Saving the Banks Precinct

Whatever happens in the legal action or with Barnett's proposed City of Perth Act, the Banks precinct will stay with the rest of Vincent.

The Minister has accepted the LGAB recommendation with respect to Bayswater that includes two changes to the Bayswater proposal in the Banks area:

1. Retention of the Banks precinct in the City of Vincent; and

2. Transferring land bounded by Ellesmere Street, Mitchell Street, Stanley Street and Guildford Road from Bayswater to the City of Vincent (see map, right). 

A small but important victory for common sense.
