COUNCIL MINUTES<br />
TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011<br />
Policy 6.5 - Precinct P5: West Leederville (West Leederville Precinct Policy) provides<br />
development standards for the area <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> bounded by Gregory Street, Salvado Road,<br />
Railway Parade, L<strong>of</strong>tus Street, the freeway and Lake Monger Drive. The format <strong>of</strong> the West<br />
Leederville Precinct Policy is set out in such a way that each zone within the precinct (being<br />
Residential, Commercial, Residential/Commercial and Medical) have specific development<br />
standards prescribed. The vision for the Community Node (Leederville <strong>Town</strong> Hall), which is<br />
reserved for Parks and Recreation, is also included.<br />
The West Leederville Precinct Policy further divides the Commercial Zone into three identifiable<br />
areas being Southport Street Commercial Area, Rosslyn Street Commercial Area and Vincent<br />
Street West Commercial Area. Other commercial areas not associated with these three defined<br />
centres are referred to as Other Commercial Areas.<br />
The Southport Street Commercial Area and the Rosslyn Street Commercial Area fall within the<br />
West Leederville Planning and Urban Design Study area boundary and as such, it is the<br />
development standards that relate to these two commercial areas that are proposed to be<br />
amended to reflect the findings <strong>of</strong> the West Leederville Study. Similarly, the Community Node<br />
is also within the West Leederville Study area and the vision for this node is also proposed to be<br />
amended.<br />
Proposed Amendments to West Leederville Precinct Policy<br />
A summary <strong>of</strong> the changes to the West Leederville Precinct Policy are provided below. A copy<br />
<strong>of</strong> the West Leederville Precinct Policy (as amended) is attached. Note, the proposed new<br />
provisions in the precinct policy are shown in red in the attachment.<br />
The changes proposed to the policy have been informed by the West Leederville Planning and<br />
Urban Design Study and the Indicative Development Plans (IDPs) that were prepared for each<br />
node. The IDP's illustrate how the planning and development principles adopted for West<br />
Leederville might be applied and show the possible network <strong>of</strong> streets, laneways and pedestrian<br />
routes, building layouts and public spaces that could develop over time.<br />
