Yeah, its interesting work. I've got a disused alleyway out the back of my house that i've been having daydreams about doing something of this nature in since this arvo. 😆 Be a project and half though!

They were interesting reads.

I think it is on some of the old golf course. Going by the reporting a month or so ago, i think what set everybodies noses out of joint was the unnecessarily sneaky way the council put it put for 'public notice', then after all the negative feedback decided 'we've assessed our own actions and find them to be fine'.

Basically yet another example WA LGA's being made up of incomprehensible dolts. Its far from the most egregious example though, i think Nedlands or Port Hedland take that winners ribbon. But its a competitive field.

shoulda moved it to the golf course section.

Lot of cool details to notice on this map,

• Maylands Peninsula still has the airport.
• Narrows Bridge isn't built yet
• Ascot Race Course was called Perth Race Course (i wonder why the change)
• The Observatory is still by Kings Park
• East Perth Power Station is labelled as 'Electric Power Station'
• Collier Pine Plantation, looks like a massive pine plantation down Sputh Perth. (I wonder if any of those trees still exist?)
• Crown Casino is in the RIVER!! I had no idea they'd filled that part of the river in! Wild!

Browse sure seems troubled, but i don't know if i'd write it off. Never underestimate the determination of a fossil-brain. Na, there must be an attraction still.

In contrast, relying on Browse is not only insufficient but also problematic, as it may never happen.

Shell exited the project in 2023 due to likely low financial returns and high carbon emissions.

Browse does not have WA or Federal environmental approvals.

In 2024, the WA Environmental Protection Authority's preliminary view was that it was unacceptable due to the threat to Scott Reef from oil spills, risks to pygmy blue whales and the possibility of turtle nesting sites sinking below sea level.

After years of negotiation, the Browse joint venture has not been able to agree on a deal with the North West Shelf joint venture to process its gas for export.

That task is now harder after Japan's INPEX bought into Browse and likely intends to reconfigure the project to send the gas to its export plant in Darwin.

It is simply irresponsible to stake WA's economy on the mirage of Browse.

The development application recently closed its public advertising period, receiving 137 public submissions, including four objections.

“That number represents 97 per cent support from the community, which is really unheard of for a transformation on this scale,” Mr McLoughlin said

Thats a hopeful sign for sure. Hope they do well at the spot. No more trucks sitting on the train lines will help. ;)

Oh yeah! Right, of course.

Fairly sure BTT is referring to the test results for illicit substances in our sewers.

Oh, have I misunderstood, i just assumed it was agriculture and mining run off?

Took me longer than it should have to realise what 10 referred to.

Some of the most potent wastewater in the world

Lead the way in the field of floating party cubes.

Well, the more you know..

This place is growing so quick. I don't know if its a good thing or not, but thats whats happening. Looking across the city now it actually looks like there are three main hubs or high rises, City of Perth, South Perth, and Ardross. I suppose Rockingham would make a fourth.

This is a really smart idea, especially with WAAPA across the road at ECU a dedicated off campus space could really help grow those connections in a more relaxed atmoshpere.

I get the feeling, by the writing, people somewhat expected this outcome.

Very lucky not to have been worse tbh

Oh wow! Like a movie indeed. Glad everyones alright.... personally especially those SUV people, I know them!

I haven't been to a dog beach in years, there's always one dickhead with a crazy dog ruining it for everyone

The company is required under the Contaminated Sites Act to continually extract contaminated groundwater beneath the bauxite tailings to prevent the contamination from spreading.

This water was disposed of by using it in the refinery, where it evaporated.

With the refinery shut down, Alcoa now has permission to operate 37 giant sprinklers to spray thousands of tonnes of contaminated water an hour in a fine mist over the tailings, allowing some of it to evaporate.

Lol... 😬.. that doesn't sound great or a sustainable solution, even if only for the medium term.

Oh well, we can just reduce emissions when everyone is already dead.

Which part do you find least credible in particular?

That was my first reaction too. You've got to be kidding!

So we are going to help the environment by increasing, rather than reducing, emissions. Riiiiiigh. FFS.

The kids have their pressies sorted. I's thinking of getting a lunch box/bag for her. Currently spreading her work lunchea across two containers which take up a lot of room in her bag.
