The reasons being; Insufficient value when addressing a cost benefit analysis of standard / traditional CCTV cameras. Minimal return on significant investment. High ongoing maintenance costs. Limited potential for criminal evidence value. Higher City and Police resourcing costs to manage, obtain footage and check/maintain system. Vast majority of movement is vehicular. Preliminary Review: The City agrees with the consultant that the placement of traditional CCTV within Wattle Grove Cell 9 is not a cost effective or viable solution to reduce crime within the area, and therefore recommends that it is not considered.

Of the report's boundary recommendations for metropolitan Perth, Local Government Minister Tony Simpson has accepted all but two, those for the City of Perth/City of Vincent and the proposed City of Riversea, which includes five western suburbs councils. The Minister has rejected the Board’s recommendation for the City of Perth, on the basis that key icons such as The University of Western Australia (UWA) and the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre (QEII), were not included. As a result of the flow-on effects from City of Perth changes, he has also rejected the recommendation for the proposed City of Riversea, which includes five western suburbs councils.

    The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor City of Perth Level 11, Council House 27-29 St Georges Terrace PERTH 6000

    The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor City of Perth Level 11, Council House 27-29 St Georges Terrace PERTH 6000 Via email: [email protected] Dear Lord Mayor, RE: BAN ON MASS BALLOON RELEASES I am writing to you seeking information regarding the Council’s position on legislating to ban the release of helium balloons in public spaces. As you are likely aware, the Town of Cottesloe Council have recently passed a ban to this effect and City of Cockburn Council is soon to follow suit. Cemeteries, schools, parklands and beaches are popular spaces for mass balloon releases to occur. I have received correspondence from many concerned community members regarding the legality of these events. I have put on notice a motion to introduce the Environmental Protection Amendment (Banning Plastic Bags and Other Things) Bill 2017 into the Legislative Council of Western Australia. This would include a ban on balloon events such as these. It is my understanding that the Litter Act 1979, defines items as litter when they are deposited on land or waters. Therefore, under this law, the action of releasing balloons is not an offence. However, when the balloons land, littering subsequently occurs. Under the Litter Act 1979, this is a very difficult offence to substantiate and there is currently no other legislation in Western Australia, besides the Town of Cottesloe’s proposed ban, that addresses these acts of illegal dumping. The environmental impacts of released balloons are widespread and can be catastrophic. Not only is helium a finite resource, but a single balloon, even one made from natural latex to the highest industry standards, will take at least 5 years to break down.
