FROM THE FREMANTLE SOCIETY COMMITTEE

We had a lively committee meeting on May 18, 2015 and one of the subjects raised was the announced sale by State Government of Fremantle Port. Committee decided to contact the City of Fremantle to get more information and we have since had a meeting with acting Mayor Josh Wilson, so stay tuned. Our Planning & Heritage subcommittee will be revitalised with new members and a roster to attend and monitor full council and council committee meetings. This will result in more submissions to council, addressing council and committees and making sure we are on the ball and know all about future development and plans for our city.

We noted with regret that the Minister for Lands has approved the use of the Arthur Head – A Class reserve at J Shed for the development of the Sunset Events tavern and live music venue, but will oppose this in a submission to the Director of Liquor Licensing, when the application for a license is made.

FS will donate a total of $ 500.00 to the RESTORE NEPAL fundraising concert on June 13 at the Fremantle Sailing Club, that includes the hire of the PA system for the music.

The Kings Square development and financial plans are an ongoing concern that FS has been monitoring for some three years. Committee decided it would be futile to go through a Freedom of Information process as financial and perceived confidential matters would be blackened out anyway.

We are collaborating with Notre Dame University on how to better engage younger generation in local government and are planning to do a public forum the students will organise and run.

FS also wants to run a soapbox kind of public events in pubs and other venues where topics relevant and important to the Fremantle community would be discussed.

Vice President
