  • The Perth Freight Link: Facts and Fiction Prepared by Peter Newman and Philip Jennings for the Beeliar Group – Professors for Environmental Responsibility
    For Release 8 Feb 2017 The Perth Freight Link: Facts and Fiction Prepared by Peter Newman and Philip Jennings for The Beeliar Group – Professors for Environmental Responsibility The supporters of Roe 8 and the Perth Freight Link (PFL) have been spreading misinformation and half truths about the developments. Their aim is to discredit alternatives by the selective use of the facts. This analysis of the Roe 8 and PFL myths provides a more complete picture. Myth 1: The PFL has been on the books for 60 years and no one objected until recently. The PFL was a Prime Minister Abbott “Captain’s Call” presented to the former Transport Minister, Dean Nalder, at a meeting in Canberra in early 2015, along with similar highly controversial roads in Melbourne and Sydney. The Melbourne East-West Link was rejected by the Victorian people at their last election. It is extremely unusual to have a road project proposed by a Commonwealth politician and it has disrupted all planning processes since it was dropped on Perth without any history or warning. The PFL is still a vague proposal and the detailed design has never been released publicly or assessed by the EPA. Roe 8 was included in the Metropolitan Region Scheme in 1963 without any public consultation or environmental impact assessment as part of a ring road bringing traffic to the coast between North Coogee and South Beach and then north to Fremantle. The Cockburn Wetlands Study of 1975 first suggested that the road should not proceed. The first environmental assessment was carried out by the EPA in 1978 and it recommended in its System Six report in 1980 that a new route be found because the proposed route was environmentally unacceptable.

    WESTERN AUSTRALIA LAW AND JUSTICE FOUNDATION COLLABORATIVE PLANNING RESOURCE – JURISDICTIONAL DATA 2015 The Law and Justice Foundation of New South Wales (LJF) Collaborative Planning Resource (CPR) is intended to support the planning of legal assistance services by Australian jurisdictions. In 2015 this resource will be delivered in two parts: The LJF Collaborative Planning Resource – Service Planning (CPR-SP) summarises the research evidence on legal need and access to justice and the implications for planning legal service delivery. The geographical location of legal services, while important, is only one key aspect of planning and delivering effective legal assistance services to those most in need. Recognising the variation between different priority groups and the overlap between them, services can be targeted at identified client groups; timely to client’s experience; appropriate to varying legal need and capability; and joined-up as part of a holistic response. i Service design is likely to vary accordingly. For instance, reaching hard to find groups through other (often non-legal) services with which they have regular contact. The CPR-SP also provides useful information for designing appropriate legal services for specific priority demographic groups: ‘who’ priority clients are, ‘what’ types of services are appropriate to their legal needs and capabilities, and ‘how’ these services might be delivered. The LJF Collaborative Planning Resource – Jurisdictional Data (CPR-JD) brings together three sets of information relevant to making decisions about legal assistance provision: • The geographic distribution of the Commonwealth’s priority groups for services • The prevalence of experiencing legal problems for each priority group • The geographic distribution of those most likely to be in need of legal assistance services for financial or other reasons.

  • ECM 9857885 V2 Media Release
    cockburn.wa.gov.au Media Release 15 October 2020 Dogs prohibited at Woodman Point beach from 21 October to protect nesting shorebirds, but more dog-friendly spaces planned Dogs will be prohibited at Woodman Point beach from 21 October, following Cockburn Council’s adoption of the Animal Management and Exercise Plan 2020-2025 (AMEP). Dogs will no longer be allowed at Woodman Point beach from Ammunition Jetty heading south around the Woodman Point headland to where the dog beach begins at Jervoise Bay. The AMEP still enables about 40 per cent of Cockburn’s coast to be accessible to dogs, plus the provision of more off-leash dog exercise areas at large public open spaces, and two new dog parks in the future During preparation of the AMEP, Council requested an independent Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The EIA found that continuing to allow dogs at the beach would adversely impact the area’s nesting shorebirds, including federally protected species that migrate annually from the northern hemisphere. The EIA found making the beach a ‘no dog’ area would provide a safe refuge with conservation benefits for vulnerable Fairy Terns, shorebirds, seabirds and other native species. Extensive public consultation during the Plan’s preparation also found the community overwhelmingly objected to the Woodman Point beach being accessible to dogs, due to concerns for the area’s shorebirds. A proposal for the beach to be accessible to dogs was also rejected by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, Birdlife Australia, the Conservation Council of WA, Native ARC Inc, the Department of Local Government, Sport & Cultural Industries, and the Woodman Point Regional Park Community Advisory Committee.

  • A Case Study of Public Participation in the Management of a Contaminated Site in Western Australia
    Faculty of Humanities Curtin University Sustainable Policy Unit Citizens contesting science: a case study of public participation in the management of a contaminated site in Western Australia Kelly Elizabeth Duckworth A thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University February 2016 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material that has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: Date: February 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis addresses the problem of involving citizens in regulatory debates rich in the discourse of science. Through a detailed case study of the ANI-Bradken site redevelopment project, the public participatory practices within Western Australian environmental regulatory processes are scrutinised. From the perspective of a community group (the South Fremantle/Hamilton Hill Residents’ Association Inc.) contesting the redevelopment, the thesis examines the barriers to effective public participation using a theoretical framework developed within the sociology of scientific knowledge. The case study of the thesis documents the community group’s attempts to debate critical safety issues associated with a contaminated site redevelopment project near Fremantle, Western Australia (WA). The study draws attention to the influential role of scientific knowledge in environmental management and, specifically, in the management of contaminated sites. It also clarifies how, and why, regulatory authorities utilise scientific knowledge to influence the public participatory processes. The thesis argues that the regulatory application of scientific knowledge influences public participatory processes through two mechanisms.
