MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL<br />

18 SEPTEMBER 2012<br />

Classed as a ‘Development Zone’, the land use is to be in accordance with the Structure<br />

Plan however the Structure Plan for this area is currently under development. In order to use<br />

the land for the purpose <strong>of</strong> a community market, Council would have to conclude that the<br />

use is in accordance with the intent <strong>of</strong> the Structure Plan and would not compromise the<br />

objectives <strong>of</strong> the Structure Plan<br />

Whilst a site that is fit for purpose and allows for easy establishment, it is on the outskirts <strong>of</strong><br />

the Town Centre and would not activate the Town Centre. It is close to residential<br />

development which could lead to objections from local residents.<br />

Conclusion <strong>of</strong> Site Options<br />

The assessment <strong>of</strong> the identified sites indicates the most appropriate site for the<br />

establishment <strong>of</strong> markets is the Mirrabooka Town Square (Option 1). Given the current<br />

‘Civic’ zoning does not allow for markets, it is proposed that the establishment <strong>of</strong> a weekend<br />

community market be pursued in the 2013/14 summer period following the amendments to<br />

Local Planning Scheme No.3 to permit this land use.<br />

Market Style and Type<br />

There are a significant number <strong>of</strong> market styles and types to choose from however not all<br />

would provide a best fit for the Mirrabooka area. The style <strong>of</strong> market would need to reflect<br />

the area’s character but also appeal to and attract patrons from a regional catchment to<br />

create additional economic benefits for the region.<br />
