    ISSUE 38 Simon Baker film to boost Denmark TV star’s feature film of Tim Winton novel Funding secured through the GSDC helped to clinch a decision to produce a feature film of Tim Winton’s award-winning novel Breath in the Great Southern. Australian actor and star of The Mentalist Simon Baker visited Denmark on Friday 10 July for the announcement of the project. The production of Breath is supported by $1.5 million in State Government Royalties for Regions funding administered through the GSDC and $800,000 through ScreenWest. Mr Baker will star in and direct the film, and said he was familiar with the book. A location-scouting tour of the South West included a visit to Denmark, and Mr Baker said he and Australian producer Jamie Hilton immediately felt it was the right place to make the film. Culture and Arts Minister John Day (left), actor and director Simon Baker (centre) and Regional Development Minister Terry Redman celebrate “It was just the feel of the place and the the announcement of the Great Southern sense of community environment that rung production of the feature film Breath. out and felt special,” Mr Baker said. “We knew right there.

  • Implementation Strategies for a Heritage Trail That Would Link the Great Southern Shires in Western Australia
    PROJECT # 31009 Implementation strategies for a heritage trail that would link the Great Southern Shires in Western Australia The “Heritage of Endeavour” project. By Michael Hughes and Jim Macbeth ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, we acknowledge the contribution of Lindley Chandler to this final report. Lindley undertook this project as part of her Masters degree and carried out all of the basic ground work and community consultation. Unfortunately, due to ill health, Lindley was unable to write the final report. Nonetheless, the report is based on her work in the Central Great Southern. Russell Pritchard, Regional Officer with the Great Southern Development Commission, provided invaluable advice and support in further developing and crystallising the ideas within this report. Many other Central Great Southern community members contributed information as detailed in the reference list at the end of the report. The authors also acknowledge the support of the Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre, an Australian Government initiative, in funding this project.

The Association is an independent, membership-based group representing and supporting the work and interests of 138 Local Governments in Western Australia. The Association provides an essential voice for over 1,200 elected members and approximately 15,000 Local Government employees as well as over 2.5 million constituents of Local Governments in Western Australia. The Association also provides professional advice and offers services that provide financial benefits to the Local Governments and the communities they serve. For Local Governments in remote parts of Western Australia, efficient, cost effective air services that ensure accessibility for residents, visitors, workers and service providers underpin the economic and social sustainability of the region. For this reason, Local Governments and the Local Government Association value this Inquiry and the opportunity to provide a submission. As part of a range of considerations in relation to tourism, in March 2017 the WALGA State Council endorsed a policy to advocate that the State Government undertake measures to reduce the cost and improve the scheduling and routes of regional air services.
