ROYAL VISIT

Serena Lloyd, the great granddaughter of Yanchep’s unofficial Queen, Lady Mary Lindsay, earlier this week visited the Lindsay Homestead at Yanchep for a brief visit. The Sun City News was delighted to provide an escorted tour of the heritage listed location. Ms Lloyd was shocked to see the lack of restoration and the general unkept state of the surrounding land, after there had been so many commitments by the City of Wanneroo over a number of years. Even though Ms Lloyd resides in the Canary Islands, she has been following the City of Wanneroo’s progress or lack of progress since they first announced their intention to restore the heritage building.

On the City of Wanneroo web site it states the project is at the ‘concept plan development stage’, Ms Lloyd said it’s been at this stage for probably at least the last five years and I fear the council just wants to knock it down and lose an important part of the region’s important history. Ms Lloyd, said she had access to an array of photos from the original homestead all the way back to the original construction in 1926. “I think the homestead is perfectly located to make a wonderful park with a community facility where the public can access the original photos, letters and details of the local history of Mary Lindsay,” Ms Lloyd said. In fact, Ms Lloyd will be forwarding several photos from the Lindsay homestead to the Sun City News - This local history will be published later in the year.

On the Heritage Council of Western Australia’s web site it states in 1926, Mary Janet Lindsay purchased 23,000 acres of land previously owned by the Midland Railway Company who had been granted the land following the construction of the railway to Geraldton in 1894. The family lived in tents while the Bunning Brothers built the homestead - Some of the material used to build the homestead are believed to have been salvaged from the wreck of the Alex T Brown.

Three weeks ago, the Sun City News invited City of Wanneroo administration staff to meet with Ms Lloyd to discuss the project and pass-on additional history of the great lady. Council staff requested to be notified the morning of the meeting with Ms Lloyd at the homestead, but when notified, no one turned up or even bothered to return the phone call. Council provided the Sun City News with a six sentence statement that stated: “Public open space, children's play equip-

ment and community BBQ facilities are just some of the options proposed for the future redevelopment at the Mary Lindsay homestead site. “The open space redevelopment is being considered in the 2015/16 financial budget as part of the City's 10 Year Capital Works Plan. “Significant funding to design and restore the homestead building will be considered as part of Council’s budget process with construction proposed over a two year period.

“In accordance with the masterplan, the restored homestead building will become a community arts and culture hub for use by local community groups including the Two Rocks Yanchep Arts and Culture Network. “The City of Wanneroo has cleared the site of illegally dumped waste and old building materials, and in recent months the City has constructed a pathway to allow for better access down to the beach.”

From the council agenda Last week’s City of Wanneroo council meeting was one of the longest for many years Starting at 7.00pm, the meeting finished at 10:08pm. The agenda consisted of five residents’ questions, two elected members’ questions, 28 separate reports and five motions on notice. Reports that related to the North Ward included: reconsideration of a proposed liquor store and shopping centre extension at Butler Council reaffirmed its decision of 9 December 2014, meeting not to approve the application submitted. In another complex report, council agreed to receive the revised Cardno report titled, ‘Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club and Public Amenities Facility - Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaption Plan dated November 2014’ endorsing and noting seven features in the report. Cr Sabine Winton had an additional condition added to administration’s recommendations to seek a further report on the completion of the detailed design of the facility currently scheduled for end of August 2015, addressing the long term provision of the surf lifesaving facility including the whole of life cost and its

renewal at the end of the design life to ensure continuous provision of a surf lifesaving facility in Yanchep. In the very next report the council considered, they unanimously agreed to accept the tender submitted by Lycopodium Infrastructure for the provision of architectural services for design, development and contract administration of the Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club building for the fixed lump sum of $254,580. The council, also agreed to note that the City's 10-Year Capital Works program would be updated to reflect the required increase in budgeted funding for the Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club facility. No construction start date or completion date was provided. In another report, the council agreed not to proceed with its proposed Butler Train Station Precinct parking strategy consisting of the installation of parking prohibitions or the issuing of residential parking permits. They did agree to instal parking prohibition signs in Exmouth Drive, to facilitate the safe operation and movements of Transperth buses at the train station.

In the ‘Review of Wards and Representation’ report, council agreed to three wards being established - North Ward was renamed to North Coast with five councillors; Central Ward with four councillors; and South Ward with five councillors starting in time for the upcoming October 20215 council elections. Current North Ward councillor, Linda Aitken was the only councillor to vote against the report. The Sun City News understands Cr Aitken preferred the existing North Ward because it follows similar to the state seat of Butler, which she has already declared herself a candidate. In the 2013 state election, Cr Aitken was defeated by John Quigley in a redistribution of the electorate. The state electorate of Butler is now spread across two City of Wanneroo wards, making it more difficult for Cr Aitken to profile herself. In the first motion of notice considered by the council, Cr Dot Newton had unanimous support for her request for administration to prepare a proposal to install signs on approach to playground areas stating that dogs must be kept on a leash and report back in September 2015.

In Mayor Tracy Roberts’ motion on notice, she requested the Mayor (herself) to write to the Premier Colin Barnett, requesting that the extension of Mitchell Freeway from Hester Avenue to Romeo Road be included in the currently planned extension to Hester Avenue. Cr Brett Treby presented the last two motions on notice The first related to the development of a SAT policy, requesting administration to report back to council no later than June 2015. In Cr Treby’s second motion, he received unanimous support for the development of a suitable structure in the vicinity of Warradale Park, Landsdale, in commemoration of Sam Trott with $150,000 to be considered in the draft 2015/16 budget and the establishment of the Landsdale Memorial Working Group.

Next meetings The Shire of Gingin’s next council meeting will be held on Tuesday 17 March, starting at 3.00pm. The City of Wanneroo have a briefing session scheduled for 6.00pm on Tuesday 24 March. The council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday 31 March at the Phil Renkin Centre, starting at 7.00pm.

Atlantis development - social media speaks out Last week Channel 9 news ran a four minute advertorial piece about the Atlantis Beach development and Atlantis Marine Park. The news clip was also published on You Tube and Channel 9’s Facebook page with over 45,000 viewings. It didn’t take long for social media to attack the comments made about the Atlantis Beach development. Annabelle Basilio Jay posted: “Wow wot a disappointment! I thought they were going to say Atlantis was going to get a make over and restored back to the beautiful theme park it once was! “I remember as a child the joy I had going there. At least it would've brought more tourism to WA as we a short on theme parks. “But land development? Seriously? Whoop di do! It's not going to attract 99 per cent of people.” Lynette Harris posted: “Can`t you leave the land alone? Stop! Stop the influx of people into Australia and/or the city and then it won’t be necessary for more development of housing. “When does it stop? Surely this iconic landmark could of been used for something else, eg open space, or a park with the trees and natural bush intact that everyone could use etc. “Enough of bulldozing every shred of natural habitat for

housing for homo sapiens and leave it for the wildlife.”

Who is Nick Perrignon?

Kate Brown’s post said: “The footage of what that park used to be makes me sick.

In September 2012, Nick Perrignon and Jarrod Rendell, started Acumen Development Solutions to be able to provide project management and development consultancy services to landowners.

“They should rip down that weird merman and the dolphin statues, why keep the remains of such a cruel abusement park? “I wouldn't want that ugly thing looking down on my house. Two Rocks is such an odd place, will be interesting to see the changes over the upcoming years with all the development going on.” Rebecca Jordan’s post said: “Such a shame the block sizes are so small it would be nice to have a proper family size home and land package.” Jane Forrester Miskelly posted: “More houses, as if there is not enough development up here, why not restore the marine park to its former glory, we need something like that up here.” The Sea Shepherd & Environmental Activism group posted: “Atlantis Beach - A piece of WA's history is being given new life. Atlantis Marine Park was a family favourite in the 1980s, and now a new development is drawing crowds of a different kind.” Many of the social media comments ‘canned’ the Altlantis Beach story - When social marketing goes wrong, the message gets lost with uncontrollable results.

Nick Perrignon has held senior positions with some of Australia's largest ASX-listed companies in the property sector including Cedar Woods, Australand, Stockland and Satterley Property Group. Nick Perrignon, from Acumen Development Solutions, who manage the Atlantis Beach project said: “The Channel 9 story has been a wonderful way to remember the history of Two Rocks, the Atlantis Beach project is going very well, and strongly supported by local community, living on the beach at Atlantis Beach is aspirational for many people.”

revitalised tourist attraction. Fini and Acumen are sharing the cost.

Acumen Development Solutions is a specialised development consultancy business that has the contract to manage the Capricorn Village Joint Venture which includes Atlantis Beach.

Currently, the Acumen Group is looking for local people from Two Rocks to join a new volunteer group to increase security and help protect King Neptune from further vandalism and antisocial behaviour.

The King Neptune statue and surrounding land is owned by the Fini Group, which has an agreement with Acumen to clean up and maintain the statue as a

To register your interest in joining this group, email info@atlantis beach.com.au or call Margie Rose on 0425 859 542.

The Atlantis Beach development starts at the back-end of Blaxland Avenue and will over 20 odd years wraparound the existing Two Rocks townsite, but never impede onto any of the land where the old Atlantis Marine Park was located for nearly ten years during the 1980s.

n In 2000, Nick worked with Australand as the WA general manager. n 2002, he took up the position of WA general manager for Stockland, Nick transferred to Queensland to manage Stockland's largest residential business n By 2007, he was appointed as Stockland's chief operating officer for Residential Communities. n In July 2009, Nick returned to WA managing strategic planning and growth for Satterley Property Group. n October 2013, Capricorn Village Joint Venture (CVJV) announced they were moving to an out-sourced project delivery model for the Capricorn Village and Two Rocks project and appointed Acumen.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK One of America’s finest newspaper men recently commented to me that the Sun City News was one of the best local newspaper he had ever seen. Ken Blum said: “The Sun City News is a fine bi-weekly newspaper that serves its readers with distinction. The strong and varied news coverage and commentary separates the paper from its competitors.” I was delighted to recently receive an extensive report from Mr Blum and his views about the Sun City News - He was delighted at the way we live in the community, employ local

people, engage with the community, and involve the community in the publication. To me, as the editor/publisher, I appreciate these type of comments and it only encourages me to do more to build an even stronger local paper.

program that provides them with extra benefits. I feel the next three months are going to be some of the most exciting in the history of the Sun City News.

From Day One, nearly 18 years ago, my objective has been to create a local newspaper that provides the best local news coverage possible.

If any readers or advertisers have any suggestions they would like to put to me or the Sun City News crew, please feel free to contact me, email: terry@ suncitynews.com.au or 0414 425 858.

My philosophy has always been, the more the local community are involved in their local newspaper, the stronger the community grows.

FROM FACEBOOK . . . Disappointed I spend a lot of time down at Gloucester house at the Yanchep National Park with my kids doing both ballet and another amazing program called little gummuts. Every time I go, I get a little sad to see the dilapidated state of the pool and surrounds I grew up enjoying. It's such a shame to see this old facility run down and the memories it brings of weekends spent and school swimming and swimming lessons. Why had there never been a revamp or a decision to redo this area.

In an area like ours this national park could be so much more and a facility like this could really bring in more people more park passes for locals and could really thrive. It's such a beautiful spot that has so much potential and yet nothing! Jason Brown, Yanchep.

Thanks Wanneroo I would like to mention City of Wanneroo’s (CoW) refuse collection. I would like to thank the CoW for their prompt action in emptying my bins.

Last week, a truck was parked outside my place when the bin men came to empty. Obviously obstructing them from doing their job. I went out sometime later to find bins still full. I rang CoW refuse department, explained situation, they told me to leave bins on verge and they would do their best to sort it. After returning home the next day, I found my bins had been emptied - So would like to thank them. Alanah Ashfield, Yanchep.

OPINIONS Concerned resident

I read with interest the article about peppermint trees, I must say I agree with everything the person said, it seems to me the developers and City of Wanneroo have a total disregard for local people who have lived in the area for many years. As usual it’s all about making money, City of Wanneroo don’t seem to give a fig about Yanchep and Two Rocks, they have allowed the area to run down for years. The developer at Atlantis Beach is advertising the estate as ‘on the beach’, what a joke. It might be within one and a half kilometres from the beach but there is no access to the beach for at least three kilometres - They should be forced to be more honest. When developers finish selling the land all the rules go away with them and the development starts to deteriorate, like Capricorn, untidy parks - Scruffy verges, etc, mainly because they have been handed over to the City of Wanneroo who don’t care about doing anything up here, but they are happy to take our rates though. Name and address provided.

Another response Whilst it wasn’t mentioned that areas should be cleared or trees destroyed, the scare mongering about the possible fire hazard near Bethanie and the story about the Peppermint Trees is disturbing. As stated, fire fighters constantly check and clear spaces of natural bush of undergrowth and rubbish.

Nothing prevents locals from doing the same. With our police monitoring the area, undesirable behaviour is limited and one always has the option of calling the authorities on 131 444 to report anything suspicious.

There are many examples of the beautiful shady Peppermint trees in Kings Park and one cannot imagine that they would be removed because someone thinks they are a destructive weed. Charnwood Park and the Yanchep National Park boast many beautiful specimens which are well maintained. These trees take very long to mature and can be maintained to remain at reasonable heights. Whilst they can be invasive if planted close to buildings, commonsense should be applied and advice obtained, before planting. We already have so few natural spaces and trees left in the Yanchep/Two Rocks area that we should seriously consider saving every tree and area of natural environment possible. Residents should also undertake to plant as many native trees as possible and should remember that they can obtain one tree per year from the City of Wanneroo. Parks with lawn will never replace the natural bush which used to surround us. Let’s also consider the damage we have already done to our local wildlife and try to at least maintain the bit we have left. Lynnette Nabholz, Yanchep.

All children precious To me, every child's life is precious. We are losing too many of them. Every young life lost before their time is truly heart-breaking and my heart goes out to all parents that lost a young child. A precious life was lost in Landsdale. Now, I believe, Mayor Tracy Roberts, and the councillors of the City of Wanneroo, has pledged and voted, to erect a $150,000 permanent memorial to this lost child. The part of me, that only wants to see the good in people, is thinking what a wonderful gesture. Good on you! Then the cynical part of me takes over. It has a lot of questions that it needs answering. Why now, with so much publicity and photo opportunity? Almost election time? Where is the money coming from at this time? There are that many issues that need to be resolved and money is tight. Or is it? Will all parents, that lose a young child in such tragic circumstances be afforded the same considerations? Is this just a vote grabbing exercise? Why not a tree with a plaque that commemorates this young life donated by the Mayor? That will be a permanent memorial that could grow strong: be a quiet place to reflect and can be appreciated by people and birds. This will cost the Mayor less than $400.

But then, as I say, that is my cynical part. I wonder if you too have a cynical part? Martina Thomas, Two Rocks.

Dogs'poo bags Firstly, a great bravo to Wanneroo for the magnificent new silver staircase to People's Beach (heaven) at Fisherman's Hollow Beach.

WATCH OUT FOR OUR GOLD PROGRAM FOR

Secondly, dogs, leaving their excrement on it! A dog owner derived his dog's entitlement to poo on the people's beach entrance to the fact that, though dogs are forbidden on the sign board on the left, there are newly installed doggy poo bags on the right. Something rings hollow about Fisherman's Hollow. We can't have it both ways: Dog access to people's beach, after all, according to the sign, is forbidden - Surely, the dog poo bags cannot be meant for people's beach people to clean up after these trespassing canines? There is already a proper dedicated dog beach further down south, after all, with its own access. On a more sober thought, what if a dog attacks a young child on the way to the ‘nondog beach’ access path? Or a baby catches a disease through this most unhygienic arrangement?

Royal visit - Concern about council’s progress From front page . . . Many local residents feel this is yet just another project in the North Ward that has been neglected by the City of Wanneroo council and administration. Mayor, Tracey Roberts and council administration are continuously reminding everyone that the northern corridor is the fastest growing region in Australia, but the council, along with the state government are reluctant to fully commit to investing in the heritage of the region or vital infrastructure that is needed. There are at least a dozen projects between the Butler boundary and Two Rocks that have been in the ‘ten year plan’ without getting the proper funding needed. As one Yanchep resident told the Sun City News: “I don’t see any projects in the mayor’s electorate of Mindarie missing out, it’s about time this community got its fair share of projects completed too.”

At present, the City of Wanneroo cannot provide any details of whether the concept plan has been started, or when it will be finished, and when it will be released for public comment. With $500,000 being considered in the next budget, July 2015, there is no guarantee this funding will be approved by the council; therefore no guarantee can be given about any work

starting in 2017/18 as listed on the council’s web site.

guarantee the full funding to the project.

While all these delays exist around the future of the homestead, it continues to deteriorate by neglect, which is just another way of avoiding the project.

Sadly, knowing the council, they’d need to produce another report on how to do that - This is how councils delay projects, create concept plans, consult and redevelop the concept, then more consultation. They keep going around in circles without getting on with the job.

It is time the Mayor and council produced a proper plan that details all the work they are going to do, when it will be done and then

Urban Bushland Council - Lancelin Tourist Park proposal described as debacle The following article was published in the Summer 2015 issue of the Urban Bushland Council’s Bush Telegraph. Back in 2010, the Tourist Commission and Shire of Gingin began the process of the Lancelin Tourist Park proposal along the coastline of Lancelin. A short letter and a couple of signs were erected to notify the public and ratepayers. Thought was that this would just slide on by without too much notice, but they were wrong. There was such a strong outcry from the town that a community meeting was held. Strong points of view were put forward from both sides and unfortunately deep divisions had been created. Then all went quiet until Christmas 2014. Once again a letter and a few signs went up over the Christmas 2014 period explaining this proposal was available for viewing, you need a NASA degree to find it, and again this topic flared amongst the community. We established the Lancelin Save Our Back Beach Facebook page and really pushed trying to get our message out there to all the community of WA. The proposal is a 10ha tourist/caravan park just situated behind the dunal system that runs along the ‘Back Beach’ at the southern part of town. It is an

unstable area exposed to the elements of nature and in the ensuing land behind the dunes is wetlands. Now I’m no expert, so to seek information I have had the privilege of talking to experts in this field, reading research from local councils and federal government and talking to members of the local community. All views point to the fact there are some major environmental concerns with rising sea levels, coastal erosion and encroaching stronger weather patterns. The proposed tourist park would be in the direct firing line of all of these. Should this development go ahead the Shire will risk the infrastructure of the tourist park and surrounding residential buildings from the elements of climate change. The burden financially and socially would have to be picked up by future generations. The Urban Bushland Council has assisted us by commissioning an expert report by Dr Vic Semeniuk, who has identified several significant aspects to the Back Beach area. The cuspate foreland itself has Regional significance. Dr Semeniuk also indicates that ‘the terrain has wetlands in various stages of development and various stages of biodiversity expression.’ Dr Semeniuk has identified that part of the Back Beach used to be ‘dune slacks,’ which are the wet

hollows between coastal dunes where the water table is seasonally near the surface. There are only six active dune slack sites in Western Australia. Although the Lancelin dune slacks are no longer active, they are geologically significant as they represent important stages in the developmental history of these unique formations, and as such are of statewide significance. The Back Beach may not look as spectacular as other places, but we love it. The ecosystems of impoverished soils such as sandplains have been studied at UWA and the Kwongan Foundation, who are currently trying to have large areas of WA – from Shark Bay to Esperance heritage listed with UNESCO. The big push for the Shire is to help the town of Lancelin economically and we understand they need to look at all options, but any short term gains cannot come at the expense of future, larger problems. There is only a small area of native dune habitat remaining within the town itself, this 10ha area being a major part of this proposal. It’s an area that provides true representation of the Lancelin coastal structures for tourists to admire. To bulldoze it for the sake of a few small peak tourist periods a year is a very

short sighted approach and one the Shire of Gingin can stop now for the sake of future generations, We are a very new organisation and are finding our feet. Our Facebook page ‘Lancelin Save Our Back Beach’ is a great place to leave comments or I can be contacted on 0412 412 244.

There is also an online petition, please help us by signing and circulating to your networks: www.change.org/p/shire-ofgingin-stop-the-proposalforlancelin-tourist-park. The article was written by Tommy Cameron. Caravan park map is in the environmental report on the proposed park.

Roadworks should start soon The City of Wanneroo and local developer, Yanchep Beach Joint Venture, are currently developing the design and scope documentation for the Marmion Avenue extension and ground works for the two new Yanchep sporting fields. In a recent City of Wanneroo Infrastructure eNewsletter it stated: “Road works should be starting soon.” State Government ministerial approval had been received for the planning amendment to allow

the City of Wanneroo to collect Developer Contribution Funds to pay for the $7.15 million facility. Mayor Tracey Roberts described the collection of developer contributions to fund North Coast Ward community facilities as a ‘pivitol point’ in the history of the City of Wanneroo. As another councillor stated: “Without this funding source these facilities would likely be funded by debt as rates revenue would not be sufficient to sustain such rapid growth.”

There is also a view that the Developer Contribution scheme is illegal, double taxing home owners in certain suburbs and not other suburbs. It is believed some developers are not happy at the City of Wanneroo’s Developer Contribution Scheme, but reluctant to object. The Sun City News understands the ovals are not expected to be ready by mid to late 2017, the City of Wanneroo web site says the ovals would be ‘available for use in early to mid 2017’.

Let’s keep the flame burning Veterans are making a concerted effort to keep the ANZAC spirit alive in Western Australia. They have mounted a major membership campaign particularly to target younger exservicemen and women who have served since the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. Rolly Sweet, President of the Returned & Services League Yanchep Two Rocks SubBranch, said the sub-branch had produced new membership brochures titled ‘Let’s keep the flame burning’. The sub-branch meets at the Yanchep Sports and Social Club on the second Monday of the month at 11.00am, the secretary can be contacted on 9561 6184 for further details.

“It is not generally understood that membership of the RSL is open to a broad range of people, not just people who have served their country,” Mr Sweet said. “Membership is also open to people who work as nurses, prison officers or for St John Ambulance or numerous other state and commonwealth paramilitary services.” Mr Sweet said the RSL’s voluntary members were extremely grateful for the broad support they received from the community. However, more members were needed to meet the needs of the ANZAC Centenary years - 2015 is a unique year because it will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the landing of ANZAC troops at Gallipoli.

More than one quarter of the Australian soldiers who landed on 25 April, were Western Australian, so this year is of particular significance. About 10 per cent of WA’s total population, or 32,231, volunteered to serve in the First World War 100 years ago, the highest proportion of any State. The Returned & Services League in WA is pulling out all stops to help the community to engage as many people as possible in the ANZAC Centenary. Women and children throughout WA have produced thousands of poppies as a tribute to those who served during the First World War. In all, more than 62,000 Australians and l6,000 New Zealanders were killed in the First World War. Far more were injured.

NBN to Lancelin region About 100 homes, farms and businesses around Lancelin will be connected to fixed wireless internet within 12 months as part of the National Broadband Network. NBN spokesperson, Peter Gurney said altogether 1300 properties in the Lancelin townsite and surrounding areas would get access to the NBN as more construction starts over the next 18 months. “The rollout of the NBN is gaining momentum across the country, providing homes and businesses with access to internet speeds and bandwidth that many in the big cities take for granted.

“We are always considering ways to become more relevant and closer to our communities and the NBN will enable us to achieve this,” he said.

“It can help residents access ehealth services, distance education and entertainment on demand, while businesses have the ability to increase productivity, reduce costs and access new markets,” Mr Gurney said. Shire of Gingin President, Michael Aspinall, said the extension would benefit the Shire, making it more mobile.

A Morning With Rachael Johns West Australian writer, Rachel Johns will be the guest speaker at Guilderton Community Library on Saturday 28 March.

broke up with my first boyfriend, at the time she thought he was ‘the one’ and was hugely devastated in the fashion of all 17 years olds.

Rachael Johns is an English teacher by trade, a mum 24/7, a supermarket owner by day and writer by night.

For some reason unbeknownst to her, she turned to writing as a form of therapy for my broken heart.

Her novels are outback romantic fiction, ‘red dust to the big smoke’.

Rachael was enlightening to realise that with writing she could create whatever ending she liked.

Living in rural Western Australia with her husband and children. All of her stories mention a small country town which each and every one of us will either have visited or heard of. Rachael is a bubbly, effervescent person she will delight everyone who meets her. Ms Johns has been writing since she was 17 when she

“I wrote the story of me and ‘the one’ and actually ended up killing him off,” said Rachael. The writing was therapeutic, the story was cringe-worthy but now Rachael had caught the bug. Almost a decade later, after a Bachelor of Arts with honours, in writing and English and after many,

many attempts at writing different types of novels, Rachael joined Romance Writers of Australia.

Rachael was now written ten book, with her latest, ‘The Road to Hope’ being released in late February.

Finally learning there was more to writing a book than just typing out random thoughts – Rachael learnt about craft, conflict, consistent characters, etc, and she discovered that she loved contemporary romance and that was what she wanted to write.

Join Rachael at the Guilderton Community Library located on the foreshore next to the Visitors Centre between 9:00am and 12noon while enjoying morning tea.

In 2012, Rachael’s debut rural romance, ‘Jilted’ won the Australian Romance Readers Association’s Favourite Contemporary Romance Award.

The Two Rocks Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade have a number of fund-raising activities on the go.

In 2013, she was voted in Booktopia’s Top Ten Favourite Aussie Authors and is currently Australia’s number one rural romance author according to Bookscan Neilson.

Guilderton made a wonderful effort on Sunday 1 March, as they cleaned up our piece of Australia. Despite heavy rain coming in and saturating most of the volunteers, they collected two skip bins of rubbish as well as some big pieces. Seventy-five volunteers cleaned up the road into Guilderton, the riverbanks up to the desert, the foreshore, the beach and road from the groyne and the Silver Creek area. Guilderton Community Association (GCA) hosted a great sausage sizzle at the Country Club to thank everyone. Many thanks to Beldon Scout Group and the navy cadets from TS Canning, the trailer drivers, boat drivers and all the public who helped the GCA members collect all that rubbish. The Shire of Gingin provided the skip bins. Anne and Bevan Gault did all the cooking for the volunteers, while Gillian provided some delicious cakes for dessert.

Capricorn Festival On Saturday 21 March, between 11:00am and 4:00pm, the Capricorn Festival will be held at a new venue - Charnwood Park, on Lisford Avenue in Two Rocks. This free family fun day will include face painting, pony rides, climbing wall, on-stage entertainment, plus community and market stalls and food vendors.

Heroes and Pioneers As part of the National Trust Heritage Festival there will be a ‘Heroes and Pioneers’ day at the old Gingin Railway Station on Sunday 19 April, from 10:00am to 4:00pm.

There will be a 10th Light Horse Regiment display, blacksmith demonstration, history display, plus much more. Presented by the Lions Club of Gingin and Chittering there will be coffees, tea and refreshment available, woodwork creations, alpaca garment display, plus plants and collectables. The Gingin Chittering Lions always put on great community events for the family to enjoy - See you there!

Local NEWS bits all of our photographic secrets in the Behind The Lens section.” The project has been a labour of love with the Illmans traversing Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Rwanda in search of Africa's most amazing wildlife.

Africa on Safari Kym Illman is one of Lancelin’s more colourful locals and over the past few years, he and his wife, Tonya, have spent around 12 weeks a year photographing wildlife around Africa. They plan to publish a 204-page, large format picture book entitled Africa On Safari. The pair launched the project on crowd funding site ‘Kickstarter’ recently with the view to releasing the book in October, this year. Tonya and Kym have become renowned in the photography world for their unique images captured using a range of unusual photographic aids and techniques including remote controlled buggies, hidden cameras and quadcopters. "Photography isn't our primary source of income,” explained Kym, "so in the book we reveal

Their images have already been featured in major newspapers and on the net. Magazines like Africa Geographic, BBC Wildlife, South Africa's Getaway and Australia's Digital Photography have also praised the book's unique content. “Lions have caused some damage to our gear on a number of occasions.” says Kym. “An adult male put his teeth through the rear screen of a Canon 5dMk3 we’d left on a tripod near him, while enthusiastic sub adult males have twice scampered off with the remote controlled buggy. Tonya, walking back to our camp tent one morning, came within three metres of a huge bull elephant while both of us were nearly trampled when a herd of zebra and eland stampeded towards us. In particular, the wide angle, low viewpoint photos stand this collection out from most wildlife offerings. The project can be found online by googling ‘Kickstarter Africa On Safari’.

Drug tested Last weekend numerous drivers were apprehended after providing positive drug results while driving in or through Yanchep.

You’ll be sorry! Was your mother or grandmother or aunt in the Australian Women’s Army Service (AWAS)? Ann Howard is looking to republish two popular books from the 1990s about the AWAS under the title ‘You’ll be Sorry!’ to honour women in the service in World War II. As photos from the original books have been lost, the group needs 16 more photographs of AWAS with their service numbers and a brief story or caption. If you can help, contact Ann Howard at annhoward@ozemail. com.au or 02 9955 2074. People who can provide photos with a small article will be given a honorary copy of the book and photos will be returned.

Celebration Yanchep Golf Club in the Yanchep National Park will commence their Winter season 21 March, tee off time is 11.30am. All new members women and men welcome. Check out their web site at yanchepgolfclub.com.au for full details about the club.

Yanchep Colour Diet at EXPO The World Expo 2015 will be held in Milan, Italy, with the theme ‘Food for the Planet’ from May to October. The worldwide net of international Colour Societies, the Italian Gruppo del Colore has been inviting members to be guest speakers. Local Yanchep resident, Sunny Strobel's paper, on the ‘Colour Diet’ that evolved in Yanchep over the last decade or so has been accepted. The quote that won the judges over stated: “In a little township called Yanchep on the Indian Ocean, near Perth in Western Australia, a local community group developed a natural colour diet: the Yanchep Diet based on the principle of simple

colour-eating-games, with rules firmly based on World Health science and recommendations of the WA government’s Go For 2 & 5.” It means counting colours instead of calories, replacing the outdated BMA index that has proved fruitless in stopping our worldwide obesity epidemic. Sunny Strobel is inviting Yanchepians, St Andrewsians and 2Rockers and anyone interested to lose a few kilos, playfully, to come along to midweek midday workshops in Yanchep. There is also an opportunity to meet her at an open forum on International Colour Day, Saturday, 21 March, between 6:00pm and 6.30pm at the Two

Rocks Forum, between the Neptune's Cafe and the Pickled Herring; then from 6.30pm at the Curry on the Rocks at Two Rocks Shopping Centre.

On Sunday 31 May, the Yanchep Golf Club will celebrate their 50th anniversary - More details soon.

Where are your kids? Yanchep police have spent a considerable amount of time over the last two months addressing youth issues. They are asking parents: “Please don't let your kids roam or loiter.”

Library's open day To celebrate 10 years of operating the Clarkson Library will hold an open day on Saturday 21 March - A full day’s entertainment has be planned for the celebration including face painting, story time and balloon twisting. In addition, there will also be chocolate demonstrations, seedling planting and music from the Harbourside Choir. The open day will commence at 9:00am and conclude at 3:00pm, and will include a cake cutting ceremony at 11:00am. Children will also be able to publish their own books on the day using the book cubby facilities and there will be a fruit and vegetable stall hosted by Healthy Communities. Clarkson Library is located on the corner of Ebb Way and Ocean Keys Boulevard, Clarkson opposite Ocean Keys Shopping Centre.

Consumer Protection is concerned that water absorbing polymer balls, toys and novelty items are posing a serious risk for young children. These polymer balls that are sold in small crystal form, about the size of a dress pin head, were originally designed for the florist industry to hold flowers in place and create a colourful addition to the display. Some of these products are now being purchased and sold as a tactile toy for children. If swallowed, the tiny balls and other items can expand up to four hundred times their original size and have been found for sale in the WA marketplace. Parents should also be aware of the risk. The balls can sometimes be colourful and may look like lollies and be very attractive to a young child. Further information on product safety is available at www.productsafety.gov.au.

Restaurant reviews

Making a good coffee is a work of art. That’s how the old saying goes. But really, there are so many factors to a good coffee: where the beans come from, the roasting process, how the beans are ground, and then how the coffee gets made. And if you want milk, that is a whole other thing to deal with. It all starts, though, with the beans. Taste is affected by all the other stuff, sure, but your base is the choice of bean. Do you want chocolatey, citrus-y, caramel-y, fruity, acidic, florally, smoky, tobacco-y, leathery, honey, herbal, spicy, buttery, nutty, or cola flavour? If you have never even thought about these abjectives before, are you even tasting your coffee, or are you just using it for its caffeine? There is a whole ritual that goes into coffee beans before you even grind them to kick off your own coffee-making ritual.

Federal health spending is forecast to slow, but states face rising bills The narrative for the upcoming budget appears to be in a state of flux. Is it still to be ‘tough love’ or ‘we’re from the government and here to help you’?

projections: two based on whether the 2014 budget measures are implemented and another, labelled ‘previous policy’. Both the report’s ‘proposed policy’ scenario and its ‘currently legislated’ one show a remarkably different outlook for government health spending from previous intergenerational reports.

The framers of the health spending narrative face the same quandary. For the last 15 months all we have heard is the ‘health system is unsustainable’ discourse. However, last week’s Intergenerational Report delivered a confusing prediction: Commonwealth health expenditure will decline over the next two decades. Previous Grattan Institute work has shown health to be the fastest-growing area of government spending. And the reason for the shift in the 2015 Intergenerational Report is not changed assumptions, since the 2015 ones are very similar to those in previous reports.

So, how can this be? The Intergenerational Report looks at the Commonwealth government’s finances, not the whole of the public sector: federal, state and local. It therefore presents only half the

picture and may leave Australians with a warped view of government finances.

Projected health expenditure The Intergenerational Report is organised around three spending

Following a decline in Commonwealth health expenditure over the next couple of decades, the report projects health will account for a much lower proportion of GDP than previously reported.

Budget impact on the states The 2015 Intergenerational Report adopts the same mixed focus as the previous three: it looks both on the economy broadly and the Commonwealth budget specifically. It captures the big picture about ageing, productivity growth, GDP and so on. Yet when it comes to budget impacts, it is truly myopic. It describes the impact on the Commonwealth budget with great clarity but its description of the impact on the budgets of the states and territories is so out of focus as to be non-existent. This doesn’t matter for those areas of government expenditure that are solely the preserve of the Commonwealth, but it has a significant impact in areas of policy where responsibility is shared and there are significant intergovernmental transfers. In 2014-15, the Commonwealth is budgeted to transfer A$46.3 billion to the states as specific purpose payments. Health grants will account for more than a third of the transfers (A$16.4 billion). The 2014-15 budget took an axe to Commonwealth payments to the states for health care. It abruptly terminated grants to states under the ironically named National Partnership Agreements, and, from 2017, sliced more than $1 billion a year from public hospital grants through reduced indexation. Because changes to state grants don’t require Senate approval, these cuts are incorporated in both the Report’s ‘currently legislated’ scenario as well as in ‘proposed policy’. The effect is that the Commonwealth appears to have its health outlays more or less under control. The problem for the states, however, is dire.

Rising health costs Health spending as a share of state taxation revenue has already increased from about 18per cent in 2002, to 28 per cent in 2012. The Premier of New South Wales, Mike Baird, highlighted the health Commonwealth funding shift in a recent interview: “The biggest challenge facing this state and the nation is health funding. And what happened last federal budget is not sustainable. That was, the commonwealth and the federal government said “we are going to allocate a large part of the future growth in health costs from ourselves to the state governments”. “…The states do not have the capacity to meet those health costs on their own.” The states have been sharing more and more of the hospital cost burden. In 2000-2001 the state share of public hospital costs was 51 per cent. By 201213 it had risen to 59 per cent. Projections of health spending growth in 2008 predicted that state spending would double, in real terms, between 2012-13 and 2032-33. It was obvious this was not sustainable. A new National Health Reform Agreement was negotiated and signed by the Commonwealth and all states and territories. A specific objective of the agreement was to: “ensure the sustainability of funding for public hospitals by increasing the Commonwealth’s share of public hospital funding through an increased contribution to the costs of growth.” That agreement was ripped up in the 2014 budget. Slashing more than A$1 billion a year from state hospital revenues, as the 2014 Commonwealth budget did, will exacerbate the pressures state governments already face. The Commonwealth has simply improved its position by hurting that of the states. Shifting a problem does not solve it. The 2015 Intergenerational Report, like its predecessors, gives only half the picture of health-care spending. If these reports are to continue, they must take a broader, national perspective, not merely the Commonwealth’s own interest.

Property news Housing affordability falls, but renting improves Earlier this week, the Real Estate Institute of Australia’s (REIA) released their quarterly report into housing affordability and there were worsening levels across the nation. The Adelaide Bank Housing Affordability Report, released last week, provided a comprehensive analysis of the property sector in Australia and looks at long-term trends to ensure a better snapshot of the housing market. REIA chief executive officer, Amanda Lynch, said the latest data showed a drop in housing affordability nationally, with the proportion of income required to meet loan repayments increasing by 1.1 per cent points to 31.5 per cent. “Housing affordability is now at its lowest levels since the March quarter of 2013. “In every state and territory, housing affordability has worsened as a result of strong rises in property prices but only modest increases in income,” Ms Lynch said. President of the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia, David Airey, said the proportion of income required to meet loan repayments in WA was up slightly from 25.9 to 26.1 per cent. “Interestingly, the latest data from the Office of State Revenue shows that the number of first home buyers in January was roughly the same as January last year, but the median purchase price for first time buyers had dropped around $20,000 to $429,000 over the same period. “It looks like the change to the stamp duty exemption in 2013 has pushed a greater number of first time buyers to $430,000 or below, which is the threshold to avoid this tax,” Mr Airey said. There was better news for renters in REIA’s report, with the latest quarterly data showing rental affordability improving with the proportion of income required to meet rental payments decreasing slightly to 24.8 per cent. “This is quite obvious across metropolitan Perth which has seen typical rents come down by 20 to 30 dollars over the last year, or more in some areas, with lots of vacancies.

“The Report establishes a very compelling case to review the constant revenue slide and that responsible tax reform will enable the Government to achieve its goals and ensure that all Australians can continue to live a healthy and prosperous life. “In several sections, the Report clearly states that a better tax system would help Australia to take advantage of global opportunities and improve economic growth without having to rely on bracket creep or increased corporate taxes,” Ms Lynch said. The Intergenerational Report gives further weight to the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia’s 2015/16 pre-budget submission, released earlier this week, which calls for tax reform and cautions against targeting the property sector with increased taxes. REIWA's submission urges the State Government not to lift stamp duty rates for buyers or lower the threshold which sees most first home buyers exempt from the tax. “Additional costs would be a disincentive for buyers and slow the market further; it’s a false economy in regards to raising revenue,” REIWA President David Airey said. Ms Lynch said REIA believes that tax reform can achieve the Government’s aims, as presented in the Intergenerational Report, to improve productivity and increase workforce participation. “REIA has long argued for the Government to review the GST and abolish inefficient taxes, including stamp duty, that hinders labour mobility and places a constraint on the economy. “The Government’s much anticipated White Paper on Taxation Reform will be crucial in adding a significant piece to the jigsaw of Australia’s future,” Ms Lynch said. The Intergenerational Report is released every five years by the Australian Government to assess the long-term sustainability of current policies and how changes to Australia’s population size and age profile may impact on economic growth, workforce and public finances over the next 40 years.

Market Snapshot

“REIWA property managers have reported a sharp jump in new leases during February as more people chose to enter the rental system on the back of better prices,” Mr Airey said.

In this week’s Perth Market Snapshot, reiwa.com data shows there was a 13 per cent fall in reported activity with house and multi-residential sales down 14 and 19 per cent respectively following the long weekend.

REIWA data currently puts the Perth rental vacancy rate at 4.1 per cent with around 6,230 properties untenanted.

Reported sales south of the river were down 16 per cent to 288, while north of the river fared a little better, down 11 per cent to 324.

“This is about 1,500 properties more than we’d expect under normal conditions,” Mr Airey said.

Listings have stabilised at around 13,500 for the past two weeks, which is a 12 per cent increase from the seasonal low of just over 12,000 earlier this year.

Intergenerational Report identifies need for tax reform

Increases in listings have been far from uniform. The two coastal corridors increased greater than the overall market with northwest up 14 per cent and southwest up 15 per cent.

The Australian Government released its 2015 Intergenerational Report – Australia in 2055, last week, identifying that expenditure in health and education was not sustainable under existing policy settings. Following the release of the Intergenerational Report, the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) has called on the Government to commit to substantial tax reform. REIA chief executive officer, Amanda Lynch, said the Intergenerational Report shows that if policies, including taxation arrangements, remain unchanged, it will result in an ever widening gap between expenditure and revenue. “The Report also indicates that under the Government’s proposed policy settings, Australia’s underlying cash balance can be brought into surplus around 2019/20.

Several central sub-markets had notable increases, with the City of Perth and Stirling West increasing 23 per cent and the Western Suburbs up 21 per cent. In the outer sub-markets, Joondalup South and Kwinana were the big movers lifting 24 and 40 per cent respectively. Rental listings remain stable despite a 23 per cent drop in new leases to 988.

Our editor will be taking to the streets for personal conversations with our readers as part of a ‘Community Reader Project’ we are establishing annually. The primary reason is to know exactly who are our readers. We want to find out first-hand what you, the reader, want to see in the newspaper. Do you want more coverage of local meetings?

In addition to speaking to readers, the Sun City News will be writing about their experiences meeting local residents and echoing some of the responses we received. The very nature of a local community newspaper

demands we serve our local residents to the best degree possible. While we continually revise and enhance our coverage of local events, places and people, we will be contacting our readers for their specific needs. Unfortunately we cannot cover every story taking place across the region, but with your help we will continue to strive for excellence in serving our community.
