Generation Green<br />
Food is a tasty essential that we <strong>of</strong>ten struggle to find time<br />
to stop <strong>and</strong> think about. To help answer some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> many<br />
questions out <strong>the</strong>re about how to get <strong>the</strong> best out <strong>of</strong> your diet,<br />
lifestyle <strong>and</strong> health, <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Stirling</strong> presents Generation<br />
Green: Cook, Create, Cultivate.<br />
The Generation Green program <strong>of</strong>fers residents opportunities to<br />
learn about food choices through Wholefood <strong>and</strong> Mindful Eating<br />
sessions at venues across <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong>. Registrations are essential for<br />
<strong>the</strong>se food talks <strong>and</strong> demonstrations.<br />
Several Journey <strong>of</strong> Food artist workshops will be held at shopping<br />
areas in Mirrabooka, Innaloo <strong>and</strong> at <strong>the</strong> <strong>Stirling</strong> Farmers’ Market,<br />
enabling residents to get creative by making an artwork from<br />
plastic bags. Please refer to <strong>the</strong> Generation Green program <strong>of</strong><br />
events for more details.<br />
Generation Green will also include a movie night, with a screening<br />
<strong>of</strong> Growing Change, an inspiring story about Venezuela’s response<br />
to <strong>the</strong> food crisis. The film shows how individuals can take back<br />
control <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir food, even in very poor, urban environments if <strong>the</strong><br />
government shows leadership. The movie night will be held on<br />
Wednesday 26 September from 6:30 pm in <strong>the</strong> reception hall <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Strategy</strong> (SEAS)<br />
Construction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> proposed multi-use community facility at Grenville Reserve in<br />

Detailed design <strong>of</strong> Stage 3 — <strong>the</strong> extension <strong>of</strong> Milldale Way to Sudbury Road —<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> strategy is under way, with expected completion by mid-2013. The <strong>City</strong> is<br />
working with <strong>the</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Transport to include an allowance for light rail in<br />
Stage 3 designs. This stage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> project will also result in <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> a fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />
two <strong>City</strong>-owned development lots. One lot has already been created as part <strong>of</strong><br />
Stage 2 <strong>and</strong> is awaiting services to enable this to be put on <strong>the</strong> market for sale.<br />

The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Stirling</strong> is encouraging people <strong>of</strong> all ages in <strong>the</strong> community<br />
to have a say on <strong>the</strong> proposed <strong>Skate</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>BMX</strong> <strong>Facility</strong> <strong>Strategy</strong>. The<br />
strategy will investigate current <strong>and</strong> future needs <strong>of</strong> skaters, <strong>BMX</strong><br />
riders, in-line skaters <strong>and</strong> scooter riders by reviewing potential sites<br />
<strong>and</strong> designs for <strong>the</strong>se types <strong>of</strong> facilities across <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong>.<br />
By taking a city-wide approach, <strong>the</strong> strategy will ensure that potential<br />
skate parks take shape in locations where <strong>the</strong>y provide a safe <strong>and</strong><br />
accessible venue for users, <strong>and</strong> meet <strong>the</strong> needs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> local community.<br />
The <strong>City</strong> is in <strong>the</strong> process <strong>of</strong> ga<strong>the</strong>ring thoughts <strong>and</strong> ideas from <strong>the</strong><br />

The Healthy Lifestyle Program at <strong>the</strong> Herb Graham Recreation Centre<br />
in Mirrabooka aims to improve <strong>the</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> life for Aboriginal people by<br />
helping prevent <strong>and</strong> manage chronic disease.<br />
Held each Wednesday, <strong>the</strong> program started earlier this year with Elders<br />
heading out on a gro<strong>up</strong> walk for some exercise <strong>and</strong> later finding out more<br />
about healthy food choices. Aboriginal people taking part have embraced <strong>the</strong><br />
program <strong>and</strong> since renamed it “Ngulluk”, which translates to “us mob” because<br />
gro<strong>up</strong> members regard <strong>the</strong> sessions as “me” or “our” time.<br />
The program <strong>of</strong>fers Aboriginal adults an opportunity to have a yarn over a<br />
healthy lunch <strong>and</strong> join in traditional Aboriginal games between 10.30am <strong>and</strong><br />
12.30pm each Wednesday. S<strong>up</strong>ported by <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Stirling</strong>, <strong>the</strong> Healthy<br />
Lifestyle Program is run by <strong>the</strong> North Metropolitan Public Health Unit in<br />
conjunction with <strong>the</strong> Nyoongar Sports Association <strong>and</strong> Derbal Yerrigan Health<br />
Service. Contact 9301 9220 for more details about <strong>the</strong> program.<br />
Request a<br />
Street Tree<br />
Trees are an important part <strong>of</strong> community<br />
health <strong>and</strong> wellbeing in urban environments.<br />
Trees improve air quality, reduce noise<br />
pollution <strong>and</strong> reduce <strong>the</strong> temperature<br />
by shading hard surfaces like roads <strong>and</strong><br />
pavements.<br />
With growing infill development, street trees<br />
form a vital part <strong>of</strong> our community by helping<br />
to <strong>of</strong>fset <strong>the</strong> loss <strong>of</strong> trees on private l<strong>and</strong>.<br />
The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Stirling</strong> currently has more than<br />
63,000 street trees <strong>and</strong> is looking to greatly<br />
improve on this number.<br />
We have recently finished planting all<br />
available street tree stock, but would like to<br />
encourage those interested in a street tree<br />
to make a request now so that <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong> can<br />
deliver <strong>the</strong>m next winter.<br />
If you would like to be considered for a<br />
street tree as part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong>’s annual tree<br />
planting program, please phone 9205 8555<br />
for more information.<br />

Local History<br />
Focus on…<br />
The Astor Theatre in Mount Lawley<br />
Located at <strong>the</strong> corner <strong>of</strong> Beaufort <strong>and</strong> Walcott streets in<br />
Mount Lawley, <strong>the</strong> venue originally opened as <strong>the</strong> Lyceum<br />
Theatre in 1919. It opened with a 300-seat balcony area<br />
<strong>and</strong> 760 seats in <strong>the</strong> stalls (ground level) section. Going<br />
to <strong>the</strong> cinema proved to be one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most popular forms<br />
<strong>of</strong> entertainment during <strong>the</strong> 1920s <strong>and</strong>, at one point, <strong>the</strong><br />
venue also had an outdoor garden cinema.<br />
The <strong>the</strong>atre became known as The State Theatre in 1930,<br />
<strong>and</strong> it was later renovated into <strong>the</strong> popular art deco style<br />
you see today in 1939. It was renamed The Astor Theatre<br />
in 1941.<br />
Heritage Award Win<br />

The Mount Lawley Society nominated <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong> for <strong>the</strong> award to acknowledge a<br />
formal Heritage Protection Area, which helps to preserve <strong>the</strong>se areas, <strong>and</strong> a<br />

interest, working with <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong> to provide advice to developers <strong>and</strong> contributing<br />
to processes like Town Planning reviews.<br />
