  • GSDC Bulletin 38
    ISSUE 38 Simon Baker film to boost Denmark TV star’s feature film of Tim Winton novel Funding secured through the GSDC helped to clinch a decision to produce a feature film of Tim Winton’s award-winning novel Breath in the Great Southern. Australian actor and star of The Mentalist Simon Baker visited Denmark on Friday 10 July for the announcement of the project. The production of Breath is supported by $1.5 million in State Government Royalties for Regions funding administered through the GSDC and $800,000 through ScreenWest. Mr Baker will star in and direct the film, and said he was familiar with the book. A location-scouting tour of the South West included a visit to Denmark, and Mr Baker said he and Australian producer Jamie Hilton immediately felt it was the right place to make the film. Culture and Arts Minister John Day (left), actor and director Simon Baker (centre) and Regional Development Minister Terry Redman celebrate “It was just the feel of the place and the the announcement of the Great Southern sense of community environment that rung production of the feature film Breath. out and felt special,” Mr Baker said. “We knew right there.

The Association is an independent, membership-based group representing and supporting the work and interests of 138 Local Governments in Western Australia. The Association provides an essential voice for over 1,200 elected members and approximately 15,000 Local Government employees as well as over 2.5 million constituents of Local Governments in Western Australia. The Association also provides professional advice and offers services that provide financial benefits to the Local Governments and the communities they serve. For Local Governments in remote parts of Western Australia, efficient, cost effective air services that ensure accessibility for residents, visitors, workers and service providers underpin the economic and social sustainability of the region. For this reason, Local Governments and the Local Government Association value this Inquiry and the opportunity to provide a submission. As part of a range of considerations in relation to tourism, in March 2017 the WALGA State Council endorsed a policy to advocate that the State Government undertake measures to reduce the cost and improve the scheduling and routes of regional air services.

  • 5 Private Swimming Pools in Western Australia
    Investigation into ways to prevent or reduce deaths of children by drowning 5 Private swimming pools in Western Australia Where location was known, private swimming pools were the most common location of fatal and non-fatal drowning incidents during the six-year investigation period.146 As discussed in Chapter 4, the Office found that, for 16 (47 per cent) of the 34 children who died by drowning, the fatal drowning incident occurred in a private swimming pool. Similarly, for 170 (66 per cent) of the 258 children who were admitted to a hospital following a non-fatal drowning incident, the incident occurred in a swimming pool. Accordingly, the Ombudsman determined to examine private swimming pools in Western Australia in more detail. 5.1 Number of private swimming pools The Office was unable to identify any source with recent information about the total number and location of private swimming pools in Western Australia, therefore, as part of the Investigation, the Office collected and analysed this information. The Office surveyed local governments regarding the number of private swimming pools in their local government district as at 30 June 2015 (the local government survey). Of the 140 local governments that were surveyed,147 138 (99 per cent) local governments responded to the survey (the 138 survey respondents) and two (one per cent) local governments did not respond to the survey. The two local governments that did not respond were small local governments located outside the metropolitan regions of Western Australia. Section 130 of the Building Act 2011 requires local governments to keep building records associated with private swimming pools (such as applications for building permits and inspections) located in their local government district to enable monitoring of compliance with Part 8, Division 2 of the Building Regulations 2012.
