Along Western Australia's coastline, water levels are noticeably rising due to global warming caused by Green House Gas Emissions which in turn are being generated by expanding global economies which additionally are extinguishing human, animal and vegetation life of the planet (www.cosmosmagazine.com Issue 12 Dec 2006/Jan 2007; pp48-59).This is causing horrors and tragedies to all human and other life of our planet. These disasters will worsen if human populations continue to expand. All cultures have the abilities to reduce over-population of the planet. This can be achieved in agreement with the holy writings of antiquity. Initiating of the trading or taxing of Green House Gas Emissions within Australia would represent the first step in salvaging a future for our children. Such a serious topic should never be used as a political toy in any nation. Although, Australia's contribution to gaseous emissions is relatively trivial in global terms, Australia's reputation for innovation and example would be further magnified on the World stage if a national scheme were to be adopted. This would give our children a hope to enjoy their future. The accelerating extermination of life on our planet is an un-precedented moral issue that is a manifestation of the un-precedented numbers of people that have never yet before been in occupation of the planet. Such an issue should be multi-laterally re-solved by all of humanity in collusion with its leaders in commerce, science, politics, religions and cultures. |

Following two years of unrestricted public scrutiny and comment, this Park's accreditation to operate under relevant Acts and Regulations was published in the Western Australian Government Gazette: (12.05.1995 - pp 1805 - 1806). Obviously, such accreditations are robust if compared with other accreditation schemes of tourism and caravan industry organisations. This homely Caravan Park is operated on private land, owned by the operator. This Caravan Park is not operated on Crown Land. Consequently, this Caravan Park is subject to the W.A. Caravan Parks and Camping Grounds Act (1995) and other relevant Acts and their Regulations. The relevant Acts and Regulations assure patrons of such a caravan park of its compliance with standards of health, safety, security, amenity and service. In order to uphold such standards, intrusive activities that can potentially impact on patrons and wildlife such as out of season camp fires, loud music, trail-bike riding, electricity generation, offensive behaviour and the like are certainly prohibited. |
