CLOSED The last campers and visitors to Club Capricorn Resort departed late last month, most of the saleable goods and chattels have been auctioned off and the entry way to the resort fenced off. A number of people contacted the Sun City News wondering what happened to the Koi fish in the reception area garden? And, what has happened to the Mark Le Buse sculptures?
the organisation managing the Capricorn Yanchep and Atlantis Beach projects said: “The Le Buse sculptures are still on site, we will be liaising with City of Wanneroo about where they may best be positioned in the future.”
The Sun City News understands the Koi fish have been relocated to Pinnaroo Valley Memorial Park in Padbury.
City of Wanneroo confirmed that Club Capricorn is listed on the City of Wanneroo’s Municipal Heritage Inventory as a Category 3. This means that the land owners are strongly encouraged to retain and conserve if possible the significance of the place. Demolition of Category 3 places is discouraged.
Relocating the Le Buse sculptures is a more complex issue - Nick Perrignon from Acumen Development Solutions,
Any demolition of a site on the Municipal Heritage Inventory requires planning approval of the council.

Nursery agrees to pay back $30,000 WA’s largest wholesale nursery, Benara Nursery in Carabooda, has agreed to pay back nearly $30,000 to eight employees over unlawful wage deductions they had to pay to live in a cramped house that stank of fertiliser. Benara Nurseries, is revamping its workplace practices after the Fair Work Ombudsman found several of its policies were both unlawful and unreasonable.
discovered that Benara Nurseries gave jobs to some overseas workers who were willing to live onsite at the nursery premises in Safari Place, Carabooda. Up to 16 workers lived in a fourbedroom house with only one kitchen, two showers and four toilets for which they each had to pay $450 a fortnight.
Eight employees from Taiwan and Hong Kong, in Australia on working holiday visas, had complained about unreasonable and unauthorised deductions from their wages for rent.
If that accommodation was permanently filled with a rotation of visa workers, that would equate to a maximum monthly rent of $14,400, making it one of the more expensive rental properties in WA with a potential annual return of $172,800.
After Fair Work inspectors launched an investigation, they
The affected workers complained about cramped conditions, lack of
privacy, unreasonably high rent and discomfort from the odour from a nearby fertiliser factory. The Fair Work Ombudsman, Natalie James, found that while the parent company, Quito Pty Ltd, may have had verbal agreement from the workers to deduct rent from their wages, the deductions were unlawful without a written agreement signed by each employee. “We have requested the company reimburse the eight former employees almost $30,000 for unlawful deductions made from their wages between May and October last year,” she said. “We have also requested an undertaking from the company
Quito has agreed to the request as part of an Enforceable Undertaking it has signed with the Fair Work Ombudsman as an alternative to litigation. Ms James said the EU ensures that when the company made deductions for rent from employees in the future, it would be at commercial rates for safe, legally compliant accommodation.

City of Wanneroo North Ward councillor, Linda Aitken, is reported to have told the June TRYRA meeting that due to the early commencement of Mitchell Freeway any works relating to the construction of Wanneroo Road, Nerrabup Road Flynn Drive intersection at this time would be sacrificial and therefore the city had decided not to resume works. The construction program provided by Main Roads WA indicates that roadworks on Wanneroo Road adjoining Flynn Drive will commence from October 2015, and the new intersection was scheduled to be completed by October 2016.
On Monday 6 July, Shire of Gingin held a special meeting to consider and adopt their 2015/16 budget.

The budget was prepared with a seven per cent rate increase with one per cent ($73,481)
being set aside in a new reserve for future infrastructure requirements.
Next Tuesday’s City of Wanneroo council meeting will be held Alexander Heights Community Centre at 18 Linto Way, Alexander Heights, starting at 7.00pm. This is the final of the ‘Council on Tour’ in the months leading up to the mayoral and half council elections. The 510 page agenda, contains 31 different reports including five reports to be considered behind closed doors. In addition, Crs Brett Treby and Linda Aitken, each have a Motion on Notice for deliberation.
Four properties on the Lancelin beachfront have been found to encroaching outside their property boundary. The Shire said it would enter into an agreement with the
respective owners, requiring them not to further encroach on public land; and no claims of ‘adverse possession’ shall be made; and accept all liability and costs for the areas which they have encroached.
Local council elections are looming with various interested parties seeking financial contributions to help them with their election advertising campaign. Anyone interested in running for local government, unlike state and federal government, are restricted in what they can commit to do, if they are elected. Federal and state politicians can promise to do anything to win your vote, local council candidates are very restricted in what they can promise. It is easy to see why there is minimal interest in council elections.
Classes keep going For the past 18 months, or thereabouts, many local residents have been attending ‘fitness classes’ at the Phil Renkin Centre in Two Rocks on Tuesdays and Fridays. Last week, the Sun City News was contacted regarding the sudden ending to the classes, mostly attended by ladies between 18 years old to 80 years. The media, including the Sun City News, were contacted with a photo opportunity organised.
The Sun City News contacted the City of Wanneroo seeking clarification about the future of these fitness classes. The Sun City News was told: “The Tuesday and Friday fitness classes are continuing as per normal timetable and are not ending. The City is contacting participants to reassure them that the classes are continuing.” Then, 24 hours later, the photo op was cancelled, citing a statement was released by the City of Wanneroo late Monday afternoon, stating:
“For privacy reasons the City of Wanneroo does not speak about individual employees. However, speaking generally the City has recruitment and auditing processes to make sure employees are suitably qualified for the positions they hold. “The popular program continues to operate as normal. Some participants have contacted the City with concerns about them ceasing. This is not the case and the City has contacted participants to reassure them that classes are continuing.”
Fine for selling vehicles An unlicensed car dealer was fined $3,000 and ordered to pay costs of $3,400 by the Joondalup Magistrates Court on Friday 10 July. Robert Mark Thompson of Carramar, had purchased 18 vehicles and sold 15 between October 2012, to April 2014, without having a licence as required by the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act. Mr Thompson was found guilty after Magistrate Gluestein rejected the defence argument that his activities were a hobby
rather than a business involved in the buying and selling of motor vehicles.
Commissioner for Consumer Protection, Anne Driscoll, said the Department was determined to stamp out unlicensed dealing. “These backyard dealers represent a real danger to the community because their vehicles can be sub-standard and the usual warranty and other consumer protections are not available to the buyer involved in these transactions,” Ms Driscoll said.
“I urge consumers not to deal with unlicensed dealers and report their activities to Consumer Protection so action can be taken.” Consumers can check whether a motor vehicle dealer is licensed by searching on the Consumer Protection website: www.commerce.wa.gov.au/cp/ licencesearch. Unlicensed motor vehicle dealing can be reported by emailing consumer@ commerce.wa.gov.au or by calling 1300 304 054.

Kids helping homeless

Delys celebrates
Children from Yanchep Kidzbiz Preschool are learning all about looking after others and caring for people less fortunate. Recently the parents and children donated items for the Perth Homeless Support Group (PHSG), a charity organisation that pre-school teacher, Helen Irwin is involved with. All the toiletries, food and clothing will go out to the homeless in the city with PHSG in the next few weeks. The children enjoyed sorting all the donations and counting them too. Yanchep Kidzbiz children are also looking forward to a visit from the local police and fire service as part of their Early Years Curriculum.
New play equipment at lagoon Each year the City of Wanneroo puts aside funds to replace old and worn play equipment, among other things. At the moment, existing equipment at the park next to the Yanchep Lagoon cafe is being removed and similar new equipment will be installed within a couple of weeks of removal. The play equipment at Leemans Landing, which is showing signs of rusting/corrosion is also scheduled to be replaced. At Charnwood Park in Two Rocks, new equipment and a shade sails are to be installed. Photo: Lagoon park fenced off while new play equipment is installed.
Long time Yanchep resident, Delys Wheeler, recently celebrated her 65th birthday with an exhilarating ‘hot laps’ at Barbagallo Raceway in a Super V8. After the high-speed fun, Delys said: This has been something I’ve wanted to do for the past five years, my next wish is a ride on a Harley.
Little library launch Next Tuesday, Yanchep will be welcomed into the worldwide `Little Free Library’ movement, with the opening of a special library that will bring big benefits for locals and visitors. The library was built by local businessman, David Bowen, who volunteered his time and materials to create the structure. Yanchep’s Little Free Library will be open 24 hours a day outside the Yanchep Community Centre. Little Free Libraries offer users free access to books on an honour system, without the need for a library borrower’s card. Books are provided `in good faith’ in the hope that users will return a book for every one they take. Everybody is welcome to attend the library’s official launch on Tuesday 21 July, at Yanchep Community Centre starting at 10.00am. Visitors are asked to bring a book to donate and swap at the library and will be warmed by a hearty winter soup, made by a local volunteer.

Your letters and emails Always remembered The Two Rocks Red Cross would like to express their sorrow on the passing of Jan Guy, last week. Jan was a valuable volunteer, organiser and coordinator of the Red Cross, Two Rock shop from 1997 - 2011 when she moved to Albany to be with her family. Jan had been suffering with illness for some time but will be best remembered for her humour, strong character and admired by many of our customers. Red Cross Branch, Two Rocks.
Thank you I want to thank very much all those people, unknown to me, who helped to bring about the heritage listing nomination for Mark Le Buse’s ‘King Neptune’ sculpture - Thank you! I have sent copies of the Sun City News front page article to Mark’s four children, all living in Hawaii, so that they can know of this West Australian honour. Jill Le Buse, Two Rocks. Editor’s note: Contrary to rumours, Jill is not in a nursing home, she is loving living in her home in Two Rocks.
What a fizzer! The rumours and garbage some people dribbled about after the shadow Minister for Education, Sue Ellery, was supposedly ‘miss-quoted’. I was stunned to read that she wasn’t miss-quoted, but a minor
judgment of wording in the paragraph prior to her quotes. I wonder just how many rumour mongers have found bird droppings on their face. At least the Sun City News isn’t afraid to publish what most of us are thinking, but are too scared to say it publicly. Name and address supplied.
Donations I am gravely concerned at the various ways elected members and mayors of local government go about fundraising for their election campaign. There are many devious ways a candidate can raise $1000s and not declare one cent - Third party fundraisers should be fully declared. Just about every council brags about ‘open and accountable’, yet most fail to declare their election campaign fundraising. It’s time the State Government reviewed the Local Government Act and made all candidates fully accountable about their election fundraising. My second concern is how many land developers contribute to various election funds via a fancy function or dinner; and the general ratepayer is unaware. Honest government starts with open full declarations regarding all election fundraising. Disgruntled voter. Name and address supplied.

Ashes scattered at favourite fishing spot
Fred Sturman, affectionately known as ‘Fisherman Fred’ passed away in December 2010, twenty-two days short of his 102nd birthday; his wife, Marge passed away earlier this year, aged 99. Recently, their ashes were combined and scattered in the sand dunes above Fred’s beloved favourite fishing spot ‘Kingy Hole’.

Perry loses battle Dr Perry was the inaugural chief executive of YBJV from its start until November 2013, and was involved in many local community activities initiatives. Dr Perry was a life member of Rugby WA, UWA Rugby Club and the WA Rugby Referees Association. In 2012, he was presented the Order of Australia (AM) for his services to rugby in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list. Former Capricorn Village Joint Venture chief executive officer, Dr Russel Perry (68), died earlier this week after battling motor neurone disease.
The award also recognised his service to the community in urban design, and to the education and training sector.
Dr Perry was the senior executive responsible for two award winning property developments, Ellenbrook and Yanchep Capricorn. He was a former station manager of Channel Seven Perth and one time senior executive with Bond Media. He was also a member of the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal, and held the position of chairman of the Governing Council for the West Coast Institute of Training. Dr Perry is survived by his wife, Felicity, and two daughters, Elizabeth and Philippa.
Backing local farmers
Gingin Community Bank Senior Branch Manager, Stephen Fidge said the local branch network enjoyed having the opportunity to support the region’s farming sector.
As the only Australian-owned and operated dedicated agribusiness bank in the country, Rural Bank is backing farmers and the farming community in conjunction with local Bendigo Bank and Community Bank branches.
“As a member of the Northern Valley community, we understand the seasonal challenges and opportunities that local farmers are presented with,” Stephen said.
A member of the Bendigo Bank family, Rural Bank is operated entirely from Australian shores providing a range of tools that work for the financial demands of all farmers.
“Whether it is for capital improvements, seasonal input purchases or expanding land holdings, Rural Bank’s financial tools provide the flexibility to make quick decisions based on individual needs at any particular time.
Rural Bank’s partnership with local Bendigo Bank and Community Bank branches ensures ease of access to specialist farm finance solutions and expertise in the community and on the farm, as well as contributing to the local community via Community Bank branches. Rural Bank Relationship Manager, Susan McCalman said Rural Bank’s close association with Bendigo Bank and Community Bank branches in the area provides a local platform from which to help agribusinesses in the region succeed. “The Gingin, Lancelin, Bindoon and Bullsbrook branches of Bendigo Bank share our understanding of the unique needs and demands of farming customers and communities in the Northern Valley region,” Susan said.
“We are backing farmers to help them harness seasonal opportunities and contribute to overall growth in the area.” “When you choose Rural Bank, you can be confident that you are supporting the local community and country Australia while being backed by the security of a successful, well-managed financial institution,” Susan said. Susan and fellow Relationship Manager, Jeff Lycett offer local understanding and a wealth of banking experience, including extensive expertise with a diverse range of farming enterprises.
And when you bank with your local Community Bank branch you’ll be helping your community to prosper, by keeping local money and local business in your community – that’s good news for everybody. “The Community Bank network has returned more than $130 million to local communities across Australia since the first branch opened in 1998.” To find out more about Rural Bank’s specialist farm finance tools, contact your local Community Bank or Bendigo Bank branch, or call Susan McCalman on 0427 617 636 or Jeff Lycett on 0417 448 341 to arrange an on farm visit.

Holiday let campaign success The Shire of Gingin’s campaign to register holiday let properties throughout the region, which began earlier this year, has been positively responded to by over 100 property owners.
campaign originally came from an incident last year in the Gingin Shire when a balcony collapsed at a holiday let property and several people were injured.
The register will enable the Shire to provide owners of holiday let properties information on any changes to building legislation and as well as promotion by the Western Australian Tourism Commission.
“During our investigation we discovered we didn’t know which properties were being used as holiday let accommodation, nor was there any information available for those property owners to assist with self-help and self-regulation.
A total of 107 properties have confirmed they wish to be registered as holiday let accommodation and have undertaken, or are in the process of undertaking, the required works for reclassification under the Building Code of Australia.
“Also, it is vital that any built structure used for commercial holiday let purposes meets the best possible safety standards if the Gingin Shire is to maintain a positive reputation within the tourism industry. We are growing as a tourist destination, particularly on the coast, and we want the peace of mind knowing our visitors are residing in safe accommodation at all times.”
These works include installation of smoke detectors, lighting to assist evacuation, provision of disabled access and electrical protection. Shire of Gingin president, Michael Aspinall said: “The impetus for this
Shire CEO, Jeremy Edwards, added that no Shire fees or charges are associated with the process.
“Short stay accommodation and tourism are important drivers within the Shire and we want to support this industry, not hinder it,” he said. “Additionally, the priority for the Shire is that property owners have access to the required information. The decision to implement anything is purely up to the property owners as they are aware of the use of their property.” As owners confirm that works have been completed details of their property are moved from an interim register to a completed register. The final register will then be placed on record, and those properties indicating a desire to be included on the Tourism WA Register of Holiday Let Properties will be added. More information regarding holiday let registration may be obtained by contacting the Shire of Gingin on 9575 5116 or email mail@gingin.wa.gov.au.
Countdown to science festival
With science presentations and stalls, live music acts and on-stage science demonstrations and experiments, quiz nights and coffee sessions, there will be something for everyone during the festival. Science will even go to the local ‘watering holes’ to shed some enlightenment.
After months on the drawing board, the much-heralded Gingin Science Festival will be launched in August. The brainchild of Winthrop Professor David Blair of the University of WA, the Festival could well usher in a new age of scientific appreciation in the Gingin region. The inaugural festival will be opened officially by the West Australian Governor, Kerry Sanderson on Friday 14 August, in a ceremony at the historic Gingin Railway Station.
Across the Gingin region there will be farm tours and exhibits on offer, ranging from the humble honey bee to awesome angus cattle, lettuce leaves to olive trees, electric fencing to well digging.
This launch also sees the opening of the celebrated Wallal Exhibition, which details the amazing 1922 scientific expedition conducted right here in WA. The expedition party took precise measurements during a solar eclipse and proved correct, once and for all, Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity concerning the ‘bending of light’. The opening ceremony will wind up with a bang when a rocket is launched in Granville Park to mark the occasion. The opening day activities are just the start of a five week long Gingin Science
Who would have thought that there is a big, shiny robot not so quietly going about its business in a Gingin packing shed? All this, and more, will be available to locals and visitors to the festival period. And, there will be more rockets!
Festival, celebrating music, art, food and drink, and all things scientific.
A detailed festival program is available at ginginsciencefestival.com.au, or follow the festival on Facebook.
Fight to save houses at Seabird New work has begun to try and ease coastal erosion in the small fishing town of Seabird, where several houses are just metres away from falling into the sea.

Erosion has posed a threat to residents for the past 15 years, with winter storms whipping up swells that eat away at the coastal embankments houses sit on.
Work on a temporary fix has started in the town after the State Government committed $2 million towards curbing the erosion.
Gingin Shire President Michael Aspinall said locals were pleased to see crews out on the beach preparing to install the concrete.
Moore MP, Shane Love, said concrete slabs would be installed to hold the ground until a permanent solution is decided upon.
Mr Aspinall said the shire would form a committee to investigate potential longterm solutions.

Honouring our veterans
Six members of Yanchep Two Rocks RSL Sub Branch got together recently for a photo shoot with Lynn Gail, a member of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP). Jack Gilchrist, June and Dominic Mulquiney, Ray Krakouer, Jack Wadeisha and David Bower, were taking part in a project called ‘Reflections: Honouring our World War II Veterans’ to commemorate their services given some 75 years ago. The aim of the project is to provide a compelling pictorial record of returned servicemen and women living in Australia for the Australian War Memorial archives. There are more than a thousand world War II Veterans estimated to be living in Western Australia and about 14,000 nationally. The AIPP members, in alliance with the Australian War Memorial and the Returned & Services League of Australia,
are locating veterans who qualify for the project. Many veterans are very frail with limited mobility but family members can register for them with their permission.
Yanchep-Two Rocks RSL Sub-Branch is proud to support and acknowledge the veterans through this project.

Coffee and school with Christian Porter Federal Member for Pearce, Christian Porter, last week visited Lancelin, Guilderton, Two Rocks and Yanchep as part of his regular ‘Coffee with Christian’ program. Mr Porter held Coffee with Christian events at the Lancelin OffShore Café with about 40 local residents; at the Guilderton Café A’Moore with about 10 local residents; and at the Yanchep Full Flava Café with about 20 local residents. Mr Porter said: “Overall there was a strong turnout to the Coffee with Christian events and I was pleased to meet so many local residents and discuss issues affecting our community. “In Lancelin the key issues that arose included tourism infrastructure, including the proposed tourist park and boat ramp; mobile black spots; electricity supply and funding of other local infrastructure. “In Guilderton the residents were keen to discuss the quality of the education system; attracting people to stay in the local area; medical services; age pension changes; immigration and the rollout of the NBN. “And in Yanchep the topics varied greatly from the closure of Club Capricorn; to GST relatives; local security; abuse of the welfare system; the age pension; disability support
payments; terrorism; politician pay; Asian infrastructure; and halal certification.”
Mr Porter also visited the Lancelin Primary School and Two Rocks Primary School where students asked what he was like as a child, his favourite food, about flight times, and ‘Is Tony Abbott bossy? Mr Porter said: “I went to Wembley Downs Primary School, and sat at chairs and tables similar to yours, and wore uniforms very similar to yours. It just goes to show that you can do anything, even become a politician. “I get to do lots of different and interesting things. I get to come and visit kids like you, but I’ve also been given the opportunity to travel overseas.” Mr Porter added: “I’m a Dockers fan. “We fly at all times of the day. Sometimes I stay up all night to fly from Perth to the Eastern States. “Tony Abbott is a very nice guy. He works probably about 15 or 16 hours a day, and as the Prime Minister you are the boss so you have to be a bit bossy. But he is a nice guy, very fit and also a very good surfer.”

In all likelihood this game will be played in Lancelin unless the Pirates lose both of their final two minor round matches and Cervantes wins their final two.
Saturday 25 July
Given that the Pirates have only lost one game this season, chances of them losing their final two against weaker opposition is an outside chance, but if they do and Cervantes wins both of their games, the Tigersharks will host the second semi final.
Growth of the North West Corridor & Opportunities for Small Business forum, 4.00pm at Yanchep Community Centre.
The right to host that final is keenly sought-after. It not only provides the host club with a financial windfall from canteen and bar sales on the day, the home team often has a psychological advantage. A second semi final win also rewards the victor with a week off and direct passage into the grand final. The first semi-final will be played on 7 August, and at this point, it’s likely that Dandaragan will play either Moora or Jurien Bay in Dandaragan.

them the right to take on the Saints in Dandaragan. Under new club president, Warren Luff, Dandaragan have been much improved this year. Jurien Bay started the season poorly but after recruiting some top quality players half way through the season, they have shown patches of brilliance, knocking of last year’s premiers, the Lancelin Pirates, by five goals a few weeks ago. The Pirates have looked even stronger than last year,
