Women-oriented sex shop rejected, but applicants not taking it lying down |
Clay Lucas, City Reporter Publication: The Age (3,Fri 06 Jul 2007)
TICKLE n Tease, a proposed women's sex bookshop near Chinatown in the city, will not take a rejection by Melbourne's "wowser" city councillors lying down. Melbourne City Council on Tuesday night rejected an application for the adult bookshop on Russell Street, despite the proposal appearing to meet strict city planning laws that sex bookshops must be more than 100 metres apart. Councillors had knocked back Tickle n Tease on moral grounds, said Peter Reynard from Club X, the adult entertainment chain behind the application. Tickle n Tease was to compete with Bliss for Women, in nearby Lonsdale Street. Bliss is the city's only existing adult shop exclusively for women, and promotes itself as "the adult shop where women are the customers, not the merchandise".
Club X, which has 26 stores across Victoria, will go to the state planning tribunal in a bid to have the council's "wowser-ish" ruling overturned. "It's a typically ill-informed judgement from people who think this store will attract all sorts of 'undesirables'," he said. "But that's just not true - our stores attract people like you and me."
Mr Reynard said the 250-square-metre store would stock a range of erotica and sex toys, lingerie and massage oils, and have an "emphasis on ambience" to make female customers feel more comfortable. But Councillor David Wilson, a Wesleyan Methodist pastor who was among four councillors to vote against the proposal, feared it would run down Chinatown. "Cleaning up Russell Street and making it a great place to be is central to the whole Chinese cultural precinct," said Cr Wilson, part of Lord Mayor John So's team on the council. An initial council report recommended that Club X be given permission for the store. But that first report was called in by councillors, concerned about potential damage to Russell Street - previously notorious for its problems with heroin dealers. A second report, presented at Tuesday night's committee meeting, recommended the application be rejected. It said the store would affect the character and image of Russell Street. Greens councillor Fraser Brindley was one of two councillors to vote for the shop to go ahead, because it met all the council's planning laws. "Our job is to consider the planning scheme when we make decisions," he said. "This seems to have been decided on political grounds."
Only two objections were received to the proposed shop, which was to have no street signage. |
