mushrooms a slow burn of earthy savour and second-wave forest floor funk these mushrooms are a cut above what you’ll find in most supermarket fruit and veg aisles Just as surprising as the qualities of these mushies is the setting in which they’re grown: an urban farm hidden in the lush surrounds of Kardinya’s industrial estate Save for a doorbell with “The Mushroom Guys” scribbled beneath it in pen unassuming and out of sight – much like its owners Make sure you're subscribed to our newsletter today Considering the Mushroom Guys started trading in December 2018 Part of their success – at least if dish shots on Instagram are anything to go by – is offering customers something different When was the last time you saw swordbelt mushrooms down at the shops Mushrooms are harvested and delivered on the same day sometimes even on the same day they’re ordered “It’s common to get [same-day orders by text] message at midnight and 1am,” says Acquado The farm itself is a series of temperature- and pressure-controlled rooms Each five-kilo block of mushrooms begins life as a substrate: a combination of local jarrah sawdust and soybean hulls that are mixed twice a week in-house This growing medium is then packed in plastic bags sterilised in what’s best described as a substrate sauna then taken to a sterilised lab where they’re inoculated with mushroom spores and sealed it’s probably cleaner than a surgical room.”) From there the bags of inoculated substrate go into a temperature-controlled incubation room where the mycelium – the part of the fungus that produces mushrooms – is allowed to develop and multiply before going into a humidity-controlled fruiting room where the mushrooms appear Of the 11 varieties grown by the Mushroom Guys pink and yellow oysters are the fastest growing shiitakes and chestnuts can take up to four months from start to finish – and this extended production time reflected in their price (Maintaining the various rooms at the correct temperature is one of the bigger costs involved with running the farms) Dig a little and you’ll find much to like about the story of the Mushroom Guys No-waste advocates will be pleased to hear that the jarrah sawdust and soybean hull used to grow mushrooms are both by-products The farm’s metropolitan address makes for a smaller carbon footprint when making deliveries and there’s an endearing DIY aspect to the whole outfit – starting when the owners used the internet to teach themselves the fundamentals of mushroom farming The duo also spent two months building the facilities hung the air conditioners and designed their urban farm from scratch A 55-kilogram cement mixer is used to combine the substrate the mushrooms are grown in But the most compelling argument of all remains the mushrooms themselves roast and sauté the contents of their regular Mushroom Guys order these mushrooms are delicious enough to eat raw To taste these shrooms straight off the growing block is to experience mushrooms anew In addition to supplying your mushroom fix to restaurants around town the Mushroom Guys also sell fresh and dried mushrooms direct (pick-up and limited delivery are available) And mushroom growing blocks are available for budding fungiculturalists with kits taken straight from the farm’s production line themushroomguys.com.au A New App Fights Food Waste With

Knowledge: Teassential Competes for the Caffeine Crown in the Coffee-Obsessed CBD Shopping centre owner-developer Con Berbatis has unveiled a $100 million-plus plan to redevelop Kardinya Park Shopping Centre with preliminary designs calling for apartments a cinema and a comprehensive suite of food and beverage and recreational facilities Mr Berbatis recently appointed architecture firm Hames Sharley and planning firm Element to create design concepts for Kardinya Park which currently has around 13,000 square metres of retail space and is anchored by a Coles supermarket and a Kmart department store Concept plans suggest that retail space will double to more than 26,000sqm while the shopping facilities could be complemented by entertainment and recreational facilities such as a cinema and a comprehensive food and beverage precinct Mr Berbatis said the exact makeup of the entertainment and leisure component would be finalised throughout the planning process but the aim would be to create a new town centre for Kardinya The Kardinya Park plan will be presented to the City of Melville design review panel this week with a formal development application expected to be lodged in early December Mr Berbatis said the project team would engage closely with the local community to help shape the recreational and shopping aspects of the development “This centre will be a new generation shopping centre,” Mr Berbatis told Business News and of course the big development has been the emergence of online shopping “Shopping centres these days need to adopt a number of models what you have got to do is slip into things that aren’t so available on the internet we have got to look very carefully at shopping centres becoming more family and community oriented who until this year had a long-running partnership with private developer George Atzemis said inspiration for the centre’s redevelopment came from new shopping centre builds on Australia’s east coast and in the US He said he was keeping his options open on the multi-residential component with the possibility of selling the rights to develop apartments to another developer “We knew about three or four years ago that the centre had residential potential,” Mr Berbatis said “The City of Melville has been very encouraging local councils are happy to consider height and apartments because east of the shopping centre you have got Murdoch University which has around 2,200 staff and more than 17,000 students “Then you have the Fiona Stanley Hospital complex sleepy suburban shopping centre whose biggest offering for three decades has been a Coles and a Kmart is being transformed into Perth’s latest “town centre” complete with a mega-mall Kardinya Park is a utilitarian centre with no frills pedestrian-repelling car park where previously the only claim to vibrancy had been local swap-meets with South Street/North Lake Road intersection front left corner But with its prominent spot at the South Street-North Lake Road intersection the closeness of the activity hub formed by Murdoch University and Fiona Stanley Hospital and the competitive advantage provided by the indefinite postponement of a $750 million upgrade for nearby Garden City Public comments have opened on owner-developer Con Berbatis’ $100 million redevelopment application an explosion in retail space from almost 14,000 to about 21,000 square metres Artist's impression of the entertainment precinct Concept plans from architects Hames Sharley and planners Element also show a new multi-deck car park a “wellness” precinct with potential medical to facilitate the height and density increase that would be required to include the apartment block the developer will this month submit an Activity Centre Plan to the state government This would also mean rezoning the residential streets falling within 400 metres of the shopping centre facilitating the development of medium-sized apartments and townhouses within what is currently a leafy older suburb dominated by single family homes on large blocks The plans reflect multiple trends in Perth’s retail and urban development Activity Centre Plan area.Credit: Element to surround retail redevelopments with high-density urban infill projects in line with state planning strategy to build more homes close to major roads public transport links and high-activity areas One example is the 94-home apartment block going up as part of the $800 million Karrinyup Shopping Centre redevelopment; another is the rezoning around Westfield Booragoon (formerly Garden City) and the resulting proliferation of townhouses and small apartment blocks in streets bordering the shopping centre’s borders despite AMP Capital putting its planned upgrade on ice The second trend is that of suburban mall owners rounding out their offerings to make them family-friendly destinations combining the traditional charms of hassle-free parking with the kind of entertainment recreation and dining options that encourage people to spend the day there licensed venues and inviting alfresco areas independent retail strips in inner-suburban Perth suffer Parking is always more difficult and expensive on the strips which seek to compete on character grounds but see clientele increasingly lured towards super-malls' convenience and comfort The Kardinya Park project is also an example of the growing hand developers can take in planning matters in Perth as they have for some years now been able to propose precinct rezoning plans to the WA Planning Commission to up-zone areas wider than their immediate development sites The City of Melville has opened the plans for public comment until January 31.

An $80 million redevelopment application to turn Kardinya Park shopping centre into a major commercial and residential hub could be subject to long delays despite recent government moves to fast-track all high-value developments to kickstart WA’s recovery Kardinya Park’s biggest offering for three decades has been a Coles and a Kmart but the proposal is to transform it into a “town centre” complete with cinema Plans for the prominent corner of North Lake Road and South Street: the council's design review panel says putting a mechanic on this spot is a "wasted opportunity" to activate the street To facilitate the height and density increase required to include the apartment block as well as the development application for the central site the developer was supposed to submit an activity centre plan for the wider area This would provide a framework to rezone the residential streets within a 400-metre radius bringing the potential for apartments and townhouses to be built within the leafy The developer had flagged delivering the draft activity centre plan in January starting building in June and finishing the build next July but only ended up submitting the planning document a fortnight ago So instead of recommending the joint development assessment panel approve or reject the development application, due for consideration at its June 8 meeting the City of Melville has recommended the panel defer until the activity centre plan is endorsed This is a fortnight after the government announced it would fast-track all development applications worth more than $30 million, given the state's dire economic situation State planning policy states ACPs should be endorsed before major developments are approved unless “exceptional circumstances” are demonstrated The contentious activity centre plan for South Perth is still awaiting finalisation a year after the council first advertised it for public comment a year that included the Planning Minister stepping in to force the process forward The Kardinya development proposal that the plan centres around is not uncontroversial: the council received 121 submissions in support and this one looked nice and had good amenities and dining options But it also received 70 objections saying the development was unnecessary and bulky and would cause traffic They highlighted the lack of planning controls A further 163 signed a petition objecting to the height of the apartment building The car park levels are a major bone of contention for the council Melville council’s design review panel also doesn’t support the park centre design with three critical issues outstanding: absent planning controls the bare “un-wrapped” look of two above-ground car park levels and a lack of attention given to activating South Street with through design and ground-floor tenancies The state planning department advised the council Morley Galleria and Karrinyup Shopping Centre redevelopments were determined in the absence of ACPs “under circumstances that may reasonably be considered exceptional” but the council did not consider these examples comparable And while a broader-brush planning framework exists for the Murdoch hospital and university precinct officers said this lacked the necessary level of detail for Kardinya They said deferral would provide a policy framework against which the development could be accurately and appropriately assessed WAtoday asked Planning Minister Rita Saffioti whether she considered this a project that could help the state's economic recovery whether the pandemic counted as "exceptional circumstances" and whether she was considering stepping in to either fast-track the application without an activity centre plan Ms Saffioti said the purpose of the planning reform legislation currently before the Upper House was to fast-track major developments that would create jobs and stimulate economic development “It would be premature to pre-empt decisions for upcoming

Sales activity remained strong in Perth in 2022, with the average weekly reported sales figure in sitting at 895 \\u2013 up from 870 in 2021. \\u201CWe anticipate sales volumes to remain at about this level in 2023,\\u201D Hart said. \\u201CCurrent listing levels are 10 per cent lower than they were this time last year and almost 34 per cent lower than what they were three years ago. \\u201CAs building completions increase over the next 12-18 months we anticipate listings will start to increase, however they will remain below historic averages.\\u201D The Morning Edition newsletter is our guide to the day\\u2019s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights. .

(WA Police) Link copiedShareShare articleA man attacked with a brick by two men in the Perth suburb of Kardinya has urged witnesses to the incident to contact police. The 38-year-old victim says he was attacked after leaving a service station on South Street about 11.30 pm on Thursday, November the 17th. Ethan, who does not want his surnamed revealed, says he suffered a deep cut to the back of his head and needed a titanium plate inserted in his face for a fractured eye socket. "I think they are cowards," he said. "They attacked me from behind, there was two of them, there was at least one brick involved. "They were after my Ipod but by the time they asked me for my Ipod they'd already hit me several times." "I mean, if they are using a house brick they could have killed me, I could have wound up in a wheelchair," he said. "There's no telling how things could have gone; at that stage they really didn't look like they were going to stop."
