Northlands Shopping Centre 377 Wanneroo Road Balcatta WA 6021

I learnt today that Northlands Shopping Centre is to hav a Service Station and Liquor Store. I find it surprising that a service station is going to be placed in such a dangerous situation. Also we have enough service stations in the area. This would also be true of liquor stores. There is one fairly near on Main Street and a new one is opening on Karrinyup Road shortly. With all this proposed development it is hoped that the car park at Northlands West end will be upgraded. Parking bays are too small and the surface is awful. Elderly people find it hard to control a shopping trolley. One hopes centre management will learn from Stirling Shopping Centre, Westminster.

Completely agree with David Price. We don’t need another service station, nor do we need a liquor store!

I totally agree with everything said by David Price and others. There is already a Caltex service station on Wanneroo Road by Northlands, with another service station close by opposite Big Rock Toyota. The proposed location of this new service station will cause endless traffic problems. Entrances/Exits will be on Main Street, just 30 yards north from the Amelia Street/Main Street traffic lights, where already there is regular traffic build up and congestion many times throughout the day. There is no right turn driving north up Main Street into the Northlands site due to the hard centre island. All traffic using this proposed service station will need to drive down from the top junction of Wanneroo Road/Main Street to enter the facility. This will add more traffic to Main Street. As a resident here for many years, I consider the area is already well served with service stations and liquor outlets and we strongly object to this unnecessary proposal.

As a resident of Balcatta who lives on the Main Street for years, I must say we don’t need another patrol station here. There’s a lot of patrol station nearby already and also Main Street and Amelia Street both are not a big road, if build a patrol station there it will bring a lot of traffic to this area. It’s gonna cause lots of inconvenience to the residential house near by. We strongly disagree to this development.

I'm not quite sure why another service station is needed - there's one 200m away on the other side of the shops.
I'd really love to see development that adds to the community - a nice cafe or something that starts to lift the atmosphere and gives pleasant amenities. A nice place to get brunch on the weekend would improve the community and real estate value more.

It would be very pleasing to see a Coles express service station in conjunction with the supermarket as all other refuelling options nearby are not affiliated with Coles and Warwick is one of the closest which is not at all. Accessibility for the wanneroo rd fuel stops are difficult at best, It’s great to see the ongoing development thats bringing new life to what is a still partially dated & dull centre.

Couldn't agree with the above comments more, we certainly don't need another Service Station at this location, whose bright idea was this...!!!!!!
