Scarborough Beach takeover: City of Stirling warns residents as Aussie crime show is set to film on Monday
Filming for a new Australian crime drama, produced by Warner Bros International, will hit the iconic beach on Monday.
Traffic and pedestrian control will be in place from 7.00am – 6.45pm along The Esplanade, the Scarborough Amphitheatre and surrounding footpaths.
The upcoming series, which has only been given the working title LAM, is centred around the intense psychological toll of life on the run.
With the show's crime genre, it is little surprise that council warnings have been put in place alerting locals that actors and vehicles will be donned in WA Police attire.
'All action that takes place while filming is fictional and at no risk to the public,' the City of Stirling wrote in their statement.
'The Australian film industry relies on the assistance of the local community when filming on locations and the City of Stirling supports this production.'
The filming will not restrict access to any businesses or residential properties in the Scarborough area.
This will be conducted by a traffic management company approved by the City of Stirling.
Footpaths in the area will remain open to the public, however pedestrians may be asked to wait for a few minutes if filming is ongoing.
An additional two days of filming will also occur at a private property in the Stirling area later in the week, with essential equipment vehicles to be parked along the Esplanade.
The City of Stirling says the private property filming will have no effect on pedestrian and vehicular access in the area.
This is not the crime show's first time filming in Perth - the town of Bassendean issued a similar warning to residents after the show spent Thursday morning taping on Old Perth Road.

Alan Jones' former conservative home still waiting for Newsmax relaunch
Loading To us, that is a sad moment for Australian media. ADH TV provided a welcome home for so many of the right's has-beens: former Australian Christian Lobby boss Lyle Shelton, arch-monarchist David Flint, twice-rehabilitated News Corp broadcaster Chris Smith and Jacinta Price's husband, for some reason. Where would we be without them? Red scare Brace yourselves. The Russians are coming for the High Court of Australia. Last week, the country's top court heard an appeal by the Russian Federation against laws to effectively cancel a lease on its new Canberra embassy on national security grounds. Russia claimed the lease cancellation by the Albanese government was 'Russophobic hysteria', and quickly retained the $25,000-a-day services of Australia's foremost High Court winner Bret Walker SC, who led a challenge to the laws' constitutional validity. The day after that hearing, the court announced it would consider another high-profile case, this time brought by billionaire Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. An industrialist with a stake in an alumina refinery in Gladstone and ties to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, Deripaska was sanctioned by the Morrison government following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The designation stopped him from travelling to Australia or profiting from his company's share in the Gladstone refinery. Loading Deripaska has been fighting those sanctions since, arguing they are constitutionally invalid because they stop him travelling to Australia to challenge them. Last week, the High Court granted Deripaska special leave to appeal a March decision of the Full Federal Court rejecting his argument. The sanctions against Deripaska, which aligns with similar decisions made by the United States, United Kingdom and European Union following the Ukraine invasion, were implemented by former foreign minister Marise Payne. At the centre of the oligarch's legal challenge is one of Payne's old cabinet comrades, former attorney-general Christian Porter, who quit parliament in 2022 after using anonymous donors to fund an aborted defamation case against the ABC after the public broadcaster reported a historic rape allegation against him (which the ex-minister has always denied). Porter, as CBD regulars would recall, has returned to the Perth bar with gusto, where he's acted in a series of high-profile cases. His reinvention has brought him into the orbit of Deripaska, who he is now representing, and paved the way for a dramatic return to Canberra.

Numb! 2000s rockers snub Perth in long-awaited return to Aus
Re-emerging rockers Linkin Park have left Perth off their limited 2026 Aussie tour schedule in a blow to long-time local fans. The In the End hitmakers announced Australian tour dates for their From Zero World Tour on Monday, with the band's first national shows since 2013 set to land in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney in early March next year. Their most recent WA performance was at the now-defunct Soundwave Festival in February 2013, lining up alongside rock stalwarts Metallica, Blink-182, Paramore, and The Offspring. Local fans have expressed their disappointment at being snubbed in favour of East Coast tour dates, pleading with tour agent Live Nation to expand the group's schedule. 'Ffs seriously? Perth misses out again,' one frustrated fan said. Another commented, 'I live in Brisbane but honestly Perth needs some love. Can we petition for these bands to bless the west coast? ✍🏼' 'Whyyyyyyy aren't they coming to Perth…,' another added. Linkin Park has not included Perth in its plans to tour Australian in 2026. Credit: Live Nation Linkin Park rose to global fame in the late 90s and early 2000s as pioneers of the alternative rock genre, recognised for fusing rap, nu metal, pop rock, and electronic rock. In May this year, the five-piece band released the Deluxe Edition of their From Zero album, equipped with their latest single Let You Fade. However, one notable difference to their line-up in Australia next year will be the addition of co-lead vocalist Emily Armstrong. Replacing late singer and front man Chester Bennington, who died of suicide in 2017, Armstrong controversially formed part of the group's re-emergence in September 2024 following a seven-year hiatus. Alongside Armstrong, the band now consists of co-vocalist, keyboardist and guitarist Mike Shinoda, lead guitarist Brad Delson, DJ Joe Hahn, bassist Dave Farrell, and drummer Colin Brittain. Chester Bennington died by suicide in 2017. Credit: BANG - Entertainment News PerthNow has reached out to Live Nation for further comment on Linkin Park's Australian tour schedule.

Hermes handbags, multiple properties and a $24,000 Rolex: Alleged ‘unexplained wealth' of woman charged with foreign interference
Hard cash, Hermes handbags, multiple properties and a receipt for a Rolex watch worth $24,000 are among the 'unexplained wealth' of a woman who has been charged with reckless foreign interference, court documents allege. The Australian Federal Police (AFP) charged the Chinese national – who is also an Australian permanent resident – last week after search warrants were carried out at Canberra residences. She has been remanded in custody after being denied bail by the ACT Supreme Court. Police allege she was tasked by China's Public Security Bureau with spying on an Australian-based Buddhist group Guan Yin Citta. Court documents released on Monday and originally reported by the ABC and the Australian included a list of items allegedly found in her home, among them at least six Hermes bags, with a receipt showing one of them had cost $30,000, and further handbag boxes which police claimed were 'too numerous' to count. Police claimed they found about $5000 in $100 bills and the receipt for a Rolex. The statement to the court also alleged the woman wholly or partly owned multiple properties and vehicles. They also reportedly found goods from other luxury brands, including Burberry, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton. Redacted lines did not reveal all the items allegedly found but referred to a receipt for one item worth $400,000, the Australian reported. Police alleged in the reported documents that the woman had been paid more than $230,223 by the People's Republic of China since 2017. The documents claimed the woman – who came to Australia on a higher education visa – had travelled to China, where she had family and held an active passport, on 'several occasions in the past several years'. She allegedly travelled to a region, Jindong, where she received 'taskings' from a spy handler.
