The only local community newspaper distributed every second Thursday in Carramar, Neerabup, Nowergup, Carabooda, Alkimos, Eglington, Two Rocks, Yanchep, Woodridge, Guilderton, Gabbadah, Sovereign Hill Estate, Redfi eld Park Estate, Seabird, Ledge Point, Lancelin, Gingin and Wannamal.

CLOSEDThe 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 fi sh in the reception area garden? And, what has happened to the Mark Le Buse sculptures?

The Sun City News understands the Koi fi sh have been relocated to Pinnaroo Valley Memorial Park in Padbury.

Relocating the Le Buse sculptures is a more complex issue - Nick Perrignon from Acumen Development Solutions,

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.”

City of Wanneroo confi rmed 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 signifi cance of the place. Demolition of Category 3 places is discouraged.

Any demolition of a site on the Municipal Heritage Inventory requires planning approval of the council.

Nursery agrees to pay back $30,000WA’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.

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.

After Fair Work inspectors launched an investigation, they

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 four-bedroom house with only one kitchen, two showers and four toilets for which they each had to pay $450 a fortnight.

If that accommodation was permanently fi lled 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.

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

that it provide inspection reports demonstrating that its staff accommodation is fi t-for-purpose and has the appropriate permits, licenses and zoning approvals.”

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.

The Enforceable Undertaking, published on the Fair Work Ombudsman’s web site,

requires Quito to: reimburse a total of $28,795.21 to the eight employees for unlawful deductions from their wages; place a Public Notice in the North Coast Times, notifying the community of its workplace contraventions and actions taken to remedy them; place a similar notice at its workplace at 32 Safari Place, Carabooda; implement systems and processes to ensure its future compliance with workplace laws.

Benara Nurseries has a 300-plus workforce, is a family-owned and operated business specialising in growing and supplying wholesale native and exotic plants to the landscape and retail nursery industries.

Local council news 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 sacrifi cial 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 fi nal 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 fi ve 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 fi nancial 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 goingFor the past 18 months, or thereabouts, many local residents have been attending ‘fi tness 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 clarifi cation about the future of these fi tness classes.

The Sun City News was told: “The Tuesday and Friday fi tness 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 qualifi ed 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 vehiclesAn unlicensed car dealer was fi ned $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 [email protected] or by calling 1300 304 054.

Delys celebrates

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 fi ve years, my next wish is a ride on a Harley.

Little library launchNext Tuesday, Yanchep will be welcomed into the worldwide `Little Free Library’ movement, with the opening of a special library that will bring big benefi ts 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 offi cial 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.

Kids helping homelessChildren from Yanchep Kidzbiz Pre-school 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 fi re service as part of their Early Years Curriculum.

New play equipment at lagoonEach 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.


Always rememberedThe 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 youI 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 fi zzer!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.

DonationsI 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.

Perry loses battle

Former Capricorn Village Joint Venture chief executive offi cer, Dr Russel Perry (68), died earlier this week after battling motor neurone disease.

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.

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.

A member of the Bendigo Bank family, Rural Bank is operated entirely from Australian shores providing a range of tools that work for the fi nancial demands of all farmers.

Rural Bank’s partnership with local Bendigo Bank and Community Bank branches ensures ease of access to specialist farm fi nance 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 confi dent that you are supporting the local community and country Australia while being backed by the security of a successful, well-managed fi nancial 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.

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 a member of the Northern Valley community, we understand the seasonal challenges and opportunities that local farmers are presented with,” Stephen said.

“Whether it is for capital improvements, seasonal input purchases or expanding land holdings, Rural Bank’s fi nancial tools provide the fl exibility to make quick decisions based on individual needs at any particular time.

Holiday let campaign successThe 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.

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.

A total of 107 properties have confi rmed they wish to be registered as holiday let accommodation and have undertaken, or are in the process of undertaking, the required works for reclassifi cation under the Building Code of Australia.

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

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.

“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.

“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.”

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 confi rm that works have been completed details of their property are moved from an interim register to a completed register.

The fi nal 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 [email protected].

Countdown to science festivalAfter 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 scientifi c appreciation in the Gingin region.

The inaugural festival will be opened offi cially by the West Australian Governor, Kerry Sanderson on Friday 14 August, in a ceremony at the historic Gingin Railway Station.

This launch also sees the opening of the celebrated Wallal Exhibition, which details the amazing 1922 scientifi c 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 fi ve week long Gingin Science

Festival, celebrating music, art, food and drink, and all things scientifi c.

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.

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.

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!

A detailed festival program is available at ginginsciencefestival.com.au, or follow the festival on Facebook.

Fight to save houses at SeabirdNew work has begun to try and ease coastal erosion in the small fi shing 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 fi x has started in the town after the State Government committed $2 million towards curbing the erosion.

Moore MP, Shane Love, said concrete slabs would be installed to hold the ground until a permanent solution is decided upon.

Gingin Shire President Michael Aspinall said locals were pleased to see crews out on the beach preparing to install the concrete.

Mr Aspinall said the shire would form a committee to investigate potential long-term 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 ‘Refl ections: 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.

Nominate an outstanding community memberYou can help acknowledge dedicated and hardworking community members by nominating them for a City of Wanneroo Australia Day award.

Mayor Tracey Roberts said the annual award recognised individuals and organisations who had made a signifi cant contribution to the City’s community by awarding three categories of awards every Australia Day.

The categories are: Charles Searson Australia Day Youth Award: for an individual under 25 years of age who has made an outstanding contribution to the local community.

Australia Day Award: for an individual over 25 years who has made an

outstanding contribution to the local community.

Australia Day Community Group or Event award: for an outstanding local community group or event.

The awards will be presented at the Wanneroo Australia Day citizenship ceremony on 26 January, 2016.

Earlier this year the City of Wanneroo hosted Australia’s biggest Australia Day citizenship ceremony with more than 600 residents taking the pledge.

Recipients must be residents of the City of Wanneroo, or have coordinated a community event within the City, or be members of a community group whose principal activities are conducted within the City of Wanneroo.

Nominees will be assessed by a judging panel based on their commitment to enhancing the local community, leadership qualities and local community presence.

Anyone in the community can submit a nomination by completing and submitting the nomination form on the City’s website or in person at 23 Dundebar Road, Wanneroo.

Coffee and school with Christian PorterFederal 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 certifi cation.”

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 fl ight 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 fl y at all times of the day. Sometimes I stay up all night to fl y 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 fi t and also a very good surfer.”

Finals Loom in CMCFLAt the weekend, top placed Lancelin Ledge Point Pirates defeated fourth placed Moora in Lancelin by 40 points while Cervantes trounced bottom placed Jurien Bay by an even bigger margin.

With the fi nals only four weeks away, things look interesting.

The Pirates will defi nitely play second placed Cervantes in the second semi fi nal on 14 August.

In all likelihood this game will be played in Lancelin unless the Pirates lose both of their fi nal two minor round matches and Cervantes wins their fi nal two.

Given that the Pirates have only lost one game this season, chances of them losing their fi nal 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 fi nal.

The right to host that fi nal is keenly sought-after.

It not only provides the host club with a fi nancial windfall from canteen and bar sales on the day, the home team often has a psychological advantage.

A second semi fi nal win also rewards the victor with a week off and direct passage into the grand fi nal.

The fi rst semi-fi nal will be played on 7 August, and at this point, it’s likely that Dandaragan will play either Moora or Jurien Bay in Dandaragan.

Both Moora and Jurien Bay have only won two games this year and it would seem likely that the winner of their 26 July clash would bump the other team out of the four and earn

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 fi ve goals a few weeks ago.

The Pirates have looked even stronger than last year,

recruiting two ex-WAFL players along with a handful of others.

Cervantes are still the only real threat to the Pirates winning their second fl ag in as many years while Moora have a young and slick looking team that always look likely to threaten.

The next round sees the Pirates play Jurien Bay in Lancelin on 18 July, and Moora host Dandaragan on Sunday 19 July.
