Perth / Western Australia

Bit if a fluff piece, sorry, but i love to see TAFE getting continued investments.

After going to the cricket last week I have decided we need 2 new categories to the WA Music awards. What other categories do we need?

1. Best song supporting WA teams at sports event.
2. Best song about WA that evokes heart felt pride (especially when played in a pub over seas).

Long live the dominance of the name Oliver. Or is it a scourge? I know a couple Olivers, i could apply it either way, tbh.

For the actual numbers of each name see here

Quokkas are best known on Wadjemup-Rottnest Island although small groups live in the forests of Noongar Boodja, mostly around Jarrahdale, Dwellingup, Collie, Nannup, Northcliffe, Denmark, the Stirling Ranges, Green Ranges and Bald Island.

Wtf, i only knew about rottnest and like one other place down south.

With big-ticket items such as the AFL coming to Bunbury in 2025, Mr Miguel said the city would look at what other major projects it could introduce.

"We've spoken about a potential ocean pool, an art gallery, upgrades to Bicentennial Square, and a new hotel in the CBD," he said.

These are pretty small minded and/or transient projects. A city and population size like Bunbury should be thinking how to compete with Perth for actual industry share, not competing with Busselton or Margs for tourists.

Critical Minerals logistics and refining could be an area Bunbury is competitive, seeing as theres apparently reasonable quantity of Lithium down that way.

Maybe even set a course to get into battery manufacturing becoming a lithium battery specialist zone.

For those who may be going for an xmas light hunt.

Whats everyone's plans to swelter through the weekend?

Good Morning Perth!

My mother in-law and I are interested in getting solar with Batteries, but i am really not sure of the options are at the moment, at least from a cost and rebates perspective.

What are the current costs for your installs or quotes you have received?

Feel free to should out any good suppliers/installers you have worked with

Thanks!

They were also allowed to skirt the usual requirement to widen the adjacent Lyric Laneway. They would have had to widen it by 1.5m under the planning scheme, but were instead given concession for a minor 0.5m widening under the justification there was an electrical transformer in the way.

I understand the justification for this is a transformer which has since been moved, but i dont think the people of Maylands, businesses and ratepayers alike, understand what is so special about that town centre.

It is because that centre is reasonably pedestrian friendly and reasonably car unfriendly that Maylands is so attractive as a town centre. I mean its basically 200 metres either side of the railway station plus Eighth avenue, and its associated laneways, its a very walkable area, with a fair residential density in and around that area.

Demanding laneway widening is another step to undermine that strength Maylands has. It specifically creates a car sized environment, instead of a human scale environment. If anything the centre of Maylands should be enacting policies creating a human scale environment. That means smaller laneways are preferable.

Long story short, re-exempt them from the lane widening, on the grounds of creating a human scale Maylands.

I have to look for a christmas present for a nephew, and one of the thoughts was a poster of basketball players. Anyone know where there are places to buy them now?

I know there was a place at the royal show, but i am damned if i know where to go now.

There are online places, but shipping is about the same as the poster itself!

would love some options,

thanks!
