Going up: new project hoped to breathe life into former Spotlight site
A MAJOR $118.9 million development is proposed to breathe new life into a dilapidated corner of the city's CBD. The former Spotlight building and run-down car park in Newcastle West are set to be transformed into two towers housing 260 new apartments and street-front retail if the proposal wins approval. Designed by Stewart Architecture and spearheaded by developer 711 Hunter Street Pty Limited, the ambitious project replaces previous plans for the site. St Hilliers and Spotlight Group secured development approval in October 2023 for two 26-storey apartment towers on the site after winning development approval for a 257-unit development marketed as West Village, but put the land up for sale the following month. In 2024, the Newcastle Herald reported that development and construction firm Bloc had purchased the site as part of a joint venture. If approved, the new proposal would deliver a four-story podium built with two residential towers rising above, one at 14 storeys and the other at 31 storeys. In total, the development would deliver 87 one-bedroom, 80 two-bedroom and 93 three-bedroom units along with seven ground-floor retail tenancies. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) lodged with the City of Newcastle said the underutilised site contains buildings in a "state of disrepair" that are "inconsistent with the desired future character" of the CBD. "The proposal will contribute to the revitalisation of the Newcastle city centre," the statement said. It went on to say the site has "excellent" access to essential services, education, jobs, open space and community facilities and "will provide public benefit by delivering diverse housing and retail opportunities, activating the site and contributing to the amenity of the public domain". The proposed design was developed in consultation with the council and the Newcastle Urban Design Review Panel. The plans include 363 carparks hidden within the podium levels, with access via Little King Street to the south. Upstairs, a communal space including a 'tranquil garden', seating areas, two plunge pools and a regular pool, a children's play area, a barbecue spot, space for a residential library or common room, an outdoor gym and shade structures would be available to residents. A pocket park would be open to the public along National Park Street, complete with a featured artwork or mural. The development application will be determined by the Hunter and Central Coast Regional Planning Panel. Public submissions on the proposal are open until July 1 at 5pm on the City of Newcastle's website.

Major fear deterring people from cycling in Perth revealed
A fear of sharing the road with drivers has emerged as a major barrier for people considering cycling in Perth, with a new survey showing fewer than one in seven feel comfortable riding on a busy street. A new RAC survey of 330 people to be released on Wednesday revealed the biggest reasons for and against getting on a bike according to cyclists. Almost a third (30 per cent) said Perth's lack of safe, comfortable and connecting bike routes was a deterrent from riding more often. Asked what would make them more comfortable on a busy street, 85 per cent said they wanted a separated bike path while 75 per cent wanted a protected bike lane. RAC's Will Golsby said the survey highlighted the need for increased investment for infrastructure as a key factor in increase cycling uptake and help manage congestion. 'WA has some good cycling infrastructure but it can be disconnected so driving becomes the default option, which contributes to congestion and diminished air quality,' Mr Golsby said. 'We need to make active travel an attractive option to entice people — of any age or ability — to walk or ride for short trips rather than take the car. RAC General Manager Corporate Affairs, Will Golsby. Credit: Simon Santi / The West Australian 'WA's population has been the nation's fastest growing over the last two years so it's crucial we work towards a mix of safe and diverse transport options to help relieve population-fuelled travel issues.' Making neighbourhoods more pedestrian and cyclist friendly was also popular, with four in five calling for the change, while two third backed increasing government spending for active travel. 'The WA Government has earmarked around $78 million a year over four years but more investment is required to get us where we need to go,' Mr Golsby said. 'We've called for more government investment to help expedite works and enable more Western Australians to feel comfortable cycling.'
