Meeting with the Mayor of the City of Cockburn

On the 28 Feb, CLAIR Sydney staff members had a meeting with Mr Logan Howlett, the Mayor of the Western Australian City of Cockburn, in Perth. Mayor Howlett participated in the 2015 Local Government Exchange and Cooperation Seminar organised by CLAIR, and visited Yamato Takada City in Nara Prefecture to learn about different aspects of Japanese local government. Since then, Mayor Howlett has kindly accommodated a CLAIR Sydney staff member’s request to conduct a study tour in the City of Cockburn last year.

At the meeting with Mayor Howlett, we exchanged opinions on collaboration opportunities between CLAIR Sydney and the City of Cockburn in future. CLAIR Sydney would like to continue to have more dialogues with local governments in Australia, as well as provide support for Japanese local governments’ activities in Australia.

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
