Open Plains Zoo for Perth???
20-01-2008
Going to University of WA next week to hear our Minister for Planning speak about her visions for Perth in the coming years. I will ask her if there is any chance we can have an open plains zoo to give our elephants and big cats more room. It is so depressing seeing our animals like this.

OK managed to talk to the Minister the other night and asked if we could have an open range zoo at some stage. She seemed really interested in the idea (please let it be so). Werribee is sending her an information package - so fingers crossed the seed has been planted. There are so many projects underway over here and she is all about diversity and making Perth more interesting and appealing (not so dullsville).

You know what really surprised me? The Minister did not seem aware of such zoos? I told her about Werribee but I could see she was trying to imagine it. If anyone can get this launched - she can!

Maybe you should ask her if she is interested in visiting some open range zoos herself

I have emailed Werribee with her address and they are going to send a full info package to her. Our government is full steam ahead to lift the profile of Perth and we have the money due to the mining boom up north. She has great imagination and I have a good feeling about things for our animals. AS far as visiting - anything is possible.

Isn't the current restriction on hoofstock importation going to make any new open-range zoo a pretty limited affair? There would be plenty of room for elephants and big cats, but this kind of setting, especially with Perth's brilliant climate, would just seem empty to me without large herds of ungulates.
