Register for Second Forum on Riseley Centre

The forum, the second one to be arranged, will hear about the Draft Vision for the Riseley Centre and its potential for revitalising the Applecross area.

The draft vision proposes a pedestrian-focused centre, characterised by a more sustainable mix of retail, business and residential developments.

Mayor Russell Aubrey said he was pleased to see such a high level of community engagement with the project as feedback was encouraged by the City of Melville.

“Now is the ideal time to get involved because the draft vision is at the very early concept stages,” he said.

“The City encourages people to register for the second forum and ask any questions, as well as provide input.

“The Riseley Centre area is currently a popular hub of retail outlets and cafés, well-serviced by public transport.

“The community should be assured that detailed traffic studies will be conducted to model future traffic implications for the area. Other studies will consider options for pedestrian-friendly streetscapes, parking strategies and built-form guidelines for a mix of retail, commercial and residential activities.”

The second forum on the Draft Vision for the Riseley Centre will be held at 6.00pm on Monday, 21 November at the City of Melville Civic Centre, 10 Almondbury Road, Booragoon.

Interested people should register their attendance by Thursday, 17 November by calling the City of Melville on 1300 635 845.
