MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 18 SEPTEMBER 2012 Comment Mirrabooka Town Square is a pivotal element to the revitalisation of the Mirrabooka Regional Centre and was designed to accommodate events such as markets with the necessary services including communications, power and water. Markets could play a significant role in activating the Mirrabooka Regional Centre and creating a sense of place. A report was produced by consultants Creating Communities Pty Ltd (as attached) in May 2005 to determine the feasibility of establishing markets in Mirrabooka. This report highlighted the need to support the establishment of markets and estimated the cost to the City to be approximately $54,000. Markets did not proceed at the time due to objections from local retailers. The City has received interest from two (2) local community groups; the Rotary Club of Morley and Nollamara RSL; both expressed their willingness to establish weekend markets, demonstrating that the opportunity to seek expressions of interests is feasible. The following report will outline the options and resource requirements for the establishment of a community market in Mirrabooka for Council’s consideration. Site Options Officers have undertaken a preliminary review of potential sites for a weekend community market in Mirrabooka. This considered criteria including appropriate land use zoning, current ownership status, car parking capacity, size requirements and ‘fit-for-purpose’ measure. The results of this initial review are as follows. Option 1 - Mirrabooka Town Square - Lot 15, 16 Sudbury Road, Mirrabooka The Town Square (area marked by a dashed line in Aerial Photograph 1 below) was originally designed as part of the Mirrabooka Regional Centre Improvement Strategy to be used for markets with connections for power and water. It provides the best space for ‘activating’ the centre and could further attract commuters from the Mirrabooka Bus Station and be accessible to drivers with the Mirrabooka Library and retail car parking nearby. Further, the Mirrabooka Square Shopping Centre specified their preference for a site centred around the Town Square site if markets were to be held on Friday evening as this would provide flow-on benefits to the major shopping stores open after hours (Big W, Kmart, Coles and Woolworths). They also indicated that Centre Management may consider the use of a portion of the car park for market activity if a proposal were presented to them that did not adversely impact their retailers. It should be noted that a Development Application has been submitted by the Mirrabooka Square Shopping Centre to create car park space backing up to the Town Square and on the old Town Square site which would prohibit the establishment of markets on this site until these works are complete. Under Local Planning Scheme No.3 the site is currently zoned ‘Civic’ which specifically prohibits markets as a use on this site. Officers recognise the important role that weekend community markets could contribute to the sense of place and community vibrancy in a local area and that the Town Square was created to cater for such activities. Therefore to resolve this issue so that markets may be an approved use on this site in the future, a proposal has been included in the Omnibus Amendment to Local Planning Scheme No.3 to provide for ‘Market’ uses as a discretionary (‘D’) use able to be considered in the Civic Zone. 286
MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 18 SEPTEMBER 2012 The amendments are expected to be adopted in the next six (6) to nine (9) months and until modifications are made to the Scheme it is not possible for Council to endorse a market on this site. It is likely markets could be a considered for the 2013/2014 summer period. Stage Spectators/ Seating Aerial Photograph 1 – Town Square site Option 2 - Sudbury Road Street Verge - Lot 401 and Lot 53, Sudbury Road, Mirrabooka The street verges along Sudbury Road (Aerial Photograph 2) were upgraded as part of the Mirrabooka Regional Centre Improvement Strategy and are zoned ‘Mixed Use’ which allows for a market use. As part of the improvements, the pavements have been widened and could easily accommodate the stalls for a community market. To establish markets at this site, a number of additional challenges need to be addressed which would include closing the road for the duration of the markets to allow for pedestrian flow along Sudbury Road. Traffic, including the buses from the Mirrabooka Bus Station, would need to be re-routed. The greatest impact would be on retail businesses in the area as well as the Public Transport Authority. It has been determined that the cost of closing Sudbury Road for the duration of the markets on a weekly basis for the proposed six (6) month season is estimated at over $20,000. The associated costs include two (2) traffic management personnel for the duration of the markets, monthly advertisement of road closure in the Stirling Times and use of a Variable Message Board once a month for six (6) months. This is deemed to be cost prohibitive to the establishment of a community market on this site. 287
