Maylands, Western AustraliaMaylands is a riverside inner-city suburb approximately 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) northeast of Perth centred on the Midland, High Wycombe and Ellenbrook railway lines on the northern bank of the Swan River. The suburb was developed during the 1890s and is an administrative locality within the City of Bayswater (having been mostly within the City of Stirling until 1998), bordered by the suburbs of Mount Lawley, East Perth and Bayswater. Maylands railway station provides easy access to the City centre and beyond. The railway line was originally built in the 1880s, and the railway station was extensively refurbished in 2000. Recently a shared bicycle / pedestrian path was built to link Maylands with neighbouring suburbs via the shoreline of the Swan River. There is also a small yacht club and a golf course. Maylands was once a source of clay for brick and tile making at Maylands Brickworks, and the pits from these activities are now part of a golf course and residential area. It was home to Perth's main airport which serviced many kinds of aircraft and even flying boats until the early 1960s, when the airport moved to Perth Airport. The facilities were then converted to a training area for the Western Australian Police Service.

Ratepayers' AssociationRatepayers' Association in the United Kingdom and other countries is a name used by a political party or electoral alliance contesting a local election to represent the interests of those who pay rates to the municipal government. In Canada a ratepayers' association is the same thing as a neighbourhood association. Rates are a property tax which provides a main source of funding for some local governments; the amount paid is usually proportional to the value of the property, and commercial premises may have higher rates than residences. Therefore a Ratepayers' Association is typically supported by property owners rather than tenants, and by business owners in particular, and has a platform of value-for-money and avoiding wasteful municipal spending. In the United Kingdom, local elections were on a ratepayer franchise until the 1910s, and Ratepayers' Associations remained prominent until the 1930s, when they lost ground to the three national parties; since the 1960s they have retained a role in scattered urban and suburban areas. Examples include: Heald Green Ratepayers has represented the ward of Heald Green on Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council in England since 1927 (formerly on Gatley UDC prior to the creation of Stockport MBC) Citizens and Ratepayers (renamed "Communities and Residents" in 2012) controlled Auckland City Council for most of the years from 1938 to 1998 Newtownabbey Ratepayers' Association had members on Newtownabbey Borough Council in Northern Ireland from 1997 to 2005 Wolverhampton Association of Ratepayers had one or two seats on Wolverhampton City Council between 1975 and 1980 Chingford Ratepayers' Association, which governed Municipal Borough of Chingford until 1965, was nominally independent of the Conservative Party; similarly in many other London boroughs in the early and mid 20th century Sligo Ratepayers Association won 8 of 24 seats in the 1919 Sligo Corporation election on an anti-corruption, pro-business ticket.
