The RAC represents all road users on the WA Road Safety Council and has strong alliances with local government, Main Roads WA (MRWA) and community road safety organisations. Having a safe road environment is important for all road users because the right infrastructure can be the difference between a fatal crash and a minor collision. Last year on average one person died on WA roads nearly every two days. The RAC’s Risky Roads campaign is WA’s biggest public infrastructure survey and is undertaken to provide a snapshot of community perceptions, insight for road authorities and assist in identifying trends in traffic flow, infrastructure and safety. The 2014 campaign ran during April and May, providing Western Australians’ the opportunity to express their views and nominate sub-standard roads and intersections throughout the state.

    Northam WWTP: Environmental Impact Assessment ● 43 4. ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEY RESULTS 4.1 SITE DESCRIPTIONS AND HABITAT ASSESSMENT Table 4-1 Summarised habitat descriptions for each site Site (representative image) Description Burlong Pool (control site upstream of WWTP) Burlong Pool is an analogue site located 9.5 km upstream of the WWTP discharge and is of similar size and condition to the potential impact site, Katrine Pool. It is one of the 16 priority rehabilitation pools identified by the DoW (2007). Situated between farmland with highly disturbed riparian vegetation consisting of fragments of native vegetation on right bank and predominantly exotic grasses, and good coverage on the left bank. Local grazing. Highly eroded banks in places as a result of vegetation clearing. Limited shading of the channel. Submerged and emergent macrophytes present (~30% of channel). Small amount of woody debris present. Deep channel in parts and heavily vegetated with macrophytes, although noticeably less after February 2017 floods. A small culvert at the road crossing/bridge allows pool formation as the river dries. Report to the Water CoRporation of Western Australia www.hydrobiology.biz Northam WWTP: Environmental Impact Assessment ● 44 Site (representative image) Description Mortlock (Mortlock River upstream WWTP) A control site situated at the edge of Northam township on the Mortlock River, just upstream from the confluence with the Avon River, and assessed for water quality only. The Mortlock River is known to be a significant contributor to nutrient and salt concentrations in the lower Avon River. The site is situated between grazing land and a public recreation/parking area (Enright Park Corroborree Site), with a small cement weir/river walkway presenting a physical barrier to fish passage in some flows.

    Parks of the Perth Hills Avon Valley The place to… Be… National Park See… Flora and Fauna Guide Do… Landscape The sides of the Avon Valley slope steeply down to the plateau, which is about 200m above the river level. The area is undulating, with soil types including lateritic sands, loams and gravels, and is partly within the Red Swamp Brook and Brockman River catchments. The river valley forms the division between the drier northern forest, dominated by wandoo, and the southern forest, dominated by jarrah Plants The park contains wandoo woodlands and jarrah more typical of the drier northern and eastern Darling plateau. Fuschia grevillea (Grevillea bipinnatifida), roadside tea-trees, coneflowers, balgas and zamias are common elements of the understorey, which is generally sparse. The park also contains the Fringed Lily (Thysanotus anceps), a rare species found only in a few localities in the Darling Range north-east of Perth. Along the river are large flooded gums. Granite outcrops add to the diversity of the park. A variety of low shrubs and small lichens and mosses cling to the rocks. WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT WA’S PLANTS AND ANIMALS? The Department of Environment and Conservation have a series of pocket sized field guides available called “Bush Books’. They are available at most DEC offices and good bookshops.

  • NORTH FREMANTLE RAILWAY BRIDGE COLLAPSE 1926 an Accident Waiting to Happen?
    NORTH FREMANTLE RAILWAY BRIDGE COLLAPSE 1926 An accident waiting to happen? Heather Campbell In July 1926 very heavy rains in the South West of Western Australia caused ‘extensive washaways’ in the railway system1 and were thought to be responsible for the collapse of the Fremantle Railway Bridge on 22 July of that year. This was the second railway bridge across the Swan River and had been opened in November 1895. The first bridge, completed in August 1880, was for construction traffic for the Fremantle – Perth – Guildford railway line. This second bridge, was more substantial than the first and capable of taking heavier locomotives.2 The condition of the bridge caused comment almost from its opening. In December 1897 concern was expressed about its stability due to dredging of the harbour, the strength of the tide and the potential for cargo boats and steamers to collide with it3. Again, in October 1903, ‘some alarm’ was expressed but the foundations were found to be safe and secure4. None the less, in August 1905 questions were again being asked about the ‘dangerous nature of the substructure’ of the bridge.5 Fremantle Railway Bridge and houses on Riverside Road, Fremantle, 1907 (SLWA 009669PD) Location of the 2nd railway bridge, c 1890s? (SLWA MAPR0000346) Its condition remained a concern and in 1911: ‘… a couple of engine-drivers got a sudden shock the other day when crossing it. They swore that they distinctly felt the bridge rocking beneath the train, and heard ominous noises. The matter was reported at once, and the station masters from Fremantle and North Fremantle procured an engine and investigated things.
