Art stolen, heart broken by DAVID BELL A CHILD’S painting has been stolen from the Bayswater Art Awards and Exhibition, leaving the young artist devastated. Malinda Coppola issued an online appeal saying her 14-year-old daughter Grace’s painting was stolen from Maylands The Rise, and asking people to share the image in the hope someone might have spotted it. It would’ve been nicked in the lead-up to October 18, when the gallery was open to the public. “What was supposed to be a fun experience has now been incredibly dampened by the fact that her artwork was in fact stolen,” Ms Coppola says. “Words really cannot express how upsetting this whole situation has been, especially for Grace who has worked very hard on her piece and was really proud of her e orts I am utterly disgusted and disappointed that this has happened.” The council’s pointing people to contact the city’s security watch service on 1300 360 333 if they have info on the stolen painting. T o o h ig h • Maylands state abor MP isa Baker, unknown, federal abor MP lannah MacTiernan and Bayswater mayor Barry McKenna at a protest to stop the se en-storey proposal. Photo supplied | Alannah MacTiernan by EMMIE DOWLING TWO heritage buildings in Bayswater are temporarily safe from demolition after a state planning panel unexpectedly rejected plans for a seven-storey project. The local development assessment panel rejected, four votes to one, Yolk Property Group’s proposal for 27 apartments at 9-11 King William Street. Yolk director Pete Adams concedes the decision blindsided him. “We have been working closely with the City of Bayswater for over 12 months to create plans that work with their vision to help re-energise the street and also to accommodate the state’s vision to create transit-orientated developments near train stations,” he said. “Given we met all the requests we were a bit surprised.” Dozens of local protestors welcomed the decision, however, including federal Perth Labor MP Alannah MacTiernan, who admitted thinking she had een fighting a losing attle The decision preserves, for now at least, two 1905 buildings, a red brick cottage and streetfront shop which was originally McLeish’s Grain Store and built by prominent builder Henry Halliday. Having spoken against the proposal at Monday’s DAP meeting, Ms MacTiernan, formerly a state planning minister, says the plans should not have gone as far as they had. She criticised Yolk for seeking to squeeze an extra two storeys on the original five storey plan by lowering ceiling heights. She says this should be a wake-up call for authorities to listen to local communities, saying “there was no real engagement”. “It’s laughable...it was a pathetic attempt at heritage retention,” she says. Locals say the proposal did not suit the area’s village feel: they want a smaller proposal that retains more heritage and has space for trees. The DAP’s reason for refusal was the proposal’s failure to adhere to the local planning scheme. It was two storeys too high, did not provide enough privacy for residents, and setbacks were o The DAP consists of three appointed members and two Bayswater councillors, Terry Kenyon Confused about Solar? When it comes to Solar there are many inferior systems available at rock bottom prices. Ask yourself the simple question, “Why is this price so low?” In the long run superior quality saves you $$$ and hassle. If you agree, Solahaus is the choice.

Protestor Jacquie Kelly, who unsuccessfully stood for north ward at the recent council elections, is concerned the panel spoke little about protecting heritage. While happy the development was knocked back, she notes the council gave demolition approval in February, requiring just the facades to be kept. “I’ll be demanding an investigation into how this got through and how we got to this point,” she says. “This is not a win, but a step...let’s not let this happen again.” Mr Adams says his company will meet with opponents “to listen to concerns” and then review “what is possible”.

Photo by Matthew Dwyer L o c al s d e m and s q uat t e r ac t i o n by DAVID BELL AN empty house being used as a squat in Highgate is causing grief for neighbours, who ve su ere si burglaries in three weeks. Police attended 124 Wright Street three times in three days this week, and it’s no secret that some inhabitants are behind the thieving: on one occasion neighbours wandered through the squat’s open door and simply retrieved their goods while the squatters were out. The neighbours also fear for the welfare of one of the group, who’s been inhaling gas from nicked barbecue canisters: it’s not unusual for the smell to hang heavy enough in the air for assers y to get a strong whi Twice, the man has been foun unconscious from hu ng the gas, on one occasion coming to and then legging it with an ambulance already enroute. A local says the police response to calls has been impeccable and Vincent city council has also been very responsive, but the locals want the place secured and tidied up so squatters can’t get in. Property owner Tiger Developments currently has an application in front of the council to knock the place down and erect four three-storey grouped dwellings. The council refused that back in June and Tiger appealed to the WA state administrative tribunal. In September it was once again rejected, because there wasn’t enough setback from the street. Under new WA government laws just brought in, owners can demolish a property before getting approval for its replacement, and we hear Tiger’s now getting quotes for the knock-down. Until then, the back laneway gate has been secured in the hope of minimising dodgy activities (it has been a popular route for trying to evade attention).

A smooth concrete slab was laid over a bowls green that had been damaged in a frea storm five years ago SRHL commissioner Eamonn Lourey said the most important part of the rink was lighting, which allowed teams to train and compete at night — a luxury they haven’t had before. The crowdfunded rink opened on October 4, with games running late into the evening. Though the SRHL can be a rowdy bunch, Mr Lourey said the bowls club members “absolutely love us, and are shocked that our generation can be so thankful and polite”. And they have good reason to feel this way. Not long ago, the bowls club was struggling financially, an un er threat of eing ta en over for soccer fiel s ith the financial su ort of L members (and a new boom in the demand for beer and Pasito), the Bayswater Bowls is safe again. The rink marks a new age for the SRHL, which has grown rapidly from 10 teams to a whopping 89. “It’s an organised sport for • Teams “Freopian Tubes” the old ockers-looking erseys and “ hick Park” battle it out at the Bayswater rink opening day. Photos supplied | Kristinn Hermanniusson disorganised people,” Mr Lourey said. “The league has struck a chord with the youth of Perth, faciliting a change in suburban identity and encouraging a pride in the suburbs that its players call home. “Friends start a team representing their suburb. They collectively choose a name to go by, whip up a logo and jersey, and bleed for their ‘burb.” Most recently, the new rink was used for the biannual North vs. South All Star Weekend, in which the best -and worstplayers from each side of the river met to reignite an age-old rivalry. And as for the future of the league? “I plan on building a second SRHL rink south of the river sometime in the next year,” says Mr Lourey, who intends to partner with more suburban bowling clubs to ensure an ongoing mutual success.

The PBE is a quirky page where 65,000 punters trade booze for goods: Brandon from Ellenbrook might take a carton of bourbon for his heavy punching bag, while Alec in Beechboro might be happy with a six-pack of Guinness for a pair of gates.

Two Feet’s gone great guns and won many an award for its walking tours around the city but Vincent council’s pulled it up north of the border to tell tales about the town. Ryan Zaknich—who’s also been involved in the Museum of Perth venture which has ust got o the groun in the CBD—will spin a few yarns about Our rivers are beautiful BUT MORE PEOPLE DROWN HERE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE historical pubs, the gold boom era in Northbridge and the history of the area’s wetlands. A lot of our pubs around town are remnants of the gold rush era: the Northbridge Hotel was built by a father and son team who found a huge “gold eagle” nugget and invested it into the pub. The group’s setting out from Banks Reserve on November 1 at 9.30am for a two-and-a-half-hour leisurely ride, with frequent stops to chat history. It’s all free but book on 9273 6501, and if you don’t have a bike Vincent has a bike library where residents can borrow a treadly for free for a weekend. The Bayswater councillor recently won support for a working committee to investigate the creation of a multi-million dollar sustainability centre at the A-class reserve in Noranda. “Aside from the education and cultural enefits that a centre woul bring, I think it could become a popular eco-tourism site,” she says. “Eco-tourism is a burgeoning industry in Australia and I think, if done right, eo le woul oc to Lightning ar “A while back they had a night stalk there and it was sold out in a few hours.” Plans to create a sustainability centre stretch back to 2002, when the initial project was scoped out. In the 2011/12 budget, funds were allocated for the development of a concept plan for a sustainability centre at Lightning Park. The concept plan was developed by o cers in con unction with the resi ent of the Friends of Lightning Swamp and north ward councillors. The estimated cost was $2.4 million and the project ground to a halt with councillors wanting more detail on ongoing costs before committing to the ambitious plan. At the time, FOLS president John Williams said the council didn’t understand the “vision” for the centre and failed to allocate a brass razoo in its 2013/14 budget for it. Cr Sutherland says the government had to broach state, federal, private and academic bodies on helping to fund the ambitious sustainability centre.

Instruments from around the world gave the album a world music avour, which hit a cor in 1995, and it stayed in the top 20 for more than 18 weeks–and went platinum. The deep pumping sounds add to the edginess of lyrics that are at times spiritual — and accompanied by Perth artist Robert Buratti’s esoteric paintings and videos they’ll be raised to another plane for the tour. “I channelled unconscious images that came to me when listening to the music,” he says. “It lends…importance and depth, it would be a shame if it Race to The Oxford HOTEL Raising the unconscious plane T A HE RA LD PRO M O TIO NA L F E A TU RE was just a gig.” Lea singer e Burrows lived at Buratti’s North Freo studio some years back and the pair formed a friendship over music, art and Thelema, a philosophy and religion developed in the early 1900s by Aleister Crowley. Buratti’s art is liberally mixed with Thelema’s Egyptian iconography, particularly a pyramid topped with the eye of the god Horus (which is also on the US dollar note). The Edges of Twilight cover featured sculptor William Westmore’s Fallen Angel, and Buratti has drawn on this in 12 artworks for the album’s 12 songs. And also tossed a bit of Hinduism into the overtly mediaeval tombstone imagery in his vibrant works. Video of the artworks will accompany the songs on the theatre’s big screen. Touring Canada to rave reviews The Tea Party hits Aussie shores next month, and Buratti will be going along: “I get to live out my rock star dreams,” the “quasi” guitarist jokes.

TO COMMENT ON THIS PROPOSAL estate JENNY D’ANGER W ITH a toddler and baby and overseas rellies regularly visiting, the vendor of this North Perth delight really doesn’t want to move…but: North Perth stunner “If it had one more bedroom I would stay forever. The area is amazing,” she tells the Voice. Walking to her favourite cafes and shops in Leederville, North Perth and Hawthorn is too easy: “I tend to run — I have a double pram.” Sitting on a tidy 238sqm, the threebedroom cottage, is situated on a quiet urban street, close to everything — but also far enough away. And a street sign atop an old square timber post at the end of the street seemed to sum up the quaintness of the whole area. The stucco-clad brick home’s classic W H A T ’S N E W white ic et fence shows o the emeral green lawn of the generous front garden where the kids love to play, the vendor says. The verandah is the perfect spot to watch over them while enjoying a cup of tea and the paper. Insi e the early s home you ll fin high ceilings, rich chocolate arrah oors, ee s irting an a fire lace or two. A central lounge blends the old with the new of a rear extension, where almost oor to ceiling glass looks out onto a lovely courtyard garden. White ceramic sinks, whitefronted cupboards and honeygold timber bench tops are the perfect foil for the rich blue tiling in the generous kitchen, with its huge pantry. And the bathroom is a federation delight, with a deep claw-foot bath and separate shower. The lovely walled courtyard has a couple of large lemon trees (essential for gin and tonics come summer), and cedar cladding on the extension adds a pleasing ambience, and even the shed is cute. 2 Thompson Street, North Perth from $849,000 Donna Buckovska 0419 928 467 Beaufort Realty 9227 0887 Any persons wishing to comment on this proposal should do so in writing by 21 November 2015 to: CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER City of Vincent PO Box 82, LEEDERVILLE WA 6902 MOUNT LAWLEY FOR A FRESH, INSPIRING APPROACH TO PROPERTY MANAGEMENT THINK ACTON MOUNT LAWLEY Treating your investment property like it’s our own 678 BEAUFORT ST, MOUNT LAWLEY PH: 9272 2488 WWW.ACTON.COM.AU A V O ICE PRO M O TIO NA L F E A TU RE l fro and m av $3 ail 99 ab ,0 le 00 PARKSIDE Exclusive Seaside Living An exciting opportunity exists to secure prime real estate, surrounded by beautiful nature reserve, parklands and just a stone’s throw away from Port Coogee marina.

Photo supplied | Sue Ravine by EMMIE DOWLING T HE word “gay” has two meanings: to be happy, or to be homosexual (or any -sexual that doesn’t involve just man ‘n woman). From next week, both states of being will be celebrated across Perth at PrideFEST with two weeks of performances by the local lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) community. The opening event “Happy Pride”, on November 6, is a first for the festival since it was founded 25 years ago by Pride WA. The event is an outdoor party starting from 6pm, at the James Place Amphitheatre in Northbridge, and will give audiences a sneak peak of upcoming shows. Live entertainment Shows on the night include live entertainment from music talent Randa and the Soul Kingdom, DJ Roski and The Tommyhawks. Pride WA president Andrew Barker, who came out as gay 10 years ago at the age of 39, says the two-week festival is not just fun for everyone, but important for the LGBTIQ community to feel comfortable in public. “For example, if two guys are walking down the street holding hands, I would bet any money they would get at least one gibe from one end of Murray Street to the other,” Mr Barker says. “There are acceptance issues The FRIDAY Fling POWERHOUSE CELTIC BAND FLING PLAY CLANCY’S FREO 7:30 EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT IN nov-dec Page ii - Special Edition - The Perth Voice, Saturday October 31, 2015 • Happy Healthy Hoop Troop members Haley Newton, Bree KirkBurnnand and Katie Marshall are performing to “cheesy” 1980s and ‘90s music at the Pride Fest parade this week. Photo by Matthew Dwyer everywhere and that’s why it’s so important that Pride exists, and for the LGBTIQ community to be visible in public.” He says the festival has been instrumental in making his community feel more accepted than ever, and earmarked a lack of marriage equality as the main issue for the group going forward. When the festival started more than two decades ago, Pride WA was mainly an advocacy group standing for equality and the human rights of the LGBTIQ community, fighting laws that actively discriminated against them. Now, as attitudes have improved, and with legal equality achieved (except for marriage equality) Mr Barker says it’s become increasingly about arts and culture—and having fun. Tickets Happy Pride ($10 per person via the website or $15 at the door) is at the James Street Amphitheatre in Northbridge. More than 550 people had bought tickets when the Voice went to print. Pride WA members enter free before 8pm. Some other events are free. The festival ends on November 22, with the closing “25th anniversary Pride” parade on November 21, from 8pm.
