COUNCIL MINUTES<br />
TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011<br />
parking in the area associated with the development and the proposal that vehicles will<br />
exit the development's car park directly opposite the entry/exit <strong>of</strong> the existing IGA etc<br />
shopping precinct and within 40 metres on the <strong>Cambridge</strong>/Jersey Streets traffic lights?<br />
Our question/request is predicated by the strong belief that without the proper planning<br />
and implementation <strong>of</strong> a traffic plan, this will be a very unsafe area for both occupants <strong>of</strong><br />
motor vehicles and pedestrians.<br />
Response<br />
The application was accompanied by a traffic management plan and reviewed by the<br />
<strong>Town</strong>'s traffic engineers and it confirms that the development will not duly impact on traffic<br />
in the area.<br />
Pamela van der Meulen, Jukes Way, Wembley<br />
Re: Item DV11.115 - Lot 43 (No 25A) Jukes Way, Wembley<br />
Question<br />
Last month, 24 residents <strong>of</strong> Jukes Way submitted a petition asking the <strong>Council</strong> to enforce<br />
its own rules with regard to separation, setback and spacing <strong>of</strong> buildings. These rules are<br />
designed to prevent property development by one land holder from harming the<br />
investment and lifestyle <strong>of</strong> their neighbours. Does the <strong>Council</strong> intend to enforce these<br />
rules without deviation in Jukes Way?<br />
If not, what does the <strong>Council</strong> say to the neighbour whose investment and lifestyle is down<br />
graded by the <strong>Council</strong> granting special favours to another individual?<br />
Is the local community given a voice in this matter? Or is this decision made exclusively<br />
by persons who don't live in the street and don't have to live with the outcome.<br />
Finally, would the <strong>Council</strong> consider eyebrow treatment for the verge?<br />
Response<br />
This item will be discussed at tonight's meeting.<br />
Mr Jim Putt, 165 Jersey Street, Wembley<br />
Re: Phasing <strong>of</strong> Traffic Lights at Jersey Street, Wembley<br />
Question:<br />
Has the <strong>Town</strong> received a copy <strong>of</strong> a Main Roads WA letter sent to myself regarding traffic<br />
signal light timing at the pedestrian crossing at the intersection <strong>of</strong> Jersey/<strong>Cambridge</strong><br />
Street?<br />
Response<br />
Director Infrastructure advised that he had not received a copy <strong>of</strong> the letter from Main<br />
Roads WA but would follow it up with Mr Putt tomorrow.<br />
