Further as a crime prevention consideration, the premises will incorporate substantial CCTV both internally and externally covering all the entry and exit points in accordance with the Director of Liquor Licensing’s Policy on Security at Licensed Premises. 1.10 The experienced Applicant has genuinely considered the potential for undue harm and ill-health that may be caused by the use of alcohol, and will put into place a Harm Minimisation Plan (Attachment 1) to minimise any adverse effects to the locality, should this application be approved. 1.11 Along with the Harm Minimisation Plan and the public interest merits of this application, (subject to approval) the proposed liquor store will; Provide a safe, local, convenient packaged liquor amenity to complement and create a convenient and independent option at the Retail Shopping Precinct at 957 Wanneroo Road as expected at a Neighbourhood Centre in the locality by consumers across the state.

Provide the option of low-alcohol liquor products (beer, wine and cider) to promote the responsible consumption of liquor. Offer wine tastings and product knowledge and information. Provide a retail environment that supports local WA and Australia Producers of liquor, particularly smaller producers that are not stocked by the large retail chains that dominate the packaged liquor market in Australia and WA. Offer personalised service through product order forms, so that customers can request products not easily available to them. Provide a contemporary standard of packaged liquor amenity by an independent operator. Implement and enforce a strict Harm Minimisation Plan in the interest of the public and to minimise any undue harm due to the misuse of liquor. Aid in the proper development of the liquor industry and have a positive economic impact with the creation of new jobs, increased amenity and superior convenience for local residents and businesses. 1.12 The conditional grant of the Liquor Store Licence for Wanneroo Cellars will cater to the packaged liquor requirements of the residents and visitors to the Wanneroo locality, that wish to patronise an independent Liquor Store.

The word cloud generated by the consumer survey comments identified the following requirements of local consumers: 1.17 In addition to the Consumer Survey and Letters of Support, the Applicant has also reviewed the City of Wanneroo – Wanneroo Activity Centre Strategy6, with particular attention to Appendix 4 – Economic, Retail and Employment Strategy (Attachment 4) which states: “The Economic, Retail and Employment Strategy (ERE strategy) provides background economic analysis for consideration in the development of the Wanneroo Town Centre Planning Framework (the Framework). The Framework will establish a desired future state for the Wanneroo Town Centre (the Centre) that will guide long- term development for both residential and non-residential1 uses. Improved place activation The Centre was assessed using the ‘six principles of economic place activation’3. There are opportunities to increase economic activation of the Centre by creating an interspersed network of origins and destinations within the Centre, and increasing the permeability of the Centre to the surrounding residential areas (i.e. increasing walkability). This will encourage visitors to experience other attractive offerings within the Centre and can be further encouraged by introducing an additional anchor tenant(s) in the north of the Centre, ideally with a unique offering that will increase diversity and active use hours within the Centre. The Centre will inevitably mature as the surrounding population grows, presenting both new development and redevelopment opportunities.

The Planning Team prepared the plan for the Conservation Commission of Western Australia. Brendan Dooley (Plan Coordinator) Department of Conservation and Land Management Tim Bowra Department of Conservation and Land Management Dennis Cluning City of Joondalup Phil Thompson City of Wanneroo PREFACE Regional parks are areas of regional open space that are identified by planning procedures as having outstanding conservation, landscape and recreation values. Regional parks provide the opportunity for a consortium of management agencies and private landowners to develop co-ordinated planning and management strategies. Regional parks were first proposed in the Stephenson - Hepburn Report of 1955, which later formed the basis of the Perth Metropolitan Region Scheme in 1963. Since then, State planning agencies have been acquiring suitable private land in anticipation of the time when regional parks would be formally created. In 1997, the State government announced a commitment to introduce legislation to give regional parks legal standing and vesting in the former NPNCA, now the Conservation Commission of Western Australia. Eight regional parks were recognised as formal identities, with the co-ordination of their management progressively transferred to the Department of Conservation and Land Management.

  • Australian – New Zealand Scrutiny of Legislation Conference
    Australian – New Zealand Scrutiny of Legislation Conference "Too many cooks?": Parliament, the Courts and the scrutiny of delegated legislation address by The Honourable Wayne Martin AC1 Chief Justice of Western Australia Parliament House Tuesday, 12 July 2016 1 I am indebted to Dr Jeannine Purdy for her assistance in the preparation of this paper. However, responsibility for the opinions expressed and for any errors is mine. Introduction I am honoured to have been invited to address this conference attended by representatives of the Parliaments of Australia and New Zealand and other Parliaments in our region. I extend a warm welcome to delegates from other jurisdictions, all of whom have no doubt travelled long distances to be here. I sincerely hope that you enjoy your stay in Perth and that while you are here you make your contribution to reducing our State's economic dependence upon mining and energy. Acknowledgement of traditional owners To illustrate some of the points I wish to make in this paper, I tell the sorry history of the scrutiny of legislation repealing a guarantee in the State's Constitution which set aside a percentage of gross revenue for the benefit of its original inhabitants. It is therefore more than usually appropriate for me to commence by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet, the Whadjuk people who form part of the great Noongar clan of south-western Australia, to pay my respects to their Elders past and present, and to acknowledge their continuing stewardship of these lands. Visitors to Perth may not be aware that the Noongar people are the largest single Aboriginal cultural bloc on the continent of Australia.2 The river which you will have seen from the terrace as you entered this Parliament, and which we know as the Swan River, is known to the Whadjuk people as Derbarl Yerrigan.

  • Katitjin: a Guide to Indigenous Records in the Battye Library
    a guide to Indigenous records in the Battye Library compiled by Heather Campbell Compiled with the assistance of the Friends of Battye Library with funding from the Maude Sholl Bequest. 1 Friends of Battye Library Inc. Friends of Battye Library (Inc.) was inaugurated on 6 July 1981. Its aim is to assist and promote the interests of the J S Battye Library of West Australian History and the State Records Office, with particular concern for the acquisition, preservation and use of archival and documentary materials. Activities A regular newsletter is produced and meetings are held for members and guests four times each year with the annual general meeting occurring in July. Guest speakers cover many topics relevant to the Battye Library and the State Records Office, including Friends' own projects and research. Volunteers The work of the Battye Library is greatly enhanced by the contribution of Friends of Battye Library volunteers who work on assigned projects and assist in processing material according to their interests or expertise. Enquiries are welcomed from people who would like to work on specific Western Australian projects for a couple of hours or more each week. Friends’ projects Over the years, the Friends have raised money to complete many worthwhile projects. A generous bequest from Maude Sholl, who died on 28 July 1995, has also ensured that projects, such as Katitjin can be undertaken to assist with research into Western Australia’s history. With Friends’ funding, archivists, authors and experienced researchers have been employed to compile inventories of records in both government and private archives’ collections, to assess and organise collections of films in the State Film Archives, to compile several important bibliographies of Western Australian records including maps, and to organise and digitise photographic collections.
