Well fuck a duck, very unseasonal storm in Perth we're having right now. #BBL start delayed at Optus stadium (thank goodness we didn't go), and my insurance co even spam-texted me to warn of possible hail.

Here in #TownofVicPark we have an important gap in our cycle infrastructure: the Principal Shared Path has not been completed between Vic Park Station and Burswood.

While we continue to advocate for State funding to complete the path, on Tuesday night I'm going to propose that we use an existing budget allocation to add a temporary, protected, separated on-street path that bridges the missing section.

**Biography**

Qoxoxolō is Belmont born and bred—and if you’re from around here, you’ve probably benefited from their handiwork.

Take a ride on the 935 hoverbus through Signal Hill and feel the jarrah branches whisper against the windows—those trees were planted by their grandparents. They were there too, a small fuzzy tot learning to pat soil around rootballs with reverence and mischief.

Visit the Belmont Video Game Museum and behold the high score in Street Fighter Alpha—"Q.X." sits comfortably at the top, using Dan Hibiki, no less. Nobody’s beaten it since 2345.

Wondering why the Belmont Bombers Oval has an absurd 80-metre arc painted on the turf? It’s not official—just a community in-joke. Qoxoxolō’s footy kicks made the 50m line feel… cramped.

And if your peaceful Faulkner Park picnic was ever photobombed by a troop of Oblong Turtles wearing coordinated scarves, they might’ve been involved. 😝

Their name, Qoxoxolō, comes from Izamqiri, a Centaurian language, spoken by their Life-bearer. It evokes the gentle rhythm of waves lapping against the shores of the Darbal Yerigan (Swan River), where they were born and where they continue to serve.

**Current Role and Community Impact of Qoxoxolō**

As Mayor of Belmont and Steward of the Signal Hill Old-Growth Forest, Qoxoxolō balances tradition with innovation. They’ve implemented noon-nap scheduling for heatwave resilience, leading moonlit meditation under jarrah canopies and negotiated crucial shuttle infrastructure upgrades with United Earth Transit— and they brought their warmth, history, and that unmistakable Centaurian grin to every table.

Qoxoxolō lives with one foot in the dirt and one eye on the stars—equal parts local legend, civic leader, and forest-dwelling mystery. Whether they’re championing regenerative ecology, grilling mullet at a community barbeque, or handing out arcade game guides to school tour groups at the BVGM, one thing’s for sure: Belmont wouldn’t be the same without them.
