  • PERTH Arena Joondalup Kennedya Drive, Joondalup GROUND TRANSPORT to Get to Site to Get to Site from Perth City, Travel North On
    PERTH Arena Joondalup Kennedya Drive, Joondalup GROUND TRANSPORT To get to site To get to site from Perth city, travel north on the Mitchell Freeway and exit at Hodges Drive. (If you’re using a sat-nav, or googlemap directions – it will probably tell you to exit at Shenton Avenue. Ignore it, there will be road closures on Shenton) At the Hodges Drive exit, turn right. This road becomes Grand Boulevard at the first Joondalup Drive intersection. Continue on Grand Blvd until you reach Joondalup Drive a second time! Stop. Arena Joondalup, Main Stage To get onto site You will enter site from behind main stage. The road closures mean that you will have to navigate through patron foot traffic – hello hazard lights and slow speeds – 40km please! On the map below the red enclosed area indicates the road closure, the yellow indicates your journey. From Grand Boulevard, turn left to pass through the Road Closure (show your vehicle pass) and travel down Joondalup Drive. At Kennedya Drive, make a U-Turn and travel back up Joondalup Drive. Turn left into site at GATE N. Under no circumstances are you to cross over the median strip at Grand Blvd & Joondalup Dr. While this is a seemingly absurd route, this really is the only acceptable way into the site. Grand Boulevard Joondalup Drive Kennedya Drive Parking Once you’ve entered site, veer left and park in a single row against the fencing. .

The Planning Team prepared the plan for the Conservation Commission of Western Australia. Brendan Dooley (Plan Coordinator) Department of Conservation and Land Management Tim Bowra Department of Conservation and Land Management Dennis Cluning City of Joondalup Phil Thompson City of Wanneroo PREFACE Regional parks are areas of regional open space that are identified by planning procedures as having outstanding conservation, landscape and recreation values. Regional parks provide the opportunity for a consortium of management agencies and private landowners to develop co-ordinated planning and management strategies. Regional parks were first proposed in the Stephenson - Hepburn Report of 1955, which later formed the basis of the Perth Metropolitan Region Scheme in 1963. Since then, State planning agencies have been acquiring suitable private land in anticipation of the time when regional parks would be formally created. In 1997, the State government announced a commitment to introduce legislation to give regional parks legal standing and vesting in the former NPNCA, now the Conservation Commission of Western Australia. Eight regional parks were recognised as formal identities, with the co-ordination of their management progressively transferred to the Department of Conservation and Land Management.

  • Women in Parliament
    MAKING A DIFFERENCE—A FRONTIER OF FIRSTS WOMEN IN THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT 1921–2012 David Black and Harry Phillips Parliamentary History Project Parliament of Western Australia 2012 EDITH DIRCKSEY COWAN MLA West Perth 12 March 1921–22 March 1924 (Nat). Contested West Perth 1924, 1927 (for WEL). First woman elected to an Australian Parliament. In March 1921 Edith Cowan had the distinction of being the first woman to be elected to an Australian Parliament and only the second woman in the British Empire to sit in Parliament. Her surprise victory at the age of 59, by only 46 votes after the distribution of preferences, in the seat of West Perth was accomplished after an outstanding record as a pioneer of women’s involvement in public life. Edith Cowan regarded the right of women to vote as a ‘natural right’, and a self-evident extension to this was the right to sit in Parliament. During her one term in the Legislative Assembly she was responsible for achieving the rare passage of two important private member’s Bills: one measure specified that a person should not be disqualified ‘by sex or marriage’ from exercising any public function, from practising law or from entering any other profession; while the other gave equal inheritance rights to mothers when a child died intestate and without issue. A scholarly biography of Edith Cowan (1861–1932) by her grandson Peter Cowan, entitled A Unique Position,1 was published in 1978. The work depicted that she had a troubled childhood after being born at Glengarry near Geraldton on 2 August 1861.
