PROJECT OF THE MONTH | |||||||||||

| Context The Subi Centro project is located 3kms from the CBD and covers some 40ha of former industrial land, generally to the north and west of the Subiaco railway station. Subiaco is a historic inner suburb of Perth, focused around the vibrant retail strip of Rokeby Rd. A key initiative was the undergrounding of the railway line that had previously divided Subiaco. The project is an exemplar of urban regeneration sympathetic to its heritage context, and has been extensively awarded. The awardwinning City of Subiaco Sustainable Demonstration Home has been built at 2 Allora Avenue. | |||||||||||

| AGENCY
: Subiaco Redevelopment Authority MAJOR DESIGN CONSULTANTS: The Planning Group MAJOR TECHNICAL CONSULTANTS: Various PROJECT TYPE: Major mixed-use urban regeneration PROJEC T SIZE: Approx 1 sq km IMPLEMEN TATION STATUS: Substantially developed LOCATION: Subiaco, Perth. Perth Streetsmart Map 372 A1 and 341 E10. Key streets include Roberts Rd West, Centro Ave and Juniper Bank Way. FURTHER INFORMATION: SubiCentro: www.sra.wa.gov.au Sustainable Home: www.subiacosustainable.com.au | Description Master planned by The Planning Group, the project began in 1994 with two years of public consultation prior to community acceptance of the final plans. Now, 10 years on, the project is nearing completion and incorporates over 1000 new dwellings with a further 350 to be constructed. Relatively dense townhouse and rear lane development predominate, but there are also apartments, live-works and shop-top housing. Subi-Centro has also provided for extensive business development. An additional 50,000sqm of commercial floor space accommodates over 3000 new employees helping support 7000sqm of additional retail. A high quality public realm has enhanced the development appeal. An additional 5ha of high quality parkland links the project area from east to west and beyond, via a network of parks, with links to the Perth Bicycle Network. Of significance is the arrangement of this development and its concentration around the Subiaco Train Station and a new supermarket-based node. Since the rail undergrounding in 1999, station patronage has nearly tripled and significant structural changes can be seen in the broader Subiaco business district as a result, with the northern end of Rokeby Road undergoing a renaissance. In the latter years of the project, attention has been given to the provision of affordable and special needs housing, some of which is under construction. The State Government target of 15% affordable housing is to be met by specific government housing projects, joint ventures and developer bonuses. | ||||||||||

MOVIE OF THE MONTH | |||||||||||

 | In Bruges Director: Martin McDonagh Writer: Martin McDonagh (written by) Release Date: May 2008 (Italy) Genre: Comedy | Crime | Drama | Thriller Tagline: Shoot first. Sightsee later. Awards: Nominated
for Oscar. Runtime: 107 min Filming Locations: Cast: WATCH THE TRAILER | ||||||||||
 |  | ||||||||||
| Academy
Award-winning writer/director Martin McDonagh takes audiences on a killingly funny
trip In Bruges, which is world-premiering as the opening-night film of the 2008
Sundance Film Festival. Mr. McDonagh makes his feature directorial debut on the film, from his own original screenplay. His plays (which include The Lieutenant of Inishmore and The Pillowman) have brought him two Olivier Awards and four Tony Award nominations. He wrote and directed Six Shooter, starring Brendan Gleeson, which earned him the 2006 Academy Award for Best Live-Action Short Film. | |||||||||||
 |  | ||||||||||
| In
Bruges was filmed on location; Bruges, the most well-preserved medieval city in
the whole of Belgium, is a welcoming destination for travellers from all over
the world. But for hit men Ray (Colin Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson), it could
be their final destination; a difficult job has resulted in the pair being ordered
right before Christmas by their London boss Harry (two-time Academy Award nominee
Ralph Fiennes) to go and cool their heels in the storybook Flemish city for a
couple of weeks. Very much out of place amidst the gothic architecture, canals, and cobbled streets, the two hit men fill their days living the lives of tourists. Ray, still haunted by the bloodshed in London, hates the place, while Ken, even as he keeps a fatherly eye on Ray's often profanely funny exploits, finds his mind and soul being expanded by the beauty and serenity of the city. But the longer they stay waiting for Harry's call, the more surreal their experience becomes, as they find themselves in weird encounters with locals, tourists, violent medieval art, a dwarf American actor (Jordan Prentice) shooting a European art film, Dutch prostitutes, and a potential romance for Ray in the form of Chloë (Clémence Poésy), who may have some dark secrets of her own. And when the call from Harry does finally come, Ken and Ray's vacation becomes a life-and-death struggle of darkly comic proportions and surprisingly emotional consequences [filminfocus.com] | |||||||||||
