西澳州规划部门批准了位于珀斯威廉街441号的一项1000万澳元混合用途开发项目[1]。由Skypacts Property Resources公司开发的该项目将建设8层楼房[1]，超出城市规划框架允许的6层高度[1]。Metro Inner Development Assessment Panel以4:1的投票结果通过了申请[1]，其中City of Vincent议员Nicole Woolf投出反对票[1]。
该项目包含6套一室公寓和3套三室公寓[1]，配有9个住宅停车位和12个商业停车位[1]。为换取超高规划许可，开发商同意将相邻威廉街道路预留地内的停车位改为街景升级作为社区福利[1]。尽管邻近居民和当地清真寺表示反对，规划部门最终仍批准了该项目[1]。清真寺领导Mohammad Illias表示，该项目与清真寺相邻，将增加狭窄街道的交通压力，周五清真寺有数百名信众参加活动[1]。居民Robert Piper则警告称："一旦完成，就无法扭转局面。"[1]
A $10 million mixed-use development proposal on William Street in Perth has been approved by Western Australian planning officials despite local opposition.[1] The eight-storey project at 441 William Street, developed by Skypacts Property Resources, required planners to grant two additional storeys beyond the six storeys permitted under the city planning framework in exchange for community benefits.[1]
The Metro Inner Development Assessment Panel voted 4:1 in favour of the proposal, with City of Vincent councillor Nicole Woolf casting the sole opposing vote.[1] The development will comprise six one-bedroom apartments and three three-bedroom apartments, along with nine residential and twelve commercial car parking spaces.[1] As part of the approval conditions, the developer agreed to upgrade streetscaping by converting car parking spaces in the adjacent William Street reserve into improved street amenities.[1]
Residents and representatives of a neighbouring mosque voiced concerns about the project's impact. Mohammad Illias raised alarm about increased traffic pressure on what he described as an already narrow street, noting that the mosque hosts hundreds of worshippers on Fridays.[1] Robert Piper, another nearby resident, expressed the permanence of the decision, stating: "Once this is done, you can't undo it."[1]
