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.

'Hidden Lane'...currently a carpark, home to a family of pigeons and clad with old aircon units; it has a great sense of scale by the surrounds of vacant walls...Use these as projection screens for evening films. Could Mountain Designs construct a rock climbing wall to showcase their mountaineering equiptment? Simply an event space.

Start a weekend Farmer's Market on Bay View Terrace.

Bringing a market into the heart of Claremont would enliven the town centre and allow residents to shop locally for fresh food and produce, without having to drive to an outlying market.

It continues to amazing me why Perth won't embrace it's beautiful foreshore. Claremont has a great opportunity to provide a lovely riverside cafe (for example) which would be fantastic. Obvioulsy neighbouring residences may require some passification (if that's a word), but the cafe could be very small (coffee and cake only) and open during daylight hours. I like Michael S's idea about the indoor market too. Lastly though, I'm very very excited at the prospect of the farmers market in the Showgrounds.

This carpark couls be a great outdoor market that the adjacent fish and chip shop and grocery store could contribute to.
