Former City of Nedlands mayor Cilla De Lacy has put her hat in the ring as an independent for the seat of Nedlands, in a move inspired by – but separate of – the national Teal movement.
The state government has handed over 5,000 square-metres of Crown land in Swanbourne to facilitate the development of a $25 million children's hospice.
The race to replace Cilla De Lacy as mayor of Nedlands is on, with the city's deputy mayor, a former state election candidate and a Dalkeith-based councillor in the running for the city's top job.
Some members of the Nedlands community have expressed their disappointment over the recent approval of a $320 million apartment development along Stirling Highway.
Grange Development Consulting has unveiled plans to transform a site on Stirling Highway into an 80-apartment project, the group's second proposal on the highway following its controversial application for the Chellingworth Motors site in Nedlands.
