DFES Deputy Commissioner Melissa Pexton has responded to criticism from business owners in Kalbarri over delays to repairs in the North West tourist town, 18 months after Cyclone Seroja hit the town.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kalbarri is still struggling from the effects of Cyclone Seroja that hit the popular tourist town 18 months ago. Iconic bird park Rainbow Jungle remains closed, as does several popular restaurants and cafes, 14 businesses in total. Kalbarri Seafood Restaurant owner Melissa Finlay told Michael Genovese on 6PR Breakfast the town still needs the state government to approve funding to build emergency accommodation so that workers can rebuild things. "From Seroja there was 70 per cent of properties damaged and it's a long haul to get it all fixed up," she said. She says workers have to leave town during school holidays because there is not enough room to house them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been more than ten months since Cyclone Seroja hit Western Australia's Mid West. There was lots of damage to farms and the clean up continues. But as farmers start to look at replacing damaged houses, sheds and other infrastructure, some are starting to find they're suddenly under insured. That's largely because the building cost, for labour and materials, has increased significantly in the last 12 to 18 months. Mullewa farmer Rob Kitto had six large grain silos damaged in the cyclone, but his insurance pay-out will only cover the cost of replacing two. The warning signs have been around for a few weeks and today in the Perth metro area the price of fuel hit the two dollars a litre mark and it's hovering around that mark right across the state.

Some farmers in Western Australia's northern agricultural region have finished harvesting. That's the region that was damaged by Cyclone Seroja in April this year. Tom Powell farms just east of Binnu, which is between Northampton and Kalbarri. He finished harvesting a week ago and said not everything went according to plan, but overall it's still been a good year. The state's main grain handler, the CBH Group, has now received a total of 13.8 million tonnes and sites across the state are getting very, very full. There have been a few header fires across the state's Great Southern, which is always a risk in very hot, dry conditions.

Australia's lobster industry is struggling without its main customer, China. Prices have dropped from around $70 a kilogram to now sit between $16 to $26 a kilogram. So it might sound surprising to hear that a long time Kalbarri fisherman is preparing to go back fishing, after spending seven years leasing out his quota. Terry Ash steamed from Kalbarri to Geraldton yesterday to get some repairs done to his boat, after it was damaged when Cyclone Seroja hit Kalbarri.
The Australian Government is being overwhelmed by natural disasters; disasters that are considered natural but which have human fingerprints all over them. The universities website, The Conversation, has carried many stories about the climate crisis and two of the most recent of those are "Failure is not an option’: after a lost decade on climate action, the 2020s offer one last chance" by Professor Will Steffen, and "Cyclone Seroja just demolished parts of WA – and our warming world will bring more of the same"by Professor Jonathon Nott. Climate Conversations urges you to enjoy the music of "Music for a Warming World".

Clean-up has begun, and the reality the challenging road ahead is sinking in with the community
The Bunch got an update on the Cyclone Seroja clean up in WA's Mid West.
West Australian Premier Mark McGowan has described the damage wrought by ex-tropical cyclone Seroja as widespread and severe. Around 70 per cent of properties in a popular tourist spot on the state's midwest coast has been damaged. Seroja made landfall south of Kalbarri as a category three storm with wind gusts up to 170 kilometres per hour.

Emergency services in Western Australia are facing widespread power and telecommunications outages as they begin to assess the damage caused by ex-tropical Cyclone Seroja
The iconic One Mile Jetty was destroyed during Cyclone Seroja. Member for the North West Central Vince Catania joined Pablo to give us an update on the Jetty and the town of Kalbarri. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan says the tropical cyclone bearing down on the state's coastline is the fiercest of its kind “seen in decades”.Fast-moving Cyclone Seroja was upgraded to a category three and recorded winds of 170/km on Sunday evening, as emergency services warned residents from Carnarvon to Lancelin of impending danger.Seroja was maintaining its intensity as it approached the coast, but was downgraded to category 2 at 11pm with sustained winds near the centre of 100 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 140 kilometres per hour.The core of tropical cyclone Seroja is moving inland southeast of Geraldton. Wind gusts to 170 km/h were reported near Kalbarri during landfall, but the cyclone has now weakened slightly.WA's historic One Mile Jetty has already been ripped apart by the cyclone, with one witness saying “she just went under” around midday and that the jetty was “getting hammered”.WA's Department of Fire and Emergency issued a red alert for people living along a 450km stretch of the coast between Carnarvon and Kalbarri, warning them their lives and homes are at risk as tropical cyclone Seroja gathers momentum.Seroja was travelling at around 65 kilometres per hour, and significant impacts are expected to extend inland through to Wheat Belt communities overnight.The BOM says the cyclone will weaken as it moves further inland on Monday but is still likely to result in damaging wind gusts, particularly to the north and east of the track.Kalbarri, a resort town on WA's coast, recorded a 170 km/h wind gust at 7:03pm local time and has seen 111 mm of rain since 9am.“Conditions are quickly deteriorating, with damaging gales currently occurring between Denham and Kalbarri and stronger winds yet to come along the coast,” the BOM said.Mr McGowan said at a press conference people caught in the red zone were faced with a “very serious threat” and the government expected “significant damage”.“Tropical Cyclone Seroja is nothing we have seen before in decades,” he said. “People need to act to stay safe.“Stay inside and shelter in the strongest, safest part of your house or evacuation centre. Keep your emergency kit with you.“Stay away from doors and windows and keep them closed. Stay indoors until the all clear is given by authorities.”Anyone in the red alert area is urged to stay inside, activate their emergency alert plan and stay tuned in to updates.“Now we need that assistance from the community. Stay inside tonight. Don't even think about coming out until tomorrow,” WA Police commissioner Chris Dawson said.Cyclone Seroja is expected to bring damaging winds, heavy rain, abnormally high tides, and coastal flooding, sparking fears dozens of homes are at risk of going under water.Department of Fire and Emergency Services Commissioner Darren Klemm warned residents communications could become blocked in the area.“There will be times over the next six to seven hours where you may not have internet coverage, you may not have mobile phone coverage,” he said.Winds gusts could top 125km/h as far inland as the northern wheatbelt, with Seroja expected to move at a rate of 50km/h when it hits dry land.The howling winds are expected to hit Esperance from the west at 100km/h.People in the Kalbarri and Geraldton area can expect to feel the impact of the system from mid to late afternoon on Sunday.Residents in the low lying areas of Denham could become inundated with water as the weather system approaches.The Bureau of Meteorology has warned Denham and Geraldton face the worst conditions, which could last for up to three hours.“Tropical Cyclone Seroja is expected to cross the coast as a Category two system on Sunday evening,” it said in a statement.“The area at greatest risk is from Denham to Geraldton. Coastal communities and adjacent inland areas between Carnarvon and Lancelin are urged to monitor weather warnings on the Bureau's website and BOM Weather app, and be prepared to take action.“Dest...
Cyclone Seroja has certainly made its presence felt over the last 24 hours, battering communities as it crossed the state's mid west coast overnight and headed east. Rainfall has been widespread and so has damage, with many reports coming in of lost roofs, walls, entire homes and sheds. The cyclone red alert has now been reduced to include only Kalbarri and Northhampton, reflecting the significant damage that has occurred in the two towns. Tens of thousands of homes remain without power. While some farmers assess the damage ex tropical cyclone Seroja left behind this lunchtime, others will be firing up the tractor to get seeding. Decent summer rainfall across many grain growing regions means the top up today will be a near perfect start.
