On the agenda . . . At next Tuesday’s City of Wanneroo council meeting there are 34 reports in a 446 page agenda, there are six reports that relate to the North Coast Ward. In the first report, council will consider a structure plan for Central Alkimos, a 255 hectare
development including schools, shops and 1700 homes. In another report, the council will consider approving a 5.5 metre high retaining wall at Lot 499 St Andrews Drive, Yanchep. In another report, the council will consider spending up to $40,000 at Yanchep and
Quinns Mindarie Surf Life Saving Clubs for the 2016/17 life saving patrols. In response to a petition for a skate park in Yanchep, administration is recommending community consultation during the 2016/17 financial year.
In another report, the council will consider the ‘Yanchep Lagoon Trails and Pathways Master Plan’. The plan has been developed to support the Yanchep Lagoon and surrounding area, covering a total area of approximately 8.85 hectares, the majority
of which being bushland The council is being asked to approve the $1.5 million project for inclusion in the City’s 20 Year Capital Works Budget. The meeting starts at 7.00pm, next Tuesday 24 May, in the Council Chambers, members of the public are welcome.
Where is the openness and accountability? At next Tuesday’s City of Wanneroo council meeting, the council will consider a report behind closed doors that has the potential to render several Moorpark Avenue properties worthless. At least six, possibly more existing homes are directly affected by the council decision to rezone road reserves to residential lots - According to Moorpark Avenue residents this decision was made without any consultation or notification to the affected property owners. By closing the road reserves, access to front doors, garages, patios and sheds all approved by the Wanneroo Planning department will be impossible. The Acting Director for Planning, Mark Dickson, attended a meeting with the affected residents several weeks ago and said a report would be prepared for council to consider the problem. Without any further consultation or notification, the administration is recommending the matter be deliberated behind closed doors. Mayor Tracey Roberts and the council continually spruik about the ‘openness and accountability’, the decision to discuss this simple planning blunder behind closed doors looks like a cover-up. The council should be ‘upfront’ and admit the City’s Planning Department errors in approving this rezoning, and fully address the matter with appropriate outcomes to ensure each existing home owner has full access to their property as previously approved by council. The council should be acquiring the problemsome blocks; creating the appropriate butimised cul-de-sacs as quickly as possible and personally apologising to the affected home owners for the stress and problems they have caused. Additionally, the council should be ‘totally open’ and reveal the full report about this important issue including how much this has cost the ratepayers. The Sun City News is aware that some of the Moorpark Ave residents have taken legal advice and depending on the council’s decision, this could end up in the Supreme Court. City of Wanneroo letter, Moorpark Ave residents are being told they were sent about the changes back in October 2009. Residents only became aware about 12 months ago, when the Vortex development started. Moorpark Ave residents are being kept in the dark by the City of Wanneroo.

Beautiful jewel on our doorstep One of the region’s most picturesque scenic pieces of earth is right in our backyard, and hardly anyone knows about it - Boomerang Gorge or the Dwerta Mia Walk Trail in the Yanchep National Park. This short, family friendly walk is just perfect to introduce kids to nature. Featuring interpretative signage, visiting ‘Dwerta Mia’ will give you a unique experience of Australia through the eyes of Aboriginal culture as well as a better understanding of how the limestone environment has formed over hundreds of thousands of years.
‘Dwerta Mia’ is an aboriginal expression for ‘the house of the wild dog’. History states that this place was not entered by Aboriginals guiding early European explorers as they believed that the place was not only inhabited by dingos (i.e. wild dogs) but also by evil sprits. The walk can be entered from the Boomerang Gorge where you walk between impressive cliff formations and amazing greenery, where you can meander through the collapsed cave system.
This walk is a Class 1, easy walk of about one kilometre, why not take a leisurely stroll
and discover this amazing piece of local nature. Dwerta Mia Trail can be accessed from
Sea rescue training
Boomerang Gorge Car Park, opposite the historic Gloucester Lodge.

Last week, members of the Two Rocks Volunteer Marine Rescue Group and RAAF took part in a chopper rescue training exercise. The Two Rocks Volunteer Marine Rescue Group has been assisting the Western Australian boating public since 1991. TRVMRG is a not for profit organisation operated by those who willingly dedicate their time to provide on-the-water assistance, radio coverage, administration, finance reporting, training and maintenance of equipment. The skippers and crew hold nationally recognised maritime qualifications, first aid and advanced resuscitation certificates as you would expect when dealing with a leading professional organisation, which has a long history and valuable record of service to the boating community. The volunteers provide boating assistance and radio coverage seven days a week with over 40 active volunteers. The running expenses require donations, fund raising activities, government grants
Last Friday night, nine talented artists shared $16,800 in prize money in the City of Wanneroo Community Art Awards & Exhibition. Yanchep sculptor, Adam Logue, photo above, won the overall best sculpture piece. and the support of our members and sponsors to make it possible. This Saturday night, TRVMRG is holding a fundraiser; Diamond Tribute Show at the Tavern @ the Rocks, some tickets are available at the door - Only $30 per person.
The TRVMRG headquarters is at the southern end of the Two Rocks Marina complex, if you are interested in becoming a volunteer with the group, drop into HQ or call 9561 5777 for full details. This group provides a vital service to the community.
Judges commented that ‘the vibrant artwork displays high energy line making. The strong stare creates a powerful image, which has a very Australian feel to it’. The free exhibition will run in the gallery at the Wanneroo Library and Cultural Centre until Saturday 11 June, Mondays to Saturdays 10am to 4pm. The exhibition includes 144 paintings, 50 works on paper and 28 sculptures.

Your letters and emails Marmion Avenue
Well, at long last the short stretch of road on Marmion Avenue between Peony Boulevard and Morwell Street Yanchep, appears to be finished, it must have cost a fortune, one wonders how a little job like that could have taken so long.
One also wonders what idiot planned the huge median strip turning the road into a single lane each way and then, unbelievably, they go and stick a bus stop about 100 meters in from the traffic lights at Lagoon Drive on the southbound side of Marmion, which will cause lines of traffic at a standstill at peak times right through the lights.
This to me conjures up all kinds of possibilities of accidents to children going to and from school and impatient and frustrated drivers trying to get around the buses. Do these road planners have any brains at all? It must be the same planner who planned Ocean Keys Boulevard at Clarkson where
the buses stop in the middle of the road and hold the traffic up. Where has all the common sense gone today? Mike Gould, Jindowie.
Election promises
No idea
Can’t blame anyone not knowing who the hell to vote for.
The only thing that politicians know about Yanchep is that it’s the newest place to dump the dross of society. Ross Goeldner, via Facebook.
Good luck to all of us having to go through an enduring eight weeks of unsustainable promises.
Johan De Klerk, via Facebook.
Talk and no money
The City of Wanneroo openly promotes its ‘Advocacy Policy’ promoting building a future. Last Friday, 13 May, there was a meeting with some high powered big hitter involved - At the meeting were several major developers from the northern corridor between Butler and Two Rocks, UDIA (Urban Development Institute of Australia, Western Australia Division) and the City of Wanneroo. The Sun City News understands the City of Wanneroo was seeking financial contributions from the developers to deliver the rail to Yanchep as well as other projects, without actually contributing any monies themselves. Is it fair that City of Wanneroo are pumping millions of dollars into the Central and South Wards, but only a pittance into the North Coast Ward, expecting the developers and residents to pay hidden developer contributions. Yes, there are projects moving slowly in the North Coast Ward, but these are funded by Developer Contributions, an extra council tax, around $7500 per lot, on all new residents. The hook in all of this is, the biggest winner, and only winner, is the City of Wanneroo - They reap more and more rates from their ‘advocacy’ process without putting in any or very little funding to develop the region. Developers are being forced to collect extra ‘council taxes’ through land sales and then we are told the City is building community assets. City of Wanneroo is a member of the National Growth Areas Alliance (NGAA) with the ‘Fund our Future’ campaign, that sees senior management and the Mayor tripping off to Canberra seeking NGAA’s primary goal for communities in the fast outer growth suburbs to get a fair go. Local councils are legally required to treat all residents equally, charging developer contributions in selected regions doesn’t appear right.

Is Big Brother in the library? While bringing to fruition their convenience, we must understand their risks also. “Recognising inherent privacy or security threats of RFID systems will be also helpful for decision-making regarding the obligations of RFID manufacturers and the privacy rights of end users.”
Photo: RFID tag. Recently the City of Wanneroo has completed the roll-out of new selfserve technology in their libraries. This RFID technology cost $193,492.85 for the hardware, software and installation into four libraries. The Director for Community and Place, Fiona Hodges, said: “The system streamlines processes for both staff and customers used in the library by reducing repetitive handling of books and making the processes of borrowing books quicker and easier. It also improves collection management
making it easier and faster to find misplaced items.” There are a number of privacy and security issues about RFID tags. A recent report states: “RFID tags may pose security and privacy risks to both organisations and individuals.” These include: eavesdropping, individual information leakage, industrial espionage, traceability, spoofing, theft, counterfeiting and industrial sabotage. The report concludes: “It is possible that RFID tags revolutionise society.
The simple RFID library tag can gather information about your library and reading habits, genre preferences, times spent in the library and has the capability of being added to other computerised details gathered by various organisations; and shared via a multitude of processes. As one Two Rocks library user told the Sun City News, aside from the privacy issues, the library has followed the major supermarkets and lost contact with the community by computerising us. “The library was a social place where you could talk with the staff, but they even want to stop that now!” Ms Hodges said: “City of Wanneroo library staff continue to be available to assist patrons who are not confident in using the technology.” Over time does this new technology mean we will lose our librarians to robotics?

Yanchep ovals from the air
Dose of dorin
Nearly 12 months ago, we were told ‘WORK on the long-awaited Yanchep playing fields finally kicked off this month’. In 2015-16 budget, the City of Wanneroo allocated $2.335 million plus $82,110 carried forward for the playing fields. Another $1.391 million plus $141,792 carried forward, was to go towards the sports amenities building. It would look like all this money will be carried forward for another financial year. The overall project, which features two full size ovals serviced by a sports amenities building was originally costed at $10.5 million, but the Sun City News understands there is more delays and hold-ups due to issues between the City of Wanneroo and developers.
Spotlight on council
This aerial photo shows the progress, or lack of progress with the construction of the new Yanchep ovals project. The fenced off Marmion Avenue extension, north of Yanchep Beach Road, leads to two areas that have been cleared for a number of weeks.
At the time of going to press, the Sun City News understands the City was getting closer to resolving the latest issues, Western Australian ratepayers will be able but no details are available about the to scrutinise their council’s financial health completion date of additional blow-out and performance via a new dedicated costs. website providing unprecedented access Mid to late 2017 is being suggested to local government data. as a possible completion date, if there Local Government Minister, Tony aren’t any more delays and the council Simpson, said: “This website builds on continues to fund the project blow-outs. the State Government’s commitment to strengthen accountability throughout the
sector and ensure all West Australians benefit from high-performing councils. “We want local governments to be open and transparent when it comes to spending ratepayers’ money.” MyCouncil website can be viewed at http://www.mycouncil.wa.gov.au

International students visit Yanchep key objective of the partnership is to facilitate ‘internationalisation’ of students from Japan and Australia, and indeed, from the rest of the world. It is expected this will be achieved through establishing culturallyintegrated learning opportunities with the two universities. In July 2012, Yanchep Beach Joint Venture (YBJV) initiated the exchange between TCU and ECU in Japan. In November 2012, ECU signed a tripartite Heads of Agreement with Tokyu Corporation and Yanchep Beach Joint Venture for ECU to establish a learning facility at the Yanchep Beach Project.
Tokyo City University (TCU) has started the new program called the TAP (Tokyo City University Australian Program) to cultivate students as real international personnel through an original
curriculum designed in collaboration with Edith Cowan University.
The Member for Butler, John Quigley, said: “There is next to nothing in the State budget for the electorate of Butler.”
Marmion Avenue to Yanchep; there is no provision for traffic lights to be installed at the comer of Hester Avenue and Baltimore Parade, Merriwa, to cater for the massive increase in traffic at the end of the extended Mitchell Freeway.
TCU is planning to send about 240 students annually and one of the
Photo: About 60 Japanese students enjoyed a YBJV organised tourism experience in Yanchep with guided tours in the Yanchep National Park and a traditional ‘aussie BBQ’ at Fishermans’ Hollow.
Quigley’s view on state budget There is: $200,000 for a shark proof net at Quinns Beach; and $1.5 million to buy land for a future North Butler high school. “There is an indication that in 2018/19 the high school will commence, however, one has to remember the Barnett Government’s broken promise made in relation to the run down Yanchep District High School and its broke promise to build rail to Yanchep by 2020. “There budget
is no provision in for the widening
the of
“There is no provision at all for extending the Mitchell Freeway beyond Hester Avenue. “There is no provision to extend the rail north of Butler to Alkimos, Eglinton or Yanchep. “There is no provision to undertake desperately needed upgrades to the Yanchep District High School, which will remain the site of the Yanchep Primary School.
“Given the amount of tax payers in the electorate of Butler, who, as a result of this budget, will pay an additional $160.00 per year for increase in fees and charges plus a $99.00 surcharge on every vehicle licence, the electors in Butler will be paying an extra $259.00 per year in increased charges and get nothing in return for our area. “This budget is a disgrace and a rip off for all residents of the electorate of Butler.” The Barnett Government 2016 Budget has been described by economic commentators as the ‘Worst budget in West Australian history’ with a deficit of $3.9 billion that is tipped to hit $40 billion within three years.

Christmas Island and Cocos Keeling islands accommodation, direct return economy flights ex Perth and airport transfers.
TRAVEL
Cocos Keeling Islands Made up of two coral atolls that were closely studied by Charles Darwin, the Cocos Keeling Islands are perfect for a relaxing tropical break.
with Melanie Grigoratos, Bridge the World Travel and Cruise Centre. Two Rocks.
Water sports are very popular, with kite surfing, windsurfing and plain old wave surfing.
Are you all Bali’d out and looking for a new tropical island paradise that will take your breath away and doesn’t take forever to get to? Well cast your eyes a little further down the map and you’ll see two stunning island getaways that are close to home, affordable, adventurous, relaxing and exquisite.
Christmas Island Christmas Island is a paradise brimming with unique wildlife amongst jungles and surrounded by magical reefs. Known best for the red crabs, it’s an island that many have heard of but few have visited. There is plenty to see on land, with winding trails through the rainforest and lookouts which are perfect for spotting birds
The best time for these is July to October, but still great all year round.
such as frigate birds, rarest of all boobies, the Abbotts Booby and the golden bosun. The island attracts keen photographers with its bright colours and rugged coastline. There is also a golf course with special Christmas Island rules about red crabs blocking the holes. October to December is the best time to see the red crab migration, however you’ll be able to spot them along with the giant robber crabs year round.
You can swim with the whale sharks from November to April while also getting up close to manta rays, dolphins, tropical fish and colourful coral. The warm 27 degrees celsius water temperatures make it perfect to snorkel and dive all year. Other activities on the island include nature tours and beach jungle tours where you can find the Grotto – a sea cave that is hidden just beyond the shoreline of thick jungle. Four night packages start from $1,405 per person and include
You can also hire stand up paddleboards, kayaks or take a private glass bottom boat tour around the islands. Even during busy periods, the water is uncrowded with plenty of space to learn or perfect your skills. You can spend just as much time under the water with great snorkelling and diving with wrecks and reefs. There are plenty of great snorkelling sites for beginners and families and you’ll be sure to spot clams, urchins, angelfish, parrotfish and plenty more.
Home Island is the heart of the Cocos Malay community so be sure to catch a ferry across to try your hand at weaving, cooking Malay food and possibly even join a cultural ceremony held in homes along the island. Try a round of golf with stunning water views and the airport runway right through the middle of the course. Or perhaps you prefer to fish, with Bonefish, Trevally, Sailfish and Tuna to be caught from the beach, jetty and boat. At the end of the day, barbeque your catch as you watch the sunset. Three night packages start from $1,366 per person and include accommodation, direct return economy flights ex Perth and airport transfers Or why not combine the two destinations? Combinations packages of 7 nights Cocos Keeling Islands and 7 nights Christmas Island start from $2,693 per person. Virgin Australia have flights to both islands twice a week from Perth. Talk to your local travel agent for full details about these islands.

Redhawks: Finals fate in own hands play early the Redhawks were not able to turn the good midfield work into goals on the board and when East Fremantle got maximum results from their forward entries they led by 21 points at quarter time.
Denis Heaney After a promising start which saw Redhawks register victories in the opening three games of the season, losses in next three have placed them in the position of needing to win two of next three games to stay in battle for a place in the finals.
The second term was virtually a replica of the first with the home side dominating the midfield play, but East Fremantle grabbing opportunities to goal each time they went forward and led by 39 points at half time and Redhawks appeared to be in a fair bit of trouble.
Round four saw the Redhawks trek down to Golden Bay to take on Secret Harbour. The long trip down must have taken its effect on the Redhawks players as they trailed by four goals at quarter time after being held scoreless in the opening stanza due mainly to poor disposal in their forward entry. However first gamer, Connor Bryant-Evans had an immediate impact on the game kicking two goals for the second quarter and giving the team some hope when margins had been reduced slightly at the main break. Third quarter thanks to another goal from Bryant–Evans in addition to majors from Dan Goodwin and Neal Martin saw Redhawks back in the game
with only a nine point deficit as they turned for home. Redhawks continued their good form and with 10 minutes left to play were only three points behind. Unfortunately poor disposal at vital stages resulted in three quick goals to Secret Harbour enabling them to run out victors by 20 points. Final score: Secret Harbour
10.9.69 def Redhawks 7.7.49. Best players: Neal Martin, Kenny Hicks, Connor BryantEvans and Jack Ingram. Main goal kickers: Connor Bryant-Evans 3, Dan Goodwin 2. May 7, saw the Redhawks return to their home ground to tackle East Fremantle and despite dominating the midfield
After half time the Redhawks continued to battle manfully against their bigger and more mature opponents and only some hard work by ruckman Kenny Hicks and midfielder Deon Alderton enabled the home side to contain the deficit to 50 points at three quarter time. The final term saw the Redhawks produce their best football of the game when improved use of the ball combined with the effort and determination shown by all players saw the Redhawks
outscore their opponents by two goals, however it was too little, too late, and the situation was perfectly summed up by coach Mick Sutherland who said after the game: “Poor kicking let us down. When you consider there were only four scoring shots difference between the sides, we won most of the centre clearances, contested as well as them around the ground, I’m not displeased with the boys and I learnt a lot from the game today, so it’s not all bad.” Final score: East Fremantle 15.5.95 def Redhawks 8.8.56. Best players: Deon Alderton, Kenny Hicks and Jason Gravenall. Main goal kicker: Tom Butler 3. The Redhawks face their toughest test of the season this Saturday, 21 May, at home against unbeaten Swan Districts and then tackle the winless ECU, if these games play out as anticipated the game against second placed Roleystone, at home, becomes a crucial game for the Redhawks finals chances.
