I consider that all agencies have done an excellent job in implementing the Strategy and would like to take this opportunity to congratulate them. Implementing the Strategy is only one in a long list of achievements that the Trust has undertaken since its inception in 1989. The release of the review is timely given the onset of summer and the focus that is accorded the river during the prime recreational season.

  • Lathlain Memories
    - Page 1 of 26 - LATHLAIN MEMORIES By Ray Webster Gateway to Victoria Park Photo Ray Webster My wife Jean and I met in 1954 at the Vic Park Town Hall on a Monday night where they conducted regular dance nights. There were a large number of young people who came along to these functions and enjoyed themselves. We moved into 35 Cornwall Street Lathlain in November 1956 after coming back from our honeymoon and resided there until November 1999, we then moved to the Harold Hawthorne Retirement Village in Memorial Avenue Carlisle where we currently reside. - Page 2 of 26 - During the time that we have lived in the Lathlain Carlisle area we have seen many changes in the housing density, life styles, road systems, transport and businesses. Our local shops on the corner of Francisco Street and Orrong Road consisted of a delicatessen, which then became a grocery store operated by Mr Jones, the Weir family butcher, chemist Mrs Millen and the fish and chip whose name I cannot remember. Remember when the butcher’s shops had a large block of wood to cut up the meat and sawdust on the floor. Some butchers were showmen by sliding across the floor on the sawdust. Bones for the dog were given away to customers who asked for them. Sometimes if we thought that Mr. Jones would not have some of the items we needed, we would go to “Charlie Carters” supermarket on the corner of Alday Street and Albany Highway in East Victoria Park where Super Cheap Auto parts are now located.

    Health Warning - Swan and Canning Rivers Alexandrium algal bloom and Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning – 6/3/20 An Alexandrium algal bloom is currently impacting the Swan and Canning Rivers. This alga can produce a neuro-toxin that is then concentrated by filter-feeding shellfish. This toxin accumulates in the internal organs and potentially in the muscle tissue of shellfish, crabs and some fish species. Consumption of shellfish, crabs and potentially fish containing high levels of this toxin can result in paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). Cooking does not destroy these toxins. Shellfish includes oysters, mussels, clams, pipis, scallops, cockles and razor clams. What is the current health warning and the affected area? The current health warning is to not eat fish, crabs or shellfish collected from the following areas within the Swan and Canning Rivers: Swan River – from Pelican Point, Crawley to the South of Perth Yacht Club, Applecross and upstream to Middle Swan (Reid Highway) Bridge, Middle Swan. This includes the commonly known areas of Como Jetty, Matilda Bay, Perth Water, Elizabeth Quay, Barrack Street Jetty, Claisebrook Cove, Maylands Yacht Club, Ascot Waters, Hind Reserve, Riverside Gardens, Garvey Park, Sandy Beach Reserve, Point Reserve, Kings Meadow, Fish Market Reserve and Woodbridge Riverside Park. Canning River – from the South of Perth Yacht Club and upstream to Kent Street Weir This includes commonly known areas of Canning Bridge, Mt Henry Bridge, Salter Point, Shelley Bridge, Riverton Bridge, and Castledare. For the full current health warning refer to the Department of Health website: health.wa.gov.au. Symptoms and effects of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) Symptoms of PSP can begin within minutes or up to 24 hours after consumption and include: • tingling and numbness around the mouth which can spread to the face, neck, arms and legs.

In the absence of a detailed management program this document remains the hlue-print for managing the Swan and Canning rivers. The Strategy highlighted seven major issues facing the river system as a whole and outlined 259 recommendations to address them. As part of the Swan River Trust's normal auditing program, these recommendations were reviewed in 1994, to establish their status. In 1998 a second audit was completed to assess further progress towards implementing the 259 recommendations contained in the original strategy. This document summarises action taken since 1994 to implement each of the recommendations. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Trust would like to thank all local government authorities for their continuing effort towards the protection of the river and the surrounding environment and in particular for the time in putting together the following information as part of the audit of Swan River Management Strategy. The Trust also appreciates the assistance of other state government departments and associations for their part in compiling this report.
