    Shire of Cranbrook, hosted Regional Development Forum, and EDA Economic Development Toolkit 23 / 24 October 2012 Cranbrook Western Australia October 2012 Report from EDA Regional and Remote Areas Training Program Introduction The Shire of Cranbrook is located 300km south of Perth and 100km north of Albany Western Australia. It is predominantly an Agricultural and Viticultural based economy. For the past 7 years the Shire of Cranbrook has been a leader in economic development in the Great Southern Region being the only Shire with an economic development practitioner . The council has had a positive economic focus and shows great vision for the future of the Cranbrook Shire. A great deal has been achieved in the past few years. The Regional Development Forum and Economic Development Tool Kit event was conceived, not so much to gain information for Cranbrook, but to demonstrate what small communities are capable of achieving. This Shire and some of its surrounding neighbours were named in a desktop study by Professor Andrew Beer from Adelaide, as some of the most vulnerable in the country to climate change. The report is titled Beer, A., Tually, S., Kroehn, M. and Law, J. Australia’s Country Towns 2050: What Will a Climate Adapted Settlement Pattern Look Like? Cranbrook was named as the most vulnerable town in Western Australia. Following the release of this report some media articles appeared with headlines like “Death Knocks” and resultant cartoons. Local concerns were that this coverage would impact on the image of the area and its residents. This type of negative press may have had the ability to negate some of the development efforts being undertaken.

    2015 Local Government Ordinary Elections Report

    2015 Local Government Ordinary Elections Election Report April 2016 W ESTERN AUSTRALIAN Electoral Commission Foreword At the October 2015 local government ordinary elections, the Western Australian Electoral Commission was contracted to manage the largest number of postal elections it had ever conducted. In addition to six in person elections, the Commission was asked to run 82 postal elections under the Local Government Act 1995. With voting in local government elections being non-compulsory in Western Australia, postal elections typically result in a higher participation rate by eligible electors than in person ballots, as they offer most electors greater convenience and accessibility. Making the Electoral Commissioner responsible for these elections also enables local government CEOs and staff to remain at arms-length from potentially contentious aspects of the electoral process. Since they were first trialled in 1995, the number of local governments adopting postal elections has progressively increased. The local governments deciding to conduct a postal election in 2015 comprised some 1,433,575 electors, which is about 98% of the State’s total number of eligible electors. At the close of nominations, 964 candidates had nominated for 419 vacancies resulting in 75 separate postal elections. The highest participation rate for postal elections, both for country and metropolitan local governments in 2015 was the Shire of Mt Marshall with 82.7% and the City of Perth with 37.8%, with an overall Statewide participation rate of 27.5%. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of all returning officers and Commission staff in the planning and conduct of the 2015 ordinary elections and each of the local governments for the assistance and cooperation provided by their staff.

    Important information The Walpole Weir and Butler’s Creek Dam catchment areas drinking water source protection plan (2007, WRP no. 58) was reviewed in 2016. Please ensure you also read the Walpole Weir Catchment Area drinking water source protection review (2016, WRP no.153) alongside the 2007 plan to obtain all of the information about this drinking water source. The 2016 review considers changes that have occurred in and around the Walpole Weir Catchment Area since the completion of the 2007 plan. Additional recommendations have been prepared to ensure the ongoing protection of this public drinking water source area: • including the Swann Road bores and protecting them with wellhead protection zones • reflecting new land ownership by Department of Water and Water Corporation, and new priority 1 (P1) areas • flagging the need for the Water Corporation to investigate alternative water sources.
