  • Precinct 11 Middle Swan – Middle Swan Road to Ellen Brook
    Precinct 11 Middle Swan – Middle Swan Road to Ellen Brook 1 Summary Middle Swan – Middle Swan Road to Ellen Brook The Swan River makes loose, relatively regular graceful meanders forming in places a quite steep river valley. The river channel is quite narrow until it broadens downstream from the Jane Brook confluence. As the river has remained 'untrained', the water forms an attractive irregular pathway through the often quite deep river valley. Several tributaries and smaller drainage lines enter the Swan River at this precinct. These tributaries have gouged fluvial valleys through the soft sandy plains. Small wetlands have formed in the depressions of the undulating plains. There is a narrow strip of indigenous fringing vegetation along this section of the river. The communities are dominated by flooded gum and swamp paperbark. The river banks are lined with emergent reeds and in places where the riparian vegetation has been removed a variety of weeds have invaded the bank. There are several locations were steep unvegetated banks have eroded due to periods of high water and consequently unattractive scars are left on the river banks. One of the most dominant landscape elements in the precinct is the vineyards. The rows of the lush green vines against the ploughed red earth provide a distinctive and attractive landscape feature. In addition, there are several historic buildings in the area which provide focal points in the viewscapes. The distribution of the residential dwellings and agricultural sheds is sparse compared to further downstream. Access to the river by the public is quite difficult due to rural land lots adjacent to most parts of the riparian area.

  • Priorities for Western Australia July 2015 » Federal Priorities for Western Australia 2015
    For the better 6 October 2015 Committee Secretary Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 [email protected] Dear Ms McDonald RAC's response to the Motor Vehicle Standards (Cheaper Transport) Bill 2014 Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the Motor Vehicle Standards (Cheaper Transport) Bill 2014 (the Bill). As a leading advocate on the mobility issues and challenges facing Western Australia (WA), RAC is pleased to provide this response on behalf of over 820,000 members. RAC works collaboratively with all levels of Government to ensure Western Australians have access to safe, accessible, and sustainable mobility options. RAC is making a real contribution to sustainable mobility in Western Australia by delivering the RAC Electric Highway®. The first of its kind in Australia, it builds on an idea by a Western Australian community based committee and is a network of publicly accessible electric vehicle fast-charging stations located between Perth and Augusta. Road transport remains the dominant means of transport for goods and passengers and consistently accounts for around three quarters of transport energy use. Within this, petrol and diesel fuels make up around three quarters of transport fuel used and as a result small improvements in fuel efficiency can have a significant impact on air quality and carbon dioxide (C02) emissions. Now is an opportune time to ensure Western Australian motorists have access to safe, affordable and efficient vehicles. The 2014 National Transport Commission's Information Paper found Australia's average C02 emissions for passenger cars in 2013 was 182g/km and the industry average was 192g/km across both passenger cars and rac.com.au light vehicles.
