Councillors in Perth reject a proposal for a sex-positive, LGBTQI+ exclusive club that would operate from an adult store in the CBD. Reports from Brisbane Times, The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald say the application is knocked back after councillors raise concerns about the venue’s location and appropriate zoning. Several councillors argue that the type of business proposed fits better within an entertainment precinct rather than the area where it would operate. All three outlets refer to councillors suggesting alternative locations, including Northbridge, as a more suitable area for the proposed operation. The outlets describe the application as involving sex-on-premises style offerings, positioned as LGBTQI+ inclusive. The council’s decision is reported as a refusal of the plan as presented, with councillors not accepting that the CBD address aligns with the council’s expectations for this kind of adult entertainment use. The matter proceeds as a council determination on the submitted development proposal.
