MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL<br />

18 SEPTEMBER 2012<br />

Option 3 - Mirrabooka Library site - Lot 101, 21 Sudbury Road, Mirrabooka<br />

Under the Local Planning Scheme No.3, the Mirrabooka Library Site, shown in Aerial<br />

Photograph 3, is zoned ‘Mixed Use’ and ‘Community Purposes’ and ‘Markets’ are a<br />

permitted use within this zone. The site also <strong>of</strong>fers space for approximately 107 bays<br />

allowing for a combination <strong>of</strong> stall holders and parking as well as an additional 21 car parking<br />

bays along Sudbury Road. The Library is closed on Sundays which would negate conflict<br />

with parking bays should the markets be held during this time. Friday night markets would<br />

conflict as stallholders would be required to set-up prior to library close.<br />

Whilst visible from Sudbury Road, the site is approximately 120m from the Town Square and<br />

set back from the road and would not provide street activation. As the car park is a<br />

dominant feature <strong>of</strong> this site, it does not promote a ‘stay-a-while’ atmosphere and therefore<br />

may be more suited to a wares or convenience style market such as car boot set-up.<br />

Whilst this site provides for the easy establishment <strong>of</strong> markets and some activation <strong>of</strong> the<br />

area given its proximity to the Town Square, stall set-up would conflict with Library opening<br />

hours if a Friday night market were to be established and would further conflict with retail<br />

trade were it to open on a Saturday or Sunday.<br />

Option 4 – Herb Graham Recreation Centre - Property Number 259072, Mirrabooka<br />

A short walking distance from the Town Centre, the Herb Graham Recreation Centre would<br />

provide suitable space for the establishment <strong>of</strong> a community market (see Aerial Photograph<br />

4). The area provides a grassed frontage that could be utilised for market stalls and seating<br />

areas and also has ample parking that is not expected to conflict with sporting activities<br />

regardless <strong>of</strong> the day held. The market could activate the Recreation Centre and provide an<br />

on-flow <strong>of</strong> patrons from sporting activities.<br />
