APPROVED: $150m tower with bar in South Perth A $150 million tower in South Perth reaching a whopping 36-storeys high, with a small bar and apartment living, has been approved by the State’s planning commission. The WA Planning Commission approved plans earlier this month by owner South Link Investments Pty Ltd to build a 36-storey tower reaching over 125m metres high, featuring a three-storey podium including a restaurant, office and small bar on the ground floor, as well as 175 apartments at 86 to 90 Mill Point Road.

The South Perth development spans three lots and currently is home to a temporary sales office.  Artist impression of sunset view of the tower from the Swan River foreshore.

Submissions in support of the development referenced its design quality but a number of concerns were also raised including potential impacts of the proposed building height on the amenity of the area and traffic issues from its access arrangements.

According to a WAPC report, while the concerns raised in the public submissions could be “reasonable grounds” for refusal of the application, they had been “appropriately addressed” in the applicant’s revised plans and documentation. “The proposed development presents a high quality architectural and landscape design outcome that achieves the desired outcomes and intent of the planning framework, contributes towards the preservation of the amenity of the locality, and is consistent with orderly and proper planning,” the report said.

PTS Town Planning Pty Ltd’s Peter Simpson — who spoke on behalf of the owner — said the application for the mixed-use development was “consistent” with the recently approved activity centre plan and scheme amendment. The report said the project represents about $273.3m of investment and would create about 1800 jobs throughout the construction phase and approximately 29 ongoing jobs. Other
