Hey Acc... I have a new post in the works, it will take me another few weeks...I am incredibly busy at the moment with a new blog (top secret). Dilaz banned me for life at my request, but I have made a new account, and will be back on soon. Also, I will be in Hong Kong next week, looking forward to that!

Riverside Drive? Seriously - who needs it anyway. And as Colin so rightly pointed out - it's way easier to build a tunnel underneath the development once it is finished.

I still don't understand the obsession with flipping GRASS in this state: we practically live in a desert, so why the HELL would anyone think wasting millions of tonnes of water on keeping green spaces alive is a practical and economical use of one of our most precious resources, be it ground/grey/recycled/purple water or what?? Build the flipping thing, the Esplanade is a mighty waste of space and I will just hope that whatever ends up on the foreshore will provide interesting new opportunities for social interactions and cultural pursuits. Even if it happens retrospectively, guerrilla stylee ...

As an Architect, Planner, and Urban Designer that's realtively new to Perth I have this to say... You're spot on mate. This is definatley the best commentary on the state of Perth Planning I've heard yet.

I see an upside too and don't really give a shit... Bad planning makes Perth average and keeps people away (we can't keep up with the growth as it is, can you imagine if it was actually a great city). It's nice that no one comes here. Fuck it, if you want a world class city to live in then move to one. I came here live somewhere average and quiet. It's time to take it easy.

Thanks Chris!

2012-01-21T12:22:59.715+08:00

This type of development will ruin the Perth foreshore.
Perth is unique in the way that it has lawn / garden area seperating the skyline from the water.
sure we can use develpment.
however using a heritage listed site is a narrow minded way of building monuments to the government of today.
if the city was to expand why not take it back sinking the railway line, expand over northbrige, out to newcastle st.
where the buildings are not more than two stories and very few have any heritage status, save great buildings like the brass monkey and alike, also save the front of some of these buildings as a way of mixing the past with the present and future.

we have one of the nicest city scapes in the world

Don't see the need to rush through bad ideas. Anyone with half a brain knows that the best case scenario for completing the entire project is about 20-30 years. By then no one who has commented on your post will care anymore because we will all be to busy writing letters to The West or Post complaining about the number of crows at the local park or sitting in some wanky wine bar on the corner of Eric St and Marine Pde talking about how much we used to enjoy Sunday sessions at the OBH. Personally I think the Northbridge Link project/redevelopment is more important to the future of Perth but each to their own.

2012-01-19T17:32:34.628+08:00

RE: A certain late night destination, I don't have any solid, fact checked or verified information. (Hey lawyers, what follows is a fiction and any similarity to any late night destination living or dead is purely coincidental).What I was told was that due to the involvement of the owners in certain shady activities, they were shut down by the police. At about the same time that I heard this, a news article appeared about an unnamed North Perth late night place being raided for dealing Chronic and receiving stolen property. (Actually, you'd probably best not publish this comment in case lawyers get a hold of it, but just thought I'd pass on what I heard. They sell nangs for years with no drama, but the second that Chronic gets involved it becomes an issue. Gotta love Perth)

2012-01-19T12:51:07.492+08:00

Approx 100,000 people work in the City of Perth (2006 census).
1,700 apartments at 1.8 persons per apartment = 3,060 people living at the waterfront.
Gives 3% of people the opportunity to both live and work in the city (in addition to several thousand more apartments to be developed at riverside east perth, city link etc)

2012-01-19T12:07:40.510+08:00

11. Public realm. Will I be able to buy a drink, and drink it outdoors when I head down there after it’s built to see whether the place holds anything interesting or pleasant for me? Or will there be somewhere to sit and watch people and the river, without buying a meal and so renting a seat? Will I be able to invite a few friends to come with me and have a chat about this and that, without feeling out of place or being moved on? Will I be able to use a public toilet or will I need to hike back up the hill, or again rent the (toilet) seat by buying something? What about after 8pm, will the space be actually locked off or effectively locked down?
Has this development too been forced to succumb to the heavy, economically driven pressure of conservative Perth to cleanse the interesting and ordinary in urban life?

You seem to give a shit about not giving a shit. It's well written. And passionate.

But.

The Gen X stuff is tiresome. You think you guys invented not giving a shit? Well, I'm a baby boomer, and I don't give a shit about you not giving a shit.
