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.

Introduction THE INVENTORY The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (the MRA) is responsible for the urban renewal of the Central Perth Redevelopment Area (the Redevelopment Area) and proposes to recognise and afford protective measures to those places that have cultural heritage significance. The Central Perth Redevelopment Scheme (the Scheme) empowers the MRA to compile and maintain a list of Heritage Places and Precincts, called a Heritage Inventory (HI). The Central Perth HI has been developed in accordance with the provisions of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990, which requires all Local Governments to compile an inventory of heritage places as the foundation of sound local heritage planning. As MRA assumes responsibility as the planning authority within the Redevelopment Area, the MRA is acknowledging its role and responsibilities in “recognising, promoting and protecting” the cultural heritage that falls under its jurisdiction, as articulated in the State Cultural Heritage Policy.

  • Legislative Assembly
    Legislative Assembly Thursday, 24 February 2011 THE SPEAKER (Mr G.A. Woodhams) took the chair at 9.00 am, and read prayers. ANIMAL WELFARE UNIT INSPECTORATE Petition MS L.L. BAKER (Maylands) [9.01 am]: I have a petition that has been certified as conforming to the standing orders of the house and contains 470 signatures. It reads — To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly in the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We, the undersigned, say that the welfare of livestock animals in Western Australia is not being properly protected, and the Animal Welfare Act 2002 is not being enforced, because the State Government has refused to adequately fund the Animal Welfare Unit Inspectorate to employ six permanent, full-time General Inspectors. Only a fully funded Animal Welfare Unit Inspectorate — which regularly monitors the welfare of livestock animals involved in live export, transportation, saleyards, knackeries or abattoirs — is capable of ensuring that the millions of livestock animals who are transported, exported, sold or slaughtered every year in this State are more likely to be treated humanely, without neglect or cruelty. Now we ask the Legislative Assembly to fully fund the employment of six permanent full-time General Inspectors in the Department of Local Government’s Animal Welfare Unit Inspectorate to ensure that the welfare of livestock animals involved in live export, transportation and the abattoirs is regularly and routinely monitored and reports of cruelty or neglect are investigated promptly. [See petition 368.] A similar petition was presented by Mr J.C. Kobelke (43 signatures).
