The member for Nedlands will be very
excited by this question too. He is delivering more for his electorate than he
ever did when he was in government! Just like the member for South Perth,
actually.
Several members interjected.
Ms R. SAFFIOTI : He freely
admits that we are delivering a lot to his constituents!
(1)–(2) Last
night the recommendation made by Subiaco council was welcomed. The broader
community is really welcoming the commitment to redevelop the Subiaco Pavilion
Markets site, particularly the small business community of Subiaco. This site,
together with our broader vision of the area, really looks at trying to support
small business, making sure we get housing diversity and choice, and
understanding that people want choice in the suburbs. They do not want every
house to be subdivided. They want the ability to have character in the streets
together with livable, high-density precincts.
Dr D.J. Honey interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Cottesloe!
Ms
R. SAFFIOTI : This is all about
housing diversity and density in the right places. Of course, we are doing a lot
in that area. The site, together with the Subiaco east redevelopment, will see
a new inner-city college being built; upgrades to some of the streets,
including the Hamilton Street Bridge; the retention of Subiaco Oval as a key
part of the overall development; and new public spaces. Subiaco east is predicted
to become the home of more than 2 000 dwellings over the next 30 to 40 years.
This is in line with our vision for access to public transport, good public
open space and density in the right places but retaining the character of the
suburb. I urge and hope the councils work with the state to make sure that we
can implement this vision because we do not want to destroy the character of
any suburb. We want to retain character but get the infill right, with density
in the right places, liveability, and again, letting small business have access
to more people to grow their businesses into the future.
