Transition Town Guildford

Transition Town Guildford Cultivating a strongly connected community and a healthy environment in Guildford and surrounds.

Transition Initiatives are an emerging and evolving approach to community-level sustainability, which began in England in 2005 and has rapidly spread around the world since then. Transition Initiatives are based on four key assumptions:
1) That life with drastically lower energy consumption is inevitable, and that it’s better to plan for it than to be taken by surprise.

2) That our settlements an

d communities presently lack the resilience to enable them to weather the severe energy shocks that will accompany peak oil.

3) That we have to act collectively, and we have to act now.

4) That by unleashing the collective genius of those around us to creatively and proactively design our energy descent, we can build ways of living that are more connected, more enriching and that recognise the biological limits of our planet.

People will probably know this significant tree near the Guildford Primary School. An application has been made to the City of Swan to remove it, despite being hundreds of years old. We strongly encourage everyone to make a submission: https://swanengage.swan.wa.gov.au/da-12982025-single-house-and-removal-auction-tree

There is an application with the City of Swan to remove the historic Old Auction Tree, a majestic flooded gum (Eucalyptus rudis) located at the corner of Helena and Stephen Streets, on the south-west boundary of 112B (Lot 15) Helena Street.

Standing approximately 22 metres tall with a girth of 6.77 metres, this tree is a significant landmark in our community.

The tree is believed to have been a Noongar gathering tree. Guildford is considered an important place for Noongar people containing many spiritual and camp sites. The Helena River was a moort bidi, being a main run for Noongar people going to and from Guildford where coroborrees were performed.

The tree is also believed to have been associated with the operations of the Guildford Sale Yards in the late 19th century, where well-known stock agent and auctioneer James Morrison conducted livestock auctions under its canopy, leading to its nickname, the “Old Auction Tree.”

Flooded gums provide essential habitats for many bird species including black cockatoos.

The deadline for comment is August 12.
