The City of Vincent doesn't allow demolitions unless there is a development approval for the property.
The City of Perth does allow demolitions with no development approval - and does so simply for the convenience of the property owner.
City of Perth has approved demolition of the Michelides Building on Roe Street, simply so that the owner can use the site as a storage and car parking site for renovation of an adjoining property - with no guarantee of acceptable redevelopment afterwards. Indeed, the owner will have the City of Perth over the proverbial barrel to subsequently approve any development (good, bad or indifferent) or be faced with a vacant block there for an indefinite period.
Mind you, Cr Rob Butler appears to think that a vacant site is better "in the context of the orderly and proper planning and the wider amenity of the area" than retaining at least the key elements of the existing building.
B*****ks, Rob.
Yet another reason for opposing the Barnett/Simpson proposed amalgamation of (most of) Vincent and the City of Perth.
