Spotlight on Mid West Aquaculture at inaugural - Aquaculture Western Australia State Forum

The inaugural Aquaculture Western Australia State Forum to be held in Perth on Thursday, 26 May 2016 has had an overwhelming response with the Mid West Aquaculture Industry being featured.

The Forum is a collaboration between eight Regional Development Commissions, each of which identified aquaculture as a transformational economic growth opportunity in their respective Regional Investment Blueprints released over the last 12 months.

This follows the State Government’s landmark Statement of Commitment released in August 2015 to develop aquaculture in Western Australia.

Hosted with support from the Aquaculture Council of Western Australia and the Department of Fisheries, Forum attendees will learn from the experiences of existing commercial operators and investigate opportunities for the industry’s development in Western Australia. The event will conclude with a workshop that will inform an industry development strategy and identify priority areas for investment.

The Mid West and Pilbara Development Commissions are working on behalf of the Forum partners to manage the inaugural industry event.

Chairman of the Mid West Development Commission Murray Criddlesaid a state-wide strategic approach to aquaculture development was a smart move in a competitive market.

“The Forum is a great example of the Regional Development Portfolio working in partnership with industryto maximise economic outcomes for regional WA,” Mr Criddle said.

“To be competitive in the global market and provide the best return on investment we need to work together to make strategic investment decisions.”

Chief Executive Officer of the Pilbara Development Commission Terry Hill said aquaculture offered an important economic diversification opportunity that would bring new skills, jobs and investment to the regions.

“With its pristine environment, disease-free status and research expertise, Western Australia is well-placed to develop a sector that can supply a major share of high-value seafood and other products to world markets,” Mr Hill said.”

The State Aquaculture Forum is presented by Western Australia’s Regional Development Commissions, in partnership with the Aquaculture Council of Western Australia and the Department of Fisheries.

New partnership for Land for Wildlife conservation program

The Department of Parks and Wildlife’s well-regarded Land for Wildlife conservation program is partnering with NRM WA to help participants manage their bushland for wildlife habitat.

Land for Wildlife is a voluntary scheme to encourage and assist private landholders to provide habitat for wildlife in bushland on their property.

There are currently 1941 registered landholders, with a total of 286,614 hectares of bushland being managed as wildlife habitat through the program.

Mr Jim Sharp, Director General Parks and Wildlife, said the collaboration with NRM WA regional organisations would benefit private land managers and the State’s biodiversity conservation.

“This agreement and partnership arrangements with the NRM organisations is an exciting development for private land conservation in Western Australia,” he said.

As a result of the agreement, the Northern Agricultural Catchments Council (NACC) will take on a leading role to deliver Land for Wildlife in the WA’s Northern Agricultural Region – encompassing 7.5 million hectares from Gingin to Kalbarri and east to Mullewa, Perenjori and Kalannie.

NACC CEO Richard McLellan said the organisation was excited by the new collaboration, and was looking forward to working with Parks and Wildlife.

“We are particularly looking forward to connecting with existing Land for Wildlife member land managers across the region, to maintain this important land stewardship program, and to introducing the scheme to new land managers,” he said.

“Our role in the partnership will be to provide field extension and expertise in land management support to landholders; community engagement; and information dissemination; as well as providing considerable local knowledge about land management practices and local biodiversity conservation.”

Mr Sharp said Parks and Wildlife, which has run Land for Wildlife since 1997, will continue to administer the program through coordination of property assessments, registering and supporting new participants and communications including the Western Wildlife newsletter.

Jim Sullivan, Chair NRM WA, said the services each NRM organisation will provide to Land for Wildlife members would be determined in coming months.

“It is anticipated that NRM bodies will work with landholders in each region, linking them into networks and local communications,” he said.

Mums and Downsizing Corporates Reap Coworking Benefits

Work-from-home mums and downsizing companies in Geraldton are reaping the benefits of coworking as a way of escaping the home office and adjusting to a downsizing economy.

Pollinators, which offers the state’s leading regional coworking premise, is experiencing an increase in interest from both sectors as they adjust to personal needs and economic fluctuations.

Pollinators Space Lead Angie West said coworking offered the idea blend of social interaction and professional work space that mums who usually worked from home were seeking.

“Working from home is great but there are times when we yearn for the opportunity to network, to work from a professional space, and to bring clients to corporate meeting rooms,” she said.

“It’s amazing the kind of magic that can happen when like-minded people come together and meet while making a coffee in the coworking kitchen – it’s what’s known as the watercooler effect.”

Mrs West said coworking was also proving an attractive alternative to companies downsizing in response to changing economic times.

“It means these companies can maintain a professional office space and essential services such as a boardroom and meeting spaces without the overheads of having their own premises,” she said.

“And of course there are the benefits in reducing overheads by using a shared office space.”

The graduates of Geraldton Purpose Coach Fleur Porter’s eight-week ‘Incubators’ program meet in the coworking spaces monthly to support, encourage and inspire each other.

"We're all solo business people who are working on our own so it's great to be able to come together for that feeling of community and to encourage and support each other," Ms Porter said.

"I formed the Incubators graduate group to have that sense of tribe or community so coworking provides a way for the people working locally to extend that and get together."

The coworking trend in Geraldton is part of an international movement towards coworking, with the number of coworking spaces increasing by 36 per cent worldwide, according to the Coworking Europe Conference in Milan.

The conference survey found there are around half a million people working in coworking spaces across the globe. 

ACDC joins CreativeHub

ACDC Chairman Brendan Penzer, committee members Lizzy Robinson and Peter Howard, Pollinators Chairman Paul Dyer, Pollinators Space Lead Angie West and Pollinators Board Member Natasha Colliver.

Pollinators’ new CreativeHub premises is transforming into the vibrant, multipurpose creative space that Pollinators have planned for, with the Arts and Cultural Development Council (ACDC) the latest venture to move into the West End CreativeHub premises at 189 Marine Tce.

The ACDC move marks a major transformation for the region’s peak arts organisation, which is not only moving premises but also revamping the range of services it offers to the Mid West arts community.

ACDC Chairman Brendan Penzer said the move marked exciting times for the organisation.

“The move to CreativeHub will mean we’re part of this really exciting creative space,” Mr Penzer said.

“We’ll have a dynamic and flexible new exhibition and workshop space, and we’ll be around fellow creatives, who also use CreativeHub.

“We’re going through a period of real renewal and this move is one part of our transformation.

“It’s exciting times here at ACDC and we can’t wait to really revitalise the arts community from this new venue.”

Pollinators Space Lead Angie West said the ACDC move to CreativeHub married perfectly with Pollinators’ vision of offering a collaborative space for makers and creators to co-locate in a maker space.

“ACDC joins The Comedy Emporium and Headspace Geraldton as arts and youth services working from the same venue,” Mrs West said.

“We’ve also got plans for the entire top floor of the CreativeHub building located next door to be transformed into a ‘MakerSpace’ for smaller-scale creative ventures that will be able to link in with ACDC for exhibition space and workshops in the future.

“With the gorgeous artwork on the front of the building, and these exciting creative ventures inside, there’s a real sense of vibrancy, innovation and excitement – which is exactly what Pollinators had hoped for. 

"Watch this space for more developments at the CreativeHub.” The CreativeHub is supported by Panaceum Group and St John of God Hospital. ACDC is funded by the City of Greater Geraldton and Country Arts WA.

Coastal voices uniting in Geraldton

Sorting through beach wrack on Geraldton's coast.

Geraldton beach lovers are being called on to express their interest in joining a Geraldton-wide coastcare group.

The Northern Agricultural Catchments Council (NACC) is seeking to facilitate the establishment of the new group as well as bring together the number of dedicated coastcare groups already working on different sections of the Geraldton coastline, such as Drummonds Cove, Sunset Beach, Bluff Point and Point Moore.

The aim of this project is to establish a new umbrella coast care group across Geraldton that includes representatives from the existing groups and focuses on coastal issues that affect the entire Geraldton coast.

Geraldton’s coast is not only an important recreational asset for the community but it is also a very important ecosystem that requires community protection.

NACC Coastal and Marine Program Coordinator Dr Mic Payne said: “Most Geraldton residents feel a strong connection to their coast; it helps define our community and is a place where we go to relax.This new group will give local residents the capacity to become directly involved in managing this precious asset.”

Projects that the new group might undertake to help protect this environment include revegetating degraded dunes, managing pedestrian and off-road vehicle impacts, various community monitoring projects, controlling invasive weed species such as African Boxthorn and liaising with authorities on coastal erosion issues.

Dr Mic Payne said the group would provide more support for those wanting to volunteer their time in protecting the Geraldton coastline.

“Many local Coastcare groups are feeling the pressure of increasing impacts on coastal ecosystem whilst experiencing decreased Coastcare group membership. I hope that a broad membership base for this new group will help spread the workload and allow for frequent turn-over of office bearers to avoid burn-out,” he said.

The project is supported by the NACC and the City of Greater Geraldton, through funding from the the Department of Planning’s Coastwest Grants Program and the Australian Governments National Landcare Programme.

The inaugural meeting of the new group is planned for June this year.

iTunes tax payment scam

In the latest version of the phone scammers pretending to be the ATO, you will be asked to pay a tax debt via iTunes cards.

WA ScamNet has a copy of a similar voice message used in a previous scam. 

On 6 May 2016 a 52-year-old Mandurah woman reported to Consumer Protection that she had bought about $7,000 worth of iTunes cards to pay phone scammers. 

On 9 May 2016 a Melbourne grandmother told 9NEWS a similar story after losing $5000 on iTunes gift cards.

From time to time the ATO may contact you by phone, but you should be wary of unsolicited phone calls claiming to be from the ATO and offering you a tax refund or aggressively demanding a payment.

Our advice hang up or ignore the message. Do not call these scammers back. 

If you are unsure, contact the ATO directly on 1800 008 540.

More information and advice about this scam is available on WA ScamNet.

Budding Filmmakers in Action

Kids at Leaning Tree learn the art of filmmaking as part of the Scinapse’s SciFilms workshops.

Budding filmmakers have their creations on YouTube after learning the art of filmmaking at Scinapse's SciFilm workshops on April 29 and 30.

A group of students at Learning Tree school, and a group of adults at Pollinators’ CityHive, learned how to use their mobile devices to capture three-minute science-related stories, then edit them and prepare them for the big screen.

The top 15 shortlisted films from across the state will be screened on cinemas as part of Inspiring Australia's SciFilms competition, run in partnership with Film Harvest. Audiences will then vote live for their favourite.

Cash prizes will be presented for Judge's Choice and People's Choice.

You can view their creations on YouTube at https://youtu.be/kJVcb7KKWhc.

Scinapse chairperson Emma Jackson said the workshops were a fun and hands on way to learn how to tell a

science story, and share that in a visually interesting way to others.

She said the kids at Leaning Tree were particularly interested in learning the techniques of filmmaking using the simple story of washing hands.

"We got some great feedback, especially from the kids who got right into the subject - they couldn't believe that 95 percent of people don't wash their hands properly," Ms Jackson said.

Filmmakers can still submit three-minute films for the competition, with entries closing on July 22.

Port levy scrapped after it generated double what it was intended for initially

Not sure who does the accounting for the state government. But a levy at Geraldton's port that was put in place to repay a $107 million loan in 2003, actually generated $210 million, and only reduced the loan by $40 million. 

The government has decided the debt is to be cleared and the levy scrapped, following letters from Nationals member MLC Paul Brown. 

Not everyone is happy with the levy being scrapped though.

Attorney General contacts the Prisoner Review Board regarding Greenough Axe Murderer

Geraldton MLA Ian Blayney has welcomed news that the Attorney General has sent forward his correspondence regarding the sentence review of Greenough Axe Murderer, William Patrick Mitchell, to the Prisoners Review Board.

“I am very pleased that the Attorney General has responded to my letter and to the petition I presented to the Legislative Assembly – which contained 3000 signatures – this way.

“By bringing it to the attention of the Board he is ensuring that they give consideration to the concern of the Geraldton community, when they review Mr Mitchell’s sentence.

“It is my hope that the Board also take into consideration the initial sentencing of Mr Mitchell and that decision that he should never be released from prison,” said Mr Blayney.

Help create a green city

Join a community planting day this June.

A green city has been identified as our community’s top priority and you can help make this vision a reality by taking part in community tree planting days.

The City is urging the community to be a part of the green transformation by joining in tree planting events which will be held in June.

City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn said the planting days were a result of community consultations.

“In previous public consultations we asked the public what would make Greater Geraldton a better place to live and we found that having a green city was a top priority,” he said.

“We are now asking for people’s help in making this priority a reality by joining in our community tree planting days.”

The first planting day is on Saturday 11 June from 10am-12noon with a free sausage sizzle afterwards and is being hosted by the Chapman River Friends. The planting will be on the corner of Swan Drive and Chapman Road, Sunset. Parking is at Spalding Park, where the group will return afterward for a BBQ.

The second will be at Back Beach on Saturday 18 June from 2pm to 4pm, with a sausage sizzle afterwards. Planting will be in the South Pipe dunes just south of the Surf Club. Parking will be available at the Surf Club.

Everyone is welcome to take part in the Community Planting Day, no gardening experience is necessary. Wear suitable clothes and bring your own gloves, hat, water bottle and hand spade if you have one.

This project is supported by funding through City of Greater Geraldton, the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program and Green Army Program, and the West Australian Government’s State NRM Program.

Grant funds repairs to 24 rural roads

More than $3.7 million in external funding has been secured by the City of Greater Geraldton to undertake repairs and minor upgrades to 24 rural roads damaged during flooding events last year.

The majority of the repairs will be on unsealed roads spread over an extensive area.

City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn said the funding from the Western Australia Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements program was significant and helps support the local economy.

“Through this 100 per cent funded program the City has the opportunity to invest millions of dollars of external funds into our rural road network,” he said.

“The repairs and upgrades to 24 rural roads will create a significant economic boost to the region by supporting local contractors who have been appointed to undertake the work.

“Local contractor Central Earthmoving was recently awarded the tender and The City is currently finalising the scope of work for each road with the contractor. Works are expected to begin shortly.”

Stage Two Flores Road resurfacing begins

Stage Two of the Flores Road resurfacing project which will add the final layer of asphalt to the road will begin next week.

Works include lifting storm drainage pits, replacing existing kerbing and laying an additional 50mm of asphalt.

City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn said the application of the second layer of asphalt will provide an even driving surface for motorists.

“Now that the first layer of asphalt has had time to stabilise cracks that have appeared in the surface over the past two years can be repaired before applying the final layer of asphalt that will smooth out any dips that have developed during the settling of the road,” he said.

Resurfacing works are scheduled to begin on Monday 16 May 2016 and estimated to be completed by the end of June.  To minimise disruption during this time southbound traffic will be diverted over Bradford Street while Northbound traffic will still be able to use Flores Road.

The $375,000 project is funded through the Mid West Regional Road Group.

Ahoy!

Paul Brown MP and guests aboard the HMAS Perth

Nationals WA Member of Parliament and candidate for the seat of Geraldton Paul Brown MP, was privileged to host members of the Geraldton Returned Service League (RSL), along with Project PAX members and their partners at a VIP luncheon and tour aboard the Royal Australian Navy Frigate HMAS Perth on Friday.

Mr Brown and his guests were taken on a tour of the HMAS Stirling fleet base before boarding the HMAS Perth. The group where shown around the working warship before dining in the ‘Wardroom’ with the Captain and First Officers.

“Not everyone gets to experience a working warship and the day was a fantastic opportunity for everyone that attended.” Mr Brown said.

The VIP luncheon and tour was made possible through a fundraising auction held by the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) with RFDS representatives also taking part in the day.

Mr Brown praised the hospitality of the Captain, Officers and crew of the HMAS Perth, who also provided a wonderful history of the three warships who have been christened HMAS Perth.

The Project PAX members are working to help those from the military and emergency services suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The guests from Geraldton included Don Rolston who is the Warden of the HMAS Sydney II Memorial in Geraldton and Ian Heberle who is the President of the Geraldton RSL.

“It was such an insightful day in so many ways, and I thank my guests for enhancing the experience. Not only through the sharing of their wartime experiences, but also through their ongoing commitment to honouring and helping Australian servicemen and women, past and present.”

Consideration being taken for an oceanside pool in Geraldton

An artists rendition of what the Geraldton Ocean Baths might look like https://www.facebook.com/GeraldtonOceanBaths/

A 3D laser light installation and an ocean pool at the Foreshore are two potential attractions to be investigated by tourism specialists to assess their viability for Geraldton.
 
The City of Greater Geraldton, in partnership with the Mid West Development Commission, are seeking tenders for specialist tourism experts to explore the feasibility of either projects and assess the potential economic tourism benefits, including increased tourist visits, length of overnight stays and local spend.
 
City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn said there was great potential to significantly enhance the region’s profile as a tourism destination, particularly with an iconic attraction such as a 3D laser light installation or an ocean pool.
 
“The success of the recent Triple J One Night Stand concert demonstrated the effect high value events and attractions can have on our local economy,” Mayor Van Styn explained.
 
“That event injected an estimated $1.5 million into the community, with local businesses and community groups praising the event for the amazing financial benefits.”
 
Mayor Van Styn said no decision has been made by Council on either of these projects.
 
“The prefeasibility study is part of proper due diligence so that the Council can consider the proposals on an informed basis,” the Mayor explained.
 
He said the two potential attractions were in line with the City’s strategic plan for tourism and would complement the extensive work already done along the Geraldton Foreshore.
 
“The Geraldton Foreshore has undergone significant redevelopment recently providing an iconic attraction for the local and visiting public,” Mayor Van Styn said.
 
“An ocean pool could enhance the area and be an additional tourist attraction.”
 
Mid West Development Commission Chair Murray Criddle said the prefeasibility work for both of these project concepts was essential to determine their economic viability, which will be important if external funding is to be sought.
 
“Any projects wanting to be considered for Royalties for Regions funding need to be supported by robust economic analysis and this is why these prefeasibility works are vital,” Mr Criddle said.
 
Mayor Van Styn said cost impacts on delivering and operating both projects will also need to be considered.
 
“Council are highly focused on delivering quality and cost effective services to the community,” he said.
 
“Any proposals that have the potential to increase these cost structures must be carefully considered and weighed up in terms of economic benefit they could deliver against increased cost to ratepayers.”

Boundary adjustment premature according to Mayor

A boundary adjustment which would see Mullewa become part of Chapman Valley has been deemed “too premature” and will not go ahead in the near future.  
 
City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn met with Chapman Valley Shire President John Collingwood and both Council CEOs yesterday to discuss the possible local government boundary change.
 
Neither council had formally considered the matter and there does not appear to be unwavering support from the community to look at boundary adjustments at this time.
 
“We have a great relationship with the City of Greater Geraldton and we both agree that any decisions must be made in the best interests of our respective communities,” President Collingwood said.
 
The City of Greater Geraldton has a current amalgamation agreement with the former Mullewa Shire Council until 2019 which would prevent any changes until that time.
 
“The City is in the last year of equalising rates between the former Mullewa Shire Council and the former Geraldton-Greenough City Council so it is premature to consider a boundary adjustment at this point in time,” Mayor Van Styn said.
 
Mullewa Councillors had expressed their opinion, believing a merger with Chapman Valley could create a rural community of interest which could better represent the demographic of their community.
 
“We were happy to open the dialogue with the City to see if it had merit and while those present at the meeting saw benefit in having local government boundaries more representative of their community of interest, we did not see any merit in moving forward with the proposal at this time,” President Collingwood said.
 
Yesterday was the first meeting between the local government authorities to discuss the matter, it had not been formally discussed at any official council meetings.
 
Mayor Van Styn said, “unless there was widespread community support for a boundary adjustment I will not be taking this matter to City of Greater Geraldton Council to consider”.

Changes to City of Greater Geraldton Carpark Stations

City of Greater Geraldton rangers are alerting drivers that Carpark stations have changed.

Carpark stations within the City of Greater Geraldton have changed to provide an improved user friendly experience and consistency with signage located throughout the State.

City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn said the City’s parking machines now provide credit card and coin payment options. 

“The credit card payment option is an added convenience however as with all technology, there are times when credit card connection to banks is affected preventing the use of credit card facilities,” the Mayor said.

“It is, however advisable to have coins at hand, because it is also a legal requirement to utilise the coin option if the credit card facility is faulty.”

Placing the parking ticket on the dash of the vehicle so it is clearly visible is also a legal requirement allowing the Parking Ranger to easily detect the ticket.

“Paying for parking either within a parking station or ‘on road’ parking has historically been a contention for many people,” said Mayor Van Styn.

“Contrary to what some believe, Parking Rangers do not enforce parking compliance for revenue gain, they monitor parking to assist local businesses with economic gain by ensuring potential customers have fair and regular access to parking bays.

“For example, if vehicles were permitted to park in the Marine Terrace mall with no time limits applicable, the ability for customers to park adjacent and or close to shops would be impacted and in turn negatively affect Geraldton’s economic as a whole.”

If vehicles overstay the permitted time limit, not only does that prohibit other vehicles from accessing parking, it also decreases small business revenue.

Duboulay Street tree maintenance

The City of Greater Geraldton wishes to advise it will be undertaking tree maintenance works on Duboulay Street in the West End from Tuesday 10 May to Wednesday 11 May 2016.

Maintenance works include the pruning of 19 of the Western Australian Peppermint Trees and the removal of three trees which have died or are excessively decayed.

Although the City is always reluctant to remove trees as they add to the liveability of the City, in this case the trees pose a serious risk to pedestrians, motorists and homes.  New trees will be planted to replace the trees being removed.

During the tree maintenance the Duboulay Street will open for local traffic only.  Motorists and pedestrians are requested to exercise caution and obey all warning signs and directions from authorised City personnel and contractors.

The City apologises for any inconvenience these works may cause.

If you have any queries regarding the renewal works please contact Graham Smith Reserves Supervisor on 08 9956 6600 or email council@cgg.wa.gov.au.
