AMENITIES
While the opening hours of businesses (particularly on Sunday) is seen to be a
key issue in the region, most of the Avon Valley’s townships are still seen to have
the basic amenities required for visitors. However, there are still several areas for
improvement.
The need for additional business/ conference facilities, particularly within the
township of Northam is an issue amongst stakeholders. It is felt that while many
groups want to travel to the region for meetings, incentives, conferences and
events (MICE), a lack of adequate facilities limit the opportunities for the corporate
market in the area. A development of additional meeting facilities is seen as
essential if the benefits of the MICE sector are to be seen in the region.
Stakeholders feel that there is also a need for more directional signage
throughout the area to draw attention to key attractions and points of interest, as
well as clear welcoming signage when entering the area. The provision of facilities
for people with disabilities, particularly in regard to heritage buildings, is also seen
as a priority for the region.
The continued maintenance of the Kep Track which runs from Mundaring through
to Northam is also considered important.
