A Lotterywest grant of $500,000 was presented by Premier Colin Barnett to the City of Wanneroo, to assist with the construction of a new Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club.
Over five years ago, the need for a new facility was identified through community-wide consultation. The new facility will include a beach patrol office, first aid room, club and training rooms, and a member gymnasium, as well as public change rooms. Mr Barnett said Yanchep Beach Lagoon was the busiest beach in the City of Wanneroo with Surf Life Saving WA records showing an average of about 130 visitors per hour during peak beach-going periods for the 2014-15 season and up to 700 an hour during the Christmas period. “The new building and its location will significantly improve beach safety services and provide space to conduct training and social activities to build club membership and community partnerships.” The club will service residents, visitors and tourists who visit beaches at Yanchep and Two Rocks where the current population of about 10,000 is expected to quadruple within 20 years. The Premier said the grant was an example of organisations working together to achieve positive outcomes for their local community. “The City of Wanneroo recognised that Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club was a small volunteer organisation providing a vital community service. They have worked closely with the club throughout the project to ensure the design of the facility meets their needs and allows for use by other community groups,” he said. Construction on the new facility begins in January 2016, and is expected to be completed towards the end of 2016.

Concerns about bus stops A number of local residents have expressed concerns about various safety issues at a number of new bus stops - The concrete bus stop platforms have been built adjoining the bitumen roadway on Two Rocks Road and Marmion Avenue in Yanchep. One concerned Two Rocks resident, who didn’t want to be named, told the Sun City News he had contacted the City of Wanneroo, Main Roads WA and local police expressing his concerns and the safety of school children at these bus stops. Concerns include lack of lighting, safety features including reflective markers and pavement markers.

Last month, the City of Wanneroo commented in two letters stating they had conducted a site inspection and there were missing markers and the council will undertake a lighting design review.
community. Should you have any further queries regarding this matter, please contact Main Roads WA on 138 138.
Both letters stated that Main Roads WA and Western Power would need to be consulted and included in developing any plan to improve this safety issue.
Over the past few years, the City of Wanneroo has had a number of projects that have required rebuilding or significant upgrade work to ensure the project is completed safely and as approved.
Each letter concluded with: “The City thanks you for your interest in road safety and your concern for the
Better planning wanted
The biggest error made was with the construction,
then reconstruction of the Yanchep Boardwalk. The council had to find close to $500,000 to reconstruct the boardwalk due to an engineering problem. Everyone wanted traffic lights built at the main entrance to Yanchep Central Shopping Centre, but council didn’t want them - Less than two years later and several serious accidents, the lights are being put in at a cost of around $500,000. Several other road intersections have had to be modified due to poor original
planning, then council revamps the plans and spends thousands more reconfiguring the intersection. Are the City of Wanneroo taking on too many projects and not providing the necessary time and planning to get the project right the first time. For the past five years, the City of Wanneroo have had to carry forward close to 40 per cent of their planned projects due to what some people call ‘poor planning and inability to manage the projects on budget and on time’.

Labor promise rail to Yanchep Last week, Leader of the Opposition, Mark McGowan said: “A McGowan Labor Government will build the Yanchep rail extension as part of METRONET to solve Perth’s congestion crisis and create thousands of jobs.”
City of Wanneroo staff teamed up with playgroups at the Yanchep Community Centre and Western Australian artist, James Foley, to create an intriguing new outdoor play space. The artist has been working with the group since April to bring the ideas of playgroup parents to life. Four workshops have been held to design, paint and build the area. Mr Foley said the multi-sensory environment is designed for two to four year olds to help develop their fine and gross motor skills.
Perth’s outer suburbs are experiencing massive growth. By 2026, the population of Yanchep, Alkimos and Eglington is expected to reach more than 43,600 people.
We need to plan for the Yanchep extension now. In a growing area like this, local families need quality, reliable public transport infrastructure, to connect them to places of work, entertainment and recreation. They need METRONET. METRONET will give thousands of extra commuters
Creative minds unite to design a captivating children’s play area Playgroup children are immersing themselves in a fun, interactive playground made from recycled materials.
Mark McGowan announced that METRONET will be built in affordable stages. Extending the Joondalup rail line to Yanchep will be a priority in WA Labor’s integrated and coordinated transport plan.
The Barnett Government promised to complete the Yanchep extension by 2020. They have broken that promise and the project has now disappeared from the Government’s agenda altogether.

“The project worked so well because of fantastic community support. It’s wonderful to see the changes we’ve achieved together and the play space gives the families who use it a sense of ownership,” Mr Foley said. the opportunity to catch a train, taking thousands of cars off congested roads like the Mitchell Freeway and Wanneroo Road. It will make life easier for people living in the northern suburbs. WA Labor will undertake further analysis, in consultation with the community in Yanchep and surrounding suburbs to determine final routes and the timetable of delivery. WA Labor Leader Mark McGowan: “There is no doubt that the Yanchep extension is needed. It will connect local families to destinations
across and around the metropolitan area as part of METRONET. “Better planning now will make life so much easier for the community in the future. METRONET will make life in our suburbs better and easier.”
Rail = Jobs
If the rail was extended to Yanchep, the growth of employment and business opportunities would increase. Over the past five years, every major manufacturer or business owner that
has visited the area has stated their concerns with the lack of regular transport to the area as the major reasons why they would be concerned about setting up their business in Yanchep. If there was rail to Yanchep, all of a sudden the ‘Satellite City’ become a reality as a major employment region. Even if construction of the rail to Yanchep was fully approved tomorrow, it would take probably at lease five years before it became a realty.
“The vertical garden is filled with edible plants and what’s great is that so many of the materials used for the play space were recycled.”
Slow response On 18 August, the Sun City News submitted a Media Enquiry to the City of Wanneroo about overseas and interstate trips taken by the Mayor and elected councillors. On the 19 August, the City of Wanneroo provided the following response: “What you are seeking is quite detailed, and might take some time, but we’ll do our best to meet your deadline.” Three weeks later and no response, why?

Your letters and emails Thank you On Sunday 30 August, at 1.30am, my son required the service of the local St John ambulance. My wife and I want to say ‘Thank you’ for the quick response in attending to the call and getting him to PMH. Also to the staff at PMH a big thank you as well. Matt Henderson, via email.
Local social media comments August 24 - Old Navy Toyota Camry, sitting outside house. Moved on when disturbed. August 31 - People writing on garage doors - Is it just someone tagging or spots for potential break-ins? September 1 - Don’t get me wrong but are the police actually wasting their time on this? ‘Attempted’ to steal a cardboard cut out - Wrong, yes! Stupid, yes! Worth the time? September 4 - Accident at junction of Yanchep Beach and Wanneroo Road. Minor injuries only. September 6 - Three men trying to steal car in Jindowie by pushing it out of driveway, took off when disturbed. September 6 - Flat tray ute was jacked up and both back wheels stolen in Yanchep.
From the editor I am getting sick or politicians and in particular the Mayor of Wanneroo, Tracey Roberts, whinging about how she is treated by the media. Continual attacking of the media citing ‘they are picking on me’, ‘Terry never writes anything good about me’. The Mayor has been on this bandwagon for some two years - The simple fact is, if the Mayor delivered just once on so many of the commitments given to various local community groups and clubs at various community
meetings and speeches, then the media might report more favourable. The Mayor of Wanneroo supported not publishing the ‘Wanneroo Link’ in the Sun City News, denying North Ward residents regular access to local council news and information. The North Ward is the only region in the City of Wanneroo paying ‘Developer contributions’, $7500 per block of land sold, so at some time in the future we will get some basic infrastructure.
We have the worst councilowned life saving facilities in WA, the council has been planning a new facility for over ten years. Weekly, the Mayor spruiks about going to Canberra or getting elected to the Australian Local Government Association or being elected as deputy of the WA Local Government Association. This is not a local mayor; this is political profiling. If the mayor wants to be better treated by the media, be a better mayor.

Put a price on every tree other machinery all produced waste heat.
Some councillors from across the Perth metro area want laws giving a dollar value to each tree that developers propose to chop down, in a bid to combat dangerous overheating in suburbs stripped of greenery. A state government authority in August predicted heatwave related deaths in Perth would more than double by 2050 because of climate change and the ‘urban heat island effect’, where cities are hotter than the country. A City of Bayswater councillor, Chris Cornish, is campaigning to stop mass tree-felling as a routine part of development, urging laws forcing developers to submit, with planning proposals, the monetary value of trees they want to cut down. The report from the Environmental Protection Authority, intended to help the government plan for the predicted population explosion across Perth and Peel by 2050, found that more than 70 per cent of Swan Coastal Plain vegetation had been cleared and the resulting urban heat island effect, along with climate change, was impacting air quality and public health. But it also said the city could grow without these factors
Third, the usual consequence of building infrastructure was also to simultaneously remove trees, and trees not only shaded buildings, helping prevent heat trapping, but also carried out the process of “evapotranspiration” – like evaporative airconditioners, they actively cooled the environment. worsening, providing it counteracted the urban heat island effect through methods, including tree preservation. A 2014 University of Technology Sydney report on Australia’s urban tree canopy ranked local governments against each other, showing Perth’s least-treed was Belmont, with less than 10 per cent cover. City of Wanneroo were not much better with just over 10 per cent. Best were Kalamunda, Mundaring and Swan, but the western suburbs also scored highly. Mr Cornish said members of the public had succeeded in getting public trees ‘topped and lopped’ for issues such as magpies carolling in them at night and the trees blocking sunlight from solar
panels, despite the trees predating the panels. Mr Cornish has written to Local Government minister Tony Simpson and Environment minister Albert Jacob urging them to consider laws that any proposals involving the destruction of urban trees should include the monetary value of those trees.
The day trips include Adventure World, a special excursion to Fremantle Prison, Youth Plaza and markets. Other trips include trampolining and lunch at Hogs Breath Café, indoor volleyball and bowling, or a Darklight and movie session. Pick ups will be available from the Yanchep Community Centre, Clarkson Youth Centre and the Civic Centre in Wanneroo. Bookings for the school holiday program will fill fast, so be quick to secure your place. Visit wanneroo. wa.gov.au/youthprograms for bookings, pick up and drop off locations and times.
“We need to have some type of regulation on this and one of the ways of approaching it is to start putting value on trees.”
Curtin University school of public health director Helen Brown, who has led research into the interactions between health, heat and climate change, said urban heat islands resulted from three factors.
Spokespeople for Ministers Simpson and Jacob said Mr Cornish’s letters had been received but neither Minister was contemplating legislation to require financial valuations on trees as part of development applications.
First, they had a greater concentration of built materials – bricks, buildings, roads and pavements - all of which tended to trap heat.
What do you think? Are our land developers considering the tree environment enough? Should there be more parklands to make up for the small household blocks?
Second, people, buildings, cars, air conditioners and
School holiday fun The City of Wanneroo Youth Services team have prepared a schedule of activities for the upcoming school holidays.
Dr Brown said, though planning decisions in Perth might not have much effect on global climate change, they had complete power over the urban heat island effect.
During 2014, more than 1300 young people aged eight to 25-years-old, who live, work, study or ‘hang out’ in the City of Wanneroo, took part in the YSpeak! survey. The council has just released the results of the survey - Key findings included: Family relationships were most important to all ages; the environment was of most concern to young people aged 8 to 11 but of least concern to young people aged 12 to 25; the future was of most concern to young people of all ages; bullying was a concern to young people aged 8-11; crime and safety was of significant concern to young people; employment was of significant concern to young people aged 16 to 25; and transport was an issue for about one third of young people in stopping them from accessing things.

Sea Rescue - another busy year consuming over 8000 litres of fuel. Radio operations at Two Rocks continues to play major role at Two Rocks with over 4,000 volunteer put in by this dedicated group. Appreciation Certificates for Most hard working members were presented to Annke and Ken Rowland; and David Whyte.
At last week’s Two Rocks Volunteer Marine Rescue Group’s annual general meeting, Wayne Wyatt was elected as commander; Trevor Hutchinson as deputy commander, Pam Annesley as secretary and Kay Westphal as treasurer.
Bill White was elected as operations officer; and Laurie Reyne, Matt Lee, Mike Parker, Rob Ross and David Haynes as committee persons.
all members for their tireless volunteering throughout the year - Two Rocks Sea Rescue had a total of 139 incidents of which 39 were MARSAR related incidents of which nine were classed as ‘Distress’ events and there were six regarded as special or standby events equal to over 1000 hours physically on the rescue vessels.
Out-going commander, Jeff Howe, thanked and praised
Over 275 vessel hours were spend in the water
Matt Lee and Bill White are The Two Rocks VMRG delegates at the 2015 DFES Conference, next week. Two Rocks VMRG has been nominated for the VMRWA Award for Outstanding Group Operations - Members from Two Rocks rescued an unconscious man from the water and performed CPR on him for more than an hour.
Marina work progresses boat ramp projects were progressing smoothly - The traffic and car/trailer parking was finished, and the tender for the new ramp was nearing being awarded to the successful tenderer. When the new ramp is completed by the end of this year, there will still be no toilets or boat wash down area - There wasn’t enough money in the current budget to provide these facilities. During the Two Rocks Volunteer Marine Rescue AGM, Department of Transport (DOT) official, Rose Murphy, provided a limited update on the progress of the Two Rocks Marina since the DOT had taken control and management of the marina. Ms Murphy said there was still a long way to go and the Department still had ongoing discussions with the previous leasee, Yanchep Sun City.
The Two Rocks Sea Rescue Group has been negotiating to move into the A shed on the marina. Unfortunately due to various problems with the previous leasee this has been held up. Because of the hold up, a $140,000 DFES grant the Two Rocks Sea Rescue had secured to develop the new premises was to be handed back until more surety was possible for the premises.
The Sun City News understands the Department of Transport has conducted numerous studies and prepared up to 18 different reports in relation to the problems at the marina. These include water issues, asbestos issues, silt issues, electrical problems and underwater survey issues. Ms Murphy also told the meeting that the recreational
Ms Murphy said there was a long list of maintenance issues in and around the marina and it will take time to complete then all. During the upcoming summer fishing season, there will be a joint efforts between DOT, Department of Fisheries and police to stop and check cars and boats.

Council needs to explain closure the City of Wanneroo had advertised the closure of this track.
In mid-July the City of Wanneroo advertised the proposed closure of an accessway in Nott Place, Yanchep.
This photo shows the accessway, which is totally engulfed by the 20 year plus old trees, the sandy driveway, power supply pole, dumpster and other construction material in on the owners’ property.
The council ad stated: “Council invites public comment on the proposed permanent closure of a pedestrian accessway situated between Nott Place and Oldham Park, Yanchep. It is proposed that the closure would result in this land parcel being amalgamated into an adjoining lot.”
The adjoining neighbour should be praised for wanting to keep the trees, and if they have to buy the closed accessway, and can afford it, they say they will to save the trees.
A couple of Yanchep residents have publicly objected to the closure citing ‘land grab’ and ‘council turning a blind eye’. Earlier this week the Sun City News met with the landowner of the adjoining block and they tell a very different story. They purchased the vacant block about two years ago after being told by the Wanneroo council administration they had no plans to do anything with the proposed accessway. Earlier this year the land owners commenced building their fully approved home - Contrary to some rumours, the house is totally compliant with all council approved plans and does not encroach onto any part of the accessway. So the question remains, why is the closure proposed?
Once the home construction is complete, they plan to plant many more trees on their property. About three months ago, council workers/contractors unannounced turned up to chop down the trees that have been growing in the accessway for at least the past 20 years. The owners of the adjoining property questioned the council workers, asking them what could be done to save the trees. They were told they might be able to buy the accessway land. They have never formally offered to buy the land or requested the closure. The landowner told the Sun City News, they didn’t even
know what price they would have to pay for the land, and whether they could afford to buy it. Their only interest is saving the trees.
What prompted the City of Wanneroo, after 20 years of neglect of this accessway, decide they needed to remove these trees?
As the owners expect to move into their near completed home soon, they are very concerned that a couple of people are trespassing onto their property, only a metre or so from their bedrooms.
Why has the City of Wanneroo proceeded to advertise this closure and amalgamation into an adjoining lot without having negotiated with the neighbouring property owners? Is this council bureaucracy gone crazy?
The new residents are concerned that some of the community have misconceptions about how this situation came about In fact, they were unaware
At the very least, the adjoining neighbours deserve a full explanation and an apology for the stress and agony caused by the way council have handled this issue.
sun city news PROPERTY REVIEWS AUCTIONS CHANGING HANDS How to select a property manager
PROPERTY
Investing in property is a big responsibility, so it’s important to make sure your property is managed by a professional. Choosing a good property manager to look after your rental property will ensure all the daily tasks of managing your investment are taken care of. What is a property manager? A property manager is an employee of an agent who is registered under the Act to conduct property management functions, though this generally doesn’t include sales transactions. Your property manager will: advertise for and select a tenant negotiate rents and prepare lease agreements collect rent and other costs lodge bonds inform you of any required repairs conduct inspections negotiate rent reviews liaise with tenants control the termination of a tenancy What should you look for in a property manager? It’s a good idea to make sure you meet the specific property manager that will be personally looking after your property before hiring them. If you are negotiating with an agent about hiring a property manager, ensure you have a chance to meet them first so that you’re comfortable with who will be looking after your investment. When deciding on a property manager to hire, you should look for the following attributes:
Excellent communication skills. Impeccable people skills. Knowledge and experience. Great attention to detail. Professional and highly organised. What questions should you ask? Some questions you might like to ask the property managers that you speak with are: What management services are included? What are their skills and experience? How many other properties in the area do they manage? What are the skills and experience of the agency principal and what involvement do they have with tenant selection and property management? How will they determine the rental value of your property? How will they advertise for tenants? How will they assess tenants? How thoroughly will your property be checked during inspections and also after the tenant leaves? How often will they communicate with you about your property and how will this communication be executed? How often will property condition reports be provided? How often are financial statements provided? What procedures are in place to take care of any issues that may occur? Have they had any experience in the Magistrates Court acting on behalf of a property owner? What improvements do they think could be made to your property to attract the desired tenants? Choosing a property manager is crucial to the success of your investment property, so be sure to do your due diligence so you can be confident in the decision you make.
