I'd bet they would be for the Katy Perry concerts on Tuesday and Wednesday.rolandp wrote:What was the story with the three massive trucks on the shared path this morning?
It was known when the Arena was built that the loading dock was severely undersized for the amount of equipment needed for a large concert (they have a capacity for 4 docked semi-trailers and 2 layover bays with an expected maximum demand of 16 semi-trailers needed for a large concert) but they were meant to organise standby areas for the trucks to wait away from the Arena with any excess trucks arriving while the yard was occupied being directed back onto the freeway to avoid blocking traffic.
It sounds like rather than following the original plan and sending the excess trucks away someone has flagged them up to park on the shared path instead.
Were they parked on the Arena's "private" shared path or were they on the City of Perth's shared path? Even if they were on the "private" shared path it looks like they probably had to drive on City of Perth's path to get there.
If you can show they were on City of Perth's path then I would suggest reporting them so that the City can get down there and watch what they do on Thursday when they are removing the concert equipment.

There may also be a light to the path behind the arena. Pieces of glass sighted on Friday morning, ready to be installed.

There is no specific plan to reopen it.

There's an article in the current (Oct/Nov) "Horizons" magazine which is a suitable prompt for a letter to the editor noting the delay and requesting that RAC lean on the Perth Arena to get it fixed and reopen.

On a hopeful note, they may have also been working on the north side of the Arena as well this morning. Hard to tell as path is still closed but there were equipment being operated.

Roland, are you OK with my providing a copy of this photo to a third party (Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority formerly the East Perth Redevelopment Authority)?rolandp wrote:Image of trucks on shared path - haven't heard back from the Congestion team.

MRA have tentatively indicated that they are, in general, willing to take enforcement action against developments that are not following their development conditions and I am led to believe that the Arena's development conditions included a traffic management plan and that the TMP specifically prohibited staging trucks on the PSP while waiting for the Arena loading docks to be available (the loading docks at the Arena were known to be undersized for the amount of equipment needed for a typical concert or event so it was foreseeable that this was going to happen and I believe the TMP committed to alternate arrangements that don't seem to have been complied with). I also believe the TMP had a number of other commitments like providing managed separation between cyclists and event crowds.
If anybody else has photos of trucks servicing the Arena parked on the PSP I would appreciate links (and permission to use them). Similarly if anyone has camera footage of attempting to ride past on the Southern PSP during an event.
I will probably need to make a FOI request to get an official copy of the TMP but this has dragged on long enough without any resolution in sight and I want to give VenuesWest a kick along.

Please do. Their attitude has been, since day one, most politely described as obstructionist based on a view that they're a private company and it's all private land.Scott_C wrote: I will probably need to make a FOI request to get an official copy of the TMP but this has dragged on long enough without any resolution in sight and I want to give VenuesWest a kick along.

Well, that's it then. The way is closed.VenuesWest is initiating a review
There is no need for a review: the path was planned with the bus station in mind. The whole thing is a strawman.
This review can only have two purposes
1. to keep the path closed until the review is done
2. to keep the path closed after the review is done.

On a more hopeful basis I did get a response last week from VenueWest's FOI officer who said they had located the Perth Arena Traffic Management Plan (that VenuesWest had entered a binding agreement with the Metropolitan Redevelopment Agency to comply with as part of the Development Approval process for the Arena) and enquired as to what sections of the plan I wanted to have access to. I responded with "anything relating to cycling or truck movements into the yard" and all of a sudden there was no further response despite them having the plan in their hands. Hopefully someone woke up to the reality that VenuesWest actually do have binding obligations to cyclists and that continuing to fail to meet them could see penalties applied.Thoglette wrote:Grev wrote:Update:

I am going to continue with the process but the statutory deadlines allow them to delay responding for quite some time despite making the mistake of admitting that they already have their hands on the only document that I want.

Or do MR have their own staff for such matters?

To the best of my knowledge MR have no enforcement staff so it will either be CofP and/or WAPOL.Wixxy wrote:Can anyone clarify if CofP rangers have jurisdiction on a Mainroads psp for parking infringement matters?

I wondered if parking would also be problematic in regards city rangers. I left out WA Police as I knew they would have powers in this instance.
