  • Swan River Belonging: Social and Emotional Interactions with an Urban River in the South West of Western Australia
    Swan River Belonging: social and emotional interactions with an urban river in the South West of Western Australia Marie Seeman Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Anthropology, University of Queensland This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Western Australia. School of Social and Cultural Studies Discipline of Anthropology and Sociology 2008 Marie Seeman 1 ABSTRACT In this thesis I explore concepts of belonging in relation to the Swan River of Perth, Western Australia. The primary focus of my research was on the various ways in which people expressed their social and emotional connections to a waterway often referred to as the 'soul of the city'. The people consulted derived from two main groups: a local inner city catchment group and a collection of artists. Drawing on literature such as Kay Milton's theories of emotion, culture and the environment to explain my ethnographic data, I show how and why people's interactions with the Swan River are motivated and enacted. This thesis demonstrates that human relationships with rivers such as the Swan are complicated by themes that include nostalgia, memory, aesthetics, space, proximity, ecological concerns and development issues. By drawing on a range of methods (participant observation, interviewing) and travel modes (walking, cycling), I found that current day practices were affected by historical decision making for both indigenous and non-indigenous groups. My research conveys the value of doing socio-cultural research on rivers in urban and in other contexts,

  • Central Reserves Strategic Management Plan 2017-2022
    City of Melville Central Reserves Strategic Management Plan 2017-2022 July 2017 Executive Summary The Central Reserves are located in the suburb of Ardross, Booragoon, Mount Pleasant and Willagee in the centre of the City of Melville. The seven reserves (Carawatha Bushland; Al Richardson and Reg Seal Reserves; Connelly, Hatfield, Harry Stickland and Len Shearer Parks) include 6.44 hectares of bushland that has been has been moderately isolated from other terrestrial bushland remnants for approximately 40 years. These reserves were rated low in terms of their overall value in the NAAMP. Of the four ratings, all parks/reserves were rated in the second lowest tier, except Harry Stickland Park which was rated in the second highest tier, and Carawatha Bushland which was not managed as a bushland reserve in 2013 and therefore not rated. Of the 15 assets targeted for monitoring and management, the 4 assets of regional, state and/or national significance were: 1 ecological community Bassendean Vegetation Complex – Central and South 3 bird species Calyptorhynchus banksii, Forest Red-Tailed Black-Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus latirostris, Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo Smicrornis brevirostris, Weebill The vegetation is regionally significant, with less than 30% of the Bassendean Central and South vegetation complex remaining uncleared. The 125 native plant species recorded onsite represent approximately 30% of the species recorded in the City of Melville: of the plants of regional, state or national significance: 1 shrub (Jacksonia sericea), which would be of regional significance if naturally occurring rather than planted in the Central Reserves; another five tree / shrub species are at very high risk of local extinction: Banksia grandis (4 plants) Banksia ilicifolia (1 plant) Eremaea pauciflora (2 plants) Hakea prostrata (1 plant) Persoonia saccata (5 plants) The 26 native animal species (2 bat, 5 reptile and 19 bird species) recorded onsite represent 10% of species recorded in the City of Melville, but the inventory for the Central Reserves is not comprehensive.
