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