Its great that so many new ideas are being implemented into the Town Centre of Claremont. Now, lets focus on the neighbourhood centres, such as the one on Ashton Avenue.
I believe that mixed use developments with the encouragement for cafes or a coffee shop would really lift the profile of this area.
Lift the restrictions with the Town Planning Scheme and see how the markets react - allow reduction in car parking due to its proximity to Loch St Traino and allow a generic 'commerical' zoning.
Although the land-use needs to be complimentary to surrounding areas, its important to allow some innovation and personality into all neighbourhood centres.
