Media Release 6 November 2018 Subiaco residents to recycle more e-waste Subiaco residents are encouraged to put e-waste in the right place and recycle it as part of the City of Subiaco and Western Metropolitan Regional Council’s free e-waste drop-off day. WMRC’s Chief Executive Officer, Stefan Frodsham said unwanted or broken computers, printers and TVs can be dropped off from 10am to 4pm at the City of Subiaco’s Waste Depot on Saturday 17th November. “The e-waste drop off day will ensure valuable resources are being reused or recycled, and not sent to landfill,” Mr Frodsham said. “Items such as televisions and computers contain valuable resources and almost 95% of e-waste materials are recyclable and some elements like gold and platinum will be reused.” Subiaco Mayor Penny Taylor said the free drop off day is an important reminder about how to correctly dispose of these items. “The City of Subiaco is pleased to host Western Metropolitan Regional Council’s first community e- waste drop off day,” Mayor Taylor said. “I encourage Subiaco residents and those who live in our neighbouring local governments to get their old electronics ready for drop off day.” “By working in partnership with other councils we can get the most out of these initiatives and divert more e-waste from landfill,” she said. Mr Frodsham also encouraged Subiaco residents to make use of the West Metro Recycling Centre (formerly Brockway Transfer Station) accepting domestic quantities of items such as e-waste, batteries, tyres and household hazardous waste such as paints and chemicals for free. “Residents are encouraged to bring these items to the Centre, located on the corner of Brockway Road and Lemnos Street, Shenton Park all year round or call our Recycling Hotline on 9384 6711 to find out how other items can be recycled or safely disposed of,” Mr Frodsham said. The free e-waste drop off day is part of National Recycling Week (12th – 18th November) which takes place across Australia. Residents wanting more information about the e-waste drop off day can contact the City of Subiaco on 9237 9222. The Western Metropolitan Regional Council operates the West Metro Recycling Centre and is supported by City of Subiaco, Town of Claremont, Town of Mosman Park, Town of Cottesloe and Shire of Peppermint Grove.

Raising the Bar Discussion Paper
Executive Summary This discussion paper is presented by the City of Vincent to stimulate discussion and feedback within local government on a range of measures designed to improve transparency and accountability within the Western Australian sector. At the heart of this paper is the critical contention that making information freely and easily accessible to residents, ratepayers and customers gives them greater power to contribute to decision making and to hold local government accountable for the good governance of its district. It is a core foundation of the democratic process. Currently, there is a lack of consistency in the quality and completeness of public reporting across local government, and ratepayers can experience difficulty in obtaining basic information without committing significant time and resources. This paper recommends a number of reforms to legislation, policy and practice affecting local government, many of which would greatly enhance public reporting and accountability. One such reform is the recommendation that the Auditor General be given oversight of Local Government financial reporting and audits. In doing so, ratepayers across Western Australia can be provided with a clear snapshot of the financial health of their local government councils – a process currently undertaken in other States. This has twice been recommended by the Public Accounts Committee over a ten year period, and yet to date no legislation has been introduced to deliver this improvement. The State Government has now indicated that a framework is being prepared, which the City of Vincent welcomes. The local government sector does not need to wait for legislative reform. A number of measures recommended in this discussion paper can be implemented by local governments immediately.

Western Australia: a Small Area Perspective
......................................................................F E A T U R E A R T I C L E – Western Australia: A Small Area Perspective INTRODUCTION Western Australia occupies the western third of the Australian continent, comprising a land area of about 2,529,880 square kilometres. The administration of the urban and regional areas of this large and diverse State is divided amongst 142 local government authorities; nine development commissions; and a number of State and Commonwealth government departments and organisations. The demand for information relating to small geographic areas (such as Local Government Areas — LGAs) and broader regions (such as development commission regions) continues to increase. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is committed to identifying and disseminating social, economic and environmental data for small areas to assist governments and communities seeking to enhance local and regional well–being in an environmentally sustainable way. The results of this on–going data gathering from ABS and non–ABS information sources are compiled and available in the ABS' Western Australian Regional Profiles, more details of which are provided on page 26, and through the Integrated Regional Data Base, details of which are available on the ABS website at www.abs.gov.au (select Products & Services/Key Products). This article presents selected social and economic data for LGAs from the 2002 Regional Profiles to provide a mosaic of social and economic life in urban and regional Western Australia. A significant proportion of the social data has been drawn from the 2001 Census of Population and Housing. The Census is the most comprehensive source of information about the characteristics of people in Australia and the dwellings in which they live.
