Perth Dog Beach remains closed for hazardous clean up
Hillarys Dog Beach remains closed to the public after debris potentially containing asbestos was uncovered along the shoreline. The City of Joondalup closed access to the affected beach area on August 8 after erosion caused by wild weather exposed hazardous building materials. It's believed the debris comes from old beach shacks that once lined the coastline from Whitfords Beach to Pinnaroo Point between the 1950s and 1970s, which were made from asbestos sheeting and corrugated iron. Joondalup mayor Albert Jacob said the city would be able to provide a reopening timeframe once the hazard removal works that are now under way are complete. 'Works have commenced on the removal of hazards caused by recent storm activity, and a qualified asbestos removal contractor is present to safely manage and remove any asbestos-containing material (ACM) found during this process,' Mr Jacob said. 'The city is progressing an asbestos in soils investigation (ASBINS) to determine the extent of ACM in the dunes and develop a long-term remediation and management plan. This work was already underway prior to the closure of the beach as part of the city's ACM ongoing site management plan. 'The city appreciates the public's understanding and co-operation as we work to restore the area.' The beach shacks that once lined the coastline are believed to be the source of the debris.

Steep embankments caused by erosion have also formed across much of the dog beach area, increasing the risk to public safety. Mr Jacob said the city was also taking steps to address erosion challenges along the beach. 'To address long-term erosion issues, the city will engage an external contractor to undertake an assessment that will examine historical metocean data and beach conditions to inform medium to long-term protection and remedial actions,' he said. While the beach is closed, the city is encouraging dog owners to exercise their pets at the city's other dog-friendly parks, including the fenced exercise area at Elcar Park, Joondalup.

Shaun White and Nina Dobrev are 'are having fun with wedding planning'
Shaun White and Nina Dobrev are "excited" to plan their wedding. The loved-up couple got engaged in 2024, and they've recently relished the experience of planning their wedding together. Shaun, 38, told People: "It's very exciting to have new aspirations and new things that we're going after and together. It's very humbling and very exciting, and she's excited. "We've gotten a lot of advice from different people who have planned their own weddings and things. So we're definitely gathering information and now trying to see what's going to work best for us in any way." Shaun has actually had "fun" planning their big day, and their "next chapter" as a couple. The former Olympian shared: "It's like you took that next step and yeah, it's just a fun sort of planning phase of life. "Like, 'What's the next steps, and the next chapter and where do we want to be?' It's fun. It's fun to have somebody to plan all that with." The celebrity duo are currently on the lookout for a wedding planner, to help them with their preparations for their big day. Shaun hopes that the planner can ultimately "bring [their] ideas to life". The retired sports star said: "We're still just looking for a planner to plan the wedding. "I'm not capable of this and luckily, like, I want to be involved, but logistically I'm not, it's not my strong suit. So I think visually I'm getting involved with what I want, but we're still looking for someone to help bring our ideas to life." Nina and Shaun began dating in 2020, and the couple announced their engagement in October 2024. Nina previously revealed to Vogue magazine that they got engaged in New York City in late October. Recalling Shaun's proposal, the 36-year-old actress confessed: "I went into shock. I just froze and stared at him." Shaun - who is a three-time Olympic gold medallist in half-pipe snowboarding - popped the question with a five carat diamond ring. Shaun actually managed to catch his fiancee by surprise. Nina - who previously dated Ian Somerhalder, her former 'Vampire Diaries' co-star - recalled: "He said all the right things."
