16 Feb 2010: Item P10/3108 Special Trading Precincts and Extended

Thu, 4 Feb 2010

City of Melville Ordinary Meeting

When: 16 February 2010, 6.30pm
Where: City Of Melville, 10 Almondbury Road Booragoon
Agenda Item: P10/3108 Special Trading Precincts and Extended

On 24 December 2009 the Western Australian Government Gazette published the Retail Trading Hours (Tourism Precincts) Order 2009 that established new extended trading hours for the tourism precincts of Perth and Fremantle.

Effective from 1 January 2010 general retail shops within this precinct will be able to operate as follows:

8.00am – 9pm Monday to Friday
8.00am – 5pm Saturday
11.00am – 5.00pm Sunday

In late 2009 the Retail Trading Hours Amendment (Joondalup Special Trading Precinct) Bill 2009 was presented in the Legislative Assembly and is now before the Legislative Council.

In addition to establishing the Joondalup Special Trading Precinct the proposed Act will also re-categorise Perth and Fremantle as Special Trading Precincts.

The extended trading hours for Special Trading Precincts will be as defined in the Retail Trading Hours (Tourism Precincts) Order 2009 published in the Western Australian Government Gazette of 24 December 2009.

The expanded Perth tourism precinct, including portions of Subiaco, Leederville, Highgate, Mt Lawley and South Perth, and the proposed Joondalup Special Trading Precinct, establish the basis for a more equitable allocation of Special Trading Precincts, and the option for extended trading hours, throughout the Metropolitan Region.

This concept is further sustained in correspondence to the City of Melville from the Hon Christian Porter MLA Member for Bateman and the Joe Francis MLA Member for Jandakot, both requesting the City's support for the introduction of extended trading hours within the City of Melville, and in particular in the Melville City Centre-Booragoon.
