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.

A monster carp nearly a metre long and weighing 8kg was one of a shocking number of large pest fish scooped up by a professional electrofishing team in Galup.

“There are hundreds in here,” one worker said.

“It’s a huge mountain to climb to try to get rid of them.”

Rose fan Andrea Hawkes intends to be a thorn in the side of Subiaco council’s planned $64million redevelopment of its old council centre and the surrounding civic precinct.

She fears a secret change to its management order could foreshadow the permanent removal of the historic Rankin Gardens rose gardens and has started a petition to stop the project.

“Roses have been grown here since 1902 when Rankin Gardens was dedicated as public gardens,” she said.

“Now they just plan to rip them out.”

A group of Nedlands retirement village residents have been handed eviction notices by a property developer, two years after they were told they could stay for “many years”.

Human Urban sent the eviction notices in October to residents of four units at Hollywood Village in Monash Avenue, giving them until the middle of next year to find new homes.

“Everyone came into this village thinking this would be their last port of call,” one resident told the POST.

“Nobody is leaving voluntarily.”

Residents who spoke to the POST said they were struggling to find anywhere to live in an overheated rental market.

Thirty years ago the historic Sunset Hospital closed, and has sat mostly empty, occupying a prize Dalkeith site overlooking the Swan River.

Some of the series of large green buildings have had occasional tenants, but critics say this enormous community asset is going to waste, with no end in sight.

Despite legislation in 2014 to transform it into an arts and cultural centre, nothing has happened, says the Sunset Heritage Association.

Cambridge Library is enjoying a renaissance in its 60th year.

Mayor Gary Mack said one of the reasons people had started coming back to libraries was to feel connected to their community.

“These days, because so much is online, we don’t have that much interaction with others,” he said.

“Plus, in the library, they get free wifi and a photocopier as well.”
