Federal Priorities for Western Australia April 2013 Keeping Western Australians on the Move
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. This growth, combined with significant developments in Derby and around the Perth CBD, is placing increasing strain on an already Great Northern Hwy Broome Fitzroy Crossing over-stretched transport network. Halls Creek The continued prosperity of regional Western Australia, primarily driven by the resources sector, has highlighted that the existing Wickham roads do not support the current Dampier Port Hedland or future resources, Karratha tourism and economic growth, both in terms Exmouth of road safety and Tom Price handling increased Great Northern Highway - Coral Bay traffic volumes.

Regional Roads Risking Lives
Tuesday 13 October 2015 Regional roads risking lives RAC has today released its 12 month Risky Roads campaign scorecard, revealing that work still needs to be done on some of WA’s most dangerous regional roads. RAC General Manager Corporate Affairs, Will Golsby, said the scorecard looked at the progress made on the roads that were nominated by the community as the State’s riskiest roads 12 months ago. “We acknowledge and welcome the construction underway on some of the regional roads identified, but we’re extremely concerned that that work on the rest has not commenced,” Mr Golsby said. Last year, the WA community nominated 70 percent of the State’s riskiest roads to be in regional WA, including Bussell Highway in Capel, Toodyay Road from Red Hill to Toodyay, Great Eastern Highway from Coolgardie to Southern Cross, Great Northern Highway in Bindi-Bindi, Bruce Rock-Merredin Road in Merredin, South Western Highway in Manjimup, Indian Ocean Drive in Lancelin and Coalfields Highway in Collie. The 12 month scorecard reveals that Bussell Highway in Capel remains unchanged with poor road quality and a lack of overtaking opportunities, Bruce Rock-Merredin Road in Merredin needs improvement of its poor road quality and width, and Indian Ocean Drive in Lancelin is in desperate need of construction to improve the quality of its road and provide better overtaking opportunities. “These results highlight the need for the State Government to deliver more funding, but the current State Budget only confirms a reduction in spending. “This is on top of the huge backlog in road maintenance which was identified in 2009 by the Auditor General, and estimated to be $800 million. -

The Productivity Commissioners PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION
Mr John Shawcross 92 Macrae Street Applecross WA 6160 July 20th 2005 The Productivity Commissioners PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION INQUIRY INTO HISTORIC HERITAGE Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission to this inquiry. I make my submission as a private citizen. While it is difficult to prove with hard facts, I have no doubt that where we choose to conserve our historic heritage, the economic, environmental and social benefits far outweigh the costs. Conversely, the lack of care of Australia's historic heritage over the last 40 years has had a disastrous effect on the environment of our central cities, towns and suburbs. Demolition of historic buildings and streetscapes which gave our cities and towns a high level of amenity has been driven by a taste for the ‘shiny and new’, and a belief that new buildings were automatically cheaper, more profitable and more efficient. In so many cases however, the demolished structures have been replaced by low- quality modern buildings that are ugly, poorly designed, inhospitable to pedestrians and ‘city life’ generally, and of poor durability. Short-term and unimaginative thinking has dominated the investment decisions that have driven this kind of development. It has diminished the environment of Australia's cities and towns, and it has also undermined the long term social and economic attractiveness of many areas for investment, business-migration and people. Some may say that this is unimportant, because in reality investment has simply moved elsewhere in the Australian marketplace. Instead of high quality main streets we have high levels of investment in amortizable office space, suburban shopping malls, suburban cinemas, entertainment megaplexes (casinos, convention centres, stadiums, etc), chain stores and so on. -

Kadampa Meditation Centre Perth Kadampa Meditation Centre Perth was the first Kadampa Centre in Australia. Incorporated in 1995 as Dharmapala Buddhist Centre, it began in a house in Ardross. Over the next 18 years, as the community grew, the Centre operated from increasingly larger rental properties in Applecross, East Fremantle and Fremantle. In 2012, following years of fundraising activities, the property at 158 Canning Highway, East Fremantle was purchased and Dharmapala Buddhist Centre became (Dharmapala) Kadampa Meditation Centre Perth.
