On the council agenda outlined in the Shire of Gingin Local Planning Strategy which identifies the area for general rural small holdings.”
At this week’s Shire of Gingin monthly council meeting, the most interesting report related to a development application for a proposed use not listed helicopter landing site and hangar on Lot 10 Chitna Road, Neergabby. The report states a 15 metre by 10 metre hangar has been built with limestone blocks and used by the landowner for personal use. No building permit has been granted for the hangar to date and a permit can only be issued once a development approval is granted. The applicants are proposing to conduct scenic/tourist helicopter flights from Lot 10 to the Indian Ocean coast, encompassing the Moore River, around Perth City or north to Lancelin/Cervantes or south to Hillarys. They also intend to take the helicopter to events such as functions and sporting events. It is proposed that there will be no more than three flights on any weekend day and no more than ten flights in total per week. One flight will consist of one take off and one landing. The proposed flight path is to depart from the hangar in a south westerly direction to avoid any flights over neighbouring properties. At the end of the public submission period, 84 submissions were received - 43 did not object and
41 objected to the proposed development. Submitters who have expressed support for this proposal were generally of the view that the business would be beneficial to economic growth and tourism opportunities in the region. The main objections raised concerns about amenity, effect on stock, safety and risk assessment and privacy. The report states: “The commercial use of helicopters and resulting amenity issues will be in conflict with the existing rural character of the area. The use does not contribute to the enhancement and maintenance of the rural character and noise emanating from the commercial use of helicopters will adversely impact on the primary uses of the General Rural zone, which are grazing and horticulture.” The officer’s recommendation was to refuse the development approval for the following reasons: The proposed use is inconsistent with the General Rural zone
under Local Planning Scheme No. 9 Objective (a) which states the objectives of the General Rural zone are to: manage land use changes so that the specific local rural character of the zone is maintained or enhanced; and, if approved, would adversely affect the rural character of the locality; the proposed use is inconsistent with the General Rural zone under Local Planning Scheme No. 9 Objective (b) states: encourage and protect broad acre agricultural activities such as grazing and more intensive agricultural activities such as horticultural as primary uses, with other rural pursuits and rural industries as secondary uses in circumstances where they demonstrate compatibility with the primary use; the amenity of the area will be detrimentally affected by the noise and vibration issues associated with the commercial use of the helicopter, frequency of flights, hours of operation and flight paths; and the proposed use will be in direct conflict with the future strategic planning of the area as
After two deputations and extensive discussion, consideration of various options the council voted to refuse development approval for a commercial helicopter landing site and hanger, but advised the applicant a separate application was required for personal use of the helipad site and hangar. The council agreed that such a business would be great for the region and would work with the applicant to try and find a suitable commercial site for the helicopter business to operate from. In another report, council voted unanimously to support a development application for a proposed restaurant (Coffee/Tea House) at Lot 168 Gingin Road, Lancelin. The property has been recently purchased by the owners, Emma and Jacqueline Lobb, and they wish to convert the bottom section of the house into a small coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. The construction of a boundary wall as a wind break is also requested to provide comfortable seating for their patrons. When renovations are completed, the proponents plan to open between the hours of 8am to
3.30pm and serve fresh barista coffee, a selection of teas, fresh juices with a small lunch menu including cakes and sweets etc. No alcohol, fried food or evening meals will be provided. The application was advertised by way of writing to surrounding landowners, erecting a planning notice onsite and publishing a notice in local newspapers. Three submissions were received, all objecting to the proposed development. The main concerns raised include business competition and car parking. In another report the council were being asked to retrospectively approve a 1.8 metre high fence with barbed wire at Lot 65 Tamarisk Drive, Gabbadah, that did not comply with the fencing regulations. A neighbour, during a deputation, stated the property was ‘fortified’ and a concern to the community as the fence was 2.3 metres high at the moment. In a split decision, the council voted five to four, to approve the fence being lowered to 1.8 metres, the barbed wire removed and climbing plants being planted to conceal the fence from public viewing.

Editor’s viewpoint In an attempt to find out the reason or reasons why about two years ago the City of Wanneroo chief executive officer recommended/ suggested to the council that they should stop communicating/ advertising through the Sun City News to all residents in the outer northern suburbs, has been complicated. Intitally, we were told because we wouldn’t pay $2000 per year to have our circulation figures independently verified, the City of Wanneroo was ceasing their advertising, except for statutory cheap advertising.
I felt there were other reasons. On investigation, I discovered our competitor actually home delivers to less residential properties than the Sun City News. When this was highlighted, the reply was: ‘But they are audited’. Then Sun City News offered to provide a ‘publisher’s statement’ with independent verification as to exactly how many copies are printed. Publisher statements are accepted worldwide, but for some reason, this wasn’t acceptable to the City of Wanneroo.
About three months ago, after seeking legal advice, it was recommended that the Sun City News lodge a Freedom of Information request in an attempt to find out why the Sun City News appears to have been blacklisted by the CEO.
Last week, I received an email stating: “The preliminary search returned approximately 1500 pages.”
Secondly, I’m even more suspicious about what council discussed about the Sun City News to accumulate 1500 pages.
The email also included a charge of over $2000 payable before any documents were released.
Within a couple of days of this lodgement, a City of Wanneroo information officer requested that the scope of the FOI be reduced.
I was shocked on two levels The number of documents and the outrageous cost factor.
Finally, if the City of Wanneroo is so ‘honest, open and accountable’ as they proport, why so much secrecy?
There was one company name, one individual’s name and a three year time already limiting the FOI. How much more could it be limited?
I just find it staggering that the City of Wanneroo would hold so much material about the Sun City News and its editor in its possession - It is mind-boggling to think what’s in the documents.
There is no guarantee that half the pages won’t be blanked out. Local government authorities are experts at delaying, blindsiding and tying up discussion of touchy issues - I am concerned about how the City of Wanneroo is being administered.
Your letters and emails Stop before its to late
Just how many more signs are going to be erected around both Yanchep and Two Rocks? Developers seem to be obsessed with destroying not only the landscape, but the whole area by dotting signage of all sizes up and down the roads. They are not only distracting and downright ugly, but scar the beauty of our towns in the worst way. Haven’t they done enough by tearing every stand of bush out and replacing it with ‘transient flowers’? I say ‘transient’ because as soon as the last block has sold, the developers are ‘OUTA HERE!’ Surely, if the developments are so attractive and great value, they will sell themselves without a bombardment of signage extolling the ‘Cheapest land beachside’ that makes us feel really warm inside . . . We are the cheapest towns in the northern corridor! We have been neglected by council for years, and now, suddenly we have no respite from bulldozers ripping up the topography and replacing it with sand blown ‘deserts’ I will have to recommend to my grandkids that they photograph the lovely coastal vistas before they are gone forever.
Come on council, how about limiting this cheap advertising as you do private signage? Enough now, please stop this huge expansion happening at the moment. It’s overwhelming and where is the water and jobs going to come from? Suzi Logue, Two Rocks. Editor’s comment: Developers and estate managers are basically free to put up whatever signs they like on their own land whilst ever they are selling land in their estate. Different regulations apply when they want to advertise on land they don’t own.
Wanneroo Survey I was reading your editorial regarding the survey on the Community facility for Yanchep/Two Rocks, and you may wish to share with Sun City News readers that the closing date is 25 November.
Unfair I find it disgraceful that the council’s expects volunteer community groups to pay for every hour they use a community facility. Exactly what is council’s ethos?
Heather Powell, via email.
We pay ever-rising rates, every year for little or no return, we pay for staff/ councillors trips, wages and skills to manage our assets in the best interest of the wider community.
Editor’s comment: More and more local government authorities are assuming all residents are connected to the internet. They are wrong!
Charging ridiculous hire fees and demanding excessive insurances is killing the local volunteer community groups - Is that what councils want? Name and address supplied.
They may find the easiest route to the survey is:- https:// www.wanneroo.wa.gov.au/ consultations/59-yancheptwo-rocks-community-facility

Western Australia is simply outstanding. I’m very excited to be bringing together some of these fresh ingredients for this unique brunch. “There will be a few hundred half lobster tails on the grill – it will be quite a sight.”

Mr Foley said: “The project worked because of fantastic community support. “It’s wonderful to see the changes we’ve achieved together and the play space gives families who use it a sense of ownership,”
The multi-sensory environment is designed for two to four year olds to help develop their fine and gross motor skills. It includes water play and edible plant walls, a mirror wall, musical interaction space, pram and trike track, community mural and new native plantings. City of Wanneroo Mayor Tracey Roberts said
community arts funding in the city’s budget helped pay for the project and local playgroups were also successful in receiving a Jindowie Community Grant of $500 to buy trikes and toys. Parents who come to the launch can register their interest in joining a playgroup in 2016 while their children enjoy the fun outdoor music and water zone.

Dean Nalder talks with the Sun City News DN: The section of Marmion Avenue between Butler and Yanchep is a local road under the care and management of the City of Wanneroo. The timing of any future dualling would be a matter for Council to consider. Notwithstanding this, the State Government assists local governments in regard to the upgrade and maintenance of the roads under council control. In the current financial year, some $150 million is being provided by the State to local governments to assist with works on their roads.
Last week, the Sun City News found Dean Nalder (Minister for Transport) and his wife, Colette, enjoying an afternoon at The Pickled Herring listening to the Sunday entertainment. Mr Nalder generously agreed to an interview with the Sun City News. SCN: Having noticed you are the Member for Alfred Cove, this is a long way from you growing up in the country – How did this come about? DN: Having worked interstate for a number of years within the banking sector and moving from city to city, Colette and I decided to settle in Applecross so that the kids could go to school in one place, especially in their high school years. We’ve now been here for over 10 years and love the home we’ve created in this beautiful part of WA. Our country connections are still very strong in Pingelly and Wagin, but we are very happy to call Applecross home SCN: How do you know John Young from The Pickled Herring? DN: John was my Under 13’s footy coach in Wagin when I was growing up. He was also my first boss – I use to stack shelves in one of his shops in Wagin as a teenager. We’ve kept in touch over the years and Colette and I enjoy visiting him and his lovely wife Shey in Two Rocks whenever we can. John
SCN: Rail to Yanchep?
is a terrific bloke who has always been very involved in every community he has been a part of. SCN: Could you provide a brief outline of how you meet your wife and your family? DN: Colette and I are both country kids – Colette grew up in Pingelly and I grew up in Wagin. We both went to boarding school in Perth. Our families all knew each other, as you do in the country, so we spent a bit of time together growing up. We now have three beautiful kids, who are 21, 19 and 17. They’re all starting to branch out and do their own things but we remain a very tight knit family. SCN: With the outer northern coastal corridor expanding very fast, as Minister for Transport how and when do you see
Mitchell Freeway being extended to Romeo Road and beyond? DN: The State Government is currently constructing an extension of Mitchell Freeway from Burns Beach Road to Hester Avenue at a cost of $261 million. This project is going well as is expected to be completed in early 2017. The next stage, from Hester Avenue to Romeo Road is estimated to cost in the order of $190 million. Given the current economic climate, this further extension will need to be considered as part of the annual Budget process and compete against other high priority projects across the state. SCN: Dualling of Marmion Avenue between Butler and Yanchep?
DN: The PTA is currently developing a draft business case for future consideration by Government. The Government’s public transport priority is the delivery of the $2billion Forrestfield-Airport Link. It should be noted that the Government completed the extension of the Joondalup train line to Butler in 2014 which included significant investment in the bus route network feeding the station from the suburbs to the north including Yanchep and Two Rocks SCN: It is great to see the Two Rocks marina get updating, what other plans are proposed to accommodate the massive growth/demand factor for access to the ocean around Yanchep/ Two Rocks? DN: I recently announced that work is to start in November 2015
to double the boat launching capacity at Two Rocks Marina. This is the final stage of the total $1.17 million State Government upgrade. Since assuming short-term operational management of the facility in November 2014, the Department of Transport has been working with local stakeholders and marina users to develop a work plan to improve operations at the increasingly busy site. The first stage of the project is complete, which has seen repairs and maintenance to the boat trailer parking area and the approach to the boat launching ramp undertaken. I have requested the Department of Transport engage with all stakeholders on the planning of the longer term development of the harbour. SCN: Thanks for giving up some of your leisure time to talk with the Sun City News.

Around 80 Lancelin locals turned up at Wangeree Park, Lancelin, earlier this month, to voice their support for the new Lancelin Tourist Park. A Channel 7 crew were in town doing a story on the
park which is in the final stages of state government approval following the Federal Department of the Environment giving the green light to the reduced-size design. The group of 80, which
Lancelin District Community Association president, Bevan Henderson, spoke to the group and media before others in the group spoke their mind including Steve Landreth, Brent Back and a handful of others. The overwhelming concern was that if this proposal did not get up, the state
government would take their $10m and move on. The group were in support of the recent downgrading of the park from 10ha to just under 8ha and felt it was vital for the town to cater for campers and caravaners with a modern park near the town centre. It was a remarkable show of support for the $10m park which WA Tourism has earmarked as a vital piece of infrastructure for the town. Many of the longer term locals agreed they’d never seen a group that large gathered to voice their support for any project.

Behind the fun and magic of side show alley
Appointments call Donna on
9561 6336 or 0403 768 933 4 Foreshore Vista,Yanchep
Charismatic, hard-working, energetic and entertaining, showmen have been bringing the magic and wonder of side show alley to showgrounds around WA since the middle of last century.
Wanneroo Agricultural Society president, Dot Newton, said she looked forward to having the ‘big rides, which were such a vibrant part of show time, again at Wanneroo this year.
Collectively represented by the WA Showmen’s Association, which came into being in 1958, todays’ members are generally third generation descendants of show people.
Mrs Newton said with arts and crafts exhibits, children’s exhibits, entertainment, horse events and an abundance of rides at side show alley, the Wanneroo Agricultural Society Show promised something for everyone.
Great raconteurs, they have learned about their business from parents and grandparents who travelled around our vast state setting up the rides, food vans, games and entertainment that form such a big part of show time. But, while images of itinerant fun-loving showmen have been formed in the popular psyche as a result of Hollywood movies, the reality is different. Survival
in
the
highly
regulated industry demands multi-million dollar investments from the family run businesses that bring the fun of side show alley to the showgrounds. Where once a showman would put his informally trained hand to a variety of construction, transport, cooking, rigging or even minor electrical tasks; today’s showmen hold an old an extensive array of tickets and qualifications.
Showmen now provide more sophisticated lighting, a larger array of family amusement games, along with traditional rides and some bigger, faster and more thrill giving rides.
She said the Wanneroo Show, which was first held in 1909, had grown to become the state’s largest regional agricultural show and the premier community event within the Wanneroo region.
If you visit show alley at Wanneroo Show this year look out or try out some of the newest rides such as the Star Flyer, WA’s tallest travelling ride or the Cliff Hanger, a ride that offers the experience of lying in a glider while having a controlled gliding flight.
The Wanneroo Show is held on Friday 27 November from 4.00pm to 10.30pm and Saturday 28 November from 9.00am through to 10.30pm. Don’t forget to stay for the fireworks.
Ambulance service celebrates 50 years On Sunday, 8 November, the Chittering/Gingin Ambulance Service celebrated their 50th anniversary at Bindoon Town Hall with 120 invited guests attending. Attendees at the ‘High Tea’ included: the first ambulance brigade, drivers, dispatch operators, home nursing carers, trainers, ambulance officers; past and present committee members, community
members who volunteer in varying capacities and representatives from St John Ambulance WA. As well as a display of uniform and equipment memorabilia, friendships were reacquainted and countless stories reminisced, which made for a cheerful occasion.

Indian Ocean Drive improvements
Widening the road pavement to nine metres will greatly improve safety for all road users.”
Works are under way to widen a 9.3 kilometre section of Indian Ocean Drive, north of Perth. The works began in early November to widen the section from the Brand Highway to Cliff Head. Minister for Transport, Dean Nalder, said: “Indian Ocean Drive is a popular route for tourists and locals.
This section of the road ranges in width from 6.4 metres to 7.4 metres. Audible edgelines will be installed, giving the driver a noise warning through the tyres if the vehicle drifts toward the edge of the road. WBHO Infrastructure Pty Ltd was awarded the $1.3 million contract to deliver the works by mid-December. Plans are under way to install solar powered street lighting at the intersection of Indian Ocean Drive and The Lakes Road, near Green Head, in 2016.
