Alma Street precinct study for Fremantle City Council & Fremantle Hospital : Draft

DESCRIPTION

Corporate AuthorFremantle (W.A. : Municipality). CouncilDescriptionThe Alma Street precinct lies at the south east edge of the control area of Fremantle, at the point where the predominantly commercial use of land gives way to residential. Together with the Fremantle Oval and Prison lying immediately between it and the City Centre, it forms a buffer to the residential areas to the south and east. The Precinct is dominated by Fremantle Hospital which is a major public hospital with over 90 years of committed health care to the community. The hospital is integral to the role of Fremantle as a strategic regional centre, a role which the City of Fremantle is keen to promote. It is a key local employer with more that 1000 employees plus volunteer staff. Thus, the Hospital is important to the City in many ways: economically, socially, and medically. In most ways the Hospital's impacts on the City are positive. However, in terms of traffic movement and urban design, the present situation leaves much to be desired. Consequently the Fremantle City Council and the Fremantle Hospital have decided to jointly commission this study to examine the relationship between the Hospital and its environs and to propose ways of improving itImprintCity of Fremantle, 1996.Collation1 v.
