One of Nedlands’ historic Inter-War buildings has hit the market, with offers for Portland Flats closing next week Situated on the corner of Stirling Highway and Portland Street and designed by prolific Perth-based architect Harold Krantz joining his uncle Harold Boas’ architectural firm Oldham Krantz would go on to design some of Perth’s first ever multi-storey housing developments “Between the 1930s and 1960s it is believed that around ninety percent of the flats built in Perth were designed by architect Harold Krantz, later in partnership with Robert Sheldon and subsequently joined in practice by their sons David and George,” reads the Museum of Perth’s Perth Apartments: The Krantz Legacy Other notable Krantz projects include the Riviera Flats (located at the corner of Mounts Bay Road and Mill Street they were one of the first examples of capital projects funded via syndicate) Subiaco’s Wandana State Housing Complex and the iconic modernist Mt Eliza apartment block – Australia’s first ever circular apartment building The Museum of Perth’s 2019 exhibition celebrated the architect’s influence on the city’s design landscape exploring Krantz’s ethos of functional and cost-effective housing “This premise permeated Krantz’s approach to his work – his minimalist design and maximise utility and space – leading to him forming relationships with real estate agents and preferred suppliers incorporated services and communal facilities dominated Krantz-designed housing plans.” Portland Flats is comprised of five apartments ranging from 73 to 186sqm as well as an attic (with concrete floor) of over 270sqm “The attic could give scope for the addition of more apartments or one grand penthouse looking north over Nedlands to QE2 Hospital (STCA),” reads the listing one study and two toilets is the largest of all five apartments – and has retained many of its original features including timber parquet flooring and timber panelling sliding pocket doors and charmingly retro kitchen is the smallest of the apartments at 73sqm and just one bedrooms – although a sunroom has the potential to be converted into a second bedroom Check out the listing for Portland Flats, 55 Stirling Highway here.

City of Nedlands mayor Fiona Argyle and her council could be in some strife over a digital advertisement booked on a Stirling Highway billboard which opposes a plan for a children’s hospice in Swanbourne. 6PR Radio Perth Live presenter Oliver Peterson asked the City on Friday who paid for the billboard as it includes the City of Nedlands logo, and its response was that it had been arranged and donated by the mayor at no cost to ratepayers. However, in a recent Facebook post by the City of Nedlands, it reads the digital advertisement was made at no cost to ratepayers but has no reference to the mayor or her involvement.

short distance away at 89 Broadway Both 95 and 89 Broadway form a cluster of recently approved high-density residences with others at 91 Broadway (seven storeys) and 81 Broadway (nine storeys) The development application at the centre of the most recent approval was originally rejected by planners in June over height concerns planners said the “attractive” and “well-designed” application would become an asset to the locality “I think the ripple effect it will have on the housing market and property supply goes quite deep it will go right across the metropolitan area,” panel member John Syme

Smyth voted against the approval in preference of the City of Nedland’s recommended deferral A deferral of 140 days was recommended by the city to see the landowner reduce the height of the building and increase the street rear and side setbacks to separate the building from its neighbours and increase light Smyth also voted against an August approval of a 10-storey 27-apartment block off

In order left to right across the ballot paper Personally I think it would have been better for them to use their full party name rather than an abbreviation A party must nominate five candidates for access to a group voting square A party with 21 candidate or fewer appears in a single column on the ballot paper A party with more than 21 candidates have the list of candidate split across two columns and the party has a single above-the-line square at the top of the double column The table below looks at the total number of Legislative Council candidates at elections since 1989 the average number of candidates per vacancy and the average groups per electoral region This last figure comes down from six regions to one for the 2025 election The state was divided into six regions 1989-2021 and will be elected as a single region in 2025 The number of MLCs to be elected was 34 1989-2005 Neve | Powered by WordPress The motion to defer was raised to allow time for several issues around setbacks, sustainability initiatives and parking layouts to be addressed.

This company also is owned by Ying Zhang.  Application documents also estimate the value of the project at $31.5 million.

Staples Bagels became a fast favourite when we visited them shortly after they opened last year… And while we find the call of the chicken Caesar bagel incredibly hard to resist their conti-inspired bagel is also one for the books La Mortazza’s rustic rolls will have you dreaming about daytrips through the Italian countryside… But you’ll only have to travel to North Perth Alongside their great contis and selection of panini their sweet snacks are sure to put any nonna to shame Opening in 2022, Melville General Store continued the legacy of excellent sandwiches that Angelo Street Market (their former sister venue which has since changed hands) established These guys don’t mess around when it comes to their mammoth rolls – and not only is their conti an absolute contender but their entire rotating selection of rolls is next-level bonkers good 1.2m-long “Contimental” Rolls… It just has to be seen to be believed The Osborne Park industrial area crowd may just be the toughest task masters in town when it comes to the perfect conti roll, so when you see ’em gathering for lunch at Montello On Main you’ll understand why They also serve some great summery salads and have a great many fresh food options yada yada yada… It’s the conti rolls we’re here for and Montello has got ’em on lock delish take-home meals and their excellent Rokeby Conti This, of course, really goes without saying. The home of the continental roll, The Re Store sets the standard for the sandwich in Perth And while there’ll be lunchtimes that we’ll be tempted by the pasta or the salads… we’ll always go back to the conti Opening at the tail end of 2020, the impact of Deli’s Continental is just impossible to ignore Initially emerging as a pop-up attached to Maylands pizzeria Rossonero Perth took to Deli’s conti rolls with a fervour that was Having since moved into their stylish Inglewood digs their conti remains at the top of plenty of sandwich-lovers lists but their take on a Philly cheese steak also deserves a special mention as they aptly put it: “a whole lot of provolone” Honourable mention also goes to their meatball sub While Charlie’s might not quite have reached the local celebrity of the Re Store it’s definitely an institution in its own right the 1700 square metre market incorporates a grocer butcher and liquor shop (to name just a few!) Head straight to the cafe for your continental roll – but after you’ve tucked into your roll make sure to stop by Dolce and Salato for a sneaky cannoli for dessert Morley (Corner Beechboro Road and Walter Road) Head to the North Perth plaza for this hidden gem and glorious Mediterranean meals await you serving up hearty home-cooked meals with a smile their chicken schnitzel rolls are just about unbeatable around P-town Freo locals (and those further afield) will be all too familiar with Galati and Sons Stop by for their super-duper bargain fruit and veg that are almost unbelievably cheap – seriously the sweet potatoes were 49 cents/kg the other weekend – and a similarly bargained continental roll you won’t be able to resist browsing through the well stocked grocery for your dinner as well Nestled inside awesome East Vic Park growers market Swansea Street Markets, Delissimo serve up some quality continental rolls along with plenty of sweet treats if you’re feeling particularly naughty The only trouble is the $10 eftpos minimum but that just means you gotta treat yourself to a big boy conti roll Unlike many of the other delis we’ve mentioned, Passione is a much more cosy joint the star of the show is definitely on the deli counter where you’ll see a mouth watering display of salumi olives and more (we have a lot of feelings about the marinated octopus) their offerings aren’t going to disappoint; with traditional continentals on golden as well as some more New York-deli inspired options for those feeling a little more “oy vey” than “fuggedaboutit” Kingsley (Corner Kingsley Drive and Creaney Drive) First established in 1932, before moving to East Fremantle in 1964, Lo Presti and Son are some OGs when it comes to continental delis very Freo shopfront filled with wooden crates and olive oil cans but you can get it (and their antipasto trays! We think that warrants an extra exclamation point…) delivered via UberEats The Grocer And The Chef have been steadily growing admirers since opening in 2020 – not just for their top-tier local produce Chief amongst them is their conti roll – on a house-baked baguette this bad boy is loaded up with cured meats and a healthy dose of artichoke It only takes one look at the Panini Bar’s freshly made rolls – overflowing with blushing cured meats and melanzane… A picture really says a thousand words. You will have to resist their other fresh rolls though, like that rather tantalising chilli chicken cutlet. You’ll just have to come back again tomorrow for that one! Cockburn’s Tony Ale is another classic of the conti genre. Some days you may want a high-falutin’, gourmet roll… And sometimes you want an unpretentious classic. This is absolutely that, albeit under a slightly different name. While you can get your hands on a very familiar three meat, cheese and salad roll for a temptingly low price, we reckon the Mediterranean roll is really where it’s at.
