COUNCIL CORNER2 Sun City News, 3 July 2014

New policyOver the past fortnight, both theCity of Wanneroo and the Shire ofGingin held their regular monthlycouncil meeting.

To most people reading theagendas and minutes can be asinteresting as watching grassgrow or paint dry.

When in reality, the decisions ourlocal councils make or not, canaffect what fees we might becharged; what local infrastructurewill be provided and when; orwhat rates we will be charged.

An unusual intriguing, butessential report was presentedbefore the City of Wanneroocouncil last week - A ‘Fraud,Corruption, Bribery andMisconduct Policy’.

It will be interesting to follow theoutcomes from this new policyand how it works.

Late meetingThe 24 June City of Wanneroocouncil meeting did not finish until 10.15pm, one of their longestmeetings for a few years.

OopsIn a recently released ‘2014Community Directory’ the City ofWanneroo has six pages ofinformation with photos of themayor and councillors - The onlyproblem is the information istotally incorrect.

It lists Cr Laura Gray as ‘DeputyMayor’ and provides details oftwo other councillors who werenot re-elected in October 2013.

Pay riseAfter receiving a very substantialpay rise, up to 400 per cent, justover 12 months, the WA Salariesand Allowances Tribunal hasgiven councils the go-ahead toincrease the maximum annualallowance for councillors andmayors by up to three per cent for2014-15.

The decision means councillorscould be better off than police andother public servants.

President of WALGA and City ofJoondalup Mayor, Troy Pickard,called the pay rises ‘fair andreasonable and long overdue’.

City of Wanneroo and Shire ofGingin council have not yetdetermined whether to accept thislatest pay increase.

Currently, City of Wanneroocouncillors are paid $30,000pa,the Deputy Mayor receives$50,250pa, while the Mayorreceives $130,000pa.

At the Shire of Gingin, councillorsreceive $7,500pa, the deputyShire President receives$11,375pa, while the Presidentreceives $29,200pa.

All councillors also receiveseveral out-of-pocket expensessuch as mileage, child care, IT

equipment and running costs,mobile phone costs, plusallowances to attend trainingcourses and various conferences.

In addition the Mayor receives avehicle and most running costs.

MOU to be reviewed?In early 2005, the City ofWanneroo, Tokyu Corporation andYanchep Sun City Pty Ltd signed a19 page Memorandum ofUnderstanding that detailed ‘sharedvision and goals, strategic projectsand a ‘framework for action’.

Now nearly ten years on, somelocal residents are asking whathas the MOU achieved? Does itstill exist? Where is thecommunity engagement? Whathas happened to the IDEASProject? And, who is on the StAndrews Project AdvisoryCommittee and where are theminutes from their meetings?

Hopefully over the next few weeks,answers to these questions canbe available.

Budget meetingsThe City of Wanneroo will beholding their 2014/15 annualbudget meeting on Tuesday 8July, in the council chambers inthe Civic Centre, 23 DundebarRoad, Wanneroo. The meetingstarts at 6.00pm.

The Shire of Gingin 2014/15budget meeting is scheduled forTuesday 8 July, starting at4.00pm at the council chambersat Gingin. The general public arewelcome to attend these councilmeetings.

Write offsIt is always concerning when alocal council has to consider‘writing off’ debts.

At the Shire of Gingin’s Junemeeting, the council unanimouslyagreed to write off $73,396.78worth of patching material fromthe shire’s inventory.

The patching material, waspurchased in September 2009, itwas pre-manufactured, ready-to-use, sections of bitumen andaggregate. It was imported fromNew Zealand as an alternativeroad patching material.

The material was found to bedifficult to utilise and has remainedon council’s stock sheet.

Officers tried to dispose of thematerial in April 2013, trying torecover some of the costshowever, were unable to source amarket for the product.

The disposal and write-off of thepatching material will have noimpact on council’s 2013/14budget as it was not included inthe calculation of council’sbrought forward balance.

Lagoon work startsWork on the northern entrance tothe Yanchep Lagoon commencedearlier this week, Yanchep Beachand Two Rocks Roads have beenblocked off,

For the next eight weeks, the onlyway to get to the lagoon and thecafe is via the Wilkie Aver/Brazier Road entry on the southside ofthe lagoon.

LOCAL CONVERSATIONSThink about horsesLet's not kid ourselves thebiggest issue with living in thesouthern coastal area of theShire of Gingin is the ‘bitingfly’ problem, not the idiothoons.

I must admit though it mustbe annoying for the folksdown near the entrance toSovereign Hill Estate late atnight when the hoons areburning rubber andscreeching tyres, almost asannoying as having a dustmaking vermin and flyattracting large smelly horseliving next to you twenty fourhours a day.

At least the hoons go away toeat and sleep.

In response the Sun CityNews ‘letter to the editor’about horse issues.

The unnamed author talksabout teaching responsibility.

To teach responsibility youhave to have responsiblepeople. I would not regard aperson who clandestinelybrings a horse onto an estatethat is supposed to be free ofsuch animals, and withoutany thought as to the effect itwill have on others, as‘responsible’.

I chose to live in an areawithout horses because Ihave long experience withhorses, sheep and cattle andknow the downside as well asthe up side.

Our children all had ponies,went to pony club, gymkhanasand the Royal Show thengrew out of horses andmoved on to cars.

We moved onto a sheep andcattle stud for many years,then decided to retire to thecoast on a small acreagenear Guilderton.

We did not wish to live nearlarge animals and we only hadone choice, ‘Sovereign Hill’.

Six minutes north ofSovereign Hill is RedfieldPark, where you can have ahorse and on a largeracreage more suitable for thathorse. Ten minutes to thesouth of Sovereign Hill isWoodridge, where you canalso have a horse on a largeracreage and there is a ponyclub ground.

If you want a horse you havea choice of two estates, nonhorse folk have a choice ofone. I therefore think it isunreasonable to accuse thepeople of Sovereign Hill ofbeing mean spirited fordepriving someones littledarling of the joy of a horse.

When our children wantedhorses we moved to an areawhere you could have ahorse, we did not expect thepeople in our area to changethe rules just for us.

The Sustainable Develop-ment Guidelines number 2classifies Sovereign Hill assoil type two (bleached whitesands) and recommends aDSE (dry sheep equivalent)of two. A light horse has aDSE of 15 (seven times therecommended stocking rate)and is not recommended evenwith irrigation, therefore notrecommended for SovereignHill.

The Department ofAgriculture ‘Guidelines forHorses on Small Acreages’states that a light horse willpass 5,500kgs of manure peryear, which under the HealthAct must be picked up ‘daily’and stored in fly proofcontainers until it is correctlydisposed of to prevent fliesbreeding.

A light horse will also pass5,500 litres of urine per year,the stench of which must bemitigated with water but not insuch quantities as to causethe effluent to be exported toneighbouring properties or tounderground water courses.

All feed must be kept inrodent proof containers,picked up ‘immediately’ andstored in such a way as toprevent rodents breeding.

A horse yard must also havea mat of grass or analternative to prevent theexport of dust to neighbouringproperties.

I would like to suggest to theauthor of ‘horse issues’ that ifthey had a horse next to themthe above issues would notbe ‘miniscule’, particularly ifthey weren't being compliedwith.

They were not complied withwhen we had seven illegalhorses here, they are notbeing complied with the two

illegal horses here now, andthey would not be in thefuture if planning permissionwas granted for a horsebecause the Shire of Ginginemployes one environmentalofficer who works three daysper week and if he did nothingelse he could not inspect allthe equine facilities in a singleyear which is a requirementunder the Health Act.

It is no small thing to own ahorse and look after itresponsibly.

As to joy in our life? Plantingthousands of native trees andshrubs, increasing the birdspecies from twenty to oversixty, some quite rare, andincreasing their numbers byhundreds gives us and ourfriends great pleasure when-ever we look out of ourwindow or sit outside as thesedelightful creaturescontinuously fly all around us.

Ian Hall, Sovereign Hill.

Yanchep DHS P & CAs I am sure you are aware,Yanchep DHS has been anintegral part of the Yancheparea for over 30 years. Wecurrently have a population ofover 700 students, andgrowing daily, with familiesfrom Woodridge to Caraboodato Amberton. It is the onlyschool in the Yanchep areathat caters for students fromKindergarten to Year 10. Thelast few years have providedmany challenges for theschool community.

The massive increase inhousing development raisedthe school population tobreaking point. This has beenrelieved somewhat by theopening of Yanchep BeachPrimary and the setting up oflocal intake areas.

However, as housingdevelopments continues togrow, there will be constantincreasing demands on theschool for sometime to come.

Unfortunately, the developingYanchep area is continuing tobe ignored by the StateGovernment.

Last year the school hadbeen promised $10.5 millionto upgrade its outdatedbuildings and bring the schoolin line with other district highschools. This was moneytaken away in its entirety,after education cut backswere introduced. This majordisappointment left the schoolcommunity demoralised anddisadvantaged.

The Yanchep DHS P&C areworking hard to restore prideand optimism in the schoolstudents and to raise theprofile of the school in thecommunity.

We are increasing ourfundraising events to supplythe school with educationalresources and help relievethe financial pressure thathas been put on our schooland families.

We will be holding a SausageSizzle at Masters in Brightonon Saturday 12 July, from7.00am until 3.00pm.

During this time we will alsobe selling tickets for our majorraffle - First prize is a trip toFiji (5 nights 2 adults & 2children & flight voucher)valued at over $4,000.

Second prize is a BMX bikevalued at $529.95. Third prizeis two tickets to AndreaBocelli supported by thePhilharmonic Orchestra at thePerth Arena.

We are hoping to raise asmuch awareness as possibleof our sausage sizzle atMasters and our communitywide major raffle.

We are asking for communitysupport and hope to seeeveryone at the sausagesizzle.

Gingin breeder guilty of crueltyA Gingin dog breeder isbelieved to be the first personin the state to be found guiltyof animal cruelty for leaving adog in a hot car.

The dog was left in a carparked at a suburban Perthshopping centre on a 38-degree summer’s day.

Adele Culverwell, 65, ofMuckenburra, was foundguilty in Perth MagistratesCourt on Friday 20 June, ofone count of animal crueltyunder the Animal Welfare Act.

The RSPCA stated the casewas believed to be the first ofits kind in WA and it sent awarning to all dog owners aboutleaving animals in hot carsduring the warmer months.

“This message has been outthere in the public domain formany years and some peopleare still putting their dogs atrisk of serious long-termhealth problems and even

death by cooking them in hotcars," RSPCA Chief InspectorAmanda Swift said.

The dog, a two-and-a-half-year-old Borzoi, or RussianWolfhound, named Roxy hasbeen cared for by the RSPCAsince the offence.

Ms Swift said the majority ofWest Australians were nowwell aware of the safetymessage and people who left

their dogs in hot cars werelikely to be reported to theRSPCA, the police or to localcouncil rangers.

“Last summer, the RSPCAreceived almost 600 callsabout dogs in hot cars and inthe vast majority of cases, thepeople concerned have beenhorrified to learn that theycould have seriously harmedor even caused the death of

their dog and they havevowed never to do so again,”she said.

She said Culverwell wascharged after she refused toaccept that her actions hadcaused Roxy considerablesuffering and harm.

“We received complaintsabout a dog locked in a car atthe Carousel Shopping Centrein Cannington in December2012, and the RSPCAinspector found Roxy pantinginside a Ford panel van in thecar park at approximately4.30pm,” Ms Swift said.

“The inspector took the dog toa veterinary clinic where itwas diagnosed with heatstroke and had to be treatedwith cooling techniques andgiven fluid intravenouslybefore being discharged intothe care of the RSPCA."

Sentencing is due to behanded down on 8 August.

Should a development authority be established?The up and down, on again, offdevelopment and redevelopmentof Yanchep and Two Rocks is welldocumented from the Alan Bondera through to current day.

The WA State Government hasshown various degrees of supportfor the Yanchep Satellite Cityproject over the years.

A few years ago, even theFederal Government showedinterest in the project, granting‘Facilitation Status’ - To date noone has been able to show whatthis has achieved.

The Sun City News understandsthe status is still current.

Some developers have startedwork within their landholdings, butit is very dependent on currentmarkets and demand. Additionally,local government is historical

behind the eightball with the supplyof the necessary infra-structure afast growing community needs.

Under WA State Governmentlegislation, a DevelopmentCommission can be establishedto bring this important projecttogether while providing businesssupport, community support andfacilitate collaboration between alllevels of government, industryand community to deliversustainable infrastructure for theregion.

The Yanchep Satellite City projecthas been widely publicised as thebiggest metropolitan project in theSouthern Hemisphere, yet theState Government hasn’tventured down this positive track.

The Sun City News understandsthe City of Wanneroo is not fully

supportive of a YanchepDevelopment Commission beingcreated.

If such a commission wascreated, the local governmentauthority plays a lesser role, asthe commission deals directlythrough the WA government andthe planning commission.

A Peel Development Commissionwas established by the stategovernment in January 1993. ThePeel Development Commissionhas a Board of Management andmembers are appointed by theMinister.

The appointments are made withone third being communityrepresentatives of the region, onethird nominated by local counciland one third appointed at theMinister’s discretion.

A Development Commissionobjectives usually include:maximise job creation andimprove career opportunities inthe region; develop and broadenthe economic base of the region;identifying infrastructure servicesto promote economic and socialdevelopment within the region;providing information and adviceto promote business developmentwithin the region; seeking toensure that the general standardof government services andaccess to those services in theregion is comparable to thatwhich applies in the metropolitanarea; and generally take steps toencourage, promote, facilitateand monitor the economicdevelopment in the region.

The major advantage of aDevelopment Commission over

the current system, is thecommission devotes all its time tojust one project, instead of tryingto balance and juggle a muchlarger district.

Should a Yanchep DevelopmentCommission be established? Isthe WA State Government readyto take control of the country’sbiggest ever metropolitandevelopment?

As one long term Yanchepresident said: “They have triedeverything else and nothing hasworked so far.

“It’s a no-brainer, why wouldn’tyou establish an authority for thiscommunity who has beenpromised so much, but receivedso little.”

What do you think?

Getting closer

Estates Development Company (EDC) first lodgedtheir planning and design intent for the 112 hectareJindee Estate, west of Marmion Avenue nearJindalee, back in 2002.

After 12 years of negotiations between thedeveloper, state government and local council, theWA Planning Commission has approved a localstructure plan.

EDC executive chairwoman, Fiona Roche, said thedevelopment was designed to reflect the traditionalcoastal living of Perth as at Fremantle, RottnestIsland and Cottesloe.

The development includes about 1000 residentiallots and 1300 dwellings and have a ‘Jindee code’ toguide development, including addressing urbanstandards, thoroughfares, landscaping andarchitectural standards.

Detailed area and sub-division plans should beapproved in time for the first homes to be for saleby spring 2015.

Jindee is being promoted as ‘where life meets theocean in a very special way. Jindee is memorable.It embraces the topography of the coast; sittingatop dunes and rolling down to the ocean. Aboveall, Jindee is a place to enjoy.’


NEWSRainwater the solution to alarminghigh and frequent water bills in WA

Many property owners are recognising the needto think green, not just for the environment but alsoto save money.

With World Environment Day in June, and thecoming Sustainable Day in September, Perth rainharvesting expert, Liza Joubert, said it is a perfecttime to focus on environmentally friend productsavailable in and around the home.

“There is an ongoing shift towards people wantingto use natural free resources and rainwater to addto their homes to cope with the ever increasingwater bills,” said Ms Joubert.

“It really is a case that every drop counts andconsumers are at the front line of the battle to savemoney and water,” she said.

“I’m calling on all home owners to think more aboutthe energy we use and waste in our homes andgardens and how we can change our wastefulways,” she said.

“With World Environment Day falling into themiddle of winter, we often don’t think about theharsh summer we experienced and of the waste offree healthy water with the current rain we areenjoying”

“West Australians have become blasé about theneed to save water, but with the increase infrequency and cost of our water bills, I amwitnessing how this attitude is changing as peopleare more aware of their water use and cost,” saidMs Joubert.

“There is a huge variety of green productsavailable and most people don’t realise that eco-friendly does not mean more expensive.”

Ms Joubert said with the environmental drive andfocus Perth is experiencing, it is a perfect time toconsider having ‘green’ products to changepeople’s attitudes towards sustainable productsbecause:

n A rainwater tank gives householders a visualand physical reminder of how they use water andthe impact of that use.

n Creating a consciousness around being ‘green’,rainwater tanks allows householders to see howmuch water and money they save.

n Creating a feeling of doing the right thing byusing green eco friendly products.

n Start a ripple effect in using solar and waterwisegardening and products in and around their homes

“Householders need to realise that the buck stopswith them and we must curb demand on ourresources and start to think Green as being Greenis the new black in being sustainable.”

“We can build more desalination plants, recycleour sewage and deal with wastewater, but that’stackling the problem in the wrong way.”

Up to 50 thousand litres of water can be savedeach year on average on a average size home bylinking your rain water tank to your laundry andtoilets. For more tips to save water and greenproducts, go to www.jojotanks.com.au.

4 Foreshore Vista, Yanchep

Health star rating labels finally ready to goAssistant health ministerFiona Nash has announcedthat Australian and NewZealand ministers responsiblefor food policy and regulationhave signed off on the healthstar rating system for front-of-pack labelling.

The culmination of years ofnegotiation between healthand consumer groups,government and the foodindustry, the announcementsignals the start of the labellingsystem’s implementation phase.

The health star rating system,which echoes the one alreadyin use for choosing energy- orwater-efficient refrigeratorsand washing machines, aswell as rating films and hotels,aims to provide convenientand easily understoodnutritional information on foodpacks to assist consumers.Put simply, the more stars,the healthier the food.

It was developed by a projectcommittee of industry,government, health andconsumer organisationsconvened by the secretary ofthe health department.

The system was settled on asa compromise after the traffic-light system, which uses red,yellow and green spots toindicate nutritional value andwas preferred by health andconsumer groups, wasrejected by the food industry.

Two smallcompromises

Last week’s announcementincludes compromises on twoother contentious issuesaround food labelling. Foodand drink packaging will nowfeature both health star ratingand the industry’s preferreddaily intake guide.

Food manufacturers havebeen using this system since2006 and it remains populardespite an independentreview finding it didn’t meetthe requirements of an‘interpretive’ system.

Daily intake guide values arebased on an average adult’sdaily requirement of 8,700kilojoules (kJ) and intendedas a set of reference valuesfor acceptable intakes ofenergy and a variety ofnutrients. It currently featureson about 7,200 products butthere’s no evidence that it’seffective.

Another compromise is on thetimeline for implementing thenew labelling system.

People who have beenfollowing this issue will bescratching their heads aboutthe announcement because itappears to replicate onemade in June 2013. Thehealth star rating system wasactually approved byministers then but the projectcommittee hadn’t quitefinalised a few anomalies inthe schema they’d created.

Time was needed to furtherdevelop the health star ratingcalculator, which is used todetermine product ratings.The calculator is based on asystem designed by FoodStandards Australia NewZealand to allow industry tomake health claims, and theevidence underpinning the2013 Australian DietaryGuidelines and the Guide toHealth Eating.

The June 2013 ministerialmeeting also announced theadoption of a two-year timelinefor adopting the system (goingbeyond the project committee’srecommendations) anddetermined to make thesystem mandatory if industryhadn’t adopted it voluntarilyafter that time.

After the change ofgovernment in September2013, the first meeting of therelevant ministers was inDecember. At that meeting,the new Assistant Minister forHealth, Fiona Nash

unilaterally decided to order acost-benefit analysis of thenew system.

Although it’s not been madepublic, chief executive officerof the Public HealthAssociation of Australia andthe co-chair of the TechnicalDesign Working Group, whichdeveloped the rating system,Michael Moore, has said theanalysis is complete.

He has said it found quickimplementation would be veryexpensive for industry butallowing a two or three-yearphase-in would not.

Based on this information aswell as another reportministers have called for thehealth star rating system tobe: “Implemented voluntarilyover the next five years with areview of the progress ofimplementation after twoyears with a commencementdate of 27 June 2014.”

Ups and downsChanging the food labellingsystem has been a long andturbulent process; health andconsumer groups have beenadvocating a traffic-lightsystem for over a decade.

But it all actually started whenthe Review of Food LabellingLaw and Policy wascommissioned by theAustralia and New ZealandFood Regulation MinisterialCouncil in October 2009,following a request by theCouncil of AustralianGovernments (COAG).

Headed by former healthminister Neal Blewett, thereview presented its reportLabelling Logic in January 2011.

It made a total of 61recommendations forchanges to Australia and NewZealand’s food labelling laws.

But food ministers rejectedthe front-of-pack traffic lightlabelling at their next meetingand called for industry,government, health andconsumer groups to worktogether towards a sensiblecompromise. They asked foran easy-to-understandsystem providing interpretivefront-of-pack information.

The secretary of the healthdepartment then convenedand chaired a projectcommittee that presented anagreed position to ministers,recommending the health starrating system. The systemwas developed over the nexttwo years and approved bythe ministers in June 2013.

In February of this year, awebsite explaining the healthstar rating system briefly wentlive before being pulled downafter intervention from Fiona’sNash’s then-chief of staff,Alistair Furnival.

It was subsequently revealedthat Furnival retained linkswith the food industry, forwhich he had also previouslylobbied and he ultimatelyresigned.

The website providedinformation on the newlabelling system and accessto the health star ratingcalculator.

It’s unclear whether the newwebsite will provide the samedegree of transparency.

The Australian governmentknows that the type of foodspeople are consuming is amajor reason behind thecountry’s high rates ofobesity, and it’s important wemake healthy choices easy.

Despite all the compromisesthat accompany it, today’sannouncement is a step inthe right direction.

Rising cost of good healthAustralia’s health system isfacing sharply rising costsand a growing number ofdemands, according to a newreport released in June 2014.

Minister for Health, PeterDutton, said the Australia’sHealth 2014 report confirmedthat the ageing of Australia’spopulation, chronic diseases,consumer expectations andnew health technologies werefactors in the growingexpense of health andhospital services.

Australians on average arenow living 25 years longerthan a century ago; however,

these improvements comewith a rapidly rising price tag.”Mr Dutton said.

The Australian Institute ofHealth and Welfare reportfound that total healthspending in 2011-12 wasaround $140.2 billion, whichwas 70 per cent higher in realterms than a decade prior.

“The report shows that healthexpenditure has grown in realterms at an average rate of5.4 per cent per year in thepast decade, far outstrippinggrowth in the broadereconomy, which has onlybeen growing at 3.1 per cent.

The biennial Australia’sHealth report, compiled bythe Australian Institute ofHealth and Welfare is themost comprehensive analysisof the health of Australiansand their health system.

The 2014 edition found thatchronic diseases were theleading cause of illness,disability and death inAustralia, accounting for 90per cent of all deaths in 2011.

“These diseases, includingcardiovascular disease,diabetes, cancer and mentalhealth issues, are heavilylinked to lifestyle decisions.

Unless we can turn aroundour disturbingly high rates ofoverweight and obesity, lackof exercise and poor diet,more and more of us willdevelop these seriousillnesses,” Mr Dutton said.

Mr Dutton said “Thegovernment is committed toclosing the gap on Indigenoushealth, just as we aredetermined to ensure that ourhealth system is able todeliver quality, affordablehealth care for all Australiansinto the future.” TO ADVERTISE HERE

The local police would bedelighted to see an end to thishooning; and it won’t be too longand they will nab this guy.
