  The Department of Agriculture and Food is urging home gardeners to do their bit to help stop the spread of the tomato potato psyllid, a destructive insect pest which has been discovered in Western Australia.

  The psyllid feeds on a range of plants, including potato, tomato, eggplant, capsicum, chilli, tamarillo and sweet potato. Many of these vegetables are widely grown in backyard plots.

  The tomato potato psyllid was first detected in Perth in February and has since been found on more than 60 properties, including commercial horticulture properties and home gardens. The majority of detections have been in the metropolitan area, with a small number confirmed in regional areas.

  CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.
  

  Street signage is being upgraded across the City over the next 6 months. This program is undertaken as part of the City’s maintenance programs to improve the visibility of the signage as well as providing consistency in design standards.

  Areas of Mt Claremont are a focus as there is still signage that was installed by the Developer which has either faded or sustained damage making it difficult to see and read.

  
  

  The program of works is as follows:

  • Floreat: Completed
  • Mt Claremont (Between Stephenson and Mooro Drive): Currently underway
  • Mt Claremont (Between Mooro Drive and Alfred Road/Brockway): May 2017
  • Mt Claremont (Between Cottesloe Golf Course and Mooro Avenue): June 2017
  • Mt Claremont (St Peter’s Square): July 2017

  
  

  During the upgrade process, there will be some instances due to visibility issues where existing poles may need to be relocated or replaced. However in most circumstances the only change will be the replacement of the sign blade itself.

  
  

  The street sign blade will look like:
