(Summarised comments) Comment 1. Mandurah Properties Pty Ltd
(received via e-mail) (Owner of: 1-3 Dower Street, Mandurah)
a. Concerns regarding existing reciprocal access with the Forum and the proposal to remove the bays adjacent to 1-3 Dower Street. Currently, pedestrian safety is protected from vehicle traffic by a bollard in between the parking bays on the Forum Shopping Centre property. These existing pedestrian steps will have to be removed if the existing car bays on Forum property, and abutting our property, are moved to the opposite side of the access road.
b. Concerns regarding the proposed reduction in car parking ratio is considered to be inadequate as car parking bays are hard to find on busy shopping days at the Centre.
c. Concerns that the reduced parking ratio will force more people to park at neighbouring properties, which are already at a premium for customer parking.
d. Pedestrian access could also be improved from Dower Street, maybe a footpath on both sides of the main entry.
a. Noted, however, it is understood that there is no legal obligation for reciprocal access to be maintained in this location. Pedestrian access and safety will be enhanced as part of the redevelopment, however the particular area in question will be utilised predominantly for service vehicles and therefore, encouraging pedestrian circulation in this area is not considered desirable.
b. The proposed car parking ratio is
considered to be appropriate and is in accordance with the ratio contained in State Planning Policy 4.2 – Activity Centres for Perth and Peel.
c. The City is of the view that the proposed car parking is appropriate given the proposed improvements to the parking infrastructure, the inclusion of park assist technology and improved access to/from the centre.
d. Noted. Pedestrian connectivity from Dower Street to the western entry of the centre will be achieved by a footpath and pedestrian crossing.
2. A Boucaut (received via online consultation forum)
a. Support proposal to create more of an activity centre, more than just shopping centre revitalization.
b. Would like to see a focus on youth activities to improve the offer for this age range. Businesses such as time zone, ten pin bowling, cinemas etc allow younger people to visit the shopping centre and have something to do.
c. The TAB should be removed as it decreases the aesthetic appeal of the shopping centre.
d. There should also be an emphasis on restaurants to increase the night time appeal to visitors once the main shopping area has closed.
a. Noted.
b. Approval is being sought for a range of land uses including ‘Amusement Parlour’, ‘Place of Amusement’ and ‘Public Amusement’. Specific tenants will be at the applicant’s discretion and will be based on demand and leasing arrangements.
c. The existing TAB tenancy will be removed to facilitate expansion of the western mall.
d. Approval is being sought for a range of land uses including ‘Restaurant’. The application proposes a casual dining precinct at the main (Pinjarra Road) entry with a focus on food and beverage tenancies.
3. T Long (received via online consultation forum)
a. Concerns regarding insufficient car parking ratio.
a. The proposed car parking ratio is considered to be appropriate given the proposed improvements to the parking infrastructure, the inclusion of park assist technology and improved access to/from the centre and is in accordance with the ratio contained in State Planning Policy 4.2 – Activity Centres for Perth and Peel.
