S o many of us have a lot to thank the local volunteers
of St John Ambulance for. I am taking this
opportunity to write as they have not sent in a monthly
report this month.
Because of the volunteer dedication over so many years
St John have rewarded our lower coastal area with a
brand new ambulance station with TWO ambulances, St John Ambulance
training rooms and I think you will agree a beautiful Lancelin & Coastal District
garden. (Woodridge sub branch)
The current team have training at least once
a month, and serve our community well.
Behind the scenes there have always been a
team of volunteers who man the phones to
get the crews out, clean the ambulance and
the station. These people are just as valued
as the men and women who save your lives,
or bandage you up.
Below is a picture of just one of those
volunteers—Dave Stroud. He has been
inducted as a member of the Order of St
John for his Service to Community. Kim
Beasley represents the Queen in W.A. So
Dave is very honoured. Thank to the

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Lancelin
Healthy Community Forum & supported by ZONTA Perth
Northern Suburbs for the wonderful Parent/Carer
workshop on Wednesday 19/5/21. Our presenters,
Carolyn, Nina & Catherine gave us a very rewarding &
powerful presentation. It certainly is a changing world and
our children certainly have a lot in life to manoeuvre!
Parents on the other hand need to keep up with the
changing world of internet, school etc. Of the small group
that attended this night, they were very impressed with the
presentation & felt they learnt some very valuable skills to
carry them through the mine field of parenting in today's
world.
Well another month has passed and Covid is still dictating
our lives, but hopefully we can start to return to some sort
of normality in the not so distant future.
We are still looking for VOLUNTEERS FOR THE SPRING
FAIR!!! So far no takers. If this wonderful event is to take
place, it can not be done on its merits!!

Time is now crucial. Looking for 4 people to share the
tasks involved & extras on the day. WCA committee
members will be your guiding hand & help.

term project of the upgrade to the playground.
We also take this opportunity to thank the Shire of Gingin
for co-ordinating the Volunteers Dinner/Dance in the
Granville Centre on Saturday Night 22/5/21
It certainly is a great way to give thanks to all the
wonderful VOLUNTEERS across the Shire. Many thanks
to Volunteering WA for granting the monies for
this night to be held. Food & music was a hit with
everyone, plus many thanks for the buses to ferry many
volunteers from the upper & lower coastal communities

“The study aims to identify what the long term
requirements are for Indian Ocean Drive, including
intersection treatments and the expected requirement for

investigation that will inform and guide the future role of

GUILDERTON COMMUNITY LIBRARY
celebrates 15 years of operation
In July 2021
As this milestone approaches it is important to reflect on
where it all started.
When you consider that it all began from one person’s
dream and determination, and continues due to the drive
of our library coordinator Madeline Henshaw and the
generous efforts of volunteers. Three of the current
volunteers have been at the library since its inception.
That dream came to fruition when the shire allowed us to
use the old first aid post. This was followed by a big clean
up and paint job of the facility and the fitting out with
book shelves - some donated by the shire and others made
by Graeme Henshaw. Our first major fund raising raffle
was a water tank donated by Brian Watson.
The enthusiasm for the library grew quickly and our tiny
building, approximately measuring only 7.5 meters x 2.5
meters very quickly became too small to accommodate our
expanding donation of books. In 2009 the library doubled
in size and was again extended in 2013, all with the
support of volunteers and the majority of materials being
donated. We have a community full of talented people
who were prepared to share their skills and contribute to
the community.
Donations of books started with Madeline’s own books,
and today due to our fundraising with book stalls and
previously the very successful annual Trash and Treasure,
we are able to purchase new books and accommodate book
requests by our diverse group of members.
The library is a wonderful example of a self sufficient and Lower Coastal
nurturing community. It has become a meeting hub that
brings people together to share not only a love of reading, Neighbourhood
but to build friendships and share stories of life’s little ups
and downs. All this creates a sense of community spirit Watch.

Labor confirms plans to diminish regional representation
17 May 2021
The Nationals WA have slammed the Premier and WA Labor during
Parliament this week for misleading regional voters of their intention to
introduce so-called one-vote-one-value electoral reform prior to the State
election.
During a Legislative Council debate, Member for the Agricultural Region Hon
Martin Aldridge MLC said the official State Government response had made it
clear Labor was pursuing mathematical equality ahead of effective regional
representation.
“Not only did the Premier repeatedly mislead voters about his intention to
silence regional voices, but Labor’s hand-picked panel of Perth academics has given voters just weeks to make a
submission on an issue with major long-term ramifications for our democratic process,” he said.
“The Ministerial Expert Panel chaired by Malcolm McCusker QC does not come to this issue with clean hands, having
long advocated for greater metropolitan control of the Parliament. This raises serious questions as to whether the
committee will give fair unbiased consideration of all views.”
Mr. Aldridge said effective regional representation was essential to addressing regional issues such as health and
education outcomes, serious injuries and deaths on our roads, cost of transportation and access to reliable
telecommunications that unfortunately affect regional communities more than metropolitan areas.
“It was also damning that no Labor regional MP contributed during the debate yesterday – this Party continues to claim
it represents regional interests but will quickly align to abolish it when it fits their city-centric agenda.”
The Opposition also questioned why the Attorney General announced that a Discussion Paper would be released by the
Committee two weeks into the consultation process, leaving only two weeks for submissions to respond.
“Publishing a discussion paper halfway through the process is further proof of Labor’s intention to ram through electoral
reform no matter what submissions are made,” she said.
“The one week extension of the submission deadline announced today is tokenistic and the whole process should be seen
for what it is, a complete farce.
“We urge all Western Australians to speak up on this important matter, it’s not right for Labor to use its massive
majority to ram through reforms that will significantly impact our State, in particular regional Western Australians, for
generations to come.”
Submissions to the Ministerial Expert Panel now close at 5pm on Tuesday 8 June 2021.
