| GPS coming to the Town's fleet. At the Sept 28 OCM, Bassendean Council called for a report on the fitting of GPS with duress 'duty-of-care' alarms on the 68 cars, utes, ranger units, buses trucks, ride-on mowers and sundry other vehicles'. Insurance companies now recognise the benefits of GPS tracking using low cost mobile phone and web systems ... with the reductions in costs and insurance premiums paying for installation & monitoring charges. As a guide to size, options are small enough to attach to dog collars & kids. Even BPG members have used GPS to record locations in our bio-management. |

Special meeting of Electors to discuss the Kurrajong tree outside 79 North Road, Bassendean Monday 7pm, June 14, Council Chambers, 48 Old Perth Rd ... up the ramp. |
| An important win for the river red gums on the Murray-Darling. On Wednesday May 19, NSW Premier Kristina Keneally reversed her position and passed a bill to protect river red gum trees in the Murray-Darling basin. Thousands of hectares of these sacred old trees were set to be logged, but with tireless campaigning of friends in the environment movement (particularly The Wilderness Society and the National Parks Association), these ancient trees will now be safe from logging. Click here to send a message of thanks to Premier Keneally on twitter, or here by email. |

There are many issues related to this historical tree that are planned to be considered at the Special Meeting. Watch this space for times and dates. A previous motion to save this Kurrajung tree had more than 300 signatures. It is believed that it was planted by THE Cyril Jackson almost 100 years ago. |

PRNRM Presentation |
Q. Where is Yellagonga Regional Park? A. As close as Joondalup and Wanneroo!  |
 |
|
| Koorong tree 79 North Road - update The petition signature count is now about 300 with 4 Ex-Mayors about to appear in the paper as part of Avril Whyte & others commitment to see what alternatives are possible. There should be more than enough signatures to call for a Special Meeting of Electors to discuss the many related issues. The Town of Bassendean's register of trees of significance should also be revamped, with appropriate pictures and stories related to each tree. They form an asset of the Town and like all assets of Local Government should receive appropriate support as part of the new Federal Sustainability policies. Watch this space! |
|
I have to admit that up to hearing the presentation
at the PRNRM, I was not aware of the Yellagonga Regional Park. It suffers the threat of pollution from stormwater runoff that suffers potential issues from Wangarra Industrial Park and nearby housing that is not sewered. The local long neck turtle suffers with fox numbers in the park, but there are management plans in place to do something about it. The Friends of Yellagonga Regional Park inc have some 260 members. They grow 10,000 - 12,000 plants per year for planting out. Check their website. |

(Purpuriecephalus spurius) probably female or juvenille. The males are a lot brighter in colour with a very clear dark red cap and mauve/purple breast. Quiet common but less so in suburbia though Kiara being a newer suburb and closer to the hills and more open habitat they are likely to be more common. They are a protected species. Thanks heaps for you interrest and don't hesitate to email me at the Ag Dept with more Q's |
At the CSIRO presentation at Floreat Park, April 29 2010, in answer to a question about the ecosystem and reduced rainfall & groundwater reserves, it was suggested that plants can adapt to a changing environment with decreasing water availability provided such changes were gradual ... makes you think! |

The Importance of Parks - listen to ABC Radio National Interesting points: If cities enjoyed good design, there would not be a need for parks. Parks should not be contained but be part of environmental/recreational links. Parks should be designed for both NOW and the FUTURE enjoyment. The design of parks should also cater for many generations. The Healthy Parks, Healthy People conference was held this week in Melbourne, April 11-16 2010 See also the AshfieldCAN project for ribbons of colourful everlastings, another way to join parks?! |
