SHIRE PRESIDENT’S REPORT February 2018
REX – Regional Express Airline The WA Government announced on 28 February that Regional Express (REX) will operate the Perth – Shark Bay – Carnarvon air transport route for the next five years, starting from 2 July, 2018 with flights on sale from 1 March. Bookings can be made over the internet at rex.com.au or by phone on 131713.
REX operates a fleet of more than 50 Saab 340 aircraft within all states of Australia and also has the Perth – Albany – Esperance route in WA. REX will provide six flights per week (a 50% increase on those provided currently) to Shark Bay and 12 flights to Carnarvon. A Community Fare of $157 will be available on 25% of the seats each flight (check the conditions that apply) and also on seats unsold within one day of departure.
Waste and Recycling Project The refuse and recycling project is now underway, with the ‘tip shop’ (for purchase of recycled items) being erected at the refuse site. A recycling collection station will be in place at the Shire Depot around mid-March. These recycling services will contribute to a reduction in landfill and complement the War on Waste community initiative.
Little Lagoon – Nicholson Point A community survey was conducted recently regarding proposed track closures along a specific portion of the Little Lagoon channel. Although there was a limited number of respondents, those choosing the ‘do nothing’ option were in the majority. Council has therefore resolved to formulate a plan to progress the future rehabilitation of the Nicholson Point and Little Lagoon mouth area which will involve pedestrian walk trails, create or upgrade carparks and install interpretative signage.
Health Services Two representatives from Rural Health West were recently invited by the Shire to Shark Bay in order to discuss options for increased medical services to the area. This involved meetings with relevant parties, including; councillors, Silver Chain nurses and the pharmacist. A report from Rural Health West is expected shortly and in the meantime alternative options to fund and attract a medical practitioner (particularly during the busy season) are also being explored.
HMAS Sydney II and Kormoran Project – Fire on the Water This project forms part of the Sydney-Kormoran maritime trail between Geraldton-Shark Bay and Carnarvon. Amazing 3D imagery from the 2015 expedition to the wreck sites will be used in a short film about the battle itself which will also incorporate new visual evidence to reconstruct the event.
The 3D film will be exhibited in the Discovery Centre and will open in Denham on ANZAC Day. A theatrette with seating and audio-visual equipment is currently being constructed in the Centre and will seat up to 11 people at a time, with 3D glasses available. The exhibition will ultimately be available for community and general public viewing three times an hour.

MEDIA RELEASE
REX SELECTED TO OPERATE PERTH CARNARVON / MONKEY MIA ROUTE
The Western Australian (WA) Government has announced Regional Express (Rex) as the successful tenderer to operate the Regular Public Transport (RPT) air services on the Perth – Carnarvon / Monkey Mia route. This confers on Rex the sole right to operate on the route for a five-year term commencing on 2 July 2018.
Rex will operate 24 weekly services between Perth and Carnarvon and 12 weekly services between Perth and Monkey Mia. This is a 20 per cent increase in flight frequency for Carnarvon and a 50% increase in flight frequency for Monkey Mia in comparison to the current flight frequency offered by the incumbent.
The extra flight frequency between Perth and Carnarvon will deliver a consistent Monday to Friday flight schedule with a.m. and p.m. return services, to the convenience of regular travellers. The 12 weekly services between Perth and Monkey Mia will operate daily from Sunday to Friday inclusive. The flight schedule is attached.
Rex’s General Manager Network Strategy & Sales Mr Warrick Lodge said, “Rex is pleased to be expanding its services in WA. The award of the Perth – Carnarvon / Monkey Mia route to Rex follows the award of the Albany and Esperance routes two years ago, demonstrating that Rex has fully lived up to expectations in its first foray into WA. Indeed in the recent WA inquiry, the public response to Rex’s services and approach on the Albany and Esperance routes was predominantly positive”.
“In the last two years Rex has forged strong partnership agreements with the City of Albany, the Shire of Esperance and Perth Airport. Through this collaboration, Rex has implemented a very successful Community Fare scheme which saw over 24,000 Community Fares sold out of 106,000 total seats sold in the past 12 months, bringing around two million dollars of savings to regional air travellers annually”.
“Rex intends to replicate this same successful scheme to Monkey Mia and Carnarvon. Rex and RAC (Monkey Mia / Shark Bay airport) have agreed to enter into a five-year agreement which will result in the Community Fare Scheme being made available between Perth and Monkey Mia. The Community Fare will be priced at $157 and will be available on 25% of the inventory if booked 60 days prior to departure, with all remaining unsold seats being made available within 1 day prior to departure” said Mr Lodge.
Rex is currently in discussions with the Shire of Carnarvon to establish a partnership along similar lines.
Flights will be on sale from 1 March 2018. Book at rex.com.au, on 13 17 13 or via your local travel agent.
Regional Express (Rex) is Australia’s largestSchedules independent effective 2 regionalJuly 2018 airline operating a fleet of more than 50 Saab 340 aircraft on some 1,500 weekly flights to 60 destinations throughout all states in Australia.
