Cambridge Alternative Two Council Model in the Western Suburbs Survey – September 2013 Survey Responses – Other Comments Positive? 1. 1.. Happy as it was. 2.. Acknowledge that State Govt WILL reduce number of Local Auth 3.. Yes Your alternative, as a compromise, from T of C view looks spot on 4.. It would also be great for Subiaco to get what they haven't already - a great Golf Course & other sporting facilities plus first class beaches; without having to merge with 5 others. 5..Need to keep Local Govt LOCAL; otherwise there is no point in having any of you. 2. As a Wembley resident I already strongly identify with Subiaco as our town centre. For Yes example my children are all in the 1st Subiaco Scout Group. We do most of our shopping there. The artifical barrier of the railway has been removed. So I think that the proposal to amalgamate Subiaco and Cambridge makes a lot of sense and I strongly support it. We have nothing in common with the Claremont/Cottesloe/Peppermint Grove/Mosman Park area. 3. As now prersented, the proposal makes very good sense. So much so, that even the Yes extremely stubborn clowns in the State Government should understand the clear logic behind it. A very strong, cohesive sell is what is needed now - in all of the areas and suburbs that are potential inclusions. Very clearly identifying the benefits offered, as opposed to the alternative(s), is key to the success of such a selling effort. Good Luck! 4. Being one large local government defies the whole of idea of 'local' government, I think the Yes only reason the idea has been put forward is to streamline much of the process of building applications which I think, serves a small, rich, component of the community and the whole reform is not being done for the better of the WHOLE community. I also think taking away our right to vote on amalgamations is denying citizens of W.A. their democratic right to have input into the political process. 5. Cambridge, Subiaco and bits of Stirling will still be too small a local government to have No anywhere near the financial capacity required. 6. Don't resist change, go with the flow. If doesn't work, change again. No 7. I agree we need to put forward an alternative to Barnett's idiotic proposal. Another alternative Yes is for Cambridge to merge with Vincent, which was separated from us in the original breakup of the Perth City Council by a previous Coalition government. If I remember rightly Barnett was the minister involved. 8. I have been most impressed by Simon Withers and the Cambridge Council's efforts in this Yes regard, and the City of Subiaco and the Town of Cambridge would have a natural and practical fit together. 9. I like the natural divide. It is an improvement on the previous proposal of 3 western suburbs. I Yes like to commend the town of Cambridge to take these initiatives. The only one with positive alternatives of of seven western councils. Keep up the good work. Hopefully because of the Town's positive feedback we get a better reception with the state government. 10. I would like to see a merged name not just called Subiaco. EG City of Subiaco Cambridge or Yes Cambridge Subiaco or Subiaco Cambridge. DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA OF CAMBRIDGE NAME GOING -- NOT ON Saw what happened in the good old days when we were part of PCC not again I have made it very clear to J Bishop and our NEW Churchlands member recently that if they continue in this line of forcing and not listen to the electors they will have a very clear view by next election in my opinion. 11. It is time to address the historical structure of local government to better match 21st century No context. The Perth metropolitan area is a city and the delivery of services etc should be able to be managed at that scale. The input of 'local' interests and accommodating differences can be dealt with through process and robust representation models that includes cooperative, considerate and community responsive leadership at the elected representative level - all the same (ideals) except at a larger scale (as is State and Federal)...structure by itself is not a solution - people and their behaviour is the key, regardless of structure. 12. Leave as is. No 1 | P a g e Survey Responses – Other Comments Positive? 13. Successful communities are usually fairly homogenous with people of similar circumstances Yes living happily together. Experience shows that where there are groups who have a different view on life or enjoy different life circumstances friction is created that leads to disharmony. As has been pointed out in the Town's proposal, there are clearly different different environmental features between the Northern and Southern halves of the "Western Suburbs" and this leads to different needs and management styles to manage properly. Community representatives will be hard pressed to feel comfortable making decisions on yachting pens and lakeside reserves and beach fishing and surf clubs and railway lines and Stirling Highway so it makes good sense to compartmentalise the various issues in this way. The State Government has pushed on with doctrinaire ideas that do little to enhance the lives of a our communities - a bit like the Communist or Fascist states that we have fought since about 1930. When the state government broke up the City of Perth, we were told it was going to make more efficient Local Governments with lower Rates. Now we are asked to belief that bigger Local Governments will provide efficiencies and lower Rates. What is the real reason for this change? 14. The alternate proposal to combine with Subiaco would make a substantial size council but Yes would still have a sense of local community. Subiaco is in close proximity to Cambridge with many planning issues in common. As a businessman with many years dealing with local government my observations have been the larger the council the less internal accountability in expenditure of ratepayers money. Smaller councils tend to have higher quality management more often with greater work loads but nonetheless they are efficient due to their broader knowledge base and are not smothered down with bureaucracy.

[email protected] BACKGROUND The City of Stirling is the largest Local Authority Council in Western Australia by population. It covers an area of approximately 100 km² in metropolitan Perth and lies about 8 Kilometres North of the Perth CBD. Stirling has key industrial areas at Balcatta, Herdsman and Osborne Park with 11,500 small businesses located within the City, representing 11% of the State's small business, a significant concentration of employment and employers. All these areas are well serviced by major arterial roads with links to the Mitchell Freeway providing easy access to the Perth CBD, Perth Airport and Fremantle as well as the main highways leading north, south and east of the State. The northern suburban rail service from Perth, which runs up the centre of the freeway, passes through the City with stations at Glendalough — servicing Osborne Park and Scarborough Beach; Stirling — servicing the strategic regional centre and complemented by links to an extensive suburban bus network. Warwick station is another well patronised rail inter-change on the northern boarder of the City's boundary. The City is well serviced by regional shopping centres at Karrinyup and Mirrabooka. These centres serve both the local and wider community in the Perth northern corridor. The City also boasts a wide choice of residential areas, from the coastal suburbs of Waterman’s Bay, North Beach, Trigg and Scarborough through to the heritage areas of Mt.

    Hon Sue Ellery MLC Minister for Education and Training Leader of the Legislative Council Your Ref Petition No 5 Our Ref 61-03496 Hon Matthew Swmboum MLC Chair Standing Committee on Environment and Public Affairs Legislative Council Committee Office Parliament House 4 Harvest Terrace WEST PERTH WA 6005 Thank you for your letter dated 17 August 2017 regarding Petition No 5 - Oppose central education plan for Perth Modern School. I am pleased to provide comment on the terms of the petition and the submissions from the principal petitioner and tabling member as requested. 1. Whether the decision to build a new school at Kitchener Park appropriately addresses the significant growth in demand for places at secondary schools in the western suburbs The Government s decision to build Inner City College (planning name) in Subiaco - combined with current works at Churchlands Senior High School and Shenton College, and works in the future at Mount Lawley Senior High School - clearly addresses the significant growth in demand for places at secondary schools in the inner and western suburbs of Perth. Inner City College will be built on Kitchener Park, the grassed area located next to Subiaco Oval currently being used as a car park. Due to significant growth in student numbers in nearby suburbs, the location of the new local- intake school in Subiaco will provide enrolment relief for Churchlands Senior High School, Shenton College and Mount Lawley Senior High School Student enrolment projections show that growth is closer to the central business district than the coast This is mainly due to future population growth on the coast being limited because the coastal strip to the north and south of City Beach has restrictions on the subdivision of land, and because there is a significant number of parks and green spaces in City Beach.
