    Federal priorities for Western Australia April 2013 Keeping Western Australians on the move. Federal priorities for Western Australia Western Australia’s rapid population growth coupled with its strongly performing economy is creating significant challenges and pressures for the State and its people. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the State’s road and public transport networks. Kununurra In March 2013 the RAC released its modelling of projected growth in motor vehicle registrations which revealed that an additional one million motorised vehicles could be on Western Australia’s roads by the end of this decade.

    Perth Conference Program 18-20 July 2017 #3wscc 2 | 3rd Water Sensitive Cities Conference 3rd Water Sensitive Cities Conference Perth — 18–20 July 2017 — #3wscc Welcome from the Chairman As we pass the midway point, the CRC for Water Sensitive Cities (CRCWSC) is at an exciting cusp in its mission to change how the world’s towns and cities manage water to benefit their sustainability, economic growth, quality of life, and the ecosystems that support urban places. We are celebrating the extensive bank of research achievements of the last 5 years. But we are also looking firmly ahead to a dedicated program of research and adoption activities that ensure that the invaluable knowledge produced is translated, applied, and made available for on-ground impact and implementation in transforming our streets, precincts, and cities. There are bold new directions ahead too: while our priority will remain to deliver on our commitments to our partners, we are acutely aware of the potential for a greater reach throughout Australia and overseas, particularly the growing opportunities to use the knowledge and proof-of-concepts from our research to drive positive change in developing countries. It’s this eye on the future, and on tangible impact, that guide our future plans and align with both national and international momentum towards Water Sensitive Cities. On behalf of the Board, I welcome you warmly to the 3rd Water Sensitive Cities Conference. The next three days mark a unique opportunity for the CRCWSC to share work that will shape how we use new water sensitive knowledge. As delegates, you will receive some of the first insights into the emerging suite of new products, tools, and processes that will increasingly enable Water Sensitive City transitions, both in Australia and overseas.

  • Three Boys LIVING in LAKE STREET 1941---1967 Con Christ
    Three boys LIVING IN LAKE STREET 1941---1967 Con Christ 1 This is the story of three boys who grew up in Lake Street, Perth in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. But first, a little of our background: Our Grandfather, Argyrios Antione Bozinopoulous, known to everyone as “Pop” left the family home in North Western Greece to travel to Western Australia. His plan was to make a fortune then return to his homeland with enough money to buy lots of property. He left behind his wife, Anna, known to all as ‘Buba’, Kalliope his seven year old daughter, and Vangel his baby son. He would not see them for another fourteen years. Pop joined many other migrants from various parts of southern Europe travelling ‘cattle class’ in the Re d’Italia (‘King of Italy’). There was room for 120 first class passengers and 1200 third class (‘cattle class’) passengers. Pop finally landed in his newly adopted land on a hot summer Sunday, December 20, 1924. He was admitted to Australia under the name of Argyrios Antione Bousianoppolos and was taken to Woodman Point, Western Australia’s migrant reception centre at the time for a compulsory two week stay. In early January a truck came for the new migrants who were then taken to various places in mainly South Western Australia to assist in the government sponsored soldier/serviceman land allocation scheme known as the ‘Soldier Settlement Scheme’ which basically was to clear bush land ready for farming. Two years later he was involved in the running of the Macedonian House, situated at 242 William Street Perth which served as a café, hotel, social service unit, meeting place and a clearing house for new arrivals from the old country.
