Site in Focus: Collaboration brings benefits to City of Swan Waterway By the EMRC The Friends of Wangalla Brook is a young community group formed from teachers, students and parents connected with the Clayton View Primary School in Koongamia. The friends have started to remove weeds including Watsonia and conduct understo- rey planting through the degraded creek- line. The group will now receive additional support via the Eastern Regional Catch- ment Management Program (ERCMP). Through this collaboration between the EMRC and City of Swan, two grants have been awarded to the group; one through the Federal Community Environment Pro- gram (CEP) and another through DBCA Community Rivercare. The cash value of the grants is $27,872 with in-kind contribu- tions from volunteers, the City of Swan and Flannel flower (Actinotus leucocephalus) in the the EMRC totalling $40,438. recovering bushland (Dec 2019) These vital funds will allow the group to Photo: EMRC engage specialist weed contractors and purchase 3000 more native plants. The group will receive project support from the EMRC while it builds on its member base and the City of Swan is contributing specialised weed control from its Aboriginal Landcare Trainee Team along with additional plants. The EMRC will be running a series of environmental themed work- shops with school students to develop skills in the local youth. The Wangalla Brook is rich in Whadjuk Noongar history and the grants will facilitate com- munity events which will bring Aboriginal Elders on to country to share their tradi- tional knowledge. Flora and fauna walks will be conducted Wangalla Brook to educate the community on the natural values of the bushland adjoining to the creek. There will also Photo: EMRC be a nest box building workshop at the school where students will learn how to create habitat for birds. Through these activities we will build community participa- tion and equip locals with the knowledge they need to continue caring for the Wangalla Brook, preserving it for future generations. Join the war against European Wasps! By the EMRC The hunt is on again for European Wasps (Vespula germanica), a declared pest which is considered one of the worst wasps in the world and is impacting Perth’s Eastern Region. This highly aggressive introduced species, originating from Europe and North Africa, is harmful to people and threatens our natural ecosystems and horticultural and agricultural industries. European wasps are opportunistic predators and scavengers and will feed on human and pet food, posing a public safety risk. This characteristic is a feature of European Wasps and is not observed in other native wasp species. They also predate on vulnerable animals and other live insects, including bees, which decreases biodiversity and disturbs pollination. This has a flow-on effect, impacting on the agricultural industry and home gardeners alike. Summer is the best time to locate the nests of European Wasps as they leave their nests to scavenge for food. 90% of European Wasp nests are hidden underground, with wasps fly- A European Wasp ing in and out of a single hole. This is a distinctive characteristic of this wasp species. Other Photo: Department of Primary distinguishable characteristics include their black feelers/antennae, as opposed to the simi- Industries and Regional Develop- lar looking Paper Wasp which has orange/yellow antennae.

For more information on how to identify this pest species, follow this link: https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/european-wasp/ european-wasp-identification-guide. Unfortunately, a number of European Wasp nests have been found across the Cities of Kalamunda and Swan and the Shire of Mundaring. If you suspect you have seen European Wasps in your area, please contact the Pest and Disease Information Service (PaDIS) on 08 9368 3080 or [email protected]. Alternatively, you can create a report online via MyPestGuide at https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/pests-weeds-diseases/mypestguide. You can also volunteer to participate in the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development’s (DPIRD) ‘Adopt-a-trap’ program, where you can adopt a surveillance trap and monitor it during the European Wasp season (December to May). If you would like more information about this program, please follow this link: https:// www.agric.wa.gov.au/european-wasp/european-wasp-adopt-trap-initiative. Let’s work together to help eradicate European Wasps from Western Australia. Comparing European Wasps with other native wasps and insects. Photo: Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development's Agriculture and Food Division Is Lake Leschenaultia a healthy lake? By the EMRC On a cool summer’s morning in January families met at Lake Leschenaultia to take water samples and assess the health of the lake. Recording pH and salinity levels and discovering what is lurking beneath the water’s surface is an effective way to do this. Activities at Lake Leschenaultia The cool morning didn’t stop eager chil- Photo: EMRC dren and adults wading through the water to collect water samples and find aquatic animals which were identified using identification charts and Iscopes. They found fresh water snails; leeches; water boatmen; damselfly larvae; caddis fly larvae and dragon- fly larvae and of course lots of shrimp and gambusia fish (Mosquito fish, which is a pest species found in most water bodies in Australia). Participants tested pH and salinity using a water meter and then compared the pH using common pool or fish tank pH strips, which proved to be very accurate. The value of captivating a group of people and introducing them to an aquatic ecosystem cannot be underestimated. This activity was an opportunity to discuss the impact people have on local catchments and consequently the health of the Swan River. Lake Leschenaul- tia belongs to the Wooroloo Brook catchment which is made up of many tributaries that run into the Wooroloo Brook, which then flows into the Swan River at the confluence of the Avon and Swan River. Human activities such as feeding water birds can have a nega- tive effect on the health of the native animals plus increase the nutrient levels in the wa- ter. This increases soil bacteria which can lead to avian botulism, which commonly results in paralysis in the birds. Other activities such as littering, erosion from vehicles and the spread of weeds all decrease the quality of the water, which directly effects native plants and animals using it for survival. Lake Leschenaultia supports the lives of many native animals, i.e. frogs, water birds, rep- tiles and mammals and of course the macro-invertebrates. Based on these observations it appears that the lake is healthy!

  • Regional Fiano
    REGIONAL FIANO WINE Regional Fiano VINTAGE 2018 REGION Margaret River VARIETY Fiano ANALYSIS Alcohol 13.5%, pH 3.26, TA 6.7 g/L VINTAGE & WINEMAKING NOTES The 2018 vintage was moderate, mild and a good year to grow Fiano in Margaret River. Rainfall in early January renewed canopies across the region and resulted in beautifully ripe, varietally pure wines that are brimming with perfect, delicate, natural acidity. This select parcel of Margaret River Fiano was harvested in the cool night and transported to Millbrook in the early hours of the morning. The fruit was gently pressed taking only the pure free-run juice, before racking from any solids. Fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures in stainless steel to retain freshness, with a select yeast strain chosen to enhance the varietal expression of this Southern Italian variety. This wine underwent minimal fining and filtration prior to being bottled. TASTING NOTES Colour Brilliant pale lemon. Aroma Lifted lemon, pear and green apple skin with lovely floral, spice and honey notes. Palate A dry, crisp and clean expression of Fiano, showing pear and green apple notes with a twist of fresh lemon zest. Beautifully textural, with good length and an interesting, almost saline edge. CELLARING Enjoy now, lightly chilled. MILLBROOK.WINE | | REGIONAL RANGE The Millbrook Regional range highlights the quality and diversity of Western Australia’s wine regions. Millbrook’s winemakers have identified specific regions best suited to the varieties in the range in order to make expressive, vibrant and varietally pure wines, which perfectly match a range of cuisines.

  • Connection Is Dependent on Further Development in the Hills That Is Currently Not Planned
    SUBMISSION FROM SALLY BLOCK RE. PETITION No. 54-GIDGEGANNUP URBAN PRECINCT We confirm that we have nottaken our complaint to the Parliamentary Commission for Administrative Investigations. We urge the Committee to investigate this matter further. This development is unique in Western Australia and has the potential to change the nature and amenity of the Perth Hills. There are significant complex issues and a high level of inter-governmental coordination and private sector clarity is necessary. Further enquiry could contribute to this process greatly. The North Eastern Hills Settlement Pattern Plan (NEHSPP) was workshopped over a lengthy period encompassing both the community and Government to ensure that the recommendations would preserve the "Hills Lifestyle". To this end the recommendation was made that three small Townsites would appearthe most appropriate developments in the North Eastern Hills, with total populations in the order of 4000 people. A large townsite was deemed unsuitable given the potential of such a townsite to impact on the "Hills Lifestyle". The Gidgegannup townsite area was just over 200 ha. The proposed area has now expanded to 296.6 ha with a possible second stage to increase the area to 429 ha. The number of lots has been set at 1500 or more dependent on what is needed to fund infrastructure requirements. The impact of the water pipeline to service this proposed development could also have a significant effect on the Hills villages through which it passes in terms of development that is not currently planned. The community does in fact welcome development of our Townsite, justthat it should be appropriate development conforming to our planning documents that have been in place for many years and have had considerable inputfrom the community.
