Mosman Park is considering using the controversial pesticide glyphosate after losing its battle against weeds.

The council turned to non-chemical alternatives in 2021 after receiving a spray from residents over its glyphosate use.

But weeds have since grown like weeds with Town staff reporting that they now presented a severe safety risk to public footpaths and roads.

Katy Mason’s vacating of her local council seat will cost Cottesloe ratepayers up to $42,000, it was revealed this week.

Ms Mason had served just over two years on Cottesloe council before she relocated to Nedlands, making her ineligible to be a ratepayer with her name scrubbed from Cottesloe’s electoral roll.

Cottesloe MP Sandra Brewer has urged the State Government to introduce robust community consultation over likely high-rise development at Swanbourne train station.

An announcement is expected soon, after Cedar Woods was identified two years ago as the preferred developer of 1.8ha of railway reserve at Swanbourne.

"It will fundamentally change the village forever, so it is crucial that there be genuine community consultation," Ms Brewer said.

Nedlands commissioners have dumped former mayor Fiona Argyle’s proposed cockatoo mascot for the City.

“No business case was presented to outline the strategic purpose, beneficial implications of adopting an official mascot, no cost or resource analysis,” Commissioner David Caddy said.

“There was no consultation.”

The POST has discovered how easy it is to skirt regulations by tampering with an e-scooter’s speed limit.

Within days, the POST could have an e-scooter shipped to Perth and the speed limit unlocked to 105kmh within 10 minutes of arrival.

This same e-scooter was advertised to “navigate campus effortlessly and on time” and to “say goodbye to traffic jams and hello to freedom on wheels”.

A recent parliamentary inquiry has identified this tampering and unregulation as a major flaw in the industry that needs to be addressed for the sake of public safety.

Swanbourne resident Ian Satchwell has asked the Supreme Court to order Claremont council to close controversial cafe Side Piece Deli and declare its approval this year was unlawful.

A writ was issued to the council last month seeking to overturn Side Piece’s planning approval, a declaration that the current use was unlawful and an order for the cafe to stop operating.

Claremont has not taken any action and said it would be premature to comment on the matter.

Scathing criticism of the appearance, cost and destruction of Subiaco’s civic gardens has greeted plans for a replacement for the abandoned council chambers.

Residents and former Subiaco councillors have joined a chorus of complaint about a “vanity project” and “waste of money” proposed to recast the central city precinct.

The $64million price tag and the City’s claim it can pay for the project out of existing funds and without raising rates have surprised members of the community and some council insiders.

A 14-year-old-boy remains in hospital after a collision between his e-bike and a 4WD in Claremont on Saturday.

The gruesome incident came in the same week a parliamentary inquiry handed down its report into electric mobility devices, which have been linked to a spate of preventable deaths and serious injuries following their explosion in popularity.

A witness said the boy, who was wearing a helmet, was pinned underneath his bike and his ankle was trapped under the driver’s side front wheel.

Greater quenda numbers requires greater quenda responsibility, according to native wildlife experts.

As urban quenda numbers increase, people are being urged to check if any quendas killed by cars or cats have joeys inside their pouch.

Licensed reptile handler Tessa Esparon said she was called in to help when a dead female quenda with four live joeys was found on the side of the road.

“Please people stop and check if you see our wildlife hit by a car, we must try to help where we can,” she said.

This week's POST People is Trevor Lippiatt, Cottesloe’s go-to man for watch repairs.

The 79-year-old has been fixing watches since he was a young man honing the craft of watch repair at London’s Asprey watch shop on busy Bond Street.

After a spate of overseas jobs, he sailed to Perth with his wife Irene in 1974 and eventually established Tempus Fugit Antiques Jewellery which ran for 30 years until it closed last Friday.

After watching the watch industry for half a century, he believes he joined it at the right moment and has ended it at the right moment.

“I had the best of it, it was a marvellous trade to join, especially in the 60s and 70s when all the watches were good quality pieces,” he said.

“Most young people nowadays use their phones and don’t even wear a watch, and the older people wear these Apple watches that tell them when they will kick the bucket.”

More than a thousand local pedestrians and cyclists believe that the pathways crossing the Swan River into Fremantle are unsafe and have been overlooked by the state government ahead of its plans to demolish the old Fremantle Traffic Bridge.

A group of local cyclists handed a 1654-signature petition calling for better infrastructure to Upper House member Brad Pettitt Outside Parliament House on Tuesday.

Among them was Mosman Park Councillor Sarah Corbyn, who said the unsafe conditions of the current pathways are deterring riders.

The lack of assurances regarding community concerns over access and safety has become more pronounced before the bridge closes on February 1.

Dr Pettitt said it was still unclear how the government intended to accommodate the 24,000 daily cars that would be forced off the bridge.

Noise from a helicopter landing and taking off from the top of Gina Rinehart’s new offices would be drowned out by passing traffic, Perth City Councillors heard this week.

Mrs Rinehart, Australia’s richest woman, wants to add a helipad to already-approved plans for a new corporate base being built for her company Roy Hill at 53 Ord Street.

Subiaco and West Perth residents have objected overwhelmingly to the rooftop addition, with 29 of the 33 submissions worried about safety, noise levels and other factors.
