  • Caravan Travel Leads the Way in Accessible Tourism
    BEGINS-- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 22 SEPTEMBER 2016 Caravan Travel Leads the Way in Accessible Tourism Anthony Wake is a man passionate about providing people with disabilities the same opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors as anyone else. So much so, he launched the first Australian business that designs caravans for people in wheelchairs, by people in wheelchairs. September 27 is World Tourism Day and this year we celebrate accessible tourism across the globe. Tourism for all! Accessible Tourism is about creating environments that can cater for the needs of everyone, whether that be due to a disability, getting older and even for families with small children. The Caravan Industry Association of Australia says many of its industry businesses lead the way in accessible travel, whether that be by providing options for a range of budgets, accessible facilities in holiday parks, or even purpose-built caravans. Anthony Wake is one such example. He always loved camping as an able-bodied person, but found it challenging after suffering a spinal cord injury that left him paraplegic and confined to a wheelchair. He kept at it though, trialling out different set ups with varying success in an effort to continue travelling the way he loved most. Eventually he decided that to truly live the Aussie dream with his wife, a modified caravan would be the answer – and it was! Anthony says, “We were back on the road having a ball just like everyone else. It gave us the freedom we needed to go anywhere, anytime”. Anthony’s caravan became a point of interest for fellow caravanners and after many suggestions to do so, he finally decided to start designing and building fully accessible wheelchair caravans so others could enjoy the same freedoms.

  • Mingalkala Layout Plan 1 Background Report
    Mingalkala Layout Plan 1 Background Report September 2005 Date endorsed by WAPC Amendments Amendment 1 - April 2013 Amendment 2 - August 2018 Amendment 3 - July 2020 MINGALKALA LAYOUT PLAN 1 Layout Plan 1 (LP1) was prepared during 2005 by Sinclair Knight Merz. LP1 has been endorsed by the resident community (25 July 2005), the Shire of Halls Creek (25 August 2005) and the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) (27 September 2005). During the period April 2013 until August 2018 the WAPC endorsed 2 amendments to LP1. The endorsed amendments are listed in part 7 of this report. Both amendments were map-set changes, with no changes made to the background report. Consequently, the background report has become out-of-date, and in June 2020 it was updated as part of Amendment 3. The Amendment 3 background report update sought to keep all relevant information, while removing and replacing out-of-date references and data. All temporal references in the background report refer to the original date of preparation, unless otherwise specified. As part of the machinery of government (MOG) process, a new department incorporating the portfolios of Planning, Lands, Heritage and Aboriginal lands and heritage was established on 1st of July 2017 with a new department title, Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage. Since the majority of this report was finalised before this occurrence, the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage will be referred to throughout the document. Other government departments mentioned throughout this document will be referred to by their department name prior to the 1st of July 2017. Mingalkala Layout Plan No.
