Friday 24th February 2017
A McGowan Labor Government will commit to supporting the vital work of the Friends of the Brixton Street Wetlands.
Located in the heart of Kenwick, the Brixton Street Wetlands is a sanctuary for local fauna and flora. Year round, the bush and wetlands are protected and replenished by a number of dedicated volunteers who make up the Friends of Brixton Street Wetlands group.
Comments by WA Labor’s candidate for Forrestfield Stephen Price:
“Volunteer groups like the Friends of Brixton Street Wetlands are at the heart of our community and central to the protection of our natural wildlife and bushlands…I have had the pleasure to attend a number of events organised by the Friendship group at the wetlands including a morning where we replanted a section of bush.”

Glimpses of Sustainability in Perth, Western Australia
News
Abstract
Community-based activism has proven to be one of the most effective ways of addressing social and environmental injustice, the root causes of unsustainability.
Today, millions of sustainability activist groups (SAGs) are actively engaged in various social and environmental initiatives around the world. To date, however, there have been few photographic narratives from SAGs depicting adaptive capacity—the ability to maintain various assets underchanging circumstances in order to fulfill desired objectives.
This paper responds to this gap and offers a glimpse of one of the longest running activist initiatives in Perth, the state capital of Western Australia.
