City of Vincent considers Brentham Street safety petition response
Brentham Street was one of several traffic and transport matters before councillors at Vincent’s February meeting, alongside a separate petition on safety concerns at Vine Street and Hammill Lane.
City of Vincent councillors considered a response to a petition seeking safety control measures on Brentham Street at their 10 February meeting, keeping local road safety concerns on the council agenda.
The item appeared among matters approved en bloc in the public minutes for the ordinary council meeting. The minutes do not set out the full petition response in the extract provided, but they confirm Brentham Street was the subject of a formal council item.
The same meeting also dealt with another petition response on safety concerns at the Vine Street and Hammill Lane intersection in North Perth. That item was discussed separately, and the minutes record a deputation from Nathan Calleja as well as public statements from nearby residents raising concerns about visibility, vehicle speeds and near misses.
For residents around Brentham Street, the practical significance is that the petition has now been formally considered by council. The minutes support that follow-up on traffic or safety measures may occur after consideration of the item, but they do not detail any final works, designs or timing in the extract supplied.
Transport policy was also on the agenda more broadly. A proposed amendment to the Local Area Traffic Management Policy was withdrawn by administration before consideration, meaning that policy pathway did not progress at this meeting.
Other transport-related business included appointments to the Transport Advisory Group and receipt of a petition from North Perth residents calling for a comprehensive review of parking management, consultation with affected residents, targeted parking and traffic management solutions, and a commitment to maintaining residential amenity.
The minutes indicate the next steps for Brentham Street are any further response and progression of resulting traffic measures following council's consideration of Item 10.3. No construction date, funding allocation or specific treatment is confirmed in the visible record.
