - The City said: “You would have to contact the PTA for more information. The Road Traffic Code states: ‘Stopping at or near a bus stop - A driver shall not stop a vehicle so that any portion of the vehicle is within 20 metres of the approach side of a bus stop, or within 10 metres of the departure side of a bus stop.’ The PTA sign at Wilkie Park doesn’t call the location a ‘bus stop’, it is clearly labelled ‘bus
layover’ and does not indicate any parking restrictions. Many of the people who take their dogs to Wilkie Park on Saturday mornings believe the bus driver may be behind the City of Wanneroo’s taking action against their dog lessons.

No excuse for doggie dos Failing to pick up after your dog can result in a $100 fine as per the Animals Local Law.
While the City of Wanneroo is being proactive installing dog poo bag dispensers at 32 parks over the coming months in response to community requests for the facilities, there are still some irresponsible dog owners who do not pick up their doggie dos.
Dispensers and bags have previously been provided and stocked at Yanchep and Two Rocks dog beaches. Dispensers will be installed throughout the year and requests for dispensers at other parks will be reviewed monthly.
A local lady went for a walk at Two Rocks beach to be greeted by this repulsive sight.
Only two parks in Yanchep and Two Rocks have dog poo bags available - Oldham Reserve (Yanchep) and Charnwood Park (Two Rocks).
The annoyed resident said: “I went for a walk on the beach at Two Rocks and this sight greeted me. “I can’t believe that the owner of the dog was too lazy to pick this up when the poo bags are just there and the bin is just a few metres away!” City of Wanneroo waste operations commenced rolling out the dispensers in July after council adopted an amendment to the waste management services policy to include dog poo bins and bags at public open spaces as well as dog beaches. Mayor Tracey Roberts said the dispensers would be placed near existing bins at parks where administration had identified a need for the facility and deemed a priority based on proximity to schools and use by sporting groups. “The City is committed to maintaining clean, healthy parks and always encourages
There are several parks in Yanchep and Two Rocks that should be included in the dog poo program, including St Andrews park and Kalbarri Park in Yanchep.
Rangers need to be proactive dog owners to pick up after their four-legged friends,” she said. “We still encourage owners to bring their own bags as we all know dogs don’t always choose the most convenient times to do their business and will often go on pathways and verges where there are no bags.” Residents should also note there are almost 1000 bins in 230 parks and any of these can be used to dispose of used dog poo bags.
With the City of Wanneroo introducing more dog poo bags into more parks, and their recent roadside signage alerting the community to illegal dumping, it is hoped the officers responsible for enforcing these regulations will be ‘out and about’ pro-actively enforcing these regulations to those few irresponsible offenders. Let’s follow the progress of their pro-activeness - Sun City News welcomes photos of rangers doing local patrols.

Heritage vandalism The daily unit operational occurrence reports did not record any actual tracking of enemy aircraft although the unit had the distinction of being responsible for the first genuine air raid alarm for the city of Perth. Just after mid-day on 10 March 1944, radar operators observed multiple aircraft blips, some 150 miles to the north of Perth. Authorities decided that they could not wait any longer for positive confirmation of enemy activity and a full scale air raid alarm was sounded throughout the city of Perth. No aircraft were spotted, and a later investigation suggested it had been the result of enemy jamming.
The Yanchep National Park is the home to two World War II heritage-listed radar huts that are nothing but a disgrace.
After ‘Victory in the Pacific Day’, 15 August 1945, personnel were progressively ordered out and the unit was finally disbanded after two years and one months service.
The two huts are derelict, grafittied and totally neglected. In 1942, approval was granted for the establishment of radar equipment at Yanchep. The site became fully operational on 27 October 1943. The 227 Radar Unit was formed in August 1943, and was responsible for the operation of the radar, and reporting to the Western Australian Air Defence Headquarters. The unit was a combination of Royal Australian Air Force and
In 1988, the army bunkers were classified in the Register of the National Estate. In 1987, the army bunkers was classified by the National Trust of Australia. Women’s Auxiliary Australian Air Force personnel. The two concrete huts are 40 metres apart, located about 100 metres east of Wanneroo
Road in the national park. When operational the southern hut contained the transmitter and the northern hut the receiver.
Dob in rubbish dumpers Rubbish dumping is rampant and out-of-control with serial dumpers being seen a various location regularly.
Over the past month, the Sun City News has received a number of calls about rubbish dumping and residents want these scoundrels exposed. Around Yanchep and Two Rocks a number of vacant land areas are being used as regular illegal dumps by truck owners, some tradies and people cleaning up as they leave a rental. City of Wanneroo rangers are charged with the duty to
investigate all reported illegal rubbish dumping.
Only a week ago, a man appeared in Joondalup Court, charged with six counts of illegal dumping. He was fined $24,000 and ordered to pay an additional $4039.30 in court costs. The magistrate also ordered him to pay $1656.90 to the City of Wanneroo to help with the clean-up. Department of Environment Regulation director-general, Jason Banks, said the hefty fine should serve as a warning to anyone considering breaking the law.
It would appear these two heritage-listed building will continue to be neglected forever.
Maximum penalties for illegal dumping are $62,500 for individuals and $125,000 for corporations.

To report illegal dumping, call the 24-hour pollution watch hotline on 1300 784 782.
The survey found the vast majority of West Australians, 83 per cent, say that litter is a problem in our own community and yet only seven per cent of people participated in an organised clean-up day in the past year.
The City of Wanneroo was contacted for comment about the recent increase in rubbish dumping, but at the time of going to print, had not responded to the Sun City News media enquiry. Keep Australia Beautiful Week started earlier this week, the McCrindle Research survey, which

Your letters and emails Skate park I would like to encourage the Wanneroo council to have a serious look at the development of a skate park in Yanchep for our youngsters. Two Rocks does have a skate park but the size and congestion can be an issue for all kids involved. Perhaps when the new public open space under construction adjacent to Marmion Avenue would be advantageous. The northern suburbs are rapidly expanding and our teenagers and young children need recreational options, exercise is an integral part of our youth. These facilities also stop kids from getting board and wandering the streets eventuality getting into trouble. Frank Timmons, via web site.
Walkway If the proposed closure of the pedestrian walkway at the end of Nott Place goes ahead; the neighbour will buy it - What a cheek! If this is allowed it will set a precedent and we will see the unique ‘greenbelts access
ways through old Yanchep properties disappear. Kerry Grover, Yanchep.

From the editor
I am mystified by the number of local myths floating around about the newspaper industry. I’m not sure which is the best - ‘If you own a newspaper, you must be a millionaire’ or ‘so many people believe we actually print the newspaper in our home-based business’. Both are totally wrong - I’m definitely not a millionaire, but the Sun City News does provide paid employment to 15 local residents doing a variety of tasks. The only millionaire I know owning a newspaper is Rupert Murdoch. As for printing the paper, our good friends at Fairfax Media have a purpose built state-of-theart printing plant built on around five hectares of land, which happens to be a bit bigger than my theatre room or garage. For the record, the only revenue the Sun City News receives is from supportive advertisers. Without advertisers, no newspaper could exist.
August 22 - Strangers knocking on doors - Drivers on Marmion Ave, lack of road rules. August 22 - Teenagers missbehaving around Beachside Parade/ Yanchep Beach Road. August 24 - The word is the Australia Post mailbox at Yanchep Central Shopping Centre has gone - Does anyone know where it has been moved to?
What we have tried to do and will continue to do is to provide a ‘voice for locals’. Not many mainstream community-type newspapers openly offer this service to the wider community. In being the ‘voice for the community’, at times, we might ruffle a few feathers, but hey, isn’t that freedom of the press, something sadly missing in most newspapers these days. Finally from the ‘rumour file’, the Sun City News has just finished developing its revised five-ten year plan of expansion. Implementation of this plan will see expansion of the Sun City News including new features, more competitions and more opportunities for locals to submit articles and photos for publishing.

Council gets nearly $1m bonus At last week’s Mindarie Regional Council (MRC) meeting, the council agreed to the acquittal of over $3.3 million to its seven member councils. City of Wanneroo is to receive $858,564 from the defunct Carbon Price Reserve. City of Joondalup will receive $740,969 with just under half a million being transferred to a carbon abatement reserve. Town of Cambridge will receive $97,572, City of Perth $156,911, City of Stirling $675,130, Town of Victoria
Park $149,684 and City of Vincent $170,825. When the Federal Government repealed the carbon price mechanism, the MRC had collected nearly $3.4 million, but only had approximately a $57,000 liability to the carbon fund. To date none of the recipient councils have indicated how they will use this bonus windfall. The Mindarie Regional Council is made of seven municipal councils with an annual budget in excess of
$50 million, with some of the highest paid councillors in the country. Each councillor receives $10,300 to attend seven rostered meetings per year plus $1000 per year for technology expenses. The Chairman receives in excess of $36,000 annually. The MRC has 12 councillors, each elected for a minimum two year term, several elected councillors have been on the MRC for ten years and longer.
Join the local Green Army
Federal Member for Pearce, Christian Porter, is calling for more local people to join the Green Army to work on local projects that will make a real difference to the local environment. Mr Porter said applications for projects under Round 4 of the Green Army program are now open and he would encourage more local groups to come forward with ideas. “We’ve had solid interest from the community in joining the Green Army in Pearce and we are seeing some local projects come off the ground,” he said. “Community organisations, Landcare groups, natural resource management organisations, environment groups, Indigenous organisations, local councils and others can now nominate for a new Green Army project that has a clear focus on conservation of the environment or National or World Heritage places. “For young Australians aged between 17 and 24, joining the Green Army means you’ll receive valuable practical experience and training while undertaking work that will improve the environment in our local community.” Round Four of the Green Army will consist of two streams. Stream 1 will focus on heritage projects that promote, protect and conserve Australia’s National and World Heritage which are listed for their natural, historic or Indigenous values.
Stream 2 will focus on projects that directly support the protection and recovery of threatened species, particularly actions for improving habitat. “Right across Australia, the Green Army is making a real difference to the environment and local communities through projects such as restoring and protecting habitat, weeding, planting, cleaning up creeks and rivers and restoring cultural heritage places,” Mr Porter said. “Here in Pearce the Avon Habitat Improvement Project is an example of how Conservation Volunteers Australia has partnered with Wheatbelt Natural Resource Management to form a Green Army to protect and enhance the significant ecological and cultural values of the Avon River.” The Green Army is a major Government commitment with more than $700 million budgeted over four years. This investment in the Green Army brings the Government’s total investment in natural resource management to more than $2 billion over four years. Applications for projects under Round Four of the program are now open and will close at 2pm AEST on Wednesday, 16 September 2015. For more information and application form go to www.australia.gov.au/greenarmy.
On the MRC web site it states: “The Mindarie Regional Council is one of Western Australia’s largest waste management authorities assisting its member councils, mainly situated in Perth’s northern corridor, deals with their waste. “The MRC recognises that waste does have a value as a resource and is committed to managing waste in line with the waste hierarchy and in a way sensitive to the environment and future generations.”

Local newsBITS It is amazing how much some organisations undervalue the volunteers that have freely given hours and hours of their time over many years to support, work or help some of our local groups.
The Sun City News is aware of one recent incident where a long time volunteer who puts in between a 100 to 200 hours a year was ‘victimised’ by a member of this organisation’s staff members. The volunteer was ‘accused of abusing the system’ - If only the staff member was aware of exactly what some of our local volunteers are doing. The Resource Recovery Facility (RRF) in Neerabup will be closed from late August/ early September for three to four months while undergoing repairs and maintenance including the replacement of the composters. The RRF converts general household waste into a soil conditioner for the Mindarie Regional Council. While the RRF is closed all waste will be dumped at Tamala Park landfill site. It’s official, the old Two Rocks boat ramp has been assessed as dangerous. The Department of Transport completed an assessment, confirming the hand rail was removed, there is extensive corrosion and there had been a number of vessel accidents in and around the ramp. A new launching ramp is expected to be installed by the end of this year. The Field Day/Ag Show season is fast approaching: Dowerin Field Days 26-27 August; Mullewa Ag Show 29 August; Moora Show 19 September; Newdegate Show 2-3 September; Chapman Valley Ag Show 5 September; and Mingenew Midwest Expo 17-18 September. These field day/shows are a great family day out - Show bags, balloons, animals, rides and a glimpse at our local produce.
The Australia Post mailbox outside the Yanchep Central Shopping Centre was stolen last Monday night. An 11 year old local boy found it while playing after school in bush area in Jindowie not far from the shopping centre. He told his dad and then showed him where it was. His dad then called police. With his dad’s help and his Toyota Landcruiser, the mailbox is now secured at the Yanchep Police station. The Sun City News is aware that there is CCTV footage of the theft with two culprits and their vehicle. The Shire of Gingin is set to benefit from over $1.7million in funding under the Coalition Government’s Financial Assistance Grant programme in 2015-16. Federal Member for Pearce, Christian Porter said: “Importantly, councils are free to spend this funding according to local priorities, including infrastructure, health, recreation, environment, employment and roads projects. “This funding will deliver a tangible benefit; improving our local community in the areas it is most needed.” The Federal Member for Pearce, Christian Porter, is encouraging all members of the community to get involved in National Flag Day on Thursday 3 September. “This year will mark 114 years since the Australian National Flag was flown for the first time after it was chosen through a worldwide flag competition in 1901,” Mr Porter said.
Processable waste at the Mindarie Regional Landfill is 959 tonnes below their forecasts for the financial year. Casual and trade tonnes are 564 tonnes below forecasts. Can anyone guess where this trash is being dumped? Is it true, demountables will be set up on the Yanchep Sports and Social Club site including a toilet block? The word around town is the demountables are needed to to accommodate the closure of Capricorn House. What happened to the ‘promise’ that no one would be ‘left out in the cold’? Latest figures show Facebook users are driving an increase in social media defamation enquiries to Australia’s leading consumer law firm. Almost half, 48 per cent, of defamation enquiries received by Slater and Gordon in the last financial year were about material posted on social media. Most of those enquires, 43 per cent related to Facebook posts. Slater and Gordon defamation lawyer Jeremy Zimet said social media was changing the landscape of defamation in Australia. Mr Zimet said Slater and Gordon’s recent social media defamation court cases included a person who was accused of serious criminal offences on Facebook and a person who was allegedly defamed on an internet blog.

Science festival in full swing The inaugural Gingin Science Festival was opened, last Friday, by the WA Governor, Kerry Sanderson at an official function at the heritage-listed Gingin Railway Station. The function was attended by students from Gingin District High School, local government officers, elected councillors, mayors and shire presidents, State and Federal politicians. Festival chairman, Peter Jones described the festival as the world’s biggest rural science festival. Professor David Blair, founder and inspiration behind the Gingin Science Festival provided an intriguing insight to Albert Einstein’ science. The formal opening was followed by a lunch at the Gravity Discovery Centre with Jack Davidson speaking about ‘Ten billion planets and counting’. There are numerous events across the Shire of Gingin every day of the week until Saturday 19 September. For full details visit gingin sciencefestival.com.au.
Media enquiries responses slow Most metropolitan Local Government councils have extensive and expensive PR departments feeding media statements and interviews to TV, radio and newspapers daily. This is an essential service for local councils to keep in contact with the community, residents and ratepayers. For quite some time, the Sun City News has had concerns at the slowness of responses to ‘media enquiries’ to some local government authorities.
For example, currently the Sun City News has four overdue media enquiries Three with council and one with a school. To be told: “We have received your enquiry and will do our best to provide answers as soon as possible. “You might already be aware that the Mayor and CEO are currently in Canberra seeking government support for the City as part of the Tri Cities Alliance,” is pretty pathetic. Equally, submitting a media
enquiry and getting a link to a web site as the official response is very lazy. Sadly, the major metropolitan councils think they have made themselves ‘bulletproof’ and appear to respond to media enquiries, when they can be bothered too. When you have an elected Mayor, and councillors spruiking the ‘openness and accountability’ of their council, being let down by delays, half answered enquiries or even no response; it doesn’t wash.
With a council election just around the corner, mid-October, this is the appropriate time to hold these officials and elected members to account. Leading up to the local council elections, the Sun City News will be trying to provide the best ‘election coverage’ possible; including coverage of our mayoral and council candidates profiles. The successful mayor and councillors control the future of our community.

Australia’s cleanest beach The small town of Guilderton has won the national 2015 Australian Clean Beaches Award.
Appointments call Donna on

Guilderton’s national win was secured over finalists Bondi Beach, New South Wales; Burleigh Beach, Queensland; Garig Gunak Barlu, Northern Territory; Port Julia, South Australia; and Richardsons Beach, Tasmania. In addition to taking out the national award, Guilderton also won the award for Environmental Education.
Two initiatives in Guilderton’s national entry that impressed Keep Australia Beautiful award organisers included the construction of a timber stairway leading from an outlook gazebo at the top car park down to the ocean which now provides safe access to the beach and helps defend the fore dunes from further degradation, as well as the North Guilderton Coastal Restoration Project which was created to help protect native vegetation unique to the area.
“We are completely overjoyed at the outcome,” said Ms Lamont, president of the Guilderton Community Association. “The standard was so high we didn’t think we stood a chance. We are absolutely thrilled,” said Shire of Gingin President, Michael Aspinall. “Congratulations to the Guilderton community for an outstanding result, we are extremely proud.” WA Minister for Environment, Albert Jacob, said the national Keep Australia
Beautiful title was welldeserved recognition for the small coastal town. “Guilderton is at the mouth of the Moore River and is renowned for its sparkling, clear water and coastline but it does not just happen to be this way - there is a great deal of community effort supporting this beautiful environment,” Mr Jacob said. “Guilderton is very proactive in protecting its beautiful coastline, removing litter and educating people on marine and wildlife ecosystems.”

Foxtel recognise local footy club grassroots clubs will be able to send eight members to visit an AFL club, receiving a full tour of their facility, plus have a detailed strategic meeting with the whole senior coaching panel, discussing customised tactics.
The Yanchep Districts Junior Football Club is celebrating after winning a coaching and marketing seminar with Alastair Clarkson, Luke Beveridge and Damien Hardwick, thanks to the 2015 Fox Footy Club Rewards program. Competing in the West Perth Junior Football League, Yanchep Districts Junior Football Club is one of 50 grassroots football clubs that had two representatives from the club attend the seminar hosted by some of the current game’s greatest minds. Fox Footy Club Rewards is an initiative created by Foxtel whereby local football clubs are recognised for the benefits they have delivered to their local communities,
be it through fundraising for a charitable cause, broader community development initiatives or helping out a club member in a time of need National Ambassador for the program, and ex St Kilda captain, Danny Frawley, believes it will be the opportunity of a lifetime for each club that is involved to receive advice from some of the game’s elite coaches. “Local football clubs are the backbone of the community and it is refreshing to see an organisation like Foxtel genuinely investing in their growth and development. By giving them access to expert AFL coaching advice, as well as some best practices for how to grow their clubs off the field, the clubs will be
better placed to further grow their presence in the local community” said Frawley. Yanchep Districts Junior Football Club spokesperson, Sue Moir, was ecstatic that the hard work on and off the field from the club had been acknowledged by Fox Footy Club Rewards. “Our club is incredibly lucky to have two representatives further their football education, by hearing from some of the smartest minds in the game. “Thanks to Foxtel and Fox Footy for giving us the opportunity to be a part of the Club Rewards program.” In addition to the 50 clubs that receive the marketing seminar, an additional 17
LLFC out of finals race Dandaragan Saints have won the right to play Cervantes in the league CMCFL grand final after beating the Pirates by a point after overtime.
The Lancelin Ledge Point Pirates hosted the preliminary final and while the skies were clear the wind was to prove the major weather factor. A five goal southerly blew straight down the ground ensuring all goals (and all but one point) were scored at the town end of the oval. Dandaragan won the toss and kicked with the wind. They used it well, kicking 5.4 without the Pirates troubling the scoreboard. The Pirates, who were missing six of their best players from early in the season, struggled for the first half of the second quarter kicking with the wind. It wasn’t until the 12 minute mark that Pirates’ coach, Tristin Drake, kicked the team’s first goal after receiving a 50m penalty. Thirty seconds later Jackson Harwood goalled followed by Brad French. Dandaragan used the ball
cleverly against the wind, kicking short and finding targets. Pirates ruckman, Glen Scaddan, was sent off for 15 minutes for rough play leaving ‘Pickle’ Armitage to shoulder the load which he did with great heart. Shortly before half time, Jordan Jurinovich scored a soccer-style goal to narrow the margin to five points, Dandaragan 5.4 to 4.5. The third quarter saw Dandaragan kicking with the wind and Saints Trinity Handley, and Luke Falconer, were proving tough to contain. Having kicked five goals with the wind in the first quarter, the Pirates did well to hold Dandaragan to just 2.4 for the quarter while scoring
the only score against the wind all day, a solitary point. The last quarter was always going to be tough. The Pirates were kicking with the wind but they were down by 15 points. About half way through the quarter, Tristin Drake kicked the Pirates first goal for the quarter off his non-preffered foot and then Warren Benjamin slotted a second. Matt Helms and Steven Bean were desperate in defence for Dandaragan, as the Pirates kept coming. A minute or so before the final siren, Aaron Jarvis kicked from the boundary line and scored a point, levelling the scoreboard at 7.8 (66) each.
One lucky football club will soon also be announced as the “Fox Footy Community Club of the Year”, receiving a money can’t-buy-experience where 40 members of their team will be run through an elite training session with the coaching staff and current playing list. Foxtel’s Executive Director of Sports and Content Partnerships, Ben Buckley, was pleased all successful clubs would be able to receive advice from three finals bound coaches. “We’re thrilled that these clubs are able to meet some of the biggest names in football as a result of telling their inspiring stories of assistance for their communities,” said Buckley. “It’s important to recognise those clubs that go above and beyond to give back to their communities and both Foxtel and Fox Footy are proud to reward these clubs with what they hopefully see as a great opportunity to further grow their clubs.”
Being a preliminary final, a result was mandatory so two periods of extra time were played, each five minutes in length and without timeon. Once again Dandaragan kicked with the breeze and scored twice, both points. The Pirates then had their chance with the wind and were only able to score a solitary point, resulting in the Saints winning 7.10 (68) to 7.9 (69). Without doubt the crowd witnessed one of the truly great games in the CMCFL. Whether or not Dandaragan can pull off an upset over Cervantes in the grand final remains to be seen. They’ll certainly need to put up a better showing than they did in their last encounter when they allowed the Tiger Sharks to kick 43 goals. The grand final will be played in Moora on Saturday 29 August, and Cervantes has teams in every football and netball match. What odds a quadrella?

Water for growth
Work on the new 1.4km water distribution main to Alkimos and Eglington will help accommodate development in the coastal suburbs. The State Government, through the Water Corporation, started work on the distribution main in July with work expected to finish in October 2015.
Bank helps students “The high cost associated with tertiary study can have a significant impact on a young person’s ability to further their education and some may not get the chance to go to university without financial help.
The proposed water main will connect to an existing larger capacity main in Marmion Avenue that feeds water from the south and will be extended in the future to service developments to the north as the need arises.
“Our Community Bank Branch is happy to help ease some of that pressure and hopefully one day these students will return and share their new skills with the Gingin Shire community.”
Road users are urged to be cautious in the area and be aware of traffic management and observe the speed limit through this area.
City of Wanneroo puts out the welcome mat for new migrants
The City of Wanneroo has announced a partnership with the Metropolitan Migrant Resource Centre (MMRC) to help new migrants settle in. The MMRC, a non-profit community organisation provides services across the metropolitan area from a base in Mirrabooka. As part of the partnership, the City of Wanneroo offers free use of its venues for MMRC programs and activities to support the local migrant population settle into the community.
Nominate a youth
Gingin Shire youth will again be able to get a head start on their studies, with Gingin Community Bank Branch and Lancelin branch announcing the opening of their tertiary scholarship program for the third year. The scholarship, which opens in December, will support one local student with study costs in their first year of higher education.
Seventeen new types of spider orchids have been discovered in Western Australia’s south-west region, Australia’s only internationally recognised global biodiversity hotspot.
Individuals and groups can be nominated in six categories: The Minister for Youth’s Most Outstanding Youth Worker Awards; the Active Participation Award; the Cultural Endeavours Award; the Organisational Achievement Award; the Community Leadership Award and the Commissioner for Children and Young People Participate Award.
Department of Parks and Wildlife herbarium curator, Kevin Thiele, said the new orchids were found in areas throughout the south-west from north of Geraldton to east of Esperance.

“Our young people are our future and we believe they need the best support possible to achieve their dreams,” Mr Roe said.
Applications are invited from eligible students, starting their studies in 2016, from 1 December 2015. Applications close on 25 January 2016
Last year, the Gingin Community Bank Branch and Lancelin branch Scholarship supported local student, Jacinta Raven, with her Bachelor of Art studies at Notre Dame University in Fremantle. The Gingin Community Bank Branch and Lancelin branch Scholarship is part of the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Scholarship Program, with numerous Community Bank branches and other partners taking part across Australia. For further information please contact Gingin Community Bank Branch on 9575 1560, or visit www.bendigobank. com.au/scholarships.

The WA Youth Awards were established in 1999 to recognise West Australians aged 12 to 25 years for their contributions to the community, as well as outstanding youth groups and organisations that serve and support the State’s young people.
Nominations for the 2015 Youth Awards close on Friday 2 October with the finalists being announced two weeks later and the awards being announced at a gala dinner on Friday 27 November.
Gingin Community Bank Branch and Lancelin branch Chairman, David Roe, said helping young people gain access to tertiary education was one way his branches’ were bigger than a bank.
Successful Gingin Community Bank Branch and Lancelin branch Scholarship applicants will initially receive funding for one year and depending on academic performance, the scholarship may be renewed to assist in the second year of their study.

The newly named spider orchids are all from the genus Caladenia and include 11 separate species and six subspecies. “There are now 158 identified spider orchids in WA, the vast
majority of them found only in the south-west, reinforcing the State’s reputation for its amazing diversity of flora,” Dr Thiele said.
Parks and Wildlife staff member Andrew Brown and WA Herbarium research associate Garry Brockman identified and named the new species.
“This discovery also adds greatly to the understanding of spider orchids by botanists and the wider community,

Reducing red tape for homeowners From Monday 19 October, building and renovating times could be cut by up to two months for planning compliant homes following today’s gazettal of the new Local Planning Schemes regulations. Minister for Planning, John Day, said the new regulations would apply to all local governments and would make it easier for homeowners, small business and industry to obtain building and renovation approvals. “These regulations will streamline and simplify the planning process to save property and business owners’ time and money,” Mr Day said. “In many cases the new regulations will save residents up to 60 days when installing a planning compliant patio, carport or granny flat as they remove the need for a Development Application to be submitted to a local government. “Likewise, renovating or constructing a new planning compliant single house will no longer require approval, and small to medium-sized businesses won’t have to seek approval to change a property from one permitted use to another.”
Finance Minister, Bill Marmion, said the changes reflected the Liberal National Government’s new Regulatory Reform Policy commitment. “The new regulations will help revolutionise the current planning system,” Mr Marmion said. “They are part of our wide-ranging
commitment to streamlining services and encouraging innovation, investment and economic growth.” Mr Day said WA had more than 150 different local planning schemes operating in local governments across the State.
“This is a major reform that, for the first time, will introduce a consistent planning process across all schemes,” he said. “These initiatives are a key part of the most comprehensive planning reform ever undertaken in WA.”
For example, the process and application forms to build an extension on a property in Yanchep will now be the same as in Broome. The template for local planning schemes has also been made much easier to understand, with less legalistic language.
