Council Minutes - Town of Cambridge

COUNCIL MINUTES
TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011
orderly planning to enhance the Town's natural and built environment through effective and
responsible use of the Town Planning Scheme.
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION:
Should the Council initiate the Scheme Amendment, consultation will be required under the
Town Planning Regulations.
SUMMARY:
An application has been received for a scheme amendment for an additional use 'consulting
rooms group - dental surgery' to allow a dental surgery to operate at Lot 353 (No. 24) Floreat
Avenue, Floreat.
It is considered that the proposal for four dental consulting rooms is suitable for the location
opposite a car parking entry to the Floreat Forum. It is a small scale commercial use which will
operate by appointment only. The proposal will also allow for future redevelopment in the area
should this be identified as appropriate into the future through the Town Planning Scheme
Review. The additional use would be accompanied by development standards to maintain a
residential appearance and limit impacts on adjacent properties and the streetscape.
