Stop the demolition of 9 and 11 King William St. Bayswater WA, a 1905 red brick cottage and 1919 McLeishs Grain Store.
The issue
The people of Bayswater are alarmed at the possible loss of 2 significant heritage buildings in their main street. They are worried the Council, City of Bayswater, has given permission to the developer without proper planning process.
The motion was rushed through Council early in 2015, because the sale of the property was pending granting of demolition rights.
The red brick cottage at 9 King William St. Bayswater WA is one of a pair of cottages built by the prominent builder Henry Halliday in 1905. It is a significant part of the historic streetscape of Bayswater Village. Its loss would detract from the charm and integrity of the largely intact historic area. Although it is Classification 4, we feel that because the Council Heritage building inventory has not been updated since 2006, it should be re-assessed. We want a moratorium on demolition until adequate heritage assessment is made.
The building at 11 King William St. Bayswater WA, is "Mc Leish's Grain Store", constructed in 1919, brick constuction single storey and has a direct link with 10 - 12 King William Street Bayswater, "Mc Leish's Store". This building has Classification 3. It is a representative example of an early shop in the area and has historic value for its association with the development of the Bayswater Townsite. This place has historical value for its association with the AA West and McLeish's. The buildings integrity authenticity is rated as high. Place number 11322 on Heritage Council State Heritage Office Website.
Both 9 and 11 King William St. have plaques set into the footpath celebrating the history of these two outstanding properties, as they form part of the Bayswater Town Centre Heritage Trail.
These properties represent, along with others in the local area, the founding of Bayswater prior to World War One and need to be preserved - not demolished.
We want City of Bayswater to recind the demolition permit given to the developer in February 2015. It should not have been granted with so little consideration of heritage value or referral and no public consultation. Without a strategic master plan for Bayswater Village, the proposed demolition and development of a 7 story, 27 apartment building, that takes up the whole property envelope, should not proceed.
