The City is seeking community feedback about the future use of 10 Monmouth Street in Mount Lawley.

The City's Public Open Space Strategy 2018(External link) includes an action to review any underperforming or surplus land owned by the City. As part of this action, we are reviewing City-owned land at 10 Monmouth Street to determine its best possible use for the Vincent community.

To help with our review, we are asking community members to tell us how they would like to see the land used in the future.

10 Monmouth Street

10 Monmouth Street is currently a vacant block. The City maintains the lawn and provides a public bin.

If classified under the City's Public Open Space Strategy, 10 Monmouth Street would be considered a local park. The strategy outlines the minimum features required for local parks, as well as the minimum catchment of residents that the park should service. Currently, 10 Monmouth does not meet the minimum standards required for a local park, with only turf, bins and shade from a neighbour’s tree.

The Public Open Space Strategy identifies Mount Lawley as a suburb generally lacking local parks. However, it's important to note that 10 Monmouth Street does not maximise access to the park for the entire suburb.

Share your thoughts

We want to hear from our community before making any decisions about the future of 10 Monmouth Street. The City has the option to:

• Sell the land to generate funds for other parks in the City, or
• Continue maintaining 10 Monmouth at its current condition.
