Decisions
Wilberforce Street traffic investigation supported
Council noted a petition seeking closure of the western end of Wilberforce Street and supported investigating a cul-de-sac treatment through the Mount Hawthorn Precinct Traffic and Road Safety study.

Development approval at 188 Vincent Street, North Perth
Council approved outstanding components of alterations and additions to a place of worship, including six eastern car bays and removal of Tree IDs 31 and 32, subject to conditions and the continuing application of the earlier approval conditions.
The approval affects parking, trees and building works at the Vincent Street place of worship.

Topics
Business Enhancement Grant reconciliation
The 2025/26 program received 29 applications and approved 16, with a total allocation of $65,700.66. Twelve recipients completed or partly completed projects and were paid $48,506.49; $7,273.51 remains payable for partly delivered projects. Four approved applicants withdrew, and the Council Report figure of $55,780 reflects approved and progressed projects.
Outstanding grant payments and withdrawn projects affect the final amount committed under the business-support program.
Brentham Street sale costs and reserve allocation
Estimated sale costs of about $365,000 include agent selling fees, legal and settlement fees, Landgate fees and GST. Net proceeds are intended for the Public Open Space Reserve, with $500,000 proposed in 2027/28 for playground and other reserve improvements.
Residents may see future playground and open-space improvements, subject to the sale and future budget approval.
