COMMENT: Given that the Councils delegates on the South East Metropolitan Zone (SEMZ) of WALGA are Cr Bissett and Cr Vilaca it would seem appropriate for Cr Bissett to be nominated as the second voting delegate and Cr Vilaca to be nominated as the proxy delegate to represent the Council at the 2012 AGM of WALGA.

CONCLUSION: The Town should maintain its full voting entitlements at meetings of WALGAs 2012 Annual General Meeting.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: At the Elected Members Briefing Session held on the 5 June 2012 a question was raised as to why there was a change in practice from recommending the Zone representatives to attend the Annual General meeting of WALGA.

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

BACKGROUND: As the application involves the demolition of a structurally sound dwelling constructed prior to 1945 its determination at an Ordinary Meeting of the Council is required.

DETAILS: A development application has been received proposing demolition of the existing fibro and weatherboard dwelling at 78 Planet Street, Carlisle and its replacement with a new single-storey house. The subject property is located outside of the Residential Character Study Area and does not form part of a Weatherboard Streetscape, as defined in Councils Local Planning Policy Streetscape. The site is zoned Residential R30 and has potential to accommodate up to three Grouped Dwellings based on its lot area of 1052m2. Existing Streetscape The subject site is located on the eastern end of the Planet Street street-block located between Archer and Lion Streets in Carlisle. The site adjoins a Town of Victoria Park sump at No. 76 Planet Street, with the majority of existing development along both sides of this portion of Planet Street consisting of single storey duplex and triplex developments. A number of dwellings constructed prior to 1945 are located within the immediate vicinity of the site in close proximity to the Lion Street intersection. These form an isolated pocket of original housing stock that is otherwise surrounded by newer development constructed largely from the 1980s to the present day. Dwellings are typically provided with hipped roofs of red/orange tiles, or Colorbond roof sheeting in a range of colours. Predominant wall materials within this portion of Planet Street include red, cream and brown facebrick, and white/cream render. Existing Dwelling The existing dwelling was constructed in 1937 and features an L-shaped design with timber veranda and large gable ends facing the street. There have been no significant modifications made to the original dwelling structure aside from a minor carport addition to the side and rear of the dwelling in 2003. The dwelling includes a number of traditional design features typical of its era of construction, including a metal roof with exposed rafter ends, three-piece timber framed windows, weatherboard cladding, high ceilings, red brick chimney and a visible wall height of approximately 3.5 metres high. The front elevation includes half-height weatherboard cladding with fibro (possibly asbestos) sheeting above, with a timber and metal awning over one set of the dwellings three-piece windows. The side elevations are wholly clad in weatherboards. Whilst the existing dwelling is clearly in need of repainting and the possible replacement of several weatherboards, it otherwise appears to be structurally sound and in a good state of repair, being currently lived in by the applicant. Proposed Development The replacement development comprises a single-storey Single House with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage open on two sides. The dwelling is proposed to have a zincalume metal roof and its external walls clad in blue/grey Weathertex Primelock artificial weatherboard cladding.

11.1

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

The proposed dwelling incorporates a mixture of roof elements, having a large gable element running parallel to and facing the street, with a connecting gable that splits to incorporate skylight window panels, an overlapping skillion veranda roof which forms a butterfly roof element with the main dwelling roof, and a rear off-centred gable roof element. These various roof elements arise from the applicants wish to maximise natural light and ventilation to the dwelling. The visible wall height of the front elevation of the dwelling is approximately 2.5 metres high due to the large unrelieved gable portion of roof at the front of the dwelling. The front elevation features windows of non-traditional design, comprising full-length glass louvres to the main bedroom and ensuite bathroom, and a french door with adjoining full-length side light panel to the front entry. Discussions were held with the applicant regarding the design of the proposed dwelling throughout the assessment process, in relation to roof form, window design and wall heights. These discussions resulted in the applicants submission of amended plans on 16 May 2012, as well as a written justification received on 17 May 2012, in support of the proposed demolition and several variations to Councils Local Planning Policy Streetscape, most of which hinges on the purported sustainability benefits of the dwelling design. These include the following as advised in the applicants justification: Stack ventilation in bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 (Windows that open at the top and bottom allow cooler air near the ground into the room on still nights and release hot air near the ceiling.) Sometimes known as thermosiphon. Deciduous vines over glazing to the north to provide shade in summer and good solar access to the northern living area in winter. Full length windows to the south and eastern sides to maximize natural light. These windows will be covered with pelmets and thick curtains to reduce loss of warmer air on winter nights and reduce heat gain during hot summer days. Deciduous trees planted to the western side to shade the house from intense summer sun in the afternoon. Thermal mass in the form of concrete floors throughout. Rugs laid in the southern rooms in winter to provide extra warmth. Local native species planted in a water wise garden. Other Solar hot water system, low use water devices, low VOC paint and cabinetry to reduce harmful off gassing. Legal Compliance: Relevant General Provisions of Town Planning Scheme No. 1 In assessing and determining this application, Council is to have regards to the following general provisions of the Scheme: Clause 36 Determination of Application General Provisions Clause 39 Determination of Application for Demolition Statement of Intent contained in Precinct Plan P8 Carlisle Precinct.

In keeping with scale and character of streetscape and designed in sympathy with existing built form particularly in terms of materials, colours, scale, form and roof pitch (hipped roof, red/cream facebrick, windows of traditional size and proportions, articulated front elevation)

Demolition of existing dwelling

Clause 3.2.9 of LPPS

Replacement development to contribute positively to streetscape and be an appropriate replacement for traditional character dwelling.

Dwelling incorporates full length windows of modern/ contemporary design. Front elevation is dominated by a large gable roof element that runs parallel to Planet Street which lacks articulation and is inconsistent with surrounding development. Visible wall height is approximately 2.5m high and of lesser height than the roof structure above. Refer above.

As above Refer Comments section below for criteria used to determine acceptability of demolition.

11.1

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

Submissions: Community Consultation: Assessment of the original plans submitted as part of the application identified several non-compliant matters with regard to boundary setback and building height requirements, which required consultation to be undertaken with surrounding property owners for 14 days. One submission was received during the consultation period from the owner/occupant of 80 Planet Street on 11 May 2012, stating no objection to the proposal with the exception of the non-compliant building height to the top of a concealed roof portion of the dwelling. Subsequent discussion held between the applicant and this owner and the Towns Officers resulted in the submission of amended plans on 16 May 2012, amending the subject portion of the dwelling roof from a concealed (skillion) roof, to an off-centre gable element, effectively reducing the wall height of this portion of the dwelling to a compliant 5.0 metres. It should be noted that the variation proposed to the visual privacy requirements of the R Codes identified above in relation to the Bedroom 4 windows/french doors closest to the boundary with 80 Planet Street was not raised with the owner/occupier of 80 Planet Street during the consultation process. In view of this oversight and given the extent of the proposed variation which may result in undue loss of privacy and overlooking into the rear yard on this adjoining property, the Council may only contemplate approval of the application (without further consultation) if a condition is included requiring the subject windows/french doors being modified to comply with visual privacy requirements or the finished floor level of the dwelling being reduced to less than 0.5m above the natural ground level immediately below the windows/french doors. Policy Implications: No impact Sustainability Assessment: External Economic Implications: No impact Social Issues: No impact Cultural Issues: No impact Environmental Issues: The applicant contents that there will be sustainability benefits gained through the proposed design, internal finish, fittings, selection of building services and plants for the proposed dwelling. COMMENT: The application proposes the demolition of the original metal and weatherboard dwelling at 78 Planet Street and its replacement with a single-storey house. Councils Town Planning Scheme No. 1 and Local Planning Policy Streetscape has a presumption against the demolition of pre-1945 dwellings, unless there are compelling reasons to justify demolition. This and other relevant issues are considered further below.

11.1

11.1

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

Demolition of Existing Dwelling Assessment of the subject application by Councils Urban Planning Unit has acknowledged the direction adopted by the Council as part of its current review of the Local Planning Policy Streetscape (LPPS) which is not to require the retention of dwellings in Carlisle and Lathlain, except where they are located within an identified Character Streetscape. The subject dwelling does not comprise part of a Character Streetscape identified as part of this review. Whilst the above is acknowledged, it does not diminish or reduce the requirements of the LPPS which seek to ensure that new development is in keeping with the scale and character of existing development and that it has been designed in a sympathetic matter having regard to its context within the streetscape. Replacement Development Councils LPPS require new development to respect existing development with regard to roof shapes, heights, pitches, materials and window design. It also requires new development to be sufficiently articulated/provide interest and to not overly dominate or adversely affect the streetscape by way of undue bulk or scale. These and other matters are considered as follows: Roof Form A mixture of roof forms is proposed inconsistent with the Acceptable Development Standards of the LPPS. The proposal also incorporates a large gable roof running parallel to the street which overly dominates and contributes to the perceived bulk and scale of the building. The large visible raking side of this roof element is not provided with any relief or articulation that may otherwise be possible through the incorporation of dormer windows, gablets or filial treatments. The relative blandness of this design and the orientation of the gable roof portion of the dwelling is inconsistent with the scale and character of housing predominating within the streetscape, that consists of predominantly hipped roof dwellings and relatively minor gable roofs, which are for the most part oriented with their gable end facing the street. Wall Height The replacement dwelling is proposed to have a visible wall height of approximately 2.5m high, which is out of keeping with existing surrounding development which ranges from 2.8 to 3.5 metres high. This low wall height emphasises the dominance of the large gable roof above which measures 3.2m in height, and is considered to give the building a squat and top-heavy appearance. Window Design The majority of dwellings found within the streetscape are provided with windows on their front elevations of traditional size and shape, being vertically oriented, with most openings occurring at waist height and having visible wall/brickwork above the opening. The proposed dwelling features full length windows consisting of glass louvres and a french door with adjoining sidelight panel. These windows are inconsistent with the Acceptable Development Standard of the LPPS and do not reflect the character or scale of windows that are found on the majority of front elevations of dwellings found elsewhere within the streetscape.

Sustainability Benefits of Proposed Dwelling Design In response to discussions held with Council Officers during assessment of the application the applicant submitted a statement outlining the proposed environmental benefits and sustainability measures incorporated into the dwelling design.

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

Aside from the benefits gained through the rear split-gable and skillion portions of roof that maximise light penetration, the majority of measures identified in the applicants justification relate to non-design related matters or matters that could be reasonably incorporated into a conventionally designed home. These include measures such as concrete floors to improve thermal mass, windows that open at the top and bottom to allow the flow of hot and cool air, the planting of deciduous vines and trees, use of native vegetation and selection of renewable/ energy efficient air and water cooling/heating systems. Such measures have no bearing on the roof form, visible wall height or articulation provided to the front elevation of the dwelling. Whilst it is acknowledged that the proposed louvre windows, being full length and able to open to 90 degrees will maximise ventilation, it is considered questionable whether their inclusion in the ensuite bathroom will contribute significantly to cross-ventilation of the dwelling as a whole and the applicant has not responded favourably to requests to include traditionally proportioned windows in combination with the proposed louvre windows. The solid rear and side garage walls would also appear as prime locations for additional windows (including for cross-ventilation purposes given their alignment with the main living areas of the house) which would also relieve these blank walls and add further interest and articulation to the front elevation.

CONCLUSION: The proposed design of the dwelling is considered to lack sufficient articulation and is not considered to have been designed in sympathy with surrounding development within the streetscape, particularly with regard to its front elevation which is considered to have an adverse effect upon the streetscape by virtue of its large and unrelieved dominant roof form, low visible wall height and lack of any traditionally proportioned windows that would provide the dwelling with a more conventional appearance that would sit more comfortably within the existing streetscape. Whilst the proposal may have been designed having regard to several sustainable design principles, the majority of claims made by the applicant regarding its environmental benefits relate to non-design related matters that bear little relationship to the provisions outlined in the LPPS, and could reasonably be incorporated into the design of a new dwelling designed in accordance with Policy requirements. It is also noted that a house incorporating traditional design elements may also be capable of performing to a high environmental standard and the applicant has not sufficiently demonstrated to the contrary. It should also be noted that one of the Objectives of the Towns Local Planning Policy Streetscape is sustainable designs and innovative designs are encouraged; however regard is still to be given to maintaining design compatibility with the existing and desired streetscape character. Planning staff are of the view that the proposed development does not meet this Objective of the Policy, in which case the application cannot be supported. In view of the above the demolition of the existing dwelling at 78 Planet Street and its replacement with a new single storey Single House is recommended for refusal.

12 June 2012

COMMENT: The design of the proposed dwelling satisfactorily addresses the majority of the requirements found within the R-Codes and Council Policy, with the exception of proposed setbacks to the secondary street frontage of the development site. Councils Local Planning Policy Streetscape specifies the requirement for a 3.0 metre minimum setback to a secondary street frontage where a property has frontage to more than one street. In this instance, significant portions of the dwelling have setbacks of less than 3.0 metres to Cookham Road, being: A setback of 2.32 metres to a 15.37 metre long section of wall comprising veranda / retreat / bed 1 / robe / ensuite; and A setback of 2.32 metres to a 6.2 metre long section of wall comprising an alfresco located under the main roof of the dwelling. A solid masonry wall of 1.8 metres in height is proposed to be constructed along the majority of the Cookham Road frontage of the development site. Notwithstanding the provision of this wall, the dwelling remains highly visible from Cookham Road, having regard to its raised floor to ceiling heights (2.914m) and finished floor level which is raised around 400 - 500mm above existing natural ground level. During the preparation of a design for this site, the designer made contact with the Towns Urban Planning Unit to discuss design parameters for the site, including requirements related to the secondary street setback of the dwelling. During these discussions, Town staff explained the requirements contained within Local Planning Policy Streetscape in relation to the provision of a 3.0 metre minimum secondary street setback. During these discussions, Town staff explained that minor variations to portions of the dwelling facing the secondary street may be favourably considered if it could be demonstrated that: the appearance of the dwelling would be improved through increased articulation (variation to the alignment of the walls on this side of the dwelling) as opposed to a design which incorporated long lengths of building on the same 3.0 metre setback alignment; and any proposed setback reductions proposed would not adversely impact on the amenities of adjoining properties or the locality generally.

Following these discussions, draft concept plans were not provided to the Town for comment in advance of the submission of a formal application for planning approval. A subsequent assessment of the submitted formal application for planning approval showed that the preliminary advice provided had not been reflected in the design which had been prepared for the site. Rather than using a 3.0 metre setback as a starting point with the possibility of small portions of the building projecting to a lesser setback to add to the visual interest of the building, the design incorporates a 2.32 metre setback with (small) portions of the building then being provided with an increased setback of 3.0 metres. Having regard to the requirements contained within Council Policy, preliminary advice provided during the preparation of the design for this site, and the characteristics of the Lathlain locality (low density development with houses situated on lots with generous setbacks and landscaped surrounds), it is considered appropriate that an increased setback of 3.0 metres minimum be provided to a greater proportion of the secondary street frontage of the dwelling than that which is currently proposed. This position has been conveyed to the applicant who has been reluctant to change the design, and accordingly the matter has now been referred to Council for determination. Possible design options that have been considered include: (a) Reducing the finished floor level (which is currently somewhat elevated above natural ground level) to reduce the overall impact of the dwelling as viewed from Cookham Road; or (b) Increasing the setbacks to portions of the wall which runs between the veranda and the ensuite. For example, the setback of the portion of wall comprising the ensuite and the robe could be increased or the setback of the section of wall comprising bed 1 and the robe could be increased. The most preferable of these alternatives is for an increase in the setback of the section of wall from bed 1 to the robe from 2.32 metres to 3.0 metres as it provides the greatest benefit in terms of increasing the visual articulation and interest of the building as viewed from Cookham Road. Such a design change would result in the stepping in and out of the building as follows: Veranda and retreat (5.9 metres in length) setback of 2.32 metres; then Bed 1 and robe (6.3 metres in length) setback of 3.0 metres; then Ensuite (3.0 metres in length) setback of 2.32 metres; then Wine store and Dining Room (6.1 metres in length) setback of 3.0 metres; then Alfresco (6.1 metres in length) setback of 2.32 metres. The stepping would occur not only in the wall, but importantly also in the roof form. As shown above, significant portions of the dwelling would still maintain setbacks of less than the 3.0 metre minimum specified within Council Policy, even with the design change that has been advocated. Increasing the setback to bed 1 and the robe would not unduly comprise the functionality of the dwelling, as each of the affected spaces has been designed with very generous proportions.

CONCLUSION: Having regard to the advice contained within this report, and in particular: Provisions of Councils Local Planning Policy Streetscape which specify a 3.0 metre minimum setback to a secondary street frontage; Advice which was provided by the Towns Officers during the design development phase of plans for a new dwelling at this site; Improved appearance which would result from a design which incorporated greater articulation to the secondary street frontage; and Overall compatibility with the surrounding Lathlain locality which is characterised by a low density of development with dwellings on larger lots situated within landscaped surrounds; It has been demonstrated that benefit would be achieved by the design being modified. Accordingly, a condition of planning approval has been formulated which requires the setback of the section of the dwelling comprising bed 1 and ensuite to be increased to a 3.0 metre minimum, in accordance with the provisions contained within Councils Local Planning Policy Streetscape. While this condition does require a modification to the proposed design, it is considered reasonable for the reasons described above and in view of the setback variations being supported by planning staff to other portions of the building fronting Cookham Road.

FURTHER COMMENTS: At the Elected Members Briefing Session on 5 June 2012, comments were made in respect to the lot width (13.42m) being a justification for the reduced setback to Cookham Road. This has been acknowledged by Urban Planning staff and forms the reasoning for support for the majority of the proposed setback variation to Cookham Road. However it is considered that the proposed 15.37m long wall containing veranda/retreat/bed 1/robe/ensuite is excessively long at the reduced setback, and the impact of the reduced setback would be minimised if a portion was to have an increased setback. Therefore notwithstanding condition 1.1, a significant setback variation to separate walls of a combined length of 21.1m, is still being supported by Urban Planning staff given the lot frontage. There was also discussion at the Elected Members Briefing Session in respect to the possibility of portions of the fence along Cookham Road being modified to open style fencing. While this would be preferable from a visual surveillance perspective and would provide greater visual interest than an entirely solid 1.8m high wall to the Cookham Road frontage, this would not resolve the impact of the proposed reduced setback. To the contrary, the modification of portions of the fence from a solid fence to open style fencing would result in the proposed walls at the reduced setback to Cookham Road being more visible and prominent. Even as currently proposed, the walls of the dwelling will project approximately 1.3m above the top of the proposed 1.8m high solid fence, plus the roof above. Therefore it is considered that the wall of the dwelling, even behind a solid 1.8m high fence, would be highly visible, and the impact would be further exacerbated at the reduced setback and excessive wall length proposed.

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

It is again drawn to the attention of Elected Members that Urban Planning staff has suggested three different alternatives to the applicant in return for the setback variations being supported to Cookham Road. The applicant has not been prepared to make any compromises to the design of the dwelling, yet seeks support for the full extent of the proposed setback variations. The imposition of condition 1.1, while requiring design modifications, is a reasonable compromise position, and would result in more visual interest in the elevation.

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

BACKGROUND: On 12 December 2006, a development application for Seven (7) Multiple Dwellings on the subject property was approved at the Councils Ordinary Council Meeting. This approval has since expired. It should be noted that the previous approved development of Seven (7) Multiple Dwellings is identical to the current proposal in terms of built form and site planning. The previously approved Seven Multiple Dwellings were based on the previous Residential Design Codes where a residential density control was applied. However, as part of the review of the Residential Design Codes 2010, the density control requirements were removed for Multiple Dwellings, where located in areas coded R30 or greater (the subject site is zoned as R60). As such, an additional eight (8) Multiple Dwellings have been proposed, resulting in a total of 15 Multiple Dwellings on the subject site. The applicant submitted preliminary concept plans which were discussed at the Design Review Committee meeting held on 7 December 2011, 18 January 2012 and 13 February 2012 in order to obtain feedback from Council Officers and Councils Design Review Committee (DRC). The following points were raised by the DRC members and Councils officers: Overall, the proposal provides an excellent level of amenity for both prospective owners, occupiers and the surrounding properties. Notwithstanding that the plot ratio exceeds the 10% permitted variation, the plot ratio variation can be supported given the design merit of the proposal and that the plot ratio increment will not result in any additional building bulk compared to the previous approved building form. Notwithstanding that Councils Local Planning Policy Streetscape requires vehicular access to be taken from right-of-way; DRC and Councils officers may consider access via Washington Street given that the subject lot is located at the end of Washington Street where the street is terminated by a cul-de-sac. The Committee has no reservations on the proposed height of four (4) storeys and stepping down to three (3) storeys towards the adjoining properties at 36 Canning Highway as it provides a smooth transition of building height from the south-western to north-eastern adjoining properties. The Design Review Committee has considered the application, and at a formal meeting held on 24 April 2012 resolved to recommend support of the application subject to conditions.

DETAILS: Council has received a planning application for 15 Multiple Dwellings on the subject property. The subject site has a lot size of 1286m2 and is currently vacant. The subject lot is bounded by Canning Highway (north-west), Washington Street (north-east) and a 5.0m wide right-of-way at the rear of the property. In addition, the site is located at the northern end of Washington Street which is terminated by a cul-de-sac.

It is particularly worth noting that the subject site is located between a three (3) storey building which is immediately abutting the subject property to the south-west (36 Canning Highway) and a site containing two (2), three (3) and five (5) storey buildings to the northeast (7-11 Heirisson Way), separated by Washington Street. The two storey building at 7-11 Heirisson Way (closest to Washington Street) has a semiundercroft carpark which is substantially raised above the natural ground level to create the impression of a three storey height whilst the presence of a 5 storey building on this adjoining property creates a streetscape with varying building heights along this portion of Canning Highway. To the south-east of the subject property (adjacent to the right-of-way), there are two storey Grouped Dwellings at 7, 9 & 11 Washington Street. The proposed development is summarised as follows: The proposed building is to accommodate 15 Multiple Dwellings which comprise nine (9) two bedroom units and six (6) Single Bedroom Dwellings; The proposed building is to have a maximum height of four (4) storeys which is confined to the eastern portion of the site and stepped down to three (3) storeys towards the south-western property boundary; In addition, a basement car park is proposed to accommodate 15 car bays for the residents with vehicular access to and from the basement car parking to be taken from Washington Street; Four (4) visitor car bays are proposed at the rear of the building with vehicular access to be taken from the right-of-way; Pedestrian access is provided via Canning Highway, Washington Street and right-ofway; The development also features a lift and staircase secured at ground level for the access of residents to all levels of the building. The proposed building is configured to maximise the street frontages (Canning Highway, Washington Street and right-of-way) through extensive use of balconies and glazing and orientation of living areas of individual units. In addition, double glazing has also been introduced to alleviate any impact of traffic noise from Canning Highway. The building faade is articulated by a series of projections and recesses and employing a range of different materials and finishes and varying building heights to create visual interest to the building form. The proposed building incorporates redeeming traditional architectural features to reflect the character of existing dwellings predominant within the Raphael Precinct such as Zincalume roof with steep roof pitch, open eaves with exposed rafter ends and red face brickwork. Legal Compliance: Relevant Provisions of Town Planning Scheme No. 1 In assessing and determining this application, Council is to have regard to the following general provisions of the Scheme: Clause 38 of the Scheme Text; Statement of Intent contained in Precinct Plan P5 Raphael Precinct; and Policy 4.12 Design Guidelines for Developments with Buildings above 3 Storeys of the Policy Manual.

Community Consultation As there are several variations proposed to the requirements of the Town of Victoria Park Town Planning Scheme No. 1 and the Residential Design Codes, the proposal was the subject of consultation for a 14 day period in accordance with Council Policy GEN3 Community Consultation. This included letters to the owners and occupiers of adjoining properties that may be affected by the development. The consultation period commenced on 13 April 2012 and closed on 30 April 2012. Over the comment period, three (3) objections were received as summarised and considered by Councils Urban Planning Business Unit in the below table. They are also included in full as Tabled Items to this report.

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes Consultation Submissions Objection from owner of 44 Canning Highway, Victoria Park Comments Received Officers Comments Building Height The building height variation will cause significant amount of overshadowing onto the adjoining property.

12 June 2012

The proposed building will not result in any overshadowing of south-western adjoining properties or their appurtenant outdoor living areas. The proposal complies with the solar access provision of the Residential Design Codes. Any development, buildings and structures are to be contained within the property boundaries and are not permitted to encroach into Councils verge. In addition, the portion of the building that encroaches within the 3.0m setback area of Washington Street is located at least 4.0m away from the nearest power lines. This is consistent with existing two-storey dwellings located south-east of the subject property (7-11 Washington Street) which have building elements of similar reduced setbacks to Washington Street. The proposed development will not reduce the width of the existing rightof-way. All development, building and structures are setback at least 0.5m from the right-of-way for the length of the common boundary with the right-ofway to allow for the future widening of the right-of-way and to facilitate access. It should be noted that the primary access to the residential car parking at the basement level is taken from Washington Street instead of the right-of-way whilst limited access has been provided via the right-of-way for the visitor car bays. The proposal complies with the car parking provision of the Residential Design Codes.

Secondary Street Setback (Washington Street) The secondary street setback variation will pose a fire risk to the adjoining properties located along Washington Street given that there are existing power poles/lines on the street verge.

Right-of-way setback The variation to the right-of-way setback requirement will result in further reduction of the right-of-way width which in turn, may impinge on vehicular access along the subject right-of-way.

Residential Density 15 Multiple Dwellings are considered to be excessive and will result in traffic and parking issues.

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes Objection from owners of 7 Washington Street, Victoria Park Comments Received Officers Comments Use of Building There is a potential for the units of the building to be used for specialized forms of accommodation (such as short term accommodation and Serviced Apartments) instead of Multiple Dwellings occupied on a permanent basis. Such alternative forms of accommodation may result in potential conflict between the short term residents and long term residents of the locality due to the transient nature of the accommodation. Vehicular access and parking The proposed development will result in traffic and car parking issues along the subject right-of-way. The proposed 15 residential car bays and four (4) visitor car bays are deemed to be inadequate.

12 June 2012

Noted A condition of planning approval will be imposed to restrict the use of the residential units as Multiple Dwellings only and does not include approval for use as serviced apartments. Any other use will require the submission of a new application for planning approval.

The primary vehicular access for the residential car parking is taken from Washington Street instead of the rightof-way. Given that there are only four (4) visitor car bays located at the rear of the building with vehicular access from the right-of-way, it is considered that the proposed development will not result in any significant increase to the traffic utilising this portion of the rightof-way. In relation to the number of car parking bays provided, the proposed development complies with the car parking requirement of the Residential Design Codes. The proposed four (4) storey high building component which is stepped down to three (3) storeys towards the south-western property boundary will provide an acceptable transition from the existing buildings located on the north-eastern adjoining property which contains a five (5) storey building and the south-western adjoining property which comprises three (3) storey buildings. In addition, the proposed variation will not result in any overshadowing or overlooking onto the adjoining properties.

Building height The overall height of the building is deemed to be excessive.

11.3

11.3

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes Visual privacy Proposed balconies facing the right-ofway will result in overlooking onto the adjoining property. Plot ratio and street and boundary setbacks Variations to the plot ratio and street and boundary setback requirements signify that the proposal exceeds the building footprint limit.

12 June 2012 The balconies and other major openings facing the right-of-way will not overlook any portion of the southeastern adjoining property (7 Washington Street). The proposed development is to be of a bulk and scale that would reflect the existing or desired built form of the locality and that the intensity of the use on the site would not give rise to conditions that would be detrimental to the surrounding residents.

Objection from owners of 101/ 1-11 Heirisson Way, Victoria Park Comments Received Officers Comments All the proposed variations are deemed to be unacceptable as it will have adverse impacts on the amenity of the surrounding properties. The proposed plot ratio, setback and building height variations are deemed to satisfy the relevant Performance Criteria of the Residential Design Codes. The proposed variations will be discussed in greater detail in the Comment section of this Report.

In addition, the application was referred to Main Roads Western Australia for comment given that the development is on land that abuts Canning Highway, which is reserved as a Primary Regional Road under the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) and is classified as a Category 3 road on map SP693/3 Development Applications Roads in the MRS under Main Roads Control. On 18 April 2012, Council received a response from Main Roads indicating no objection to the proposed development subject to relevant conditions of approval being imposed. Sustainability Assessment: External Economic Implications: No impact Social Issues: The development provides a mix of single and two bedroom units which are designed to cater for the increasing trend in smaller household sizes namely, for singles and couples who wish to live in close proximity to the city. In addition, the proposed development will result in the completion of development along the majority of this portion of Canning Highway, removing the current void in the streetscape. As such, this will provide increased surveillance of the streets. Cultural Issues: No impact

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes Environmental Issues: No impact

12 June 2012

COMMENT: The proposal is broadly consistent with the requirements of Councils Town Planning Scheme No. 1 and the Residential Design Codes, and the Design Review Committee has indicated its general agreement regarding the design merit of the proposal. Notwithstanding this, the proposal seeks several variations to the Residential Design Codes and Councils Town Planning Scheme No. 1 as outlined above. The proposed variations will be considered as follows: Plot Ratio Under the provisions of the Residential Design Codes, a maximum plot ratio of 0.7 (900.2m2) is permitted. The development proposes a plot ratio of 0.84 (1075.26m2), which equates to 175.26m2 of excess floor area. It is acknowledged that in recent years, Councils Planning Services and the Design Review Committee have typically been supportive of a plot ratio variation up to 10% variation where an application demonstrates a high quality of design and provides an excellent level of amenity for both prospective occupants and surrounding properties. However, in this instance, a plot ratio variation of 19% is proposed. Whilst it is acknowledged that this is a significant concession and beyond the extent of variation that has been previously supported for other applications, it is considered that the plot ratio variation is acceptable for the following reasons: The excess plot ratio is partly due to energy efficiency compliance where 300mm wide external walls have been provided, resulting in an additional 80m2 of plot ratio floor area. Notwithstanding that this proposal has an additional eight (8) residential units compared to the previous approved development, the plot ratio increment will not result in any additional building bulk compared to the previous approved building form. The applicant has demonstrated via an overlay of the building footprint of the previous approved floor plans over the proposed floor plans that the building envelope is similar to each other. Given that the site is at a prominent location (in terms of its proximity to the gateway from north-east and being a corner lot), the proposed development achieves a high quality design which will raise the benchmark for future developments along Canning Highway. The proposed development incorporates several traditional design elements which are predominant within the Raphael Precinct, whilst still adopting a contemporary approach to the building design which would accord with the quality and form of development envisaged for the site, as outlined in the Precinct Plan P5 Raphael Precinct. Each residential unit within the development is of a sufficient size to cater the needs of the residents and have been designed to incorporate generous living areas and balcony space in order to provide an acceptable level of amenity for prospective residents. The development provides a mix of single and two bedroom units which are designed to cater for the increasing trend in smaller household sizes namely, for singles and couples who wish to live in close proximity to the city.

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

The proposed development encourages an increase in the residential population of the part of Canning Highway and will add variety and vitality to the area, consistent with the Statement of Intent for the Raphael Precinct.

Building Height The proposed building has a maximum height of four storeys above a basement car park in lieu of the maximum permitted height of three storeys. The proposed four (4) storey high building component is confined to the eastern portion of the site and stepped down to three (3) storeys towards the south-western property boundary. It should be noted that the subject site is located between a three (3) storey building (south-west) and a site containing a five (5) storey building (north-east). As a result, a four (4) storey high building provides a transition from the three (3) to five (5) storey height recommended under the Councils Urban Design Study. Given that the existing buildings along this portion of Canning Highway have varying building heights, the proposed four (4) storey high building component is considered to be acceptable. Based upon urban design principles, taller building element at street corners is considered desirable, and therefore it would be appropriate to permit additional building height for sites leading towards a taller building element at the street corner. Furthermore, setting the taller building element away from the common boundaries provides a more appropriate scale, minimising the impact of the new development on the existing dwellings. In addition, a two-storey building element has been introduced adjacent to the right-of-way to provide a transition to the existing two storey properties at 7-11 Washington Street (south-east). In order to reduce the perceived impact of building bulk, building articulation devices such as indentation and projections, varying building heights and extensive use of balconies and glazing have been incorporated to the building faade. Blank walls are minimised on the elevations of the building so as to provide active street frontages. Furthermore, the increased building height will also reinforce the urban character of the locality by providing a defined edge to Canning Highway. It will also allow the development to take best advantage of the views that are available from the subject site, with views to the Perth Central Business District and Swan River to the north-west which will increase the level of amenity for prospective residents. In addition, the additional storey will not result in any additional overshadowing of adjoining properties or their appurtenant outdoor living areas. In its current form, the proposal complies with the solar access provisions of the Residential Design Codes. In view of the above, the proposed building height variation can be supported. Secondary Street Setback With the exception of the porch which is setback at 1.5 metres from Washington Street, the proposed development generally complies with the secondary street setback as the majority of the building achieves a setback of well in excess of 3.0 metres as required under the Councils Local Planning Policy Streetscape.

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

The porch is proposed at a reduced setback to create a strong residential entry from Washington Street. Given that the porch is unenclosed on at least two sides and integrated into the design of the building in terms of detailing, it is considered that the entry porch will not be visually dominant at the reduced setback proposed. In addition, the existing two-storey dwellings located south-east of the subject property (711 Washington Street) have building elements of reduced setbacks to Washington Street and therefore, the proposed variation to the secondary street setback will not interrupt the rhythm of the street setback pattern of Washington Street. In light of this, the proposed secondary street setback variation can be supported. Right-of-Way Setback The building generally complies with the required setback from the centreline of the rightof-way of 5.0 metres minimum as specified under Councils Local Planning Policy Streetscape for corner lots with the exception of the bin enclosure which has a setback of 4.0 metres from the centreline of the right-of-way. Given that the bin enclosure has a length of approximately 5.3 metres only (compared to the overall length of the building being in excess of 37 metres) and the main building achieves a setback of well in excess of 5.0 metres, it is considered that the reduced setback will not have any adverse impact on the creation of a new streetscape along the portion of right-of-way. The intent of the relevant Local Planning Policy Streetscape provisions is to promote the creation of new streetscapes environments through the use of existing rights-of-way. In this instance, the right-of-way serves to provide limited vehicular access to the rear of the property with the building being orientated towards the right-of-way. Additionally, the upper floor units incorporate windows and balconies that front the right-of-way and hence providing excellent surveillance of the right-of-way which would accord with the Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles. On this basis, the proposed setbacks from the right-of-way are considered appropriate in the context of its surroundings. Boundary Setback The proposed development also seeks variation to the Residential Design Codes in relation to side setback. An assessment of the plans reveals that the reduced setback of the third storey southwestern wall (Unit 9) will not have any adverse impact on the amenity of the adjoining property (36 Canning Highway) in terms of solar access, visual privacy and building bulk. Based on the submitted overshadowing plan, the non-compliance will not unduly restrict direct sun and ventilation into south-western adjoining property and still allow adequate daylight onto the outdoor living areas. In regards to visual privacy, given that the subject south-western wall features no major openings, the subject wall will not result in any direct overlooking into the south-western adjoining property.

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

In regards to building bulk, the subject wall has been articulated through detailing and glazing (minor openings) which can positively benefit the amenity of the adjoining property as it will reduce the perceived impact of building bulk. In addition, given that the subject wall is located opposite an existing three-storey dwelling on the adjoining south-western property, the subject wall poses no additional impact on the building bulk. In light of this, the boundary setback variation satisfies the relevant Performance Criteria of the Residential Design Codes and thus, can be supported. Visual Privacy The proposed development has been designed to alleviate any potential overlooking onto adjoining properties by providing highlight windows and minor openings, in particular, on those walls facing south-western adjoining properties (36 Canning Highway). However, the proposed Unit 5 and 9 balconies which are orientated towards the right-of-way constitute a variation to the visual privacy requirement. Notwithstanding that the proponent has incorporated screening on the south-western side of the subject balconies; the subject balconies still overlook a portion of the south-western adjoining property. However, based on Councils records, it appears that the subject balconies will not overlook any habitable spaces or outdoor living areas of the south-western adjoining property. Instead, the subject balconies will only overlook a portion of the common property area of 36 Canning Highway located at the rear of the building. In this regard, the proposed visual privacy variation is considered to satisfy the relevant Performance Criteria and therefore, can be supported. Vehicle Access In relation to vehicle access, notwithstanding that Councils Local Planning Policy Streetscape requires vehicular access to be taken solely from right-of-way; the proposed development provides vehicle access to the basement car park for the residents via Washington Street whilst limited access is provided via right-of-way for the visitor car parking bays located at the rear of the building. However, DRC and Councils officers have no reservations on the proposed access via Washington Street given that the subject lot is located at the end of Washington Street where the street is terminated by a cul-de-sac. It is envisaged that there will be few vehicles utilising this portion of Washington Street other than the residents of the subject property. As such, the proposed access via Washington Street is deemed to be acceptable. Town Planning Scheme No. 1 Clause 38 As the proposed development is non-compliant with the requirements of Town Planning Scheme No. 1, Council must be satisfied that the proposal meets the requirements listed under Clause 38(3) of the Scheme if approval were to be granted.

Based on the form, quality and appearance of the development, the proposed development will make a significant and high quality streetscape outcome which would accord with the orderly and proper planning of the locality, as outlined in the Precinct Plan P5 Raphael Precinct. The development is of a high standard which will serve as an example for the positive future redevelopment of sites elsewhere along Canning Highway and has been designed to take maximum advantage of the Central Business District and Swan River views whilst maintaining an appropriate and highly articulated frontage to Washington Street and right-of-way. While variations to the development standards are proposed, the variations are considered to be appropriate given its streetscape context and site planning. The items of noncompliance will not adversely effect on the occupants/users of the development, owners/occupiers of adjoining properties and the future development of the locality.

CONCLUSION: In regards to the matters raised above, the proposed building is considered to be of a high quality that would accord with the form, quality and appearance of development envisaged for the subject site, as outlined in the Raphael Precinct. The proposed building has been designed in such a way that it will provide a high level of amenity for prospective residents whilst creating an appropriate relationship with the surrounding buildings and streetscape. In view of the above, it is recommended that the application be Approved by Absolute Majority subject to conditions.

12 June 2012

BACKGROUND: The Council at its Ordinary Meeting held on 20 September 2011 resolved to initiate Amendment No. 54 to Town Planning Scheme No. 1 as follows: 1.1 Reclassify 31 (Lots 62, 63, 64 and 100) Rushton Street, Victoria Park from Local Scheme Reserve Parks and Recreation to Office/Residential zone. Amend Precinct Plan P6 Victoria Park Precinct and Precinct Plan P3 Causeway Precinct to realign the boundary and include Lots 62, 63, 64 and 100 within Precinct Plan P3 Causeway Precinct.

A letter dated 22 November 2011 was received from the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) advising the Town that the proposed Scheme Amendment No. 54 should not be assessed under Part IV Division 3 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act) and that is not necessary to provide any advice or recommendations. Following this advice, Amendment No. 54 was advertised for a period of 42 days commencing on 30 January 2012 and ending on 13 March 2012.

DETAILS: The proposed Amendment involves reclassification of the land from Local Scheme Reserve Parks and Recreation to Office/Residential zone, realigning the Precinct Plan boundaries to excise the site from the Victoria Park Precinct and include it within the Causeway Precinct and with specific development standards in order to respect the residential streetscape of Rushton Street and the neighbours amenities. Amendment No. 54 was advertised for a period of 42 days commencing on 30 January 2012 and ending on 13 March 2012 with letters being sent to surrounding owners and occupants, signs being installed on site and advertisements being place in the Southern Gazette newspaper. Three responses and one petition were received in addition to two responses from State Government agencies which are summarised and responded to as follows: Property Address/ Agency Petition Summary of Submission Officers Comment

Following consideration of public submissions received during both the statutory advertising period and at the Public Information Session, modifications are proposed to the development standards contained within this Amendment.

Legal Compliance: Town of Victoria Park Town Planning Scheme No. 1 Clause 47 (1) of the Town Planning Scheme Text states that: Council may only amend or revoke a Scheme Document with the exception of a Council Register in accordance with the procedures applying to a Town Planning Scheme Amendment set out in Section 7 of the Act. Town Planning Regulations 1967 Under regulations 17(1) & (2) and 25(fb) of the Town Planning Regulations 1967, the Council must consider all submissions received on the amendment and resolve whether the amendment will be adopted with or without modifications or whether it does not wish to proceed with the amendment within 42 days of the end of the advertising period or such longer period as the Minister may approve. Under regulation 18(1) of the Town Planning Regulations 1967, the Council must forward the amendment to the Western Australian Planning Commission for a decision on final approval within 28 days of passing a resolution under regulation 17(2).

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

The Western Australian Planning Commission will consider the Amendment and any submissions received and make a recommendation to the Hon Minister for Planning concerning determination. Upon receipt of the Western Australian Planning Commissions recommendation the Hon Minister will consider the matter then make a determination on the outcome of the Amendment, which may include finalisation of the Amendment, modifications to the Amendment that may or may not require readvertising or refusal to finalise the Amendment. Sustainability Assessment: External Economic Implications: No impact Social Issues: No impact Cultural Issues: No impact Environmental Issues: No impact COMMENT: The Amendment as advertised for public comments, proposes to rezone the site to Office/Residential. Whilst an Office/Residential zoning would permit the use of any of the lots forming part of the site for office or residential purposes, specific development standards were proposed to not permit retail uses (Shops, Restaurants etc) on any part of the site, and to only enable office uses on Lots 64 and 100 on the ground floor only, and only in conjunction with a residential use where the residential use is the predominant use. Public comments received express concern that the encroachment of commercial uses into Rushton Street may affect the character of this residential street. In view of the concerns received, it is now proposed to modify the proposed development standards to restrict the use of both Lots 64 and 100 to purposes only permitted under a Residential zoning. The as-advertised provisions for Lots 62 and 63 are not proposed to be altered in respect to the issue of land uses. The effect of these modifications is that Lots 62 and 63, being the lots closest to Shepperton Road could be used for offices and/or residential purposes; however offices would not be permitted on Lots 64 and 100. A number of objections received expressed concern regarding the proposed building height limit, on the misunderstanding that a 6 storey height limit was proposed. However this is not the case and the maximum proposed height limit as advertised was 4 storeys adjacent to Shepperton Road, 4 storeys within a recession plane facing Rushton Street on Lots 62, 63 and 64, and 2 storeys on Lot 100. These building height limits were proposed on the basis that the adjacent sites to the west could accommodate building heights between 4 to 6 storeys and in this future context it was considered that a maximum 4 storey limit on the subject site would not appear unduly obtrusive or overbearing.

11.4

71

11.4

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

However, following consideration of public submissions it is proposed to retain the asadvertised building height limits with the exception of reducing the maximum building height to Rushton Street on Lot 64 from 4 storeys within a recession plane to 3 storeys within a recession plane. This would result in development of these lots being of a more compatible scale to better reflect the permissible building heights of the residential properties in Rushton Street (being 2 storeys). Therefore modifications are proposed to the Amendment documents to reflect this. In addition, the Amendment as-advertised proposes prescribed front setbacks from street boundaries as follows : a front setback of 6m is proposed along Rushton Street adjacent to Nos. 33 & 33A Rushton Street (Lot 100) stepping down to 4m (Lot 64) and then 3m closer to Shepperton Road in order to respect the established building line of the streetscape. In view of the use of Lot 64 now being proposed to be restricted to purposes permitted under a Residential zoning, it is appropriate that a standard residential setback (being 6m) also apply to this lot rather than the 4m setback as-advertised. Previously a nil setback to the Shepperton Road Reserve was proposed, however, this has been modified to include a 2m setback at the request of Main Roads given that the current road design for Shepperton Road will require an additional 2m width of land to be reserved for widening. At the Public Information Session, a comment was raised by a resident regarding possible vehicle access to the site via the right-of-way that runs between the Teddington Road and Rushton Street properties. While the right-of-way frontage to Lot 100 is only 3.0m, there may be a possibility of vehicle access between the site and right-of-way, in which case the Amendment is to be modified to note that any development of the site may have an opportunity for vehicle access via the right-of-way.

CONCLUSION: In view of the above it is recommended that Council resolve to adopt Amendment No. 54 to the Town of Victoria Park Town Planning Scheme No. 1 for Final Approval, with modifications from that advertised, being: Prohibiting Offices on Lots 64 and 100; Reducing the applicable density coding on Lot 100 from R80 to R60. Reducing the maximum building height limit on Lot 64 from 4 storeys within a recession plane to 3 storeys within a recession plane. Increasing the minimum setback to development on Lot 64 from a minimum of 4m to minimum of 6m. Noting that alternative vehicle access may be available from the right-of-way to the north; Increasing the setback to Shepperton Road from nil to a minimum of 2m.

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

Full details of the submissions received were forwarded to Elected Members in a memorandum dated 8 March 2011. The review has also involved: Identifying recurring issues for applications that have been assessed by Councils Urban Planning Unit. A good, the bad, and the ugly tour of completed developments in the Town, City of Belmont and the City of South Perth. Considering the provisions contained in draft Local Planning Scheme No. 2. Staff meetings. An Elected Members Workshop. DETAILS: The LPPS currently comprises: Explanatory Section; General Provisions that apply throughout the Town; Standards for Outside Specified Areas; Standards for Development within Weatherboard Precincts and Weatherboard Streetscapes; Standards for Development within the Residential Character Study Area but not within Weatherboard Precincts, Streetscapes or the Raphael Residential Precinct; Standards for Development in the Raphael Residential Precinct; Standards for Development Abutting Rights-of-Way; Definitions. The draft revised LPPS is proposed to restructured as follows: Explanatory Section; Standards for Development Outside Specified Areas; Standards for Development within the Residential Character Study Area, Weatherboard Precincts, Weatherboard Streetscapes and the Raphael Residential precinct; Standards for Development Abutting Rights-of-Way; Definitions. Some key principles have been identified as part of the review: Greater flexibility in design standards to apply to development outside character areas; Only development in the streetscape zone affects the streetscape the streetscape zone to be 6m or more behind the front faade of the dwelling development in the streetscape zone is to match the existing dwelling. Remove St James from Character Study Area and add relevant houses on western side of Berwick Street and southern side of Oats Street; For development abutting right-of-way, exercise greater design flexibility as these dwellings are forming part of a new streetscape with a distinguishable character from the dwellings facing the primary street. Roof form is the most important element in ensuring compatibility between the dwellings facing the street and the dwellings facing the right-of-way and some greater flexibility can be exercised in relation to other design standards for the right-of-way facing dwellings i.e. window shapes, wall heights, eaves style etc.

Sustainable design and streetscape are of equal importance sustainable design should still respect the street applicants to provide justification as to why variations to design standards are required to achieve sustainable design; demonstrate how the variations contribute to the sustainability outcome; also demonstrate how other alternatives wouldnt achieve the same sustainability outcome;

The review has focussed primarily on the LPPS provisions that apply for development outside of the character areas (i.e. Outside of the Residential Character Study Area, Weatherboard Precincts, Weatherboard Streetscapes and Raphael Precinct). For development in the character areas, new provisions have previously been discussed and workshopped with Elected Members as part of the preparation of draft Local Planning Scheme No. 2, and therefore it was determined that rather than further reviewing the provisions for these areas as part of the LPPS review, it would be more appropriate to largely (with some minor modifications) incorporate the provisions contained in draft LPS 2 into the draft revised LPPS. Legal Compliance: The following extract from the Residential Design Codes 2010, refers to local planning policies: The Codes aim to obviate the need for the use of Local Planning Policies which generate generic provisions, such as those designed to protect privacy and to design for streetscape, by incorporating of these aspects within the Codes. However the Codes recognise that local differences of character must be accommodated. The Codes enable local councils to vary certain code provisions by the adoption of local planning policies properly advertised and adopted as set out in the Model Scheme Text or by similar provisions where local councils have not yet incorporated the provisions of the Model Scheme Text. Only policies made in accordance with these provisions will have effect as a local planning policy. The requirements for advertising a Local Planning Policy under the Model Scheme Text are as follows: 1. Publish a notice of the proposed Policy once a week for 2 consecutive weeks in a newspaper circulated in the Scheme area giving details of: (i) where the draft policy may be inspected; (ii) the subject and nature of the draft policy; and (iii) in what form and during what period (being not less than 21 days from the day the notice is published) submission may be made. May publish a Notice of the proposed Policy in such other manner and carry out such other consultation as the local government considers appropriate. After the expiry of the advertising period the local government is required to review the policy in light of the submission made and resolve to adopt the Policy with or without modification, or not to proceed with the Policy.

If the local government resolves to adopt the Policy, the following must be undertaken: (i) publish notice of the policy once in a newspaper circulated in the Scheme area; and (ii) if, in the opinion of the local government, the Policy affects the interests of the Commission, forward a copy of the Policy to the Commission.

The Policy has effect on publication of a notice under 3(i) above. Given the wording of the clause under the Model Scheme Text, it is considered that a revised LPPS will not affect the interest of the Commission and therefore would not need to be forwarded to the Commission. Sustainability Assessment: External Economic Implications: No impact Social Issues: No impact Cultural Issues: No impact Environmental Issues: No impact

COMMENT: A copy of the draft revised LPPS is contained in the Appendices. The following table summarises some of the proposed changes for development outside the character areas (referred to as Development Outside Specified Areas): Item Front setback Secondary street setback Garage projection forward of dwelling Current provision Minimum 6m front setback average (includes verandas) Minimum 3m setback Summary of proposed change Exclude verandas from front setback average to encourage this traditional building feature Discretion to permit a reduced setback for a porch, architectural feature or limited portions of wall which provide some visual relief to the elevation. Minor variations can sometimes be acceptable depending upon design and factors such as lot and dwelling frontage; location of upper floor; location of adjoining dwellings; variations in roof height and form; Variations to be considered based upon these 81

Garages not to project more than 1m forward of facade

11.5

11.5

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes Item Current provision Summary of proposed change factors; Width of garage Garage width to not exceed 57% of lot frontage Open style fencing generally; Solid front fence to 1.8m high permitted for higher order roads. Existing dwellings to be retained. Demolition of existing dwellings will be considered where : Dwelling is structurally unsound; Dwelling is wholly clad in fibro sheeting; Dwelling constructed after 1945 and is outside RCSA or WB Streetscape. Dwelling is in RCSA, but is not an original dwelling. Approval has been issued for the subsequent development of the site in the case of pre-1945 dwellings or an original dwelling in the RCSA.

12 June 2012

Minor variations to the requirement will be considered based upon acceptable design solutions which minimise dominance of garages. No solid fences permitted contrary to CPTED, security principles. Front fencing on higher order roads to be at least 25% visually permeable above 1.2m height. Will still allow some of the fence to be solid. Non-character areas (Carlisle, Lathlain, St James, part of East Victoria Park) are ideally placed to accommodate new, more modern development. Draft LPS 2, which has been endorsed by Council, does not seek the retention of pre-1945 dwelling outside character areas, other than some character streetscapes. It is recommended that this position be reflected in the LPPS. Note relevance of pre 1945 was that after 1945 the architectural style was post-war austerity due to lack of materials after WWII construction was more modest and of a lesser quality.

Front fences

Demolition of dwellings

Standards for St James and part of East Victoria Park

St James and part of East Victoria Park contain predominantly post-war modest homes significant redevelopment likely. Accordingly, reasonable for much design flexibility including alternative roof forms i.e. skillion roofs, curved roofs; window shapes, colours and materials.

11.5

82

11.5

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes Item Current provision Summary of proposed change

12 June 2012

Lathlain contains more substantial homes, meaning some of the existing character will remain, therefore still a case for compatible design.

Roof form and mass

Roof shape matching housing in street; minimum 25 degree pitch, or match the existing dwelling.

St James and part of East Victoria Park no restrictions on roof form and pitch. Lathlain and Carlisle Alternative roof forms and pitches where not visible from the street; Roof forms visible from street, of same dwelling, to be consistent pitch. Roof forms visible from street, to be consistent with roof pitches predominant in street, with minimum 25 degrees. Prescribe a maximum roof pitch 35 degrees or more is inconsistent. Permit porches with non-pitched roof. Permit minor feature elements without pitched roof, where pitched roof is the dominant character of the dwelling. Other design solutions will be considered which may provide visual relief such as cantilevered elements, canopies/awnings. Sections of blank wall will be considered where they are minor relative to the dwelling frontage Emerging building trend incorporating modern design elements, including different window shapes. This can often add some greater visual interest to elevations, provided they are not too busy. Recommended provisions that : Windows visible from street to have primarily vertical emphasis. Windows facing street not be obscure glass. Grouping of small or highlight windows OK as minor element in total faade. No floor-to-ceiling windows. Overall elevation to read as one with primarily vertical orientated windows. Considered that colorbond sheeting when combined with other materials, adds visual interest to elevations. Recommended that colorbond sheeting (not zincalume) be 83

Scale and bulk of 2 storey dwellings Blank walls Window shape and size

Address building bulk through stepping of facade, balconies and variation of materials No blank walls facing the street Windows facing the street to be of traditional size and shape (meaning having a vertical emphasis)

Colours and materials (walls)

Walls no restriction on colours; no restriction on materials other than colorbond

11.5

11.5

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes Item Current provision sheeting or imitation weatherboard can only be used as a minor feature where visible from the street. Colour and materials (Roof) Roof in Lathlain and Carlisle, generally only brown, red, orange and grey colours, and zincalume, are permitted. No restrictions in St James and East Vic Park (outside RCSA). Garages to be integrated into design of dwelling in terms of roof and materials. Summary of proposed change

12 June 2012

permitted that is different to the roof colour, and where visible from the street is no more than 50% of the faade. Also suggested to permit flat profile sheeting only where it is a minor feature or has a rendered finish. Lathlain and Carlisle - This requirement has been restrictive and the subject of disputes from applicants desiring modern design. Recommended that the range of acceptable colours be expanded to again create some more interesting and varied streetscapes. Roof colours of light cream, green, black and dark grey not permitted. St James and part of East Victoria Park no changes. Flat/parapet roof form will be considered where there is a portion of upper floor above (occupying at least 2/3 of the width of the garage), and the flat/parapet roof form does not read as a dominant structure.

Design of garages and carports

In respect to development within the Residential Character Study Area, Weatherboard Precinct, Weatherboard Streetscapes, or Raphael Precinct, the provisions contained in the draft revised LPPS largely reflect the provisions contained in draft Local Planning Scheme No. 2, as these provisions have been previously supported by Elected Members. Only minor modifications have been made including: The addition of Performance Criteria for consideration where variations are proposed; Assessing some additional matters which were not covered; Including a Performance Criteria allowing for variations based upon sustainable design. Providing scope for portions of dwellings not visible from a street to be of an alternative form and design

CONCLUSION: A review of the LPPS has now been completed, and it is recommended that the draft revised LPPS be advertised for public comments. Following the public consultation period, Council will be required to consider the submissions received prior to adopting a final revised LPPS.

Further Comments: At the Elected Members Briefing Session on 5 May 2012, a query was raised in regard to the possible use of colorbond roof sheeting in addition to the permitted use of zincalume roof sheeting within the Towns character areas. It was suggested that this item could be the subject of a Workshop prior to the Policy being advertised. Should Elected Members believe that there is merit in modifying the draft Policy in this manner, it would be appropriate that this modification be incorporated into the revised Policy that is to be the subject of community consultation, and that the submissions received in relation to the entire Policy be the subject of a Workshop prior to any final adoption of the Policy.

RESOLVED: Moved: 1. Councillor Ashton Seconded: Councillor Potter

The draft revised Local Planning Policy Streetscape dated May 2012, contained in Appendix 11.5, be advertised in accordance with the procedures set out in the Model Scheme Text including a 28 day advertising period. The advertising and consultation process, for the draft revised Local Planning Policy Streetscape dated May 2012, be as follows: 2.1 A formal notice be published in newspaper circulated in the district for two consecutive weeks at the commencement of the advertising period, and placed on Councils Website at the commencement of the advertising period.

BACKGR ROUND: The Dep partment of o Transp port (DoT) ) commissioned WorleyParso W ons to produce p a comprehe ensive plan n for road requireme ents for a 5.5km 5 section of Ca anning High hway. The e study exa amined the e section of Canning Highway between b Albany A Hig hway (Vict toria Park) ) and Kwina ana Freew way (South Perth). Highway was w reserved in the P Perth Metr ropolitan Region R Sch heme (MRS S) in 1963 3 Canning H as an Ot ther Regio onal Highw way.

DETAILS: The purpose of the study is to produce a single comprehensive plan for road requirements for Canning Highway. The study comprises several inter-related outcomes, namely; Preparation of a road design concept with accompanying land reservation plans that considers how adjacent land uses interact with the future Canning Highway and accommodates the requirements of an urban corridor; Ensuring that the future needs of the transport users are adequately catered for in the widened road corridor, including pedestrians, cyclists and public transport. Preparation of an access strategy which minimises frontage access onto Canning Highway and reviews connectivity of local roads to the highway; and Preparation of a road design concept with accompanying land reservation plans that accommodate the requirements of an urban corridor. The findings of the Canning Highway Planning Study indicate that future traffic volumes of Canning Highway are expected to increase over the next 20 years. However, sections of the highway will continue to experience safety problems, traffic congestion at some intersections during peak periods and reduced public transport efficiency. The findings of the study support the need to plan for the future provision for a central median, intersection improvements, improved pedestrian/cyclist facilities and public transport priority measures. A small increase in the reservation area is proposed as some enlarged truncations are considered necessary to improve vehicle turning movements. The study concluded that four general traffic lanes and public transport (bus) priority measures would generally cater for the future transport demand on this section of the highway. Cycling will be permitted within bus lanes. The findings and recommendations of the study have been accepted in principle by the study Project Working Group and are generally supported by the community. The proposed Canning Highway reservation plans contained in the Final Report are now submitted for formal consideration by Council and endorsement in principle.

DETAILS: Construction of Bicycle Lanes along Jarrah Road, Bentley The construction of the project was estimated to cost approximately $217,940 (exc. GST). The Town stands to receive $108,970 (50%) of the total project cost through the PBN Program. This figure is shown in the attached appendix. The bicycle lanes along Jarrah Road will be constructed from Kent Street to Hill View Terrace. The length of the bicycle lane will be 1,840m, 1.2m wide and will be constructed on both sides. The bicycle lane will be constructed with red asphalt as per the current standard. As part of the scope, a full feature survey will be commissioned that will encompass Jarrah Road from Kent Street to Hill View Terrace. Construction of Shared Path on Great Eastern Highway, Victoria Park The construction of the project was estimated to cost approximately $281,000 (exc. GST). The Town stands to receive $92,973 of the total project cost from DoT as shown in the appendix. The Town initially requested $140,973 through the PBN program which includes path construction and lighting component. The DoT has only approved $92,973 which excludes the lighting component. The Town will fund the lighting works as the project is considered of high importance to link the causeway precinct. The dual use path will provide continuity from the existing dual path in Craig Street to Shepperton Road. The length of the dual use path is 509m and 2.5m wide. The dual use path will be constructed with red asphalt as per current standards. As part of the scope, a full feature survey will be commissioned that will encompass Charles Paterson Park. Legal Compliance: All works undertaken will comply with Austroads Guidelines and relevant Australian Standard relating to Bicycle infrastructure Policy Implications: Delegation 560 (Grants) of the Towns Delegations Register states that the administration can; Make and accept submissions for grants from Lotteries Commission, State and Commonwealth Governments, with a condition that acceptance of successful submissions over $22,000 (incl. GST) to be subjected to Council approval. Strategic Plan Implications: The Strategic Plan includes many statements about sustainability. Improved cycling infrastructure in order to encourage greater uptake of cycling to compliment the Community Wellbeing and Quality Physical Environment are key result areas of the Strategic Plan as well as the sustainability aims of the Plan.

Financial Implications: Internal Budget: The Town will need to fund at least 50% of the nominated project costs to receive the grant funding from DoT which have now been endorsed by DoT. The funding arrangement would be: Project Funding source Total ToVP DoT Jarrah Road Bicycle Lanes $108,970 $108,970 $217,940 excluding overheads GEH Shepperton Dual $188,973 $92,973 $281,946 excluding Path overheads $297,943 $201,943 $499,886 Total Asset Management: The works once completed will be maintained by the Town Sustainability Assessment: External Economic Implications: Improved cycling infrastructure is likely to yield results in terms of positive outcomes for cyclists and a corresponding increased use of bikes for transport. It is hoped this will have a positive effect on the businesses and services within the Town as more people view the Town of Victoria Park as a Local Government Authority committed to infrastructure supporting alternative modes of transport. Social Issues: An increase in cycling within the Town will improve the health and wellbeing of community members and assist in developing more people-friendly neighbourhoods. With fewer cars and more people on the streets, a greater sense of community is developed. People on bikes tend to engage with other cyclists and pedestrians in a different way to those in cars. Cycling also provides a cost efficient and sustainable form of transport. Cultural Issues: The close proximity of the Town to the Perth Central Business District and good connectivity to public transport mean that a mode shift is possible from single car occupants to cyclists for many trips. Improved cycling infrastructure is critical to this mode shift. Travel Behaviour change to increase cycling within the Town relies on good cycling infrastructure. Environmental Issues: Continuing to provide safe and efficient cycling facilities will encourage and facilitate more use of bicycles, rather than vehicles, for commuting, transport or recreational journeys. Reducing vehicle dependency will help reduce vehicle emissions and vehicle noise.

COMMENT: The aforementioned projects are high use bike routes. Acceptance of the funding totalling $201,943 and return of the contract agreements to the DoT need to be finalised by close of business, Friday 8 June 2012. All works associated with the grants are to be completed by Friday, 10 May 2013. In the event that the project completion date exceeds the deadline, DoT shall be notified 30 days prior to that date.

MANAGEMENT 6.1 The CEWG has no delegated powers or authority to: 6.1.1 Represent the Town of Victoria Park; 6.1.2 Implement recommendations without approval of the Council; and 6.1.3 Commit Council to the expenditure of funds. 6.2 Members are requested to sign the Code of Conduct document Additional Comment At the Elected Members Briefing Session on 5 June 2012 Elected members suggested that clause 4.3 of the terms of reference be amended to allow general business, but it is felt that the Councils at decision on 8 May 2012 relating to changes to the working groups agenda format which enables matters not included on working group agendas to be discussed has resolved this issue and therefore the recommendation does not require amendment.

8 tender submissions were received in response and each tender was assessed by a three person tender evaluation panel in accordance with the criteria set out in the tender. The tenders were first assessed against the compliance criteria to ensure that they satisfied the requirements of the request for tender. Some tenders did not provide all of the detailed information requested. It was considered that the non-conformances were nonmaterial to the solution or price tendered and that the additional information could be requested from the short-listed tenderer/s after the evaluation process. In the case of one tender, additional copies of the tender document were requested and received after the tender closing, but this was also considered non-material to the solution or the price tendered. All submissions were processed through to the qualitative/price evaluation on this basis. In addition a number of the tenders sought variations to the standard Conditions of Contract which formed part of the request for tender document. Each of the 8 tenders was scored a value from 0-5 for each of the qualitative criteria: Capability/competence of Tenderer to perform the work required Experience of Tenderer in supplying similar goods or completing similar projects Understanding of Requirement A table of the total scores of the three evaluation panel members for the criteria for each tender is outlined below.

Strategic Plan Implications: The Towns Plan for the Future 2011-2026 (PfF) includes a project under the Sub program, Street Life being Complete the Integrated Transport Management Plan and Parking Strategy. This project is now known as the Integrated Movement Network Strategy. Financial Implications: Internal Budget: The shortlisted tenderer submitted a lump sum tender price of $180,937.80 plus GST. There is sufficient funds in the current budget to fund this contract. Total Asset Management: Nil Sustainability Assessment: The following assessment is based on the report relating to the administrative process of awarding a tender rather that the sustainability assessment of the actual project, which will have economic, social and environmental implications. External Economic Implications: Nil Social Issues: Nil Cultural Issues: Nil Environmental Issues: Nil COMMENT: The evaluation process established that the highest qualitative scores for each of the three criteria were achieved by the tender submitted by WorleyParsons Services Pty. Ltd. The price evaluation determined that this tender was within the average price range of the tenders received. When the price was weighted and added to the total qualitative score, the tender submitted by WorleyParsons Services Pty. Ltd. still achieved the highest overall total score of all tenders. As the tender from WorleyParsons Services Pty. Ltd. was the short-listed tender selected by the evaluation panel, some additional but not critical information was sought which was not included in the original tender submission and this is anticipated to be received in writing during the week of the June 2012 Ordinary Council Meeting. As this was one of the tenders that proposed minor variations to the Conditions of Contract which form part of the request for tender document, legal advice has been sought from Councils Solicitors to consider these matters.

ADDITIONAL OFFICERS COMMENTS The tender from Worley Parsons Pty Ltd was one of the tenders that proposed minor variations to the Conditions of Contract which form part of the request for tender document. Consequently, legal advice has been sought from Councils Solicitors to consider these matters. The two main clauses that staff are seeking to retain in the General Conditions of Contract that form the basis of the agreement between the Town and the successful tenderer are: 11.1 The Contractor shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Principal and the Principals Personnel from and against all Loss and other liabilities of any kind arising directly or indirectly from: (a) any breach of any warranty or any of the other terms and conditions of this Contract by the Contractor or the Contractors Personnel; any Wilful Misconduct or a negligent act or omission of the Contractor or the Contractors Personnel; and any claim made by a third party against the Principal or the Principals Personnel, to the extent that the claim arose out of the act or omission of the Contractor or the Contractors Personnel, except to the extent of liability which is caused by the Wilful Misconduct or a negligent act or omission of the Principal or the Principals Personnel.

(b)

(c)

11.2 The Principal need not incur any cost or make any payment before enforcing any right of indemnity under this Clause 10. Schedule 1 Contract Specifics, contained in Tender TVP/12/03 contains the following information regarding the level of indemnity and professional liability Minimum level of Public Liability Insurance Cover required: AUD$10,000,000 for one claim; and AUD$10,000,000 in the aggregate. Minimum level of Professional Indemnity Cover Required: AUD$5,000,000 for one claim; and AUD$5,000,000 in the aggregate. WorleyParsons Pty Ltd has sought to limit the extent of liability afforded by the above mentioned insurances. Legal advice has confirmed the Towns position on this matter. However, officers will negotiate in good faith to secure a suitable outcome.

CONCLUSION: The tender submitted by Worley Parsons Services Pty Ltd is considered to provide the best value for money given that it achieved the highest qualitative weighted score of all eight tenders and is within the average price range of the tenders received.

Notwithstanding that the licence to occupy the site comprises a disposal of land under the Local Government Act 1995, such disposal is exempt under the provisions of clause 30 of the Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996 because the land is to be disposed to a body, whether incorporated or not, the objects of which are of a charitable nature. Policy Implications: Nil Strategic Plan Implications: The Plan for the Future identifies the management, maintenance and renewal of the Towns assets as a key objective of the Renew Life Program. Furthermore, the Plan for the Future identifies the development of asset management plans to ultimately maximise return on the Towns assets. Financial Implications: Internal Budget: Councils resolution of September 2011 provided an in kind contribution and increased the Towns sponsorship level with Movies by Burswood allowing for additional cross promotional opportunities, in lieu of applying a commercial or subsidised rental for the proposed seven month occupancy. Over the term of the occupancy September 2011 to April 2012, the Town has continued to allocate resources for both grounds and minor building maintenance and operations at the site. Total Asset Management: The completion of the rezoning of the property to Residential R-30 has substantially increased the development and/or disposal value of the four separately titled properties which comprise the site. It is estimated that the undeveloped value of the four titles would be a minimum $3,000,000. The property has been identified as a possible interim accommodation facility for community and other purposes during the Town Centre development. A market appraisal of the site to determine potential commercial rental value of the building was undertaken which indicated that an annual rental of $16,000 could be obtained. This is based on the floor area of the building being 160m2, with such attracting a rate of $100/m2/year. The unit rate would likely be higher in the event of a long (20-30 year) term lease agreement, possibly in the vicinity of $30,000 per annum.

COMMENT: With respect to the proposed Town Centre project, staff considers the retention of the former Lathlain Pre-Primary School site as critical. The site affords the Town the ability to relocate and accommodate community groups and/or commercial organisations from the Town Centre area within the building. Further, the grounds may accommodate any necessary temporary accommodation buildings and the like. The feasibility of the Town Centre project is currently under review and yet to be finalised. Linked to the Town Centre project is the construction of the Multi-Purpose Sports Facility (MPSF) identified on the site of the former Carlisle Lathlain Bowling Club, located across Planet Street immediately adjacent to the former Lathlain Pre-Primary School. It has been suggested that should neither the Town Centre project or the MPSF proceed, then a development incorporating both the former Lathlain Pre-Primary School and the former Carlisle Lathlain Bowling Club would potentially afford the best return to the Town.

CONCLUSION: Staff have concluded that permitting the Movies by Burswood organisation to continue to occupy the former Lathlain Pre-Primary School site as a short term interim arrangement is appropriate as it provides the greatest flexibility to the Town whilst fulfilling a community purpose.

RESPONSIBLE OFFICER RECOMMENDATION/S: That Council: 1. Endorses the continued use of the former Lathlain Pre-Primary School by the Movies by Burswood organisation, via a licence to occupy agreement, for an indefinite period, at a $1.00 per annum with all outgoings to be covered by Movies by Burswood in accordance with the pre-existing licence agreement, but subject to the inclusion of a 30 day termination clause in favour of the Town of Victoria Park.

DETAILS: The Project Team first met in August 2011 and has since then taken the time to meet with local community members, the East Victoria Park Sub Branch of the RSL and the Principals at the two local high schools. The meetings and the consultation resulted in the development of a Concept Design Brief (tabled) which was distributed to architects, artists and landscapers. The Concept Design Brief asked interested parties to submit a rough concept for the potential redevelopment of Memorial Gardens, as well as indicative construction costs. Five Concept Designs were received and were considered by the Project Team at a meeting on 22 March 2012. The Project Team selected two designs which were presented at an Elected Members Workshop on 17 April 2012. The presentation at the Elected Members Workshop included feedback from the Towns Park Life team on the Concept Designs which included concerns regarding the placement of water features and a reduction of available parkland which would impact future ANZAC Day ceremonies. The team also advised that some capital works improvements are planned for the garden, pending approval of the 2012/13 Budget. These works are intended to improve the amenity of the garden and could incorporate some design features (e.g. plaques, public art) which would commemorate the conflicts that Australians have served in. Furthermore, it was noted that both designs included structures that listed the names of the local soldiers killed in all conflicts, rather than commemorating the conflicts that they served in, which was an element of the Terms of Reference. Information regarding the costs of the two designs was also presented at the Workshop: Design A Ecotect Architects (tabled) $9,900 to further develop the Concept Design and prepare a budget; and $300,000 - $700,000 indicative cost of the project. TOTAL - $309,900 - $709,900 Design B Historic Victoria Park Incorporated (tabled) $24,200 to further develop the Concept Design and prepare a budget; and $250,000 indicative cost of the project. TOTAL - $274,200. In addition to an overview of the two Concept Designs, the Workshop presentation included a brief outline of discussions with the Principals at the local high schools, where Kent Street High School expressed interest in exploring the opportunity to develop a program which would lead up to the centenary of the ANZACs landing at Gallipoli 25 April 2015. Further details of the program are currently being considered by the school. At the time Ursula Frayne Catholic College was not sure how it might like to be involved in the project beyond its regular participation at the Towns ANZAC Day ceremony. Subsequently (following the March meeting of the Project Team) the school has submitted a Concept Design to the Town (tabled; no costs included).

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

Information regarding the East Victoria Park Sub Branch of the RSLs intentions to develop a memorial wall commemorating all servicemen and women that enlisted in the Town, highlighting those who gave their life in service was also presented at the Workshop. While the design has yet to be finalised, research that will result in a complete list of servicemen and women with links to the Town is well underway. The Towns Local History Coordinator is liaising with the RSL as the research progresses. In light of the RSLs intentions to develop a memorial wall less than 5km away from Memorial Gardens, the Towns Park Life teams concerns regarding the suitability of the Concept Designs and their intentions to undertake some works in the garden, it is the Project Teams recommendation that a significant redevelopment of Memorial Gardens not be progressed. Rather, there are opportunities:
for the Towns Park Life team to undertake work to improve the amenity of the gardens; to apply for funding through applicable grants to have plaques made commemorating each conflict. These would be included in the garden improvements planned by the Parks team; to continue to liaise with the RSL to develop a comprehensive list of servicemen and women that enlisted in the Town, noting those that were killed in action. The Town could then further develop the list to create an electronic honour roll which would be made available at the Towns website; to work with the Kent Street High School, staff, members of the Memorial Gardens Team and the community to develop an ANZAC Day 2015 program; and to apply for funding through alternative sources to commemorate the centenary of the landing at Gallipoli on ANZAC Day 2015.

Legal Compliance: Nil Policy Implications: Nil Strategic Plan Implications: Community Life Objective 5 We will celebrate the rich history and heritage of the Town. Financial Implications: Internal Budget: The Draft 2012/13 Budget includes $15,000 for capital works improvements in Memorial Gardens. There are currently no funds allocated for:
the creation of a plaque(s) commemorating each conflict; however grant funding has been identified; for major capital works improvements in Memorial Gardens. The indicative costs for the two Concept Designs submitted ranged from approximately $275,000 to $710,000. In light of the RSLs intentions to develop a memorial wall less than 5km from Memorial Gardens it is the Officers recommendation that a major redevelopment of Memorial Gardens not be progressed.

Total Asset Management: There will be a minor increase in operating costs as a result of the planned capital works improvements. Additional works e.g. plaques would also result in a slight increase in operating costs.

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

Sustainability Assessment: External Economic Implications: Nil

Social Issues: Commemorating all conflicts that local residents have served in has the potential to increase the number of visitors to Memorial Gardens. Any development of the garden must be mindful of not reducing the available parkland in order that the Towns annual ANZAC Day service can be accommodated. Approximately 700 people attended on 25 April 2012. Consideration is already being given to determine how more can be accommodated for the centenary of the ANZAC landing in 2015, as it is anticipated that the number of people attending the Towns service will increase significantly. Cultural Issues: Conflicts where local community members have fallen while serving their country are not all commemorated in one location within the Town. By commemorating all conflicts in one location there would be the opportunity to acknowledge and reflect upon the sacrifices made by those local community members that served their country. Environmental Issues: Nil

COMMENT: Currently Memorial Gardens has a single plaque acknowledging those that have served their country. The plaque refers to those who served and gave their lives in World War I and World War II only. Commemorating all conflicts that local community members have served in is important in that it provides the opportunity for people today and in to the future to acknowledge and reflect upon the generous actions of those local community members that served their country. In addition, as the centenary of the landing at Gallipoli ANZAC Day 25 April 2015 is not far away the Project Team deems it appropriate to establish a cross-functional team, including interested members of the Memorial Gardens Project Team to plan an appropriate service.

CONCLUSION: In light of the RSL East Victoria Park Sub Branchs intentions to develop a memorial wall commemorating all servicemen and women that enlisted in the Town less than 5km away from Memorial Gardens, the Towns Park Life teams concerns regarding the suitability of the Concept Designs and their intentions to undertake some works in the garden in 2012/13, it is the Project Teams recommendation that a significant redevelopment of Memorial Gardens not be progressed.

RESPONSIBLE OFFICERS COMMENT In addition to the recommendations from the Project Team (listed as 1-8 below) the Responsible Officer recommends that as the Project Team has fulfilled its obligations as set in the Terms of Reference the Team be disbanded and participants thanked for their valuable input (9-10 below). ADDITIONAL COMMENT At the EMBS on Tuesday the 5 June 2012 questions were raised in relation to the recommendation to disband the Memorial Gardens Project Team. The rationale to disband the Project Team is due to the fact that it has fulfilled its obligations in accordance with the terms of reference.

Policy Implications: Nil Strategic Plan Implications: The strategic focus for the Healthy Life Working Group is aligned to the Plan for the Future 2011-2026 (PFF). The purpose of the Healthy Life Working Group is to contribute to the vibrant lifestyle of the Town by: Support Council to connect people to services, resources, information, facilities and experiences that enhance their physical and social well-being. Provide advice to the Council on matters relating to the development and implementation of the Healthy Life Plan. Assist the Council to increase and improve opportunities for physical activity through the provision of programs and activities, including active transport initiatives. Assist the Council in developing and implementing a Healthy Life Annual Work Plan. Financial Implications: Internal Budget: Whilst the establishment of the HLWG annual work plan will not require the allocation of Council budgetary funds in 2012/2013, it is anticipated that the long-term implementation of strategies, plans and outcomes from the Annual Work Plan will require consideration by Council for allocation in future budgets. Total Asset Management: Whilst the establishment of the HLWG Annual Work Plan will have no direct impact on the Towns total asset management processes, it is anticipated that the long term implementation of strategies, plans and outcomes from the Annual Work Plan may impact on the Towns total asset management processes. Sustainability Assessment: External Economic Implications: Nil Social Issues: The social benefits of a healthy lifestyle are many and varied including, but not limited to promoting stronger and more cohesive communities, as well as better health outcomes and reducing antisocial behaviour as a result of improving levels of physical activity. Cultural Issues: Enhanced opportunities for different cultures to participate in physical activity results in a strong and cohesive community. Environmental Issues: Nil

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

The investigation found that the property at 44 Carnarvon Street was well maintained and of a suitable size to keep three dogs. No objections to this application from neighbours were received and no history of offences or complaints are recorded with the Town.

Legal Compliance: The following clauses outline the legal framework pertaining to this report. In summary the Town limits the number of dogs that can be kept to two unless an exemption is granted. If an application for an exemption is refused, or if the applicant disagrees with any conditions imposed under an exemption the applicant can ask for the decision to be reviewed by the State Administrative Tribunal. Dog Act 1976 states inter alia: Part V The keeping of dogs 26. Limitation as to numbers (1) The provisions of this Part shall not operate to prevent the keeping on any premises of 2 dogs over the age of 3 months and the young of those dogs under that age. (2) Subject to subsection (1), a local government, pursuant to local laws, may limit the number of dogs over the age of 3 months, or the number of such dogs of any specified breed or kind, that may be kept on any premises situate in a specified area to which those local laws apply unless those premises are licensed as an approved kennel establishment or are exempt. (3) Where by a local law under this Act a local government has placed a limit on the keeping of dogs in any specified area but the local government is satisfied in relation to any particular premises that the provisions of this Act relating to approved kennel establishments need not be applied in the circumstances, the local government may grant an exemption in respect of those premises but any such exemption (a) may be made subject to conditions, including a condition that it applies only to the dogs specified therein; (b) shall not operate to authorise the keeping of more than 6 dogs on those premises; and (c) may be revoked or varied at any time. (4) Subject to the provisions of subsection (3), a person who keeps on any premises, not being premises licensed as an approved kennel establishment, dogs over the age of 3 months in numbers exceeding any limit imposed in relation to those dogs by a local law made under subsection (2) commits an offence. Penalty: $1 000 and a daily penalty of $100. (5) Any person who is aggrieved (a) by the conditions imposed in relation to any exemption from the provisions of a local law placing a limitation on the number of dogs that may be kept on any premises; or (b) by the refusal of a local government to grant such an exemption, or by the revocation of an exemption, may apply to the State Administrative Tribunal for a review of the decision.

(6) An application under subsection (5) cannot be made later than the expiry of a period of 28 days after the day on which a notice of the decision is served on the person affected by that decision. Dog Local Law 2000 states inter alia: 3.2 Limitation on the number of dogs (1) This clause does not apply to premises which have been (a) licensed under Part 4 as an approved kennel establishment; or (b) granted an exemption under section 26(3) of the Act. (2) The limit on the number of dogs which may be kept on any premises is, for the purpose of section 26(4) of the Act, 2 dogs over the age of 3 months and the young of those dogs under that age. Policy Implications: This recommendation is consistent with the Towns Plan for the Future. Strategic Plan Implications: Nil Financial Implications: Internal Budget: Nil Total Asset Management: Nil Sustainability Assessment: External Economic Implications: Nil Social Issues: Nil Cultural Issues: Nil Environmental Issues: Nil

COMMENT: The Dog Act 1976 and the Towns Dog Local Law 2000 clearly limit the number of dogs that can be kept on any property to two unless an exemption is granted. The requirement of getting an exemption ensures that any negative impact or undesirable outcomes that may come about as a result of keeping multiple dogs is able to be avoided.

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

Ms Lakes previous history of keeping dogs, and in particular of keeping three dogs, demonstrates a capacity to do so without impacting on other members of the community. The same conditions that the Town applies to all applications of this type were part of the previous exemption and should be included in this exemption also. CONCLUSION: Ms Lake is a suitable candidate for an exemption to keep three dogs. RESOLVED: Moved: Councillor Skinner Seconded: Councillor Nairn

That Council, Pursuant to the Dog Act 1976 and the Town of Victoria Parks Dog Local Law 2000, approves the application for an exemption to the limitation to keep more than two dogs on the property at 44 Carnarvon Street be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. Only dogs which are the subject of this exemption are to be kept at this property; 2. All dogs are to be registered in accordance with the Dog Act 1976 and all registrations shall be renewed and maintained as required; 3. Fences are to be maintained in order to effectively confine the dogs within the property; 4. The yard area of the property where the dogs are kept is to be maintained in a clean and tidy condition; 5. Dog faeces are to be disposed of in the weekly refuse service or by other approved means; 6. Dogs kept at the property are not permitted to bark or behave otherwise in a way so as to create a nuisance; 7. If the property is developed so as to reduce the area used to keep the dogs, the exemption provided by Council will no longer be valid. The applicant may seek a further exemption based on the modified condition of the property; 8. The exemption relates to the individual dogs subject to this application only. Those dogs being: Animal number 21866, named Saffie, a female Pomeranian, Animal number 20932, named Tilly, a female Chihuahua, and A currently unregistered female Pomeranian named Pips. These dogs cannot be replaced without first seeking a further exemption from Council; 9. On receipt of a justifiable complaint, Council may revoke or vary the exemption at any time. The Motion was Put and CARRIED: (7-0)

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

Legal Compliance: Section 6.16 of the Local Government Act 1995 (as amended) (Imposition of Fees and Charges) states (1) A local government may impose* and recover a fee or charge for any goods or service it provides or proposes to provide, other than a service for which a service charge is imposed. * Absolute majority required. (2) A fee or charge may be imposed for the following (a) providing the use of, or allowing admission to, any property or facility wholly or partly owned, controlled, managed or maintained by the local government; (b) supplying a service or carrying out work at the request of a person; (c) subject to section 5.94, providing information from local government records; (d) receiving an application for approval, granting an approval, making an inspection and issuing a licence, permit, authorisation or certificate; (e) supplying goods; (f) such other service as may be prescribed. (3) Fees and charges are to be imposed when adopting the annual budget but may be (a) imposed* during a financial year; and (b) amended* from time to time during a financial year. * Absolute majority required.

Policy Implications: Nil Strategic Plan Implications: The Town of Victoria Park - Strategic Plan 2004-2013 has, as a strategy under the Good Governance Key Result Area, the need to provide and manage organisational resources and assets. This Item is seen to support this strategy by implementing Fees and Charges designed to ensure sound financial management over Councils resources. Financial Implications: Fees and Charges encompass approximately 19% of the Operating Funds required to operate Council activities. Due to the fact that the Fees and Charges are, in effect, being set outside the normal process (of adoption via the Annual Budget (which will also need to occur), a period of local public notice is required. This will have a minor cost and two week timeframe associated with it. At the end of that period the amended / new Fees and Charges will apply.

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

Sustainability Assessment: The Fees and Charges have been amended so as to consider the cost impact of providing those goods and services. This extends across the economic, social, cultural and environment assessment areas.

COMMENT AND CONCLUSION Councillors request for a timely adoption of Fees and Charges can be met through the application of Section 6.16 of the Local Government Act 1995 (as amended). The Schedule of Fees and Charges (as proposed) have taken into consideration all requirements as set forth by legislation, are considered fair and reasonable, and will assist in the continued delivery and operation of Council services and activities.

RESOLVED: Moved: Councillor Skinner Seconded: Councillor Ashton

That Council, pursuant to Section 6.16 of the Local Government Act 1995 (as amended), amend the current Fees and Charges and impose the Fees and Charges, as attached in the appendices, effective from 1 July 2012. The Motion was Put and CARRIED BY AN ABSOLUTE MAJORITY: (7-0)

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

BACKGROUND: At the Ordinary Meeting held 8 November 2011, Council resolved that the motion relating to a request for closure of Glenn Place road reserve lay on the Table, with the stated reason for leaving the motion on the Table being that Council was awaiting the results of discussion between the Burswood Entertainment Complex (BEC) and the State Government. Written advice, dated 30 April 2012, has been received from the Hon Minister for Racing and Gaming that State Cabinet has approved: the excision of 12,472m of land from the Burswood Park Reserve 39361 and for that land to be granted to Burswood Nominees Ltd; a multi- level car park to be constructed in such land; and new roads to be created and existing roads realigned (including related infrastructure). The Hon Minister for Racing and Gaming has indicated that he has advised the Town of Cabinets approval of the proposal in order that the Town can progress with the various applications (such as road closures, building licences etc) necessary to commence the project. BEC submitted to the Town, on 7 September 2011, a building licence application to commence forward works for a proposed multi-storey car park to be located on the southern side of the complex, straddling the Glenn Place road reserve. The proposed multi-storey car park is to be located partially within the area defined as the Resort Lands in the Casino (Burswood Island) Agreement Act 1985. Developments within the Resort Lands do not require normal Planning Approval, as they are exempt under the aforementioned Act. The road reserve known as Glenn Place is not within the area defined as Resort Lands, and as the proposed structure is to be located over the Glenn Place road reserve which is reserved Parks and Recreation under the Metropolitan Region Scheme, Planning Approval will be required from the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC). BEC was advised by the Town that as the proposed multi-storey car park is located over the road reserve, a formal application to Council to consider closure of the road reserve is required to enable Council to determine whether it is appropriate to request the Minister for Lands to close the road. BEC lodged, by letter dated 6 October 2011, a formal request for Council to consider closure of the Glenn Place road reserve. That request was presented to Council at its Ordinary Meeting held 8 November 2011, and the matter was left to lay on the Table.

DETAILS: The proposed multi-storey car park is to be located partially on Crown land under the management of the Burswood Park Board (part of Kagoshima Park) and partially on Glenn Place road reserve. The structure is proposed to accommodate 1004 car bays. The height of the structure has not been specified, but drawings supplied appear to indicate that it will be 3 storeys high and additionally have a basement level. Artistic impressions previously provided by representatives of BEC to Council Officers indicate that the faade of the car park will incorporate design treatments and articulation to provide some visual interest,

16.2

170

16.2

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

however the faade will not be activated. Associated modifications will also be made to the existing at grade car park adjacent to Glenn Place. BEC proposes to purchase land from the Crown, close Glenn Place and create a new road reserve on the southern side of the proposed car park to replace the Glenn Place road reserve. The Town was not involved in any of the negotiation between BEC and the Minister for Sport and Recreation; Racing and Gaming in respect to the proposal. Legal Compliance: Council can, if it chooses to do so, request the Minister for Lands to close a road reserve under Section 58 of the Land Administration Act 1997. Section 58 of the Act states: 58. Closure of roads (1) When a local government wishes a road in its district to be closed permanently, the local government may, subject to subsection (3), request the Minister to close the road. (2) When a local government resolves to make a request under subsection (1), the local government must in accordance with the regulations prepare and deliver the request to the Minister. (3) A local government must not resolve to make a request under subsection (1) until a period of 35 days has elapsed from the publication in a newspaper circulating in its district of notice of motion for that resolution, and the local government has considered any objections made to it within that period concerning the proposals set out in that notice. (4) On receiving a request delivered to him or her under subsection (2), the Minister may, if he or she is satisfied that the relevant local government has complied with the requirements of subsections (2) and (3) (a) by order grant the request; (b) direct the relevant local government to reconsider the request, having regard to such matters as he or she thinks fit to mention in that direction; or (c) refuse the request. (5) If the Minister grants a request under subsection (4) (a) the road concerned is closed on and from the day on which the relevant order is registered; and (b) any rights suspended under section 55(3)(a) cease to be so suspended.

Policy Implications: Nil Strategic Plan Implications: The proposal to relocate the road and construct the car park at the location proposed is inconsistent with the Burswood Peninsula Draft District Framework which contained the following relevant statement -

16.2

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

A new local road link on the southern side of Burswood Entertainment Complex extending from the Swan River in the west to the Burswood station east area via a proposed subway, provides the opportunity to replace the existing casino back of house activities with an active public frontage to Great Eastern Highway. The new buildings adjacent to the casino would be multi storey carparks sleeved with commercial frontage. It should be noted that the Burswood Peninsula Draft District Framework was advertised and supported by the WAPC, and although not having been approved by Cabinet owing to the intervening announcement of a new sports stadium at Burswood, is a seriously entertained planning proposal in the absence of any other strategic document. Additionally, it is not yet known whether the proposal will be in accordance with the Burswood Station West Masterplan, which has not yet been prepared by the Department of Planning. Financial Implications: Internal Budget: Nil Total Asset Management: Closure of a road reserve and creation of a new road reserve will impact on the Towns ongoing operational responsibility for roads under the Towns care, control and management. Sustainability Assessment: External Economic Implications: Nil Social Issues: Nil Cultural Issues: Nil Environmental Issues: The proposed car park structure would cause a reduction in parkland area available for general public use. The reduced area of available parkland is currently Crown land under the management of the Burswood Park Board.

COMMENT: BEC has applied for a building licence for approval to commence forward works for the proposed car park within the road reserve. It is not appropriate for such approval to be issued prior to Council consideration of a request for closure of the road reserve, and no approval has therefore been issued. In addition, as part of the works are contained on land for which the planning approval of the WAPC is required, it would be appropriate that a decision on the road closure request first be made, and if approved, then be followed by an application for planning approval.

Ordinary Meeting of Council Minutes

12 June 2012

The process for closure of road reserves is detailed in Section 58 of the Land Administration Act 1997. The Land Administration Act 1997 does not set out any alternate procedure whereby road reserves can be closed. It may be possible, however, that if Council does not agree to consider the proposed closure, the Minister for Lands could, as the controller of Crown land, close the subject road reserve without reference to Council. The Director Future Life and Built Life Programs has been in contact with the Department of Planning in regard to the proposed road closure and car park. The Department of Planning considers that the proposal to relocate Glenn Place road reserve and construct the proposed car park is inconsistent with the Burswood Peninsula Draft District Framework and should not be supported until such time as the future direction for the area is determined through the Masterplan/Structure Plan process. This is in keeping with the view expressed by the Minister for Planning to the Town in respect to an application by EG Custodians for review of Councils refusal of a variation to the Burswood Lakes Structure Plan pertaining to Lots 9 and 9525 Victoria Park Drive, Burswood, which was also affected by the future Masterplan/Structure Plan for the Burswood Peninsula, where the Minister indicated that the development under review should not proceed prior to the Masterplan/Structure Plan being completed. The following provisions contained in the Town Planning Scheme No. 1 Precinct Plan P1 Burswood Peninsula Precinct which apply to the BEC are also of relevance Any further expansion of the Complex into existing parkland will not be supported. Use of parkland for Burswood Resort parking on a permanent basis will not be supported. Any additional parking or access to the Resort should be accommodated on-site and not encroach into existing parkland. As Cabinet has approved the proposal to build the multi-level car park and the Minister has advised the Town of that approval in order that the road closure may be progressed, it is recommended that Council agree to advertise the proposed road closure in accordance with Section 58 of the Land Administration Act 1997 and consider any submissions received within the specified 35 days after advertisement of the proposal. It is also recommended that Council advise the Minister of its concerns in relation to the proposed multi-level car park, those concerns being: The proposal to construct a multi-storey car park at the nominated location is inconsistent with the Burswood Peninsula Draft District Framework. It is not considered appropriate for the development to proceed prior to the Masterplan/Structure Plan for the Burswood Peninsula being completed. It is not considered appropriate for the development to proceed prior to the Burswood Station West Masterplan, which is being prepared by the Department of Planning, being completed. The proposal is inconsistent with the Town of Victoria Park Town Planning Scheme No. 1 Precinct Plan P1 Burswood Peninsula Precinct which states Any further expansion of the Complex into existing parkland will not be supported and Use of parkland for Burswood Resort parking on a permanent basis will not be supported. Any additional parking or access to the Resort should be accommodated on-site and not encroach into existing parkland. Approval of the proposed multi-level car park prior to the Masterplan/Structure Plan being completed is contrary to the view expressed by the Minister for Planning to the Town in respect to an application by EG Custodians for review of

Councils refusal of a variation to the Burswood Lakes Structure Plan pertaining to Lots 9 and 9525 Victoria Park Drive, Burswood, which was also affected by the future Masterplan/Structure Plan for the Burswood Peninsula, where the Minister indicated that the development under review should not proceed prior to the Masterplan/Structure Plan being completed. BEC has not provided a traffic impact assessment for the design and operation of the proposed road layout. The proposed new alignment of Glenn Place appears to have been selected on no basis other than skirting around the new multi-level car park. Little consideration appears to have been given to the efficient movement of traffic in the proposed road layout, and there are several points of potential traffic conflict contained in the layout provided.

CONCLUSION: In acknowledgement of State Cabinets approval of the proposed multi-storey car park located partially over Glenn Place road reserve, the proposal to close Glenn Place road reserve be advertised in accordance with the requirements of Section 58 of the Land Administration Act 1997.
