To better understand what is means to be ‘a local’ our suburb profile seeks to understand the local stories Koora (past) Boordawan (future) and respond to Ngalang Maya (our place) This snapshot identifies the unique character of Nollamara’s neighbourhood and helps the City rethink how we deliver services with a local focus A significant landmark in Nollamara is the water tower which is located next to Mount Yokine reservoir "Nollamara" is an Aboriginal word for the plant more commonly known as the black kangaroo paw Parts of the area now called Nollamara were originally granted separately to William Knight in 1841 and Mary Hutton in March 1844 Development in Nollamara did not commence in earnest until the late 1940s land in the southern sector of Nollamara was used mainly for market gardens and poultry farms The State Housing Commission (now Department for Housing and Works) resumed construction in the area in 1950 as part of the Mirrabooka satellite city project The suburb was named in 1954 and more than 2,500 homes had been built in Nollamara by 1969 Crafternoons - Stirling Community Centres - Nollamara These are the top local priorities you've told us about what's important for Nollamara:  Affordable housing - “More housing options - think Terrace houses on green title-like in other areas so we don't have to move out of the suburb.” Street lights - “Better lighting in streets More regular patrols around the shopping centre by the Stirling security team in evening.” Parks and reserves - “More council investment into community public spaces and parks." Crime prevention - "Security- residential security for crime more patrolling to deter unwanted activities." As a mobility aid user walking anywhere is difficult and dangerous The City has created Locally-led Stirling to drive deeper connection at a local suburb level to listen and respond with a local focus At the heart of this Locally-led approach is an understanding that local people know what they need and a vision for everyone to get involved in shaping what it means to be “a local” Residential development in Nollamara is generally characterised by single detached dwellings on small- to medium-sized lots Construction styles vary from timber-framed character houses dating from the 1950s to modern brick and tile dwellings Property values in Nollamara have been on the increase for some years now and redevelopment is occurring with many of the older homes being replaced by units and duplex developments This has resulted in the reduced dominance of Department for Housing and Works properties Nollamara has a good range of public recreation areas with several reserves offering a range of active and passive recreational opportunities two community open spaces and one district open space The Nollamara Shopping Centre is centrally located and provides for local daily needs Three primary schools are also located in Nollamara Des Penman Reserve is the largest and most developed park within Nollamara The reserve is centrally located and offers a wide range of facilities including a community recreational centre and facilities for lawn bowls and tennis The reserve recently underwent a refurbishment of the pavilion which included a mural For more information on Des Penman Reserve, click here. Significant landmarks in Nollamara include the water tower located adjacent to the Mount Yokine reservoir. The water tower is visible from throughout the suburb and elsewhere in the region.  City of Stirling kaadatj Nyoongar moort Nyoongar boodja-k Wadjak boodja-k Ngalak kaadatj Nyoongar nedingar wer birdiya koora koora wer yeyi malayin wer nakolak baalap yang ngalany-al Ngalak dandjoo barn wer kaaratj bandang boodja-k The City of Stirling acknowledges the traditional custodians of this land and pays respect to the Elders both past and present for they hold the memories the culture and hopes of Aboriginal Australia Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time An RSL WA board member has laid bare what unfolded during a police-backed search of the Nollamara premises it seized from the Veterans Motorcycle Club Taking the witness stand in the WA Supreme Court on Monday RSL board member Trent Mongan told the court Police Minister Paul Papalia and federal Defence Minister Matt Keogh were among those called before the club was evicted from the Sylvia Street property on February 6 Mongan told the court he arrived flanked by locksmiths and police a move he said was aimed at distancing the league from anything “unfavourable” it feared may be found after tasking officers with conducting an occupier’s search The police attendance was not part of any criminal investigation into the club The court heard the search recovered 35 rounds of live and dummy ammunition magazine clips and boxes of pharmaceuticals some of which had been imported from overseas But RSL WA’s lawyer Tom Porter claimed that within five weeks the VMC had removed the locks and refused to vacate the premises prompting the league to take the matter to the Supreme Court The eviction came after the RSL board resolved to sever ties with club, repossess the premises and disband the Nollamara sub-branch over allegations it was being run like a bikie clubhouse with skimpy barmaids The VMC — which shared members with the sub-branch and had been occupying a building on the site for almost three decades — denied the allegations firing back with a counterclaim against the league The Sylvia Street premises is situated on Crown land granted to the RSL on the condition it is used as a meeting place for the organisation’s members At the centre of the case is whether the agreement reached between the Nollamara sub-branch and the VMC in 1996 for the construction of a clubhouse constituted a formal lease Porter told the court there was no evidence of a formal lease and the VMC’s occupation now constituted trespass The RSL has sought an urgent injunction requiring the motorcycle club and its members to vacate the premises The VMC’s lawyer Stephen Hicks argued the parties inked a periodic lease in 1996 it was adamant remained in force telling the court the club had paid $300 quarterly in peppercorn rent Hicks stated the documents indicated the agreement could only be terminated at the election of his client and the RSL’s changing of the locks breached that deal spearheading a counterclaim seeking a declaration that VMC could remain in the property until 2046 “The VMC spent money making a home at the clubhouse installing memorabilia and trophies and building relationships in the community that cannot be replicated elsewhere,” Hicks said “The club stands to lose the benefit of funds it raised performed labour … and gave up the opportunity to invest in a clubhouse elsewhere “The plaintiff does not come to this court with clean hands There is no law that permits the owner of land to take the personal property of a tenant.” RSL WA president Duncan Anderson is expected to take the witness stand on Tuesday Start the day with a summary of the day’s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights.

The state\\u2019s Returned Services League has staunchly defended its ousting of the Nollamara sub-branch and Veterans Motorcycle Club, maintaining allegations of bikie links and sub-branch members soliciting prostitutes justified the eviction now at the centre of a lawsuit. RSL WA president Duncan Anderson took the stand in the Supreme Court on Tuesday, the second day of a three-day trial over the VMC\\u2019s refusal to vacate the Sylvia Street premises it shared with the sub-branch for three decades.

The court was told VMC members forcibly gained access to the site several weeks later, which the league claims amounted to trespass because their permission to be on the property was conditional on the RSL operating.

The RSL took the matter to court in May 2024 seeking an urgent injunction requiring the motorcycle club and its members to vacate the premises.

On the stand, the VMC\\u2019s president of almost 30 years John Lewis pored over documents from the construction of the clubhouse in the mid-1990s. The Vietnam veteran, who served in the 3rd Battalion, said the $7000 worth of construction materials were bankrolled by fundraising efforts and the bulk of the labour was donated by more than half a dozen members. Lewis told the court the clubhouse was built after the Nollamara sub-branch agreed the VMC would have \\u201Cexclusive and unhindered access\\u201D under a peppercorn lease, which required the club to hold four minor functions annually.

sub-branch has been shut down over allegations it was breaching its code of conduct by being run like a bikie clubhouse The Nollamara sub-branch is located next door to the Veterans Motorcycle Club which has previously associated with outlaw gangs RSL WA president Duncan Anderson told Radio 6PR the Nollamara branch was abruptly shut down last week after the board investigated two anonymous complaints about activities at the venue “We made a decision because of what we felt was a serious breach of our charter and our rules and it quite frankly doesn’t meet the expectations of our community either.” which is owned by RSL WA and situated on Crown land did not have permission under the Liquor Licensing Act to provide adult entertainment but if [skimpies are] advertised on a

the VMC as well,” he said “My personal view is you’d find it difficult to see them operating there in the future.” Anderson said a number of RSL members were disappointed the branch had closed so abruptly but it was still possible the venue would be reopened in the future “If and when the sub-branch is reestablished there’s a building there ready to go on a premise ready to go in a community

Footage shows the moment the ute driver carefully pulled into a car park outside the centre before the elderly male driver allegedly mistook the accelerator pedal for the brake and crashed into the clinic. The quick moving car drove over a safety bollard - placed in front of the car park following a similar incident - and struck a pregnant woman entering the clinic before landing in reception. The expectant mother, aged in her 20s, was walking towards the entrance of the building to have her eight-week scan when the car hit her and she was thrown over the bonnet. She landed in a nearby garden bed and was helped to her car, where she was taken to Royal Perth Hospital for treatment. It is understood she was discharged later that night.  Another woman was taken by ambulance to the hospital after she was hit by the car. She was not injured but was treated for shock. Ahmed Baydoun, a security guard at the centre, told Nine News that the incident was the second time a car had crashed into the centre.  'I've actually seen it happen before,' he said.   'Lucky for us the chairs got stuck in the wheels so it stopped the car from moving forward, My Baydoun told The West Australian. 'It was mayhem, there were people screaming.' 'Someone drove through the building before, it's happened twice.' The centre claims the safety bollard was placed in front of the carpark following the first incident but footage shows it did little to stop the ute.  The elderly driver was questioned at the scene of the crash but police did not lay any charges.

Link copiedShareShare articlePolice are not treating the death of a 53-year-old man in a housefire in Nollamara as suspicious at this stage. It is believed the man's clothes caught fire when he was cooking dinner last night. Three other people inside the house at the time heard his screams, put him in the shower and escaped the burning house. His body was later found inside the shower. Police say the group had been drinking and there was confusion over whether the 53-year-old had managed to get out of the house. Detective David Gorton says the Arson Squad's investigation will continue through the week. "It's not necessarily an unusual occurance," he said. "We're gonna get more information back from the post mortem and the analysis of the exhibits seized through the premises so while it's a little bit unusual it's perhaps not suspicious at this point in time."

Mr Milner's friends remembered his great sense of humour and personality 'Life moves on but memories don't, and my greatest memory is having you as a best friend,' one close friend told The West Australian. 'Your warmth and sense of humour lit up any room, and I know you'll continue to light up heaven and watch down on us and your beautiful wife Monique.' Western Australian premier Roger Cook shared his sympathies. 'It's dreadful, any death in the workplace is tragic and we want to ensure that any unavoidable death is accounted for and make sure we learn from those experiences,' he said. 'The energy safety regulator will obviously undertake an investigation into this, West Australians reach out to that family today.' An investigation into Mr Milner's death has been launched by Western Australia's Energy Safety regulator. Energy Safety director Saj Abdoolakha has urged people to ensure the power is turned off at the main switch before entering a roof space. 'Our focus is on determining how this tragedy occurred and whether electricity was a factor,' Western Australia's Energy Safety director Saj Abdoolakha said. 'While we continue this work, I urge everyone to ensure the power is turned off at the main switch before entering a roof space. 'This is required by law for any worker entering the roof space of a home due to the potential electrical hazards.'
