Yanchep resident, Paul Kendall, a professional firefighter, is featured in the 2016 Perth Firefighters Calendar which raises money for the Childrens’ Burns Unit at Princess Margaret Hospital. Over the past 12 months, Paul has been on a gruelling diet, strict gym regime and he had to learn to dance to get to the required standard for selection in the calendar. Paul said: “The reason I wanted to do the calendar was because I volunteer at PMH as a firefighter going around the wards with the Radio Lollypop team.” Locals can support this great fundraiser by buying a calendar. Bib’s Cafe at 99 Lindsay Beach Road, Yanchep, has a limited number for sale. Since 2008, over $700,000 has been raised through the Perth Firefighters Calendar in support of the Princess Margaret Hospital Total Care Burns Unit. Around 20,000 calendars are expected to be sold this year.

On the council agenda Fund Our Future Campaign’ costing up to $20,000 over the next two years.
At next week’s City of Wanneroo council meeting, there are 30 different reports including two for confidential consideration plus three councillor motions on notice.
The National Growth Areas Alliance (NGAA) was established to provide a national voice for outer metropolitan growth areas about the infrastructure and service needs resulting from rapid population expansion.
There are a number of reports that directly affect the North Coast Ward. The first relates to the consideration of establishing two new ‘Technical Advisory Committees’ to provide input and advice on the implementation of the Alkimos - Eglinton and Yanchep - Two Rocks Development Contribution Plans. The two committees, Yanchep - Two Rocks Development Contribution Plan Advisory Committee and Alkimos - Eglinton Development Contribution Plan Advisory Committee, will meet a minimum of three times a year. The main objective of these committees is to provide advice to the City of Wanneroo on matters relating to the implementation of the respective DCPs.
The confidential reports relate to a request for permanent memorial plaque at Claytons Beach; and an ‘Advocacy Campaign’.

In the next report, the council is being asked to reject all nine tenders to build the new toilet facilities at Fisherman’s Hollow because they exceed the council budget of $452,000.
The council report states the Development Contribution Schemes are ‘high risk’ without providing any details of how it will be managed.
Tenders submitted were in the range of $552,176.64 up to $684,239.
In another report, there are several local projects that are included as ‘budget variations’.

The council is expected to give the chief executive officer delegated authority to accept tenders for the project. In another report, the council will consider the outcome of the public comment process for the Butler North District Public Open Space Master Plan. The $22m facility received 237 submissions, council is being asked to ‘note the report’ with the construction period starting in 2016/17 through to 2019/20. In another report the council is being asked to approve a ‘National Growth Areas Alliance
At last week’s Shire of Gingin council meeting, the council unanimously approved the adoption of a new policy for ‘Dealing with Complaints’. The new policy clearly sets out the type of action that can be taken with respect to formal complaints, and under what circumstances an investigation can be discontinued. In another report, the council granted approval for the occupation of temporary accommodation at Lot 237 Ficus Rise, Nilgen, subject to four conditions. In another report, the council prohibited vehicle access to the area of Unallocated Crown Land between the western termination of Tully View, Seabird, to 130 metres south of the western termination of McCormick Street,
Seabird. The reason for the vehicle ban is primarily to assist with the management of erosion in the area.

Trolling the internet the Sun City News found a City of Wanneroo online survey regarding ‘Future Yanchep Community Facilities’. The web site states: “Due to the rapid expansion of the northern corridor of Perth and expected growth of the Yanchep Two Rocks population, it is important that the City consults with residents to understand both the current and expected future needs of the growing and diverse community. By answering this survey, you can help make sure that the future Yanchep Community Facility meets the needs of the community. They are seeking your feedback to understand: What facility provision is required to meet community needs? How this facility might best service the community; and What elements and features should be included in the facility design? Sun City News urges all locals fill in the survey at www. surveymonkey.com/r/Yanchep. It is unknown when the survey closes, no details were supplied by the City of Wanneroo.

Mitchell Freeway to Hester Ave Major construction works are underway to extend Mitchell Freeway six kilometres north to Hester Avenue in Clarkson.
Other ways of boosting the number of councillors in training programs include paying bonuses or making it a pre-election requirement. The WA State Government wants to make some training compulsory amid concerns many councillors do not know how to handle conflicts of interests or understand their role in the planning process. Mandatory training was proposed by the Robson report. A WA Local Government Association discussion paper proposed options from making voluntary training more attractive to compulsory training with strategies to enforce it. Avenue between Hidden Valley Retreat and Wanneroo Road; Reconfiguring Hester Avenue/Ridgewood Boulevard intersection to a roundabout, and Installation of an extra right turn lane from Wanneroo Road southbound to Hester Avenue westbound.
These improvements are expected to be completed in mid-2017. Reflecting on the first few months of construction, Main Roads project director, Chris Raykos, said: “The project has got off to an excellent start with progress very visible on the ground.
“Major construction works are taking place across the entire project and will continue to gain momentum in the coming months.” Photo: Aerial view of the future Flynn Drive/Wanneroo Road/Neerabup Road intersection.

The most serious proposed penalties were withholding allowances or sitting fees or declaring a councillor’s position vacant at the next available election. In WA councillors are remunerated either by a meeting attendance fee or an annual allowance, with mayors and presidents receiving an additional annual allowance. Depending on the council and the position annual attendance fees can range from $3500 to $46,350. Meeting attendance fees can range from $44 for a committee meeting up to $1159 for a mayor or president in the top salary band to attend a regular council meeting. Local Government Minister Tony Simpson said he was committed to ensuring more and better training for councillors. His preference was to work with the sector to develop a preferred training requirement and for councils to offer proposals to ensure compliance.

Your letters and emails Accountability
simply a two fingered salute to the ratepayers, but there is truth in the fact that we get what we government we deserve.
It would seem that the people that we give the right to administer our funds to, be it taxes, rates, membership funds or whatever it is, seem fit to just ignore the fact that it is our money that they are managing, and because it is our money we do have the right to know where and on what they spend our money on.
We should all at the very least think about how that amount of money ‘one million dollars’ minimum would be better spent in the area/s we live. Viva le revolution, I say. R Huggett, Yanchep.
They seem to treat it as a faitaccompli that once they are installed in whatever position they have been voted in to that they can then just do as they please thus ignoring all those that put them there.
Thank you
The Yanchep Dolphins Little Athletics would like to thank Yanchep Beach Joint Venture for the support and donation of $750 to assist in purchasing a laptop for the club.
This has become the norm nowadays and we simply put up with it, any requests for information are either ignored or answered in such a way as to be incomprehensible to the language understood by the normal person. The many trips that are taken under the guise of ‘information gathering’ with the usual family members and hangers on, are simply holidays for them which are looked upon as remuneration for services rendered. If asked to produce the information they went to seek, they simply produce literature from the organisation visited, which could have easily been posted to them or is available via internet search, if the need arose to discuss any relevant point then
Yanchep Little Athletics.
Finish off projects one would think perhaps email or a video conference would be the way to go in order to keep costs down for ratepayers, but that would negate the need for the trip, would it not? Why is it that openness and accountability seem to have become dirty words in the world of governmental bodies? My mind is suspicious enough, but when one reads an article as published by the Sun City News regarding the length of time it took to obtain such information
and the lack of information requested makes me think that things are not as they should be, and I believe a lot of people would think the same, and that this would also be a good reason why they don’t bother to vote as they don’t see matters changing in any way in the future. In a society like ours we should have the legal right to see where and how our money is spent by persons we have appointed to spend it - It should be itemised with the names of the people who
spent it and what it was spent on, and available for any member of whichever organisation, be it ratepayer, fishing club member, or whatever it is that the person belongs to, where that person has paid his/her hard earned money into, should simply on request be able to view these payments without obstacles/ excuses being put in the way. In the case of the Wanneroo council’s financial information not being supplied and receiving this after the election I see this as
It is so disappointing to see so many unfinished projects around the district - Disrupted staged construction of community facilities, road works incomplete, the list goes on and on, who is holding the council administration to account? It is easy to see why the City of Wanneroo doesn’t provide regular up-to-date capital works progress reports to the wider community, I’m sure it would highlight their inefficiencies or poor management capabilities.

Can you help?
should be highly commended for what they have done for cancer patients in our electorate and combining with Genesis CancerCare from Joondalup we have the highest quality care accommodation in Western Australia. GenesisCare is Australia’s largest provider of radiation oncology, cardiology and sleep treatments. With more than 1500 employees, GenesisCare provides essential health care services across more than 125 sites and clinics ranging from the major capital cities to regional and rural centres. In late October, a former bed & breakfast premises was officially opened as a Genesis CancerCare Lodge by the City of Wanneroo Mayor Tracey Roberts, Other officials present included the Member for Butler, John Quigley; and the General Manager of Genesis CancerCare in Joondalup, Michael Davis. Genesis Cancer Care refurbished four rooms and cancer patients travelling to Perth and requiring accommodation will get free accommodation.
Genesis has leased the former bed and breakfast establishment and over 20 local tradesmen and businesses donated their time towards the refurbishment of the premises to provide splendid accommodation. Clarkson Nissan generously donated a Toyota Tarago which Jo and other members of TRYACT, will use to transport patients to Joondalup Hospital and other centres for their cancer treatment. Property owner, Jo Holder, said that she wanted patients
staying at Genesis House to feel as though they are on holiday. Each of the rooms has been completely refurbished and has a spa bath. Mr Quigley said that he was accommodated at apartments in Melbourne when travelling there for cancer treatment but there was nothing of such high quality as what Jo and Genesis have bought together in Two Rocks. Mr Quigley said that Jo Holding, Sue Dash and all the volunteers at TRYACT
GenesisCare exists to fill the treatment gap for the biggest disease burdens in Australia, cancer and cardiovascular disease, in an environment of substantial unmet need from an ageing population. Genesis CancerCare treats all patients referred to its service irrespective of their financial situation. Across their centres, flexible fee arrangements are provided on an individual patient basis to allow everyone rapid access to high quality care.

Holiday park update PUBLIC NOTICE Community Facilities Plan – Public Consultation Invitation Are you interested in helping the Shire of Gingin develop its Community Facilities Plan? The Shire of Gingin is undertaking the development of its Community Facilities Plan. The intent of the plan is to investigate community facility infrastructure and service requirements within the Shire of Gingin. The Shire wishes to be a place where there are opportunities to lead an active life through participation and inclusivity, as a whole-of-life experience. Current and future needs will be identified both by the present services offered within the community and the functions of built structures, as well as researching future needs brought about by growth, changing demographics, and the possible decline in traditional recreational activities. The Shire is therefore looking for interested participants to attend community forum(s) and provide input on the current and future recreational needs of communities living in the Shire of Gingin. The following community forums will be held: Date

Jeremy Edwards CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
The WA Government has taken three years to plan the clearing of 10 hectares of bushland to make way for a new Lancelin holiday park, before realising a revamp of the one next door would do just as well. It is the second embarrassing discovery for the government over the project, now late in the planning approvals process, after its environmental consultants recently failed to recognise the presence of an endangered plant species protected by federal law. In 2012, Lancelin was identified as one of the state’s top three places most urgently needing a new holiday park, and a 10 hectare greenfield site was selected for re-zoning. This month, however, it has been discovered that an existing caravan park next door to the new site is about to become available for redevelopment. Lancelin Coastcare found that Tourism WA were recently ‘unofficially informed’ that the leaseholder of the existing South End caravan park, BGC, did not intend to renew its lease and the park would soon be up for redevelopment. Tourism WA confirmed the existing park could become available and would be a sensible alternative. “It is Tourism WA’s view that a brownfield site such as this, alongside a greenfield site, will make an attractive proposition for any developer - again providing an opportunity for the development of an iconic tourist caravan park in Lancelin,” a spokeswoman said. “This is all still subject to decisions by the Shire, the leasee of the existing park and the WA Planning Commission.” Meanwhile, a raft of approvals have been sought and granted for the original proposal, with the final approval now resting with the WA Planning Commission. The Coastcare group said the proposal poses a risk not only to
threatened species, but to the health of the dune system which already struggles with erosion. It also said one of the government’s own reports from 2012 showed the proposed caravan park would face a high risk of flooding over its predicted 50-year lifespan, as it did not allow for the government’s own projections of sea level rises. The group demanded the federal approval for the site be revoked, as it was based on a referral from the local government that said no alternative site was available and that losing three of the six patches of endangered grasslands was ‘unavoidable’. While it said that there were public consultations, it did not mention that two-thirds of submissions opposed the development. Shire of Gingin chief executive, Jeremy Edwards, was unable to comment on Tourism WA’s revelation that another site could be available. He rejected the suggestion that the council’s referral was not complete, and that the council had overruled public opposition because of ‘strong planning arguments’. The dispute has divided the Lancelin community. Coastcare alleges the council and government have misinformed people about the potential harm of the development while others accuse them of sabotaging the plan out of self-interest. What no one disputes is the former fishing town’s urgent need for shortstay accommodation. Gingin Shire President, David Roe, said Lancelin needs the development as it now relies on tourism, not fishing. “With Indian Ocean Drive going past, you have a captive audience, but you have to have a reason for them to come there. You’ve got a great little bay there, but if people can’t stay, they’re not going to stop, are they?”
Funding for gateways to aquatic fun Mariners and boating aficionados will be pleased to hear up to $2 million of State Government funding is available to improve public boating facilities. Applications for Round 21 of the hugely successful Recreational Boating Facilities Scheme (RBFS) are now open, providing incentive for eligible facility managers statewide to discuss and seek funding assistance for upgrade projects. Member for Moore, Shane Love, said assistance wasn’t exclusive to coastal facilities, with many boating opportunities available at inland locations also. “Applications can be made for the planning, construction or upgrade of boat launching ramps, jetties, moorings, breakwaters and new channels directly related to a public recreational boating facility,” he said. “Land-based infrastructure at public boating facilities, such as trailer parking areas, toilets and boating signage are also eligible.” Boating facility managers can apply to the Department of Transport for up to 75 per cent of the cost of a
project, with the maximum grant available set at $750,000. Regional Development Minister, Terry Redman, said a record injection of $20 million from the Royalties for Regions program during the last five rounds had helped progress many large scale projects that would help meet the growing demand for new recreational boating facilities in regional areas. “With more than 200,000 recreational skipper’s ticket holders in WA, the State Government is committed to working with local facility managers to provide safe and adequate infrastructure,” Mr Redman said. Royalties for Regions has assisted a total of 132 regional RBFS projects, providing grant funding for projects worth $30 million. The RBFS, administered by the Department of Transport (DoT), has allocated nearly $42 million to 395 projects since its inception in 1998. For information and application guidelines visit www.transport. wa.gov.au/rbfs or contact 9435 7612 to lodge an application by Tuesday 9 February, 2016.

Slow start to abalone season
Last Sunday saw the start of the Abalone season with numbers down dramatically at Yanchep Lagoon. For the past five years, Yanchep Lagoon has been packed with abalone hunters on the first day of the season. This year the word was out, local abalone was scarce and mostly undersized. Fisheries inspectors were on-site checking for licences and under size abalone.
At one stage at the lagoon there was nearly as many surf life savers, sea rescue personnel and fisheries officers than abalone hunters. Stocks of the sought-after culinary delicacy have fallen in recent years and the season is being carefully monitored to see if the total West Coast Zone limit of 20 tonnes should be reduced. The abalone season could be reduced.
Across the Perth metro area, one $1000 fine was issued for exceeding the bag limit of 15 per fisher per day, a further nine infringements
incurred fines of $200 each and 52 formal warnings were given.

Commemorative celebration for Ray representative of the Anglican Church here in Yanchep. As a man of this community and man of the sea Ray Krakouer’s ashes will be scattered at sea and a memorial plaque placed at a later date. Ray had a great love and faith in this community and region. He considered the community his ‘tribe’ and people.
Ray Krakouer passed away peacefully on Saturday 19 September, 2015, at Leighton Nursing Home in West Perth. Late last month, a group of friends and family gathered at the Yanchep Sports & Social Club to reminisce about Ray and some of his many yarns Ray had a passion for Yanchep and his ‘tribe’ at the time of his passing; he was in great spirits and of sound mind. He loathed funerals and avoided them at all cost. He was privately cremated. He openly stated his faith was Christian, yet tolerated the different beliefs of others. He greatly enjoyed a visit from the Anglican Minister while at Leighton. He was visited every Sunday for 30 years by Joanna, a senior
His desire from the beginning was to see Yanchep grow and develop into something magnificent. He was around long enough to see much of it happen as he envisaged. He was greatly appreciative of the friendships, functions, adventures and fun he enjoyed here. He happily ‘stood in the gap’ wherever he could contribute throughout the decades. At the age of 24, Ray had his honeymoon at the Gloucester Lodge in the Yanchep National Park. He purchased land in old Yanchep over 50 years ago, and became a full time resident about 40 years ago. Born Raymond Dixie Krakouer in Leederville on 2 January 1924, he was the second son of Philip and Ada. He was the last surviving of the immediate family. He married daughters.

He often talked about the great love of his life was Maggie Baynham who passed some eight years ago. Together they travelled to the UK three times and the experience opened up a new world to him. Nothing, however eclipsed Yanchep and he was always glad to return. As an ex-serviceman of WWII, Ray was a member of the RSL and served with the 2nd 28th Batallion. He marched with his mates on ANZAC Day in Perth city for as long as his health enabled. In later years he attended the memorial service in Yanchep Park. The Australian flag flew from the home flagpole, indicating his fierce patriotism and letting everyone know he was in residence. It was lowered and stashed away when he was absent, like the Queen. He maintained life-long friendships with those he served, some of whom he attended primary school. Most of these have passed on, but contact was kept up as long as there was life. Ray was a great practical joker, he retained this sense of mischief/fun all his life. He was a great athlete. A strong swimmer who swam to Olympic standards. His lifelong love of the water translated from the tiller of a surf boat at Scarborough Surf Lifesaving Club to stints fishing.
He was instrumental in the formation of the Surf Lifesaving Club in Albany and along with Margaret Waddell instrumental in the formation of the club in Yanchep, some time in the 1960’s. Ray was innately gifted as an artist. Untrained, his mastery of a pen amazed everyone. For many years he contributed cartoons to the Sun City News. Ray always carried a fine point black texta to draw on everything from dinner plates to paper napkins, then give them away.

It was friendship, conversation and connection. During the Sports Club gathering many fiends, reminisced about their times with Ray. Vale Ray Krakouer.
About Ray’s cartoons
For a number of years he fished with the late Bob Hugill on the ‘Sandra’. He loved the life and the camaraderie it provided. In later years, he fished alongside John Clarke from Two Rocks. Ray did a stint on the Alkimos as a ‘caretaker’. He, along with others perpetuated stories about the ship and its demise under the pretext of generating ‘publicity and interest in the area’. For some 50 years he was a JP. He took the task very seriously and cared about those for which he signed and witnessed documents. It was another practical way for him to serve the community and be connected. He was a volunteer fire fighter and ambulance driver for many years. He was Chair of the local writers group for a stint. He most certainly connected with the local
Every cartoon Ray drew over the many, many years contained two characteristics - The most obvious was the crayfish on lead. The second characteristic was less obvious and sometime more difficult to find - Within each of his drawing was hidden a pair of testicles. This was the type of humour that Ray enjoyed.

Recycling begins with us Recycling is a constantly evolving industry, but a vital stage in the chain is the very first one – us! Without a continuous and reliable input of recyclable items, it’s not economically viable to maintain recycling facilities and invest in the development of new equipment. So we each play an important role as our recycling habits influence the success of the whole recycling system.
that have too much food waste attached to them, for example pizza boxes. Other common mistakes include clothing, polystyrene nappies, garden waste and electronic waste.
How can we recycle at work effectively? Commercial and industrial sectors generate more waste than households in Australia but have lower landfill diversion rates, recycling less than half of their waste (46%) and sending
What are the most common recycling mistakes? Planet Ark surveyed 115 councils across Australia and asked them what the three most common recycling mistakes made by their residents were. 1. Plastic bags and soft plastics in the recycling bin - Nine out of ten councils (92%) say that it is one of the most common mistakes made by their residents. These are recyclable, but not at kerbside: Consumers can drop their soft plastics such as plastic shopping bags, and plastic bags from confectionary, pasta, bread and frozen food off at one of 600 REDcycle locations, including selected Coles and Woolworths stores. 2. Recyclable items in the general waste bin - Nearly half of councils (48%) reported residents mistakenly placing kerbside recyclables into the general waste bin. These items are wasted resources, as the materials are sent to landfill instead of being used for the manufacture of new products and the removal of limited and valuable resources from the Australian economy. 3. Food contamination - Food contamination was the third most common recycling mistake highlighted by councils (23%), so residents are placing items into the kerbside recycling bin
Australian Recycling Label Although Australians are world class recyclers at home, 99 per cent of people are confused about the recyclability of at least one common item of packaging. To address this confusion Planet Ark, in partnership with GreenChip, has developed the Australian Recycling Label, with funding from the Australian Packaging Covenant (APC). The label shows clearly and simply whether each individual piece of packaging can recycled in the kerbside recycling bin, or whether a consumer needs to ‘check locally’ to see if the item is accepted by their local council.
Container Deposit Schemes (CDS) around 7 million tonnes landfill every year. This approximately 1.7 tonnes waste per employee, so is area of huge potential.
to is of an
Previous Planet Ark research has shown that Australia-wide, 80 per cent of employees would like to see more recycling in their workplace and 71 per cent of people think that having access to recycling facilities at work makes or would make them feel like they work for a responsible employer, which correlates with staff morale and performance.
What is the future of recycling? The volume of waste being generated in Australia is increasing every year, so the recycling industry needs to constantly adapt by developing new processing technologies and public engagement initiatives. New product stewardship schemes are helping to promote the recycling and safe disposal of items that were routinely sent to landfill in the past.
This involves a small deposit being paid by the consumer through the price of the beverage, which is refunded when the empty container is returned for recycling to either a reverse-vending machine or a waste facility. A CDS has been successfully running in South Australia since 1977, where litter from beverage containers is the lowest in the country. The CDS was introduced to the Northern Territory in 2011 and doubled the recycling rate of beverage containers in its first year. After much debate a CDS is due to begin in NSW in 2017, to try and reduce the estimated two billion plastic bottles that are littered in NSW every year, and this has led to both the Queensland and ACT governments considering a similar scheme. The West Australian State Government have resisted introducing the Container Deposit Scheme. Planet Ark’s National Recycling Week is coming up - November 9th to 15th.
