New man at the helm of City Infrastructure Services

City of Greater Geraldton Director of the Department of Infrastructure Services Ross McKim.

The City of Greater Geraldton is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Ross McKim as the new Director of the Department of Infrastructure Services. 

City CEO, Ken Diehm, says Mr McKim’s extensive experience and knowledge in the area of infrastructure services are what made him stand out in the recruitment process.

"After a rigorous selection process, Ross emerged as the outstanding candidate to be the Director of Infrastructure Services.  He brings a great wealth of knowledge and experience in leading Local Government initiatives and infrastructure projects and I'm delighted to welcome him to our team at this exciting point in Geraldton's history,” he said.

The far North Queenslander who describes himself as a ‘local government tragic who enjoys working with politicians, community groups and local residents’ has spent more than 25 years working in local government.

“I began my career in local government in 1987 as a Graduate Engineer with the Brisbane City Council as a member of the Investigations Unit of the Water and Waste Water Department and have worked hard to progress up the corporate ladder,” Mr McKim said.

"I’m delighted and honoured to be joining the City of Greater Geraldton as it is a very progressive Local Government with a strong national reputation for community consultation and innovation.  I look forward to working with the Councillors, the Staff and the community to implement its vision for the region."

Ross and his wife Ruth McKim, who is an emerging artist and is currently studying Fine Arts, are looking forward to settling into the Geraldton community.

“I believe Geraldton has a very bright future ahead of it.  We love its natural beauty, the values held by this vibrant community and my wife and I are excited about making a contribution," said Mr. McKim. 

For the past four years, the Infrastructure Department had been led by Neil Arbuthnot, who resigned to be able to spend more time with his family.

Mr. McKim took up his new position on 12 October 2015.

Geraldton Roads And Why You Need To Protect Your Car

Sponsored by…

We all know the stresses of car ownership, especially here in Geraldton. An unfortunate combination of harsh weather conditions and loose road surfaces can cause a number of paintwork problems…

---

1.    Stone Chips.

If you ever want to drive out of town, these are pretty much unavoidable on bitumen road surfaces.

2.    Faded Paintwork.

This is an unfortunate downside of the awesome weather we get here in Gero. Over time the sun will fade unprotected paintwork.

3.    Paint Cracking.

This is caused by the sun heating your paintwork (especially dark colours) and cooling rapidly in the night. 

4.    Dust Contamination.

Another price we pay for living in this beautiful part of the world. This is where dust particles can actually set into your paintwork, and can be extremely difficult to remove.

---

How can I protect myself against these problems?

The guys over at Dark Star are now installing the new SunTek paint protection film to protect your car against these previously unavoidable paintwork issues.

The benefits – 

• A tough barrier to eliminate damage caused by stones, insects, salt and debris.
• Self-healing topcoat – Scratches and chips disappear with engine or sun’s heat.
• Nano technology construction to create a strong solvent resistant barrier.
• High gloss topcoat to match your pristine paint finish.
• Superior optical clarity for invisible protection.
• Can be easily removed at any stage, helping to improve future resale value of your vehicle.

Woman upset after her pet was dumped at the tip without her being informed

"Your missing pet might have been dumped at the tip." 

One morning a few weeks ago, a local woman who we'll call Mrs E left her house. While she was out, her pet cat was hit by a car in front of her home. 

The cat had been microchipped and registered as per the new cat laws. The cat cost $800, and was an exotic Persian. 

When the lady got home that afternoon, a neighbour came over and asked if anyone had been in touch. 

"No, no-one has called me," said Mrs E.

"Sorry to tell you your cat has been run over," the neighbour said. 

Mrs E was obviously upset at the news. But what made it even sadder for her was what she discovered next. 

Someone had already taken her pet away. 

Someone had contacted the City of Greater Geraldton regarding the dead cat, and they sent someone to collect the body. 

Mrs E said a friend of her's driving past stopped and begged the woman from the city not to take the dead cat, as it belonged to Mrs E.

But it was no use. The woman from the council said because it had been called in she "had to take it" according to Mrs E's friend. 

So the pet cat was thrown into the car and the car drove off. 

Once Mrs E heard what happened she set about retrieving her dead pet. She hadn't heard from whoever took the body, so she started ringing around. 

She rang the council, who couldn't help. She spoke with the rangers. They couldn't help. She rang all the vets in Geraldton. None of them could help. 

"No one knew anything," says Mrs E. 

So the next morning Mrs E got a description of the woman and vehicle that took her pet away from her friend, and again tried to get some information from the City. 

Then she waited for a call back. 

Later that afternoon she received a call. 

It wasn't good news. 

The woman told Mrs E that she had "already picked up a bunch of other deceased dogs and cats that day and your cat has been taken to the tip."

Mrs E was told there was no way at all she could recover the body of her pet. 

But what was more remarkable to Mrs E was that she wasn't even informed.

"My cat was desexed, microchipped, and registered with the council. I don't know why she wasn't scanned, and why I wasn't contacted."

Mrs E's biggest concern is for all the other people around town who have lost a pet, and can't find it anywhere. "Your missing pet might have been dumped at the tip," she says. 

Everything Geraldton contacted the City of Greater Geraldton last week regarding the matter, and we have even followed them up again since, asking if taking people's pets to the tip without scanning them or informing the owners is common practice. 

They have not responded. 

Geraldton gets a taste of Triple J’s hottest

Triple J regulars, I Know Leopard will head to Geraldton this weekend as part of their national tour for The Set List for one massive outdoor show at Lot 601 on the Geraldton Foreshore.

The band, who hails from Sydney, is excited to make the journey up to Geraldton after a successful tour so far in WA including Margaret River.

“We are really excited for Geraldton, as we will play amidst a festival so that sounds super fun,” said the bands frontman Luke O’Loughlin, “WA is a truly beautiful, peaceful state and we absolutely love having the time and opportunity to explore it right now [as part of the tour].”

I Know Leopard will be touring as part of an innovative new concert format called The Set List, that aims to bring young people on board to help plan and be the decision makers for the event.

“The Set List is a wonderful opportunity for us to engage with audiences that would otherwise be outside of our reach.” O’Loughlin said, “It's also great to be able to play all ages shows.”

Supporting I Know Leopard on their tour will be two local groups, The Inks & Carfax who were chosen through a competition by the band.

“This show will be one of the biggest shows I have ever played,” said local performer Carfax who will support I Know Leopard on Saturday, “I am extremely excited and honoured to say that I will be supporting such a unique and talented band.”

The I Know Leopard concert comes as part of the collaboration between the Sunshine Festival, G Fest and the City of Greater Geraldton as the inaugural Festivals on the Foreshore event, which has seen a weeklong of activities and events on the Foreshore.

“I really think Geraldton needs this and want this because I feel like I Know Leopard is bringing something fresh and new to the community’s ears,” said Carfax.

The event will see gates open in Lot 601, across from the Geraldton Regional Library at 4.00pm with the first act kicking off from 4.30pm.

Tickets are only $10 and can be purchased before the show at the QPT website, or on the gate, this is an all ages event.

Mental Health Services in Geraldton

I would like to raise awareness during mental health week of the failure of the current mental health systems in Geraldton. Recently I was diagnosed with bi polar and mild schizophrenia with anxiety and depression. This has so far taken professionals 2 years to find and have up until recently been prescribed a barrage of drugs and misdiagnosed by local GPs including many hrs in A & E at the hospital due to lack of sleep. Somehow I managed to hold a full time professional job until recently and I am now on 12 months leave without pay to "get well". My current treatment was kickstarted by a referral to a psychiatrist in Perth who referred me to my GP to receive care as a mental health patient at Mental Health. I attended on a set day and time and after assessment was told, "you're not suicidal or thinking of harming others so we can't help you but if it gets worse come back during office hrs or A&E after hrs". I contacted PHAMS and did get a case manager who saw me once in a month and was helpful and listened but the service is sporadic and apparently underfunded. Basically I feel, like a lot of others, that there is very little practical support on the ground for people with mental health issues and professionals have no idea how it can affect the individual and their families, financially, emotionally, physically and spiritually. It is draining and even more so when you feel like you have to go it alone, book weeks in advance to see someone or have complete lack of communication between so called professionals. WHERE IS THE HELP?

Hard work pays off for language ladies

Bundiyarra-Irra Wangga Language Centre workers, Edie Maher and Godfrey Simpson (left) and Rosie Sitorus (right), were on hand to congratulate the newest graduate teachers, Nadine Taylor and Leeann Merritt from Bundiyarra, and Natasha Ryan from Beachlands Primary School. Below: Their achievement called for a celebration with a yummy cake back at Bundiyarra!

Three local Aboriginal ladies have plenty to celebrate after graduating as qualified language teachers this month.

They were presented with their Aboriginal Languages Teacher Training qualifications at a graduation ceremony in Perth and the language centre team went along to support them and share their joy.

The three ladies started their language training in 2014 with block releases in Perth and Broome twice a year. The trainees had to be associated with a school, with Natasha already at Beachlands Primary School, and the language centre was able to negotiate positions for Nadine and Leeann at Waggrakine Primary School and Beachlands/ Meekawaya respectively.

Language Centre Coordinator, Jenny Kniveton-Gregory, said the graduates will complete a year on probation, after which they have the position of ‘Limited Authority to Teach’.

“This means they can’t yet have a classroom to themselves, but they can work within the school as an employee,” she said.

“It’s a great achievement for them all having graduated, as they all have busy lives and lots of other commitments, but they’ve stuck it out, and now we’re lucky in this region as we get three more qualified language teachers!

“Most if not all language teachers in the region started out in this program.

“It was a happy graduation if a bit emotional, as everyone was so overwhelmed by all their achievements and so proud of how far they’ve come,” said Jenny.

Bundiyarra CEO, Marchelle Retallack, congratulated the ladies.

“Three years ago Leeann sat behind a hidden desk and said she was only a transcriber. It just shows that selfdetermination, good mentoring, and real opportunity does make a difference to people’s lives,” she said.

“Bundiyarra and the board is proud of them all.”

Bundiyarra-Irra Wangga Language Centre staff, Jenny Kniveton-Gregory, Edie Maher, Rosie Sitorus and Godfrey Simpson thank Adrian Huber, (left) from Wrays, an intellectual property law firm that has kindly done some pro bono work for the language centre.

Language centre Coordinator, Jenny Kniveton-Gregory said Wrays has helped the centre get all its agreements and contracts up to scratch for copyright.

“They are helping us make sure all our practices protect the IP of Bundiyarra and the individuals and communities we work with,” she said.

Promotion: Growth versus Greed and Neglect

Greed

In years gone by a previous CEO invested City funds into dodgy American investments pursuing growth at all costs with disregard for the wellbeing of our community, in the end losing us as ratepayers millions of dollars.

In 2012, ratepayers were slugged with a rate rise of an average of 27% rather than seeing City administration costs slashed.

There has also been a case put by people in the iron ore industry that Point Moore would make a good port facility/ warehouse area. Imagine what the residents think of that! Who represents those guys?

Neglect

Since 2000 under the stewardship of people who are candidates in this election we saw assets neglected at a City wide level, in the pursuit of an ever growing City. If you can’t even look after your playgrounds how on earth will you look after your growth plans?

Change

The Change that is needed is to begin focusing on what we have and valuing that. We must change our greed and growth at all costs cycle and ensure we can live within our means. We must change and begin listening to our community and deliver quality assets in a low risk, sustainable manner. That is true Change.

Time to Vote

The time to vote is now, so help me make the changes we need as a City and support me for Mayor.

Free tipping periods resolved by council

Council at its meeting on 22 September 2015 resolved that there will be free tipping periods introduced during the year in response to concerns relating to the withdrawal of the vergeside collection and introduction of tip fees.

The community are also advised that the entry charge for tipping at the Meru Waste Disposal Facility at Narngulu will come into effect on 1 November 2015. 

The fees being introduced at the landfill include $10 per entry for each load up to three tonnes of unsorted, mixed, general household waste for all motor vehicles including those with trailers, utilities or light trucks.

Residents who choose to separate their waste into separate streams will pay only $5. These streams include clean green waste, mixed general waste, household putrescible waste and recyclable materials.

Please note that there are no changes to commercial tipping fees.

Residents are reminded that for green waste to be able to be recycled into mulch it must not be contaminated with any other waste. Green waste that is contaminated with other waste matter will incur the $10 fee. 

Eftpos payment services are also available at Meru.

As part of the 2015/16 budget, it was announced that the annual bulk verge side collection has been discontinued.

In response to this, the City will be providing an alternate service for pensioners which will provide for one free bulk bin service to each property per annum. This service to eligible pensioners will commence in November, 2015.

Pensioners wishing to access this service, can ring the City’s Customer Service Team on 9956 6600 or visit our website www.cgg.wa.gov.auto get details on how to apply.

Not for profit agencies are also eligible to be exempt from these fees, but will need to make application to the City for the exemption to apply.

City of Greater Geraldton CEO, Ken Diehm, said the City was mindful that not everyone had the ability to get their rubbish to a waste facility.

“We have therefore put in place a strategy including, both the free bulk bin for pensioners and residential free entry periods,” Mr Diehm said.

“There is absolutely no need for illegal dumping and as members of this great community we shouldn’t tolerate it or turn a blind eye to it either.

“Our rangers will be vigilant in this space but everyone can do their bit to help keep our city clean.”

Illegal Dumping in Western Australia may be reported using the illegal dumping hotline (1300 766 541), online, or the City using the Snap, Send, Solve mobile phone application.

Residents are also encouraged to register and become a litter reporter by heading to this link http://www.kabc.wa.gov.au/report-littering/register-as-a-litter-reporter

Free tipping periods are as follows:

• March – 1 week (7 days) for domestic waste to a maximum volume of three tonnes. There are no limitations on the volumes of green waste accepted during this week; 
• June – 1 weekend (1 Saturday and the adjoining Sunday) for clean domestic green waste alone;
• September – 1 week (7 days) for domestic waste to a maximum volume of three tonnes. There are no limitations on the volumes of domestic green waste accepted during this week; and
• December – 1 weekend (1 Saturday and the adjoining Sunday) for clean domestic green waste alone.

These dates will be further advertised using the City’s media channels.

Regional Organisational Sustainability Program

Geraldton MLA Ian Blayney has welcomed the news that Geraldton and the Midwest have been so successful in their applications for funding through the Regional Organisational Sustainability Program.

The Department of Sport and Recreation supports regional sporting bodies through this program.

Bodies that have the responsibility of developing players, officials, coaches and events on a regional basis are provided funding through the Mid West Gascoyne office. In return, these bodies must demonstrate a high level of planning and sustainability at both an operational and strategic level.

“I’m delighted that Sport and Recreation Minister Mia Davies has approved the following funds to Geraldton and the Midwest,” said Mr Blayney.

“It is reassuring to see the hard work of these sporting organisations being rewarded,” said Mr Blayney.

“I look forward to witnessing their future successes,” Mr Blayney said.

Price calls for submissions on improving Indigenous education

Member for Durack Melissa Price is calling for submissions on how to improve educational outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. 

Submissions will be submitted to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Indigenous Affairs’ inquiry into education outcomes for Indigenous students. 

Ms Price, who is a member of this committee, said the committee will inquire into the key aspects of education opportunities and outcomes for Indigenous students up to school leaving age. 

“This is an opportunity for people to have their say on how the Federal Government can improve things such as access to schooling, outcomes of pre-schooling and the provision of boarding school education,” Ms Price said. 

“This inquiry will allow people to share their views on the benefits of different school models for Indigenous students in all parts of Australia. 

“All submissions must be made by Friday October 30.” 

Submissions can be made by emailing: IndigenousAffairs.reps@aph.gov.au
