Yes, I agree that EPRA is not doing a great job. The rents are too high, retailers are struggling, and the momentum has been lost. Huge lost opportunity, I could rant on about it for days.... the empty shops are an absolute disaster.<br /><br />I also agree about the whole liquor situation.N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05493493872420484240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407350117707397641.post-60899808505431208632011-05-16T16:36:40.059+08:002011-05-16T16:36:40.059+08:00Not sure if anyone still reads this but it&#39;s interesting that 6 months on there are still bugger-all tenants in the William St area even with EPRA involved. And it&#39;s for 2 reasons.<br /><br />Police.<br />Commissioner.<br /><br />That stupid wanker shut down Trimboli&#39;s plans to open a small bar as part of a larger complex right across from the Brass Monkey, so Trimboli said &#39;screw you we&#39;re taking our development money to another city&#39; in an open letter to the West. So now the entire project is shit-canned becuase the Cop doesnt want another bar? What about the rest of the development? It was only a tiny fraction of the plan but the community misses out on ALL of it becuase of one dickhead!<br /><br />Point is that for as eager as people are to move Perth forwards, it will ALWAYS... ALWAYS be held back by self-interested little people in unelected positions of pointless power, serving their own self-inflated egos and self-serving interests. <br /><br />Jesus, development plans needing an OK from the Cop before proceeding? F****** PLEASE what is going on?<br /><br />I guess I should remember Perth is not a city. It is a medium sized country town in a mining and farming state and has ZERO competition or alternatives. So of course progress gets blocked by a single pompous UNELECTED (am I making this really clear here? NO-ONE voted for this prick to have this power - democracy anyone?) single individual instead of a council or a corporate body or even controversially - the CITIZENS THEMSELVES. <br /><br />Wait... we&#39;re not citizens we&#39;re SUBJECTS, right! Forgot for a minute. <br /><br />WA is a retirement state for people who make their money in mining to retire and enjoy the &#39;peaceful&#39; life, and Perth is &#39;the big smoke&#39; where farmers send their kids to get an education. Anyone elses interests will only be met through generational change when the old dickheads are dead and out of office. Only pray they arent replaced by their own children, who have been raised to perpetuate the problem.<br /><br />The EPRA has ruined Northbridge. Too many empty stores is just a fancy facade on urban decay caused by insane rents and power-broker cops. Face it. The real &#39;power&#39; behind progress - the people with the VISION - are being screwed by the pompous little-big people that have been placed in a position of veto over decisions about development.<br /><br />Who the F*** thought it was a good idea to let the COPS decide who can open a bar?<br /><br />Anyone wonder what their decision might be....?<br /><br />Anyone?Irishhttp://www.facebook.com/irish73noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407350117707397641.post-32957496647301521052010-10-04T10:55:33.855+08:002010-10-04T10:55:33.855+08:00Thanks &quot;Anonymous&quot; employee of EPRA. However, my article has no untrue comments. Not one. So, think before you write, anonymous EPRA employee. Your comment, however, is untrue. &quot;Allphones&quot; is moving into an EPRA owned building. Allphones is a franchise/chain store. They have 25 stores in WA alone. &quot;Happy High Herbs&quot; is also moving onto an EPRA owned William Street property. This will be their TWENTIETH store in Australia. So, your comments about no chain stores are simply untrue.<br /><br />Additionally, if you had of read my article, you would understand that it was written as a fictional account of William Street in 2015.<br /><br />In a subsequent article on this site, dated March 7th, 2010, I wrote &quot;EPRA, congratulations, you get Northbridge....The future mix of tenants on the &quot;new&quot; William Street is looking pretty special... EPRA YOU&#39;RE THE DUKE OF PERTH A-NUMBER ONE!&quot;<br /><br />So, don&#39;t stress, anonymous EPRA employee. But perhaps think about diverting the rents away from the terrible St Jeromes &quot;laneway&quot; festival. Or at least, hold it in a Laneway. <br /><br />By the way, EPRA, you are doing a good job on William, but I wouldn&#39;t be proud of the cultural center...N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05493493872420484240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407350117707397641.post-16815044926553735562010-10-03T22:41:43.357+08:002010-10-03T22:41:43.357+08:00The article has several untrue statements i wont go into detail as i cant be bothered but heres one:<br /><br />1.)

Give it 50 years, and East Perth and Subi might have a chance, once the real estate offices and generic cafes have had the chance to fail, change, fail, change and degrade over time, and migrants get to create a milieu. Until then, they&#39;ll be Legoland.<br /><br />Perth&#39;s problem is the settlement patterns since the 1950s won&#39;t allow that to occur, because we created dormitory suburbs with no capacity for retrofitting.<br /><br />Maybe the crappy bit west of Milligan Street, and our stomping ground east of Stirling Street offer the best opportunities. Who knows, maybe International 300 will become a beacon of hope.Bentonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407350117707397641.post-53515735759196801542010-01-08T09:32:09.280+08:002010-01-08T09:32:09.280+08:00To TWOP&#39;s Subi-related scepticism, I add: East Perth. Both of them are soulless ghettos of pre-fab anonymous &quot;lifestyle housing&quot; with the chain stores and shitty restaurants that go with it. <br /><br />The problem with EPRA apparently is that they&#39;re starved of funds, so to pay for the cultural centre redevelopment they need to raise rents. So, in trying to create synthetic &quot;vibrancy&quot; they kill the actual good stuff.
