FAQs

Extensive public engagement for the City of Subiaco Place Plan 2019-2022 showed that the community wants more:

• Places to sit and connect
• Playful moments
• Activation and vibrancy in the town centre.

The City of Subiaco is committed to implementing this feedback through improving the spaces at:

• Postal Walk, which links Rokeby Road and the Park Street car park
• Forrest Walk, the widest of Subiaco's iconic laneways
•  Station Walk, the plaza directly to the north of Subiaco Train Station.

Collectively, these improvements make up the SubiPOP (Public Open Places) Public Realm Upgrade.

SubiPOP will elevate the amenity, access and design of these three spaces. The design of these spaces could provide opportunities to increase the comfort of the public space by providing regular rest and seating stops; shade, wind and rain protection; solar access and outdoor social opportunities. 

That is up to the community, but to get your creative juices flowing you can view the draft concept designs here. These aren’t set in stone, and we want your input now to make sure these are places that work for you.

There will be some unavoidable closures of the spaces during construction, including to alfresco eating. The delivery program will be designed to minimise any impacts to periods of a few weeks.

Some pedestrian access between the City’s carparks and Rokeby Road may be restricted or diverted.

This project is a direct result of the extensive community engagement which informed the City's Place Plan 2019-2022.
