20.01.2022 West Australian - 25 Jul 2020 p28-29 - What price a fresh start : when a Lord Mayor and elected members finally return to the City of Perth in October 2020, the administration will look nothing like the one that existed when the council was turfed out ... under the three McGowan Labor Government appointed commissioners, about 370 employees have left the city payroll (the equivalent of half its workforce) - some people might see that as quite a purge, but the financial cost to ratepayers (and residents), and the human cost to workers, remains hidden ... the chief executive officer and five directors from former lord mayor Lisa Scaffidi's time (2007-18) have all gone, some sent packing, some who just saw the writing on the wall (if not the pages of the Inquiry).

13.01.2022 Albany Advertiser - 31 Oct 2019 p7 - New centre to add to Old Farm's appeal,

13.01.2022 Nichola Smith - 12 Nov 2020 - The Old Farm is located on Strawberry Hill in the suburb of Mira Mar in Albany. It is known as being the first farm in Western Australia. The hill on which the property is situated rises to a height of 237 feet (72m), and is a spur of Mt Clarence. The soil is a mixture of clay and gravel with rich black loam on the lower side. The farm was initially established in 1827 as a government farm when the first Europeans settled at King George Sound. Ma...jor Edmund Lockyer, Alexander Collie and John Lawrence Morley selected the site as a government farm. Originally, it occupied an area of 1,536 acres (622 hectares), but only 6 acres (2 ha) remain today. The next three commandants of the settlement, Captain Wakefield, Lieutenant Sleeman and Captain Collet Barker, followed Lockyer's plan of continuing to develop the farm. Alexander Collie was appointed government resident of the Town of Albany in 1831, and moved into a wattle and daub cottage situated on the farm. He named the property Strawberry Hill after the small plot of strawberries he was cultivating. Collie retired in 1832 and his successor was D.H. Macleod, but it was the farm superintendent John Lawrence Morley who handed the property onto Richard Spencer. Pictured : Circa 1927.
