organisation running the markets are required to
provide commercial waste collection service as
part of the waste management plan.
Regular site inspection to ensure site is left neat

Waste & Fleet
Engineering Operations
It should be noted that the overall coordination and the development and assessment of the
Expression of Interest would be the responsibility of the Economic Development and Urban
Regeneration Business Unit.
Currently the only resource this Business Unit has with the ability to complete such a project
is a 0.6 FTE position. This is not sufficient resources given other projects of a higher priority
taking precedence and it would therefore be required to provide additional resources to
manage the Expression of Interest process that are set out in the Financial Implications
section of this report.
Consultation/Communication Implications
The Mirrabooka Square Shopping Centre and the Public Transport Authority have been
identified as the most likely to be affected with the establishment of a community market.
The Mirrabooka Square Shopping Centre’s comments are noted in this report.
With regard to the Sudbury Road site, discussions have occurred with the Public Transport
Authority who indicated that they would not be supportive of the road closure as it would
view this as a poor statement from the City on the value of public transport. They did
however state that if Sudbury Road proved to be the most feasible option for the
establishment of the markets, they would adhere to the road closures for the duration of the
markets. The Public Transport Authority’s preferred day would be Sunday as this would least
disrupt its bus services.
It would be a requirement that the Mirrabooka Market Management conduct further
consultation with the local community. In the event Sudbury Road is the chosen site,
ongoing collaboration with the Public Transport Authority would also be required to minimise
disruption to the local bus services.
Policy and Legislative Implications
There may be some implications in relation to National Competition Policy.
