Hillway area is inconsistent with the Strategy. has been a lack of consideration of topography (e.g. Broadway, Kingsway, Viewway) in application of the proposed densities. Objection/Support for the proposed density in the Mt Claremont precinct. Objection to density proposed in streets to the rear of Hampden Road (Leura, Clifton, Meriwa, Williams Road). Objection to proposed density in Aberdare Road precinct. Objection to proposed density in Waratah Avenue precinct. Listed alternative locations for increased densities Propose corner lot/low density subdivisions throughout City uses and higher densities between the Mixed Use / Neighbourhood Centre / Local Centre zone and the Residential zone. It is proposed to reduce densities Viewway/Kingsway/Bruce Street to respond to submissions and topographical constraints which are articulated in the Local Planning Strategy. Rationalising the outdated zoning mechanism (1 in 5 split coding) in Mt Claremont West was identified in the Local Planning Strategy. In response to submissions the R20 is proposed to be retained for the precinct. It is proposed to reduce densities along Leura/Clifton/Meriwa Street/Williams Road to respond to submissions, having regard to the Local Planning Strategy and wider planning framework that is anticipated to be delivered. It is proposed to reduce densities in the Aberdare Road precinct in response to submissions received and having regard to the Local Planning Strategy. It is proposed to reduce densities in the Waratah Avenue precinct in response to submissions received and having regard to the Local Planning Strategy. LPS3 identifies higher densities abutting, and in proximity to major roads/public transport, and within local and neighbourhood centres, which is consistent with the Local Planning Strategy. Introducing special provisions in LPS3 to permit corner lot subdivision throughout the City is inconsistent with the Local Planning Strategy and will result in ad-hoc planning outcomes and will not significantly assist in achieving density targets. 6.2.1 Discussion 6.2.1.1 Mt Claremont Precinct
School capacity was raised as an issue; however, the Department of Education has no comment or objections to LPS3 and are aware of the increased densities contemplated in LPS3 that will impact upon the current public-school network. With regard to POS, the Local Planning Strategy acknowledges the lack of local parks within some of the established suburbs, and that any increase in population will have an impact on the use of existing POS areas, especially in areas where POS is already deficient. To this end, the Strategy identifies that a Public Open Space Strategy should be developed to manage the City’s recreation and open space assets and provide for future community needs. Several submissions suggest that the City should implement developer contribution arrangements. However, the submissions generally lack detail beyond the concept that developer contributions may be a good idea. Developer Contribution requirements are referred to in Clause 27 of LPS3, and the City will investigate the feasibility and need to prepare a formal developer contribution plan upon approval and gazettal of LPS3 when all the Scheme provisions are formalised. 6.6.2 Recommended changes to advertised Scheme None proposed. 6.6.3 Reference in Schedule of Modifications N/A 6.7 Key Issue: Local Reserves Points raised Administration Comment Clause 14: Local Reserves, under ‘Environmental Conservation’ the first dot point should be amended as follows: ‘To identify areas with biodiversity and conservation value, and to protect those areas from development or subdivision’ ‘Foreshore’ the following additional objective should be included: ‘to identify and create ecological linkages that provide connectivity between public open spaces’ 64-66 Melvista Avenue, Dalkeith – properties currently used for a Child Care Premises. Error noted in the objective set out in LPS3 for Environmental Conservation reserve which is to be amended to: “subdivision and development”. The Foreshore local reserve is not applied to any land within the Scheme area. Its use is obsolete and the local reserve can be removed. Property rezoned Residential and Care land use permissibility reviewed within the zoning table – made A in accordance with planning bulletin 72/2009 Child Care Centres.
6.8 Key Issue: Zoning table and land use permissibility Points raised Administration Comment Review zoning table in relation to zone objectives to ensure consistency. Ensure zoning does not conflict with provisions elsewhere in the scheme. Recommend zoning table changes for a defined ‘Town Centre’ zone. Requests ‘Child Care Premises’ be permitted on No. 45 Carrington. Recommend Goods showroom be reclassified as ‘D’ in Mixed Use zone Request Serviced apartments be ‘A’ in Residential zone The zoning has been reviewed and changes made accordingly to align with the modifications made to the application of the Neighbourhood Centre, Mixed Use and Local Centre zone. Land use permissibility has been reviewed and modified in response to amended provisions elsewhere in the Scheme to ensure consistency. The land use permissibility within the Neighbourhood Centre zone has been reviewed in response to submissions and has been amended to provide for a wide variety of ‘Town Centre’ appropriate uses. care premises has been made ‘A’ in the zoning table for the Service Commercial zone. The Bulky goods showroom land use has been amended to be ‘D’ in the Mixed Use zone, to respond to submissions with regard to the Strategy. Serviced apartments have been amended to be ‘X’ for Residential, as the use is not considered appropriate for the zone. The Mixed use and Neighbourhood Centre zones along the highway are considered most appropriate for this use. 6.8.1 Discussion A review of the zoning has been undertaken in response the WAPC modifications and submissions received to ensure consistency between the proposed zones, the zone objectives, the vision for the City, and proper and orderly planning. In relation to land use permissibility within the Neighbourhood Centre, Mixed Use and Local Centre zones, modifications to the zoning table were required to ensure the zoning changes made for the various precincts aligned with the Strategy and objectives of the zones and facilitated appropriate development outcomes in these locations. Generally, the permissibility of uses has been amended to allow for more discretion in each of the zones. This is particularly appropriate for the Mixed Use zone which now covers a far greater area and
which limits the range and permissibility of land uses in the context of any future redevelopment Urban Development zone will enable current use for AIM to continue, but will allow future bespoke solution through a structure plan to the site which allows for land uses that are more consistent with its current and expected use Development standards should be established through the LDP process in order to adequately assess the impact of any built form proposals prior to a DA being received 6.14.1 Discussion The Private Community Purpose zone has been used to identify sites that are privately owned and operated yet perform a community purpose, generally recreation, institutions or places of worship. It is noted however that there are two places of worship where issues have been raised with the application of the Private Community Purpose zone. The two properties are surrounded by the Residential zone and are of the same lot size, shape and configuration as the residential properties that surround. A return of these properties to the Residential zone (as they exist in TPS2) with the same R-Code as those properties that surround would be in keeping with the character of the area, as set out in the Strategy and therefore can be supported. The other issue raised is in relation to the application of the Private Community Purpose zone to the AIM site in Floreat. In this instance, it is not considered appropriate to rezone the site to Urban Development. The application of the Urban Development zone to this site would not be consistent with the objectives of the zone which are to require comprehensive planning. It is considered that this site could proceed to be developed at a site-specific scale with a local development plan setting out site level development provisions. The ability to proceed to adopt a local development plan is provided for in clause 32 as discussed under 6.1. The land use permissibility for the private community purpose zone has also been reviewed in light of its application, as discussed in the Zoning Table section, with modification made in line with the zone objectives and Strategy. 6.14.2 Recommended changes to advertised Scheme Rezone Private Community Purpose sites in Waratah Ave and Watt St to Residential. Update land use table in line with objectives of the zone. Remove R-Codes from the Scheme map. 6.14.3 Reference in Schedule of Modifications
