Legislative Council Legislative Council Tuesday, 18 September 2007 THE PRESIDENT (Hon Nick Griffiths) took the chair at 3.30 pm, and read prayers. ROYAL PERTH HOSPITAL - CLOSURE AND NAME PRESERVATION Petition HON HELEN MORTON (East Metropolitan) [3.33 pm]: I present the following petition - To the President and Members of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We the undersigned residents of Western Australia call upon the Legislative Council to oppose the closure of Royal Perth Hospital and to ensure that the name ‘Royal Perth Hospital’ is maintained. And your petitioners in duty bound, will ever pray. The petition bears 2 703 signatures, and I certify that it conforms to the standing orders of the Legislative Council. [See paper 3129.] WEST COAST DEMERSAL SCALEFISH - MANAGEMENT PLAN Statement by Minister for Fisheries HON JON FORD (Mining and Pastoral - Minister for Fisheries) [3.34 pm]: The sustainability of key demersal scalefish species along the west coast, particularly jewfish, pink snapper and baldchin groper, has been a growing concern for the Western Australian government and various stakeholder groups. This concern is based on evidence of escalating fishing effort, particularly by the burgeoning recreational fishing sector. The number of registered recreational boats has grown rapidly as the state’s population continues to climb. Recreational fishers have also become more effective as they have quickly adopted new technology. In particular, global positioning systems and high quality sounders have now become standard items on fishing boats. This has made recreational fishing far more precise and targeted. More people fishing and more effective fishing methods have increased the pressure on fish stocks. To better understand the impact this increased pressure is having on fish stocks, the Department of Fisheries undertook a number of dedicated research programs to assess the status of jewfish, pink snapper and baldchin groper. These popular and well-recognised species of fish were chosen for the assessment because they are good indicators of the health of demersal scalefish stocks more generally. This research is now available and it shows that Western Australians are already over-fishing jewfish and pink snapper throughout their natural distribution and over-fishing baldchin groper within the Abrolhos Islands. If the current situation is not addressed, it is likely that continued fishing pressure will see these stocks of fish collapse within four to five years. It is important to acknowledge that both the commercial and recreational sectors are capable of exerting considerable impacts on these stocks, and more effective management of both sectors is required to reduce catches. I have already taken steps to address the commercial catch of demersal scalefish. A new management plan, which will soon be implemented, will reduce the number of commercial fishers operating under a new and strict management system. This new plan will ensure the commercial sector fish in a sustainable way and are able to provide high quality seafood to restaurants and local retailers. Recognising the seriousness of the problem and the particular significance of increasing fishing pressure in the metropolitan region, I have now made the unprecedented decision to remove all commercial fishing for demersal scalefish in the waters off the greater metropolitan coastline, thus creating the state’s largest exclusive area dedicated to recreational line fishing. Specifically, there will be no commercial fishing for demersal scalefish from Lancelin to a point south of Mandurah, 31 degrees south to 33 degrees south, to be effective from November this year. This action will provide immediate relief to fish stocks but further action is necessary, and the burden of responsibility cannot and should not be carried alone by commercial fishers. Each of us has a responsibility to fish for the future and ensure that fishing - commercial and recreational - is sustainable in the long term. Recreational fishers in Western Australia are to be commended for the way they have supported the existing management system based on bag and size limits. However, it is clear that the problems we now face require new and innovative solutions. The strategy that is ultimately adopted to manage recreational fishing must aim to ensure sustainability. However, it is important to not take the fun out of fishing by its becoming too regulated. It is also important that the community support the system we choose because voluntary compliance with the necessary rules will help us achieve our goals more quickly. 5022 [COUNCIL - Tuesday, 18 September 2007] To support the new strategy, the WA government has allocated more than $5.3 million research funding over four years to undertake detailed monitoring of demersal fish catches by recreational and commercial fishers. This research will evaluate the effectiveness of management practices to rebuild these fish stocks. The process of determining a new recreational fishing strategy will involve the release of a discussion paper and research report into the current status of west coast demersal scalefish stocks. The purpose of the fisheries management paper 225 is to engage recreational fishers and the wider community to develop new strategies that can achieve this vision of sustainable and enjoyable recreational fishing. This paper examines more fully the nature of the problems facing us and presents some of the new measures we should consider. The community’s views on the way forward are critical to the process, and stakeholders will be encouraged to become involved in the comprehensive consultation process, which will include a series of public meetings across the west coast region throughout October. Following this initial consultation period, it is my intention to release a draft management package for further consultation early in the new year, with a view to introducing a new, more effective and long-term management strategy for recreational fishing on the west coast mid-2008. However, during the consultation period it is important that we do not allow recreational fishing pressure to continue to escalate. Therefore, I will be implementing an interim management package to cover this period. These new rules may not form part of the longer-term strategy, but in the short term they are crucial in limiting recreational fishing pressures. This interim package will be phased in from November this year and will involve extending the closure to fishing for pink snapper in Cockburn and Warnbro Sounds from 1 October to 31 January; extending the existing possession limit to an individual’s place of residence throughout WA; totally protecting baldchin groper within the Abrolhos Islands; and introducing a possession limit of four category 1 - high risk - fish per person on aquatic charter vessels operating along the WA coast. Western Australia is blessed with an amazing marine environment. However, against a backdrop of unprecedented economic growth, growing population and significant technological advances in fishing practices, our precious fish stocks are under more pressure than ever before. I would like to table fisheries management paper 225, “Managing the Recreational Catch of Demersal Scalefish on the West Coast: Future Management Scenarios for Community Consideration” and report 163, “Spatial scales of exploitation among populations of demersal scale fish: implications for management”. [See papers 3130 and 3131.] Consideration of the statement made an order of the day for the next sitting, on motion by Hon Ken Baston. PAPERS TABLED Papers were tabled and ordered to lie upon the table of the house. STANDING COMMITTEE ON UNIFORM LEGISLATION AND STATUTES REVIEW Twentieth Report - Road Traffic Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2007 Hon Simon O’Brien presented the twentieth report of the Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review Committee, in relation to the Road Traffic Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2007, and on his motion it was resolved - That the report do lie upon the table and be printed.

HON GEORGE CASH (North Metropolitan) [5.42 pm]: Before question time, I was discussing in part some of the inconsistencies and confusion that have emanated from various media statements made by the government about the Fiona Stanley Hospital at Murdoch over a period of years. In the first example, I referred to a statement made by the then Premier, Dr Geoff Gallop, on 30 January 2005 in which he referred to plans to build a 1 000-bed hospital in the suburb of Murdoch adjacent to St John of God Hospital. He indicated that an amount of $420 million had been allocated to that cause and that the hospital was expected to be opened in 2007. Nine months later, on 21 September 2005, a media statement appeared from the Minister for Health, Hon Jim McGinty, MLA, in which the concept of the Fiona Stanley Hospital had been changed from a 1 000-bed hospital that was to open in 2007 to the Gallop government allocating $742 million to build the Fiona Stanley Hospital. He said that the Fiona Stanley Hospital was due to open in 2011 and, more than that, that it was to have 610 beds by 2011 and 1 058 beds by 2015. I cannot possibly understand how a hospital can change from a 1 000-bed hospital due to open in 2007, as announced by Premier Gallop in January 2005, to a 610-bed hospital due to open in 2011 and a 1 058-bed hospital by 2015.

    CITY OF NEDLANDS TIMELINE (Based on secondary sources and compiled by R. Taylor, April 2012, modified since by A. Harris and A.Price) Pre-Colonial Settlement The Noongar people’s relationship with Nedlands and the surrounding area stretches back 40,000 years. The area was used as hunting grounds by Mooro Noongars who were headed by Yellagonga until his death in 1835. Several springs used to be near what are now Archdeacon and Edward Streets. The Aboriginal name for Pelican Point is Bootanup or Booriarup meaning place of the Xanthorrhoea (balga or blackboy tree leaves) was favoured for crabbing and prawning. The southern side of Pelican Point is known as Goordandalup meaning the meeting place of the married or betrothed persons. Pelican Point is also known as Katamburdup meaning ‘high rise near where paperbark and zamia palms grow’. It is also a swamp area recorded near Gallop House called Gooliliup and Beenyup and that Armstrong spit along the southern side of Dalkeith is known as Nanulgurup. Oral history records that Noongar wells tapped a freshwater supply in the vicinity of the present Nedlands/Dalkeith foreshore. 1800s- Early 1900s 1831 Adam Armstrong granted Swan Location 86. Names his farm Dalkeith (after Scottish town near Edinburgh. Establishes successful market garden and orchard. 1847 James Gallop buys Dalkeith farm. Expands market garden and orchard.

MS M.M. QUIRK (Girrawheen) [7.01 pm]: They say that politics is the art of compromise, but this is one occasion when compromise pleases almost no-one. The proposals under this bill do not bear close analysis. The time frame for completion of the restoration is unacceptably long, and the Barnett government’s lack of real commitment to heritage is starkly demonstrated by its lack of financial investment in this project. In this context, it is interesting that this site is not considered an appropriate one for the so-called heritage revolving fund, which was part of the Liberal Party’s 2013 election commitments. That commitment provided, in part — If re-elected the Liberals will: • Allocate $8million over the next four years to establish a Heritage Revolving Fund to activate underutilised or idle State or local government heritage property, through conservation and adaptive re-use. The State Government has an ownership interest in more than 38 per cent of the places listed on the State Register of Heritage Places. Many of these are well used, actively maintained and conserved. However, others sit idle. The fund will be used to bring these buildings back to active community use. Buildings that have the potential to be used for vibrant community engagement purposes will be considered as a priority.
