"A forgotten suburb where residents are ignored."
This is not a place for residential peace and quiet. The flour mill is allowed to operate 24 hours a day , 7 days a week. Large trucks start arriving at 4.30am until 9pm at night. In summer forklifts operate throughout the night. Windows can not be opened because of noise and flour dust. Huge trucks entering and leaving the harbour congest the roads and are dangerous to cars, cyclists and pedestrians. While trying to cross Stirling Highway, I was nearly blown onto the road by a speeding truck. It is a pity that the natural beauty has been invaded by industrial operations. The 'buzz' word at the moment by Fremantle council is building "affordable housing." This means it is for people who have no other choice and therefore must accept second best. Think twice before moving here because as a resident you have no rights for peace and cleanliness.

"Quiet on Sundays and has the potential to be a family area but the mill prevents this because of the constant noise and operations. There is a wonderful sea breeze but you can't open doors and windows because of the noise and dust."
24 hour Flour Mill (motors and fork lifts) noise from Mondays at 4.00am. Trucks start arriving at 5.00 am. No parking is allowed around the mill so that the large trucks can enter and leave the mill. Houses become very dusty quickly from the mill's flour dust.
