THE SUPPORT YOU NEED

by DAVID BELL

VINCENT council is set to spend $330,000 on revitalising Beaufort Street after another two long-term businesses there closed in the space of a week.

Clarences bar at 566 Beaufort Street closed May 27 after a decade on the strip, with management saying “due to the greed and ignorance of landlords, another one bites the dust in this once thriving precinct”.

Five Bar announced its closure on May 22 after nine years.

Some of the remaining business owners don’t want to talk publicly about the street’s demise in case it makes things worse, with one saying that “all the negativity is not helping Beaufort Street at all”.

EventsThere’s $330,000 for

various Beaufort Street events and initiatives in Vincent’s 2019/20 budget, and mayor Emma Cole says Vincent plans to tackle this issue head-on with a new “vacancy project” to bring more diversity to the strip.

The intention is for pop-

ups not to compete with existing businesses, but to entice people down to “on-spend”.

“I understand the deep concern that many of our businesses and residents are feeling about what is happening on Beaufort Street,” Ms Cole said.

“We do know that vacancies and a lack of a diverse and unique mix of offerings on Beaufort Street can have a ripple-on effect for surrounding businesses.

“Bricks and mortar independent businesses on high streets are what give our inner city town centres the creative edge over large

scale shopping centres. “The right mix needs

to deliver both day and night time trade and be complementary.”

CollaboratingStirling and Vincent

councils are collaborating on a project to work with landlords and curate “an interesting mix of pop-ups and work together on finding longer-term, more permanent solutions to this central problem”, Ms Cole says.

Beaufort Street is split between Vincent and Stirling councils at the

border of Walcott Street (sometimes called Perth’s Berlin Wall), which has hampered collaborations in the past.

Beaufort Street Network chair Joshua O’Keefe has focused on extending the network’s activities north of Walcott Street.

He’s optimistic about this new era of the two councils working together: “Finally the wall comes down,” he says.

“Our first job is to outreach to businesses to build a good working relationship so we can deliver a bunch of exciting

VINCENT council has voted to keep its policy prohibiting circus animals on council land.

The obscure rule, which ropes in travelling menageries, has been on the books since 1996, and last week the administration recommended it be repealed as part of a routine review into defunct policies, as no one has ever applied to bring circus animals to town.

Councillor Jonathan Hallett queried the repeal at the council briefing session. Staff informed him the long term plan is to eventually roll the animal ban into their space hire conditions, rather than having a separate policy.

In the meantime they’ve decided to keep the circus animal policy so there’s no confusion when a traveling

PRODIGIOUS numbers of flowers and plants are still being stolen from Kings Park.

Police made three arrests relating to mass flower theft late last year (some of those may have been the same serial flora thief) but greenery is still going missing.

On May 27 the Kings Park and Botanic Garden Authority put out a public plea for information saying “there have been at least 28 significant thefts

reported in the last 12 months, with up to hundreds of stems cut per incident. More thefts are likely to have gone unnoticed”.

The KPBGA said “the most recent theft on Thursday night saw a number of banksia flowers cut and stolen from the WA Botanic Garden.

“It is believed the flowers and foliage are being sold commercially. Florists are urged to check their suppliers are obtaining stocks from legal

sources.“The thefts are damaging

Kings Park’s beautiful displays for visitors, having an impact on the natural environment of the park.”

If you see anything suspicious like someone exiting the park with three bags of flowers that they didn’t have on the way in (police arrested such a fellow at midnight on December 28), call a park management officer on 0418 923 973.

THERE’S an early bird for the Vincent council elections in October, with Beaufort Street Network chair Joshua O’Keefe announcing he’ll run for South Ward.

Usually candidates don’t announce they’re running for council until a few weeks out from polling day, but Mr O’Keefe says “the conversation about the future of Vincent deserves more than just a one-month burst on Instagram or Facebook with a prospective candidate.”

Mr O’Keefe was elected chair of the Network in July last year, as the strip was in the throes of financial struggles and store closures.

Making the best of a bad hand he’s worked on the Brighter Beaufort Action Plan, and has successfully lobbied Stirling Council to start working with the Network on the northern section of Walcott Street.

He says he often talks to traders, shoppers and landlords and “the news seems to be bad lately, but this just gives me more drive to help turn it around – if I am elected to council with these strong relationships already in place, it will only benefit our town centres when

tough decisions have to be made”.

Mr O’Keefe has previously worked as a planner at Vincent council and is now a year 6 teacher.

He says “Vincent Council has been in a ‘steady as she goes’ state for a while now and it’s

time to get some fresh blood at the big table by someone who will challenge the status quo.”

Both spots in Vincent’s south ward are up for grabs, and incumbent councillors Susan Gontaszewski and Jimmy Murphy said they are keen to run again.

Out of the blocks early

THE director clear-out at Perth City Council will now happen behind closed doors at the behest of commissioners.

The city’s currently advertising for four “general managers” to replace five outgoing directors, and commissioners standing in for elected councillors have decided that the hiring and firing process should not take place at a public meeting.

At the February 26 council meeting, Commissioner Andrew Hammond moved an item of “urgent business” that the city remove the “senior employee” designation from all directors and the couple of senior management positions that it had previously applied to.

That will mean if any director or senior manager is hired or dismissed it wouldn’t need a vote of councillors, as had previously been necessary under the Local Government Act.

Commr Hammond said at the time: “We are two directors

down at the moment, and we really don’t want to put any obstacles in the way.

“It’s my personal view, and certainly as a previous CEO [of Rockingham] that the appointment of all staff is the responsibility of the CEO.”

Commr Gaye McMath chaired the meeting and accepted the item as urgent.

Transparency“I think that it’s very

important that we do not delay with any deliberation on staff matters generally, and certainly not delay on any ... staff matters coming forward to a later meeting.”

Cr Reece Harley, suspended along with the rest of the council, said last week he was disappointed in the lack of transparency about the restructure of directors. He wants to know how many staff were made redundant and how much it cost.

There was confusion last week over who had actually resigned, with The West reporting “all five” directors had

gone, but two were still listed on the city’s website.

CEO Murray Jorgansen said: “No directors were dismissed, all directors resigned at their own discretion.” Two directors are fulfilling their roles until their regular finishing dates.

“To be clear, this is about replacing the vacant executive roles that have arisen over the past 12 months and taking the opportunity at the same time to review and improve the way we do things here at the city.

“In doing so I have decided to move from five portfolios to four and better align our services for the betterment of all our stakeholders. This will also produce an operating cost saving.

The Voice asked about the directors’ severance payments, but Mr Jorgansen said: “To respect the privacy of individual employees, the city will not address inquiries of this nature”.

Senior employees are also eligible for more generous severance packages, but Mr Jorgansen said the February 26 notice of motion “did not affect outgoing director’s claim to benefits”.

What now for Bill?HOW do Labor Bill Shorten’s feelings now compare with those that Hillary Clinton endured more than two years ago?

On approaching the final straight of the Australian federal election race Shorten seemed assured of elevation to prime minister only to have Liberal Scott Morrison burst past him – propelled to some extent by Clive “Trump” Palmer’s scary millions.

Likewise, Hillary felt certain to become the first woman president of the United States when the illiterate billionaire Donald Trump snatched the White House, courtesy of the weird and archaic Electoral College with which Americans persist.

Bill Shorten – or rather, Chloe Shorten’s husband – is still a young man, however, and his political ambitions are unlikely to have been completely doused.

Ten years’ hence, who knows what might be in store for him?

There’s unlikely to be a repeat performance of May 18, 2019. Ahead of him could still be an opportunity to become Australia’s saviour; given that today’s predicaments will persist, even intensify.

Bill’s mission might even be to save us from ending “on the beach” with Neville Shute – sorry: even a junior octogenarian can meander.

We return to Hillary who is, of course, in years, two decades ahead of Bill Shorten. Even so, I have for her a scenario that space here prevents my setting out.

Winsley HurstSt Georges Terrace, Perth Claws out!

CAN the Rock Lobster Council provide us, the owners of the resource as well as consumers, with a logical and succinct reason why the proposed arrangement relating to the increased catch and share for the home market – West Australian consumers – was rejected by the industry?

Their rejection of the proposed arrangement means that all catch is marked for export.

Rejecting and ignoring the WA consumer having access to this food at a reasonable price and the potential employment of thousands of West Aussies in tourism, hospitality and the proposal shows selfish arrogance.

Underpaying foreign workers is discriminationI RECENTLY came across an article in your newspaper titled “Working the system”, about temporary migrants and working holiday visa holders being underpaid in several 7-11 outlets.

This issue has prompted me to consider how Australians treat people from other nationalities.

I feel that Australians are beginning to treat foreigners worse and worse over time, with the emergence of extremist religious terrorist groups only stoking the fire.

It is true that what these people are doing is terrible, but it does not warrant discrimination against people without the same radical

voice mailideology but the same religion.

Since many people are not militant, they are not treated by white people the same, since they can be punished for it (though some people still do, shown in the recent Christchurch shooting).

I believe that doing things such as underpaying foreign workers is a form of discrimination supposedly within the bounds of the law.

Nowadays, there are resurgent ideas of a ‘White Australia’.

I believe that the White Australia Policy was removed for a reason, and now, many people seek to deny foreigners their jobs in Australia and give them to white Australians.

Rather than forcing foreigners out of a job, it would perhaps be better to focus on creating more jobs, so that foreigners could keep their jobs and Australians could get jobs as well.

There is another problem with underpaying foreign workers.

It is taking advantage of migrants who are still settling into the country and denying them income, right when they need it the most.

It is a product of greed and again, should not be unpunished.

It shows the selfish motives of their employers, making money at the expense of others.

It is not an acceptable practice. I say again, I believe that

underhanded low-key discrimination should not go unpunished, whether or not the problem could have been prevented by the victim, and taking advantage of people who are new to the country by underpaying them to further the employer’s profits.

THERE’S still time to catch some cool and reflective events at National Reconciliation Week which finishes up on Monday (June 3).

In Bayswater today (Saturday June 1) there will be a Noongar language and cultural session at Maylands Library at 10am.

Led by language teacher Carol Foley, participants will learn about colours, numbers and greetings in Noongar.

Recently Bayswater council has taken steps to strengthen its relationship with its Aboriginal community.

“We are incredibly proud to have handed our draft reconciliation action plan to Reconciliation Australia, paving the way for the city’s unique reconciliation journey,” wrote councillor Filomena Piffaretti.

“After officially endorsing the Uluru Statement from the Heart, we now have the statement proudly displayed at the entrance of council chambers as a reminder of our commitment to reconciliation.”

The centrepiece of the week’s event is the Walk for

Reconciliation, a symbolic march through the streets of Perth’s CBD that was attended by 4000 people last year.

“This is an opportunity for people to immerse themselves in our First Peoples’ culture, contribution and ceremony,” said ReconciliationWA, which organises the event.

“Elders, artists, dancers, story tellers, musicians and the extended First Peoples’ community welcome you to share their knowledge of the country, we all call home, by getting involved in the cultural activations.”

MarchIf you get your Voice early, the

march starts at noon, Friday May 31 at Wardang Gardens (beside the RAC Arena) and finishes at Yagan Square at 1pm.

More than 140 street banners promoting the march and Reconciliation week are on display in prominent Perth locations like Elizabeth Quay.

The banners feature the eye-catching work of Valmayi Nampitjinpa, an artist based at Tjarlirli Art Centre in the

Ngaanyatjarra Lands of the Western Desert, about 350 kilometres north-east of Warburton.

Throughout Reconciliation Week the Trafalgar Bridge in East Perth is lit up in the red, yellow and black of the Aboriginal flag.

WA Police have also marked Reconciliation Week with the launch of their inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan.

Under the plan Aboriginal flags will fly permanently all WA police stations, Aboriginal people will acknowledged as traditional owners in signs at police buildings and WA Police will investigate giving officers Aboriginal language lessons and upping the number of Aboriginal recruits.

Officers will also make more visits to Aboriginal communities and Aboriginal artworks will displayed at certain police facilities.

The theme of this year’s Reconciliation Week is “Grounded in Truth Walk Together with Courage”. To find out more go to www.reconciliation.org.au/national-reconciliation-week/

Reconciliation roundup

Dark ages in StirlingSTIRLING residents are installing fewer solar panels than residents in any other Perth council area, prompting the city to develop a new Community Energy Plan.

Stirling mayor Mark Irwin said he was shocked by the low solar take-up, which was revealed in the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics report.

He says the city’s proposed energy plan will help residents switch to more efficient appliances and renewable

energy. “There are a lot of ways we

could support residents such as offering upfront discounts or rebates on agreed items to reduce the overall cost,” Cr Irwin said.

“But, to find out how we can best cater for our residents so they can make changes for the better, we need everyone’s feedback and ideas.”

Cr Irwin is encouraging residents to complete a survey on the city’s Your Say website by June 17.

A series of workshops this month will also provide opportunities for residents to share their thoughts:

• Tuesday June 4 at Stirling Leisure Centre, Herb Graham Mirrabooka from 10am-noon

• Tuesday June 11 at Leisurepark Balga from 6-8pm

• Saturday June 15 at Stirling Community Centres, Tuart Hill from 10am-noon

IF you like black humour, A World of Dark Comedy will be right up your

sardonic alley.Now in its second year, the

Perth festival screens comedy shorts from around the world that were deemed a bit too confronting for the more-established Over the Fence Comedy Film Festival.

Founder Greg Coffey says they have 13 delightfully black comedies lined up for this year.

“Filmmakers let their weird and crazed interpretations run wild in a festival that was made to show their imaginations, from the edgy, grisly, outrageous, cheeky and twisted side of comedy,” he says.

Buttons“They are bad, they are

wrong, they push all the wrong buttons – but they are awesome.”

Writer’s Workshop, by US filmmaker Ryan Francis Johnson, is about the fall-out from a brutal critique of an author’s work.

“It goes too far, way too far,” Mr Coffey says. “It’s awesome and there’s payback.”

Mt Hawthorn director Kaleb McKenna’s highly-regarded Setting Them Straight has already screened in US, Russian, Indonesia and St Kilda film festivals.

It’s the darkly hilarious story of a young man who has to “come out” as straight to his parents.

UK director Danny Pattison’s Refugees Welcome Here was so confronting one of the selectors didn’t want it shown.

“Because it reminded him too much of his family,” Mr Coffey says.

The protagonist, Helen Matthews, is a proud Londoner

IT was only 11.30am but lunch-goers were already starting to file into the Chu Bakery in

Highgate. Clutching one of their tuna

baguettes ($7.50) I made the most of a gloriously sunny autumn day and headed across the road to Hyde Park.

The in-house bread was wonderfully crunchy and the tuna and mayonnaise had a pleasant zing, perfectly balanced by thinly sliced cucumber and plenty of rocket.

Arriving back at Voice HQ with boxes of decadent sweet delights, there was no shortage of volunteers to put them to the test.

Even the reclusive accounts team emerged from their bolt-hole to sample the gooey treats.

A huge lamington ($5.80), lemon cheesecake, praline and chocolate eclairs, strawberry and cream tart, ($5.50 each) and a coconut croissant ($5.20), all disappeared in next to no time.

Fluffy“The croissant is a perfect balance

of sweetness and savoury; it’s light and fluffy without sacrificing flavour,” office manager Bryan said.

“It’s nice and buttery as well, and really yum,” accounts young gun Lindsay said.

“My favourite was the croissant,” sales director Natalie chimed in.

The creamy cakes and tarts went down a treat, and the light choix pastry eclair filled with hazelnut praline was a big hit with accounts newby Maisy.

“It’s chewy and a bit like a churro,” the millennial said.

Grazing on a lamington she opined: “It’s light and fluffy and has a really good amount of coconut, not like the ones in the supermarket.”

Sales rep Ange was a fan of the lemon cheesecake.

“It’s nice and tasty, not overly sweet and not heavy,” she said.

Hailing from Germany, staff member Heike is known for her tough stance on anything substandard, especially food.

But she reckoned the strawberry tart had a good balance of flavours.

“It’s German-endorsed now,” she declared, licking cream off her fingers.

“There’s something homemade about it, it tastes of grandma’s cooking.

“In a world of packet food this gives me faith.”

PERTH startup Inova Medical is set to do a pilot trial of its innovative “Abcease” device

with Royal Perth Hospital.Most patients referred to hospital with

an abscess need a general anaesthetic and have to go under the knife.

They often end up taking up a valuable hospital bed for two or three days as the procedure is non-urgent and they are “bumped” from theatre lists.

The single-use Abcease device can be used to treat patients under a local anaesthetic, and is a one-stop solution for penetration, drainage, and collection.

Patients are out of hospital quicker and there’s less strain on the health system.

The device is also an alternative treatment for elderly patients and others who can’t have a general anaesthetic.

Abcease was the brainchild of three talented Perth locals - research scientist Melanie White, consultant general surgeon Dr Ming Khoon Yew and bioengineer Dr Alex Hayes.

“We recognised that skin abscess treatment hadn’t changed for a very long time; it often involves a multi-day stay in hospital, general anaesthetic and an operation,” says Ms White.

“Not only is this costly and creates congestion in an already-burdened health system, it is inconvenient for patients

who are away from home, work and their families for several days.”

A recent study of start-ups across Australia painted a grim picture, but since forming in 2017, Inova Medical has gone from strength to strength with its Abcease prototype performing well in pre-clinical trials over the last three years.

Recently it took part in the CSIRO’s ON program, which helps start-ups transition to commercialisation, and Inova is hoping to release Abcease within the next five years.

RemoteMs White says the device could

potentially help patients in remote rural areas.

“Initially, Abcease will be used in hospitals as an alternative to surgery,” she says.

“However, one of the benefits of Abcease is that is has the potential to be used in a range of settings.

This includes metropolitan hospitals and GP surgeries, as well as country health services in rural and remote areas where it can be a very long trip to hospital.

“We are also exploring the possibility of its use by nurse practitioners.”

Ms White says the Abcease pilot trial will also involve Curtin University.

There has been a 48 per cent increase in hospitalisation due to

cutaneous abscesses in Australia between 1999-2008, but the treatment of skin abscesses has remained relatively unchanged for the last 50 years.

Whilst considered relatively benign, abscesses are a significant precursor to major medical conditions like sepsis, infective endocarditis, osteomyelitis, necrotising fasciitis and septic arthritis.

Data from Royal Perth Hospital shows that 60 per cent of patients presenting to emergency for treatment of deep subcutaneous abscesses were admitted under the surgical team for in-patient, in-theatre incision and drainage.

Australia-wide, the annual hospitalisation rate for abscesses is about 62 per 100,000 population and rising.

RESTORING an old bank in North Perth was a labour of love for its owner, award-

winning photographer Denise Teo.The Fitzgerald Street branch of the

The Bank of New South Wales was opened in 1938, but when Teo bought it in the 1990s it was being leased by ANZ.

Ceilings had been lowered, unattractive fluoro lighting installed and the floors were covered in carpet squares.

She took her time restoring the art deco building, designed by renowned architect firm Hobbs Forbes, including reinstating the soaring 4.5 metre high ceilings and uncovering and polishing the jarrah floor boards.

DarkroomIt’s been Teo’s photo studio and

gallery for more than 20 years, and the only room not restored to its former glory is the darkroom.

“I left it to show what the building was like.”

Downstairs is a sweeping gallery space with massive windows and a recessed ceiling.

Six Belgian up-lights in the floorboards cast a 30-degree beam of light, creating a theatrical atmosphere.

Beautifully restored jarrah stairs with acorn finials lead to the second level, which was the bank manager’s family home until 1976.

“His son, now in his 60s, came in

Picture perfect – you can bank on thatDownstairs is a sweeping gallery

space with massive windows and a recessed ceiling

and said he’d lived here,” Teo says.The huge studio/portrait room,

across the front of the second level, was the family’s lounge and dining room, and the rear kitchenette was once a kids’ bedroom.

New owners could use this fantastic art deco property as commercial premises, but it would also make an amazing home/office.

Although there are toilets on both floors, there’s no proper kitchen or bathroom, but there’s plenty of space to put some in.

The building is heritage-listed but some works are permitted without planning approval, such as interior fit-outs.

This stunning property in the heart of the Fitzgerald Street strip with cafes, hotels and shops in every direction.

AstrologyAstrologyJune 1 – June 8, 2019

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Change is important. You get bored very easily at the best of times. At the moment

change is moving in gentle ways. Mars is in Cancer, chasing nourishment and nurturance. Without these things as your foundation, nothing else really has much fl avour. Desire this, with a light touch.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)Life is feeding you with blessings. There is a lightness and positivity in the air that is

unmistakeable. When you go to push against obstacles, it turns out there are no obstacles there. Venus and Uranus together are keeping your love life interesting. Your optimism grows when shared with friends.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)The Sun and Mercury are in Gemini. Change is afoot. It seems to be

coming in softly. Perhaps it is a gentle change. The idea that we have to go up the hard path, is due to be dismissed into the wastepaper basket of history. Give battle mentality the fl ick. Consider options in a new light.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)There is a lot of energy coming your way. You have Mars in your midst,

taking you out of your comfort zone on a more than regular basis. You have a very favourable fl ow coming through the ether from Neptune, who is the instigator of longing and dreams. Remain honest with yourself.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)Life is a paradoxical beast. If you expect others to adhere to one way

of being and seeing, you’ll do yourself an injury. The passage of the Sun through Gemini reinforces the idea of multiplicity and difference. Be big enough to appreciate unity in difference. It’s a good base to work from.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)If you fi nd yourself being more chatty than usual, it’s because Mercury is in the sign

of Gemini, loosening your tongue. The moment you loosen your tongue, your ideas will be challenged. That’s just how it is. Respond to the challenge playfully. Avoid the impulse to arc up or run away.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23) Life is applying the brakes. Venus is in Taurus, bringing you to earth. Practical

reality is poking its nose into your dreams and insisting on being attended to. If you listen to the cues, you will come up with all the appropriate manoeuvres to elegantly extract yourself from any tricky position.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)The Taurus Moon at the beginning week will wake you up to the fact that

you need to wake up. There’s only so much drifting that life will allow, and then it’s time to come to our senses. It is your freedom and responsibility to fi nd your individual voice. Do the work. Enjoy the results.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)Jupiter is opening up your relationships. Whether we intend it or not, our view of life

is limited by the past, by what we’ve learned up to this point. Life always has more up its sleeve. Existence is offering all sorts of challenges to you, to expand your sense of what love is and what it can be.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)Don’t fall into the trap of resisting progress. The pendulum is swinging.

The temptation to try to prevent it is strong. As soon as one holds a position dogmatically, blindness sets in. It doesn’t matter what position that this is. The capacity to be delighted will keep you sane and on track.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)Love of the earth is presently driving dynamic changes. Uranus has moved into

Taurus. The provocateur of liberation is now fi rmly focussed on shifting our foundations towards delight and away from exploitation. It makes practical and aesthetic sense to care for our existential home.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Decide whether it is your heart that is running the show, or your rationale.

Nobody is better set up astrologically than you, to have some sense of context, of overview. If you take the long view, you will listen to your heart. If you get caught in short-term politics and bickering, you will miss it.

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE With Singing The Sweet Thursday Singers are making our annual trip

to Lesmurdie to sing for the folks at the Villa Maria retirement village there. Our excellent bus drivers, Chris Sharpe and Ian Hilton, are preparing not only to drive the bus but make up most of our lively tenor section. After a gentle drive up the hill together, we generally have lunch at a cafe and then sing a dozen or so songs for the residents. After a cuppa and some afternoon tea, we generally fi nish with a singalong of some older favourites, so the residents can have the fun of singing with the group. As a community choir, we enjoy the chance to perform for an audience that may have more diffi culty coming out to see live performances, and giving them the chance to remember old favourites and join in the fun. It’s also a good way for new singers to try out performing with a choir for the fi rst time, and gives us a chance to try out this year’s new songs. Community choirs like The Sweet Thursday Singers have a lot to offer their members and the community. If you’d like to try out singing with us, come along to Highgate PS Junior School in Bulwer Ave (off Lincoln St) on a Tuesday at 7-9 pm. No audition, and the fi rst three rehearsals are free. Contact Stephanie on 0405 630 036 or fi nd us on Facebook

• From page 1activations to add to rebuilding of the Beaufort Street brand.

“With new funding opportunities, new nooks and crannies to explore and activate and new businesses to work with, we are going to love adding new members to our Beaufort Street business family.”

Stirling mayor Mark Irwin said the three parties had been working on projects individually and hopes collaborating will bolster results.

Along with extending BSN activities north of Walcott St

and a digital/social marketing campaign to be launched June 10, he says Stirling’s working on a new draft policy to encourage local businesses to use footpaths for street trading and alfresco dining, and he says “we think this will make a significant difference.

Support“We all acknowledge there is

a real need for support here and we are all committed to working together to provide it and help solve this complex problem,

together,” Mr Irwin said.Other measures in the

pipeline include Vincent council spending $75,000 on a ‘light up the strip’ project, starting with illuminating the Beaufort Street sign, and an investigation into a second public space to complement the Mary Street Piazza and have events where people can wander between the two spaces.

Perth MP John Carey says the problems won’t get solved if they’re not addressed: “We need to be frank: It’s a ghost town,” he says, partly blaming

unrealistically high rents and a lack of shopping diversity.

“As someone who’s had a long connection with the street—I founded the Beaufort Street Network, I cofounded the festival—there is no doubt that it is at severe crisis point...it is now requiring drastic action.

“We need the property owners to come to the table. We need to look at the rent situation.

“One retailer said to me they’re leaving Beaufort Street to go to King Street because the rent is cheaper.”

Thaw to tackle retail crisis

by DAVID BELL

THERE have been growing calls to bring back the Beaufort Street Festival to revive the street, but festival co-founder John Carey says it’s not the answer.

“A one-off event, in my view, doesn’t answer or address the key challenge of rents and a mix [of shop types],” Mr Carey said.

“A booze and food fest is not the answer.”

The popular festival was largely run by tireless volunteers from the Beaufort Street Network, with some funding from Vincent and Stirling councils.

Mr Carey said he used to put in 20 to 30 hours a week for six months to get the festival ready.

“I had no commercial interest, and we worked our guts out to make that festival happen, and it’s a lot of time, energy and resources.

“Many of the alcohol businesses did not sponsor it or invest in it.”

He says “some bars would have their biggest day in sales, yet give little to no financial help at all.

• The festival used to bring a lot of people to the street, for a day.

Call for festival return

“The irony was noted: volunteers with no commercial interest working their guts out to deliver profits to businesses who would not invest in the festival”.

The festival ran from 2010-2015, and it was a big day for traders.

But one day’s business wasn’t enough to counter the

long term downturn: Bodkins Bootery reported a record trade during the 2011 festival but they still closed that branch shortly afterwards.

In 2016 the Beaufort Street Network decided to focus on smaller events throughout the year, rather than one big annual event. So far they’ve

held speakers corners, the Dogtober dog show, the Christmas Festival, and the “Art on Beaufort” street gallery show, where the utilitarian Water Corp banners for the mains replacement project have been festooned with artwork to help turn the disruption into an attraction.
