Western suburb councils are bracing for a rise in costs to fight the polyphagous shot hole borer after the State Government said in November it would no longer pay for newly infected trees to be removed.

The Town of Claremont has identified 250 public street or park trees infested with the borer that require removal and a further 123 that need pruning and maintenance.

A prominent borer hotzone flagged by staff was Lake Claremont, with outstanding cases identified dating back to 2023.

“The response from DPIRD has been woefully inadequate and arguably negligent,” Friends of Lake Claremont's (FOLC) Nick Cook said.

“We urge council to consider expansion of chemical treatments across the Town.”

“I am informed that the current chemical treatment on our ancient paperbark at Lake Claremont is showing promising results.

Floorball fans are bewildered that their offer to pour $2.2million into a community asset has been met with another frosty reception from Cambridge council.

The company Floorball Revolution has offered to pay for two covered floorball courts and a new bowling green at Cambridge Bowling Club in Floreat.

Despite public support for the plan, staff recommended the sub-lease be rejected, and Mayor Gary Mack spoke vehemently against it.

A City Beach mining magnate shoved and grabbed a POST reporter outside Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday, minutes after tendering a character reference from former Premier Mark McGowan.

But the reference didn't help Gold Valley Group chairman Yuzheng Xie and his companies, which were fined a record $2.34million for building iron ore depots on Crown land without the state's permission.

Western suburb kids with disabilities are spending up to 90 minutes getting to school each morning because of a school bus funding shortage.

Shenton Park’s Sienna Myers, 12, is one of a group of western suburbs children with complex disabilities who are facing the prospect of spending hours on buses each day next year.

“They’re not getting great educational outcomes,” said Sienna’s mum Natalie Myers.

“They’re arriving highly dysregulated, and they need a huge amount of time to calm down when they get to school.

“Then at the end of the day they’re anxious, knowing that they have to get on the bus again.”

Illegal camping in Cambridge is increasing as summer heats up.

Locals have become used to seeing illegal campers at City Beach and Floreat, but now homeless camps are springing up in other parts of the Town.

Local resident Gill Kenny said she was shocked to see a woman camping at Herdsman Lake.

“We’re so used to homelessness now that a woman living in a tent in the bush barely registers as shocking,” she said.

“But it bloody well should be shocking.

“It should gut us. It should keep us awake at night.”

This week’s POST People is Subiaco woman Edna Addai, a Clinical mental health specialist changing the way WA treats young people’s mental health.

She said it was “heartbreaking” to work with young people who would rather stay in hospital or prison than be out in the community where they knew they would receive no support for their mental health issues.

“I decided to work on a more preventative approach, to stop people from getting to that crisis stage,” she said.

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.
