A $32.5 million 10-storey apartment complex is set to be built in the heart of Morley.
Bayswater mayor Sylvan Albert describes the Boag Place development as “something special” and says it will kickstart revitalisation of the area.
The development will feature 128 multiple dwellings, 400sqm of offices and 164 car bays.
It is located just off Walter Road West and close to the Galleria. “We have been waiting a long time for something like this to happen in Morley,” Cr Albert says. “Hopefully there will be a domino effect and it will encourage other business and developers to follow suit.
“We want to make Morley a regional centre.”
Cr Barry McKenna says the city has been trying for 10 years to entice a big developer into the area. “It says to everyone that Morley is open for business,” he says.
Council staffers recommended approval and it will now go before a WA local development assessment panel. The Morley city centre masterplan, endorsed by the council in October 2010, aims to rejuvenate the area with commercial and residential developments and facilities.
