He says the beach is ‘awful’ and the council has failed in its redevelopment plans.

But City of Stirling Mayor David Boothman disagrees.

He says the only thing holding up Scarborough’s redevelopment is the government’s refusal to provide funding.

In fact, he’s spent the last four or five months trying to set up a meeting with the Premier to discuss the plans, and so far hasn’t been successful.

Lutton said the development should be sent back to the drawing board as the scale of the design threatens the relaxed ‘human’ feel of the city.

His view has generated a fiery response from supporters of the scheme.

FuturePerth Chairman Sean Morrison has gone in to bat for the plan, saying it shouldn’t be interrupted by such a limited group of people.

He joined us today to tell us why he thinks the plan should go ahead.

We learn’t that you can’t begin to measure the sentimental attachment some of the musicians have for their instruments.

The utility was split into four components by the former Labor administration. The current administration is talking about taking two elements, the generation side of things which is handled by Verve, and the sales aspect of business, controlled by Synergy.

Sure we have rail lines and an expansive bus network, but there is no escaping the fact that as a culture we are drivers.

As we start getting wise to the idea of building up rather than out things might be on the change. But as we change out lifestyle patterns, we’re also going to have to change our transport patterns too.

Coming to a town hall near you are a series of public forum where you can air your issues and let someone know what it is you’d like to see happen with public transport in your area.

Lynas Corporation intends exporting 33,000 tonnes per annum of Rare Earth concentrate from its Mount Weld mine near Laverton, by trucking it to Fremantle and then shipping it to the town of Kuantan on the east coast of Malaysia for refining.

The mine is expected to operate for at least 20 years. The Rare Earth ores are higher in radioactivity than normal soils and typically contain low levels of radioactive elements thorium and uranium.

Despite Government claims that the radiation levels are low enough to designate the material as ‘non-hazardous for transport’, Ms Carles remains unconvinced that the material is absolutely safe.
