Stirling City Development - Station PrecinctWork on the Stephenson Avenue Extension will start soon. I attended the first Stirling City Centre Alliance meetings and other meetings regarding future plans. Years have gone and I read numerous of the planning documents. Unfortunately the Station Precinct Development Pan covered Subareas A to G in detail and I couldn't find details about the Subarea around the train station. I still have a great interest on the development of the Station Precinct and had a look at Draft Station Precinct development plan. Unfortunately, Station Precinct Block Plan, which was a major at the consideration of the Stirling City Festival Letter 1

The City of Stirling is undertaking construction work in conjunction with Main Road on the Stephenson Ave extension. The preliminary work on Phase 1 started February 2020 and the road construction will follow. The Station Precinct Local Development Plan Adopted by Council 18 September 2018 covers the Sub Precinct area A to G, but the area around the train station is excluded. An existing development plan includes a small bridge over the freeway with a combined pedestrian/cycle path. However, the movement of people from one side of the freeway to the other side is insufficient. A wider area type bridge construction over the freeway (Figure 2) would be required to allow free movement and access to Stirling Civic Gardens. | ||||
I'm retired and do some voluntary work, for TAFE and other institutions. and keen to investigate the feasibility of putting a lid onto that section of freeway shown in Figure 2. I hope urban/town planner, developer as well as citicen of Stirling would also be interested to participate. Karl Boeing (Please contact me if you have any thougth on this issue). |
