Closed consultations

The Town of Victoria Park and the Department of Transport have partnered to deliver improved walking and cycling facilities along Rutland Avenue.

The aim of this project is to provide a safe and convenient connection for pedestrians and bike riders between the existing principal shared path (PSP) along the Graham Farmer Freeway and Welshpool Road.

The Town of Victoria Park is planning an activation project in John Macmillan Park, outside of the library along Sussex St, with an aim to make the park friendlier, more interesting and safer for the community.

The Town of Victoria Park has resolved to initiate Amendment No. 79 to the Town of Victoria Park Town Planning Scheme No. 1 due to a request from the land owner of Lots 9 and 9525 Victoria Park Drive, Burswood.

The Town of Victoria Park is developing a Mobile Food Vendor Policy to guide the location, operation and regulation of mobile food vendors (e.g food trucks and food stalls) within our local government area

The Town of Victoria Park and the City of South Perth have embarked on a joint effort to deliver a comprehensive bike plan for the community by 2018.

The plan aims to understand the needs of the cycling community and seek to further develop the existing cycling infrastructure. We want to make the cycling network and facilities better connected across the two local government areas, which will make cycling safer and more convenient.

The Town of Victoria Park upgrades a number of parks and playgrounds in the Council area each year to ensure the community’s playgrounds are well-designed, well-located, safe and fun for users.

As part of this process, we undertake community consultation where there is an opportunity to share your thoughts during the planning phase of the playground.

A key strategic goal of the Town’s Integrated Movement Network Strategy (IMNS) is to implement the Lathlain Traffic Management Plan (LTMP). This has been developed to provide a structured process of improving road safety and resolving traffic issues throughout the suburb.

Traffic calming slows traffic in residential areas by building road humps or other obstructions. It is just one aspect of the Town's overall plan to reduce the effect of traffic on local streets.

For most of history streets were the most central and shared space of a city. Across many cultures and times, the street has been the stage where public life unfolds. However, in the last 50 years the way we use our streets has changed and we now think of streets as being a space just for cars, parking spaces and moving goods. As a result, our streets are failing us. We need to start thinking of ways to reclaim our streets as places, reshaping them into destinations for culture, creativity and community. By re-imagining our laneways and intersections along Albany Highway, the Town is hoping to do just that.

Currently, the Department of Lands has placed limitations on the Edward Millen Site restricting its use to community and recreational purposes only. To deliver on the community's aspirations for the site expressed during Phase 1, the Town will prepare a document to submit to the Department of Lands to ask them to reconsider the limitations they have set. By seeking approval to relax some the existing limitations, it will enable us to make more choices about who can use the site and for what purpose. The Edward Millen site has long been a part of the Victoria Park identity. Built in 1911, the original Edward Millen House and its surrounds has a rich and colourful history providing health services for the Perth community (midwifery, repatriation of soldiers, psychiatric care, a centre for autistic children) and is now a State Heritage listed building.

The Kensington Bushland Management Plan provides a framework for the environmental management of Kensington Bushland for the next five years.
