COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011 The above summarised amendments are proposed only an interim measure whilst work continues on preparing the Minor Town Planning Scheme for West Leederville. The Access and Parking study, currently being prepared on behalf of the Town, includes a detailed investigation on the application of cash-in-lieu for parking and preparation of practical parking management plans for each of the commercial areas. The outcomes of this study, once completed, will also need to be incorporated into the Minor Town Planning Scheme. POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS: The changes proposed will amend the Policy Manual adopted under Town Planning Scheme No. 1 by replacing Policy 6.5 - Precinct P5: West Leederville with an amended Policy 6.5 - Precinct P5: West Leederville that incorporates development provisions that arose from the West Leederville Planning and Urban Design Study. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The cost of advertising the proposed draft Policy 6.5 - Precinct P5: West Leederville is covered in the Town's budget. STRATEGIC DIRECTION: Amending the West Leederville Precinct Policy works towards goals identified for Key Focus Area ‘Planning for the Community’ of the Town’s Strategic Plan 2009-2020, by introducing provisions to facilitate a choice of housing and the creation of attractive and diverse shopping and business areas into the Scheme. COMMUNITY CONSULTATION: In accordance with clause 48 (7) of Town Planning Scheme No. 1, a planning policy adopted by the Council may be altered or rescinded only by following the procedure for making and adopting a planning policy as set out in this clause. Furthermore, under clause 48 (3) of the Town Planning Scheme, the Council, having prepared a draft planning policy, is required:- (a) to advertise a summary of the draft Planning Policy once a week for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper circulating in the Scheme Area, giving details of where the draft Planning Policy may be inspected, and in what form and during what period (being not less than 21 days) submissions may be made, unless the draft Policy is to be advertised under clause 24 or 25 of the Scheme, in which case no further advertisement is required; (b) where practicable, to notify those persons who, in the opinion of the Council, might be directly affected by the draft Planning Policy; and (c) to forward a copy of the draft Planning Policy to the Western Australian Planning Commission for its consideration and advice in cases where the Council considers that the Policy may be inconsistent with other provisions of the Scheme or with state and regional planning policies. Extensive community consultation was undertaken during the preparation of the West Leederville Planning and Urban Design Study. Over this time, a mailing list of interested persons in the West Leederville Study was compiled. H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\11 MINUTES\DECEMBER 2011\B DV.DOCX 129
COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011 In advertising the proposed draft West Leederville Precinct Policy, the following advertising method is recommended:- advertisements be placed in the local newspapers under the Cambridge noticeboard; a notice and copy of the draft policy be placed on the Town's website; a letter sent to ratepayer groups; a letter sent to the Western Australian Planning Commission; and persons on the West Leederville Planning and Urban Design Mailing List be informed of the proposed draft policy. Given, the approaching Christmas and New Year holidays, advertising of the draft West Leederville Precinct Policy will commence mid January 2012. SUMMARY: The West Leederville Planning and Urban Design Study was concluded in December 2010 and since this time, focus has shifted towards drafting the necessary Town Planning Scheme amendments to implement the study. Whilst progress is being made with these Town Planning Scheme amendments, the initiation of a comprehensive amendment is several months away. In the meantime, to provide clarity in regard to the assessment of development applications, particularly where there are inconsistencies between the West Leederville Study and current Scheme provisions, it is proposed, as an interim measure, to amend current Policy 6.5 - Precinct P5: West Leederville to reflect the findings of the West Leederville Study. It is noted this interim amendment to the precinct policy only addresses built form and development standards for properties within the study area already zoned Commercial. (Changes to zoning of properties and the introduction of specific land use classifications, can only occur through the statutory Town Planning Scheme amendment process, requiring the approval of the WAPC and Minister for Planning.) The use of plot ratio as a development control measure is maintained in the draft West Leederville Precinct Policy, with the application of bonus plot ratio being proposed as a tool to encourage desired urban design outcomes (such as laneway and pedestrian connections and amalgamation of lots) and to assist in implementing the objectives from the indicative development plans, which were prepared as part of the study. In this regard, it is also recommended that legal advice be sought on the proposed draft West Leederville Precinct Policy, to ensure the statutory effectiveness of the policy provisions. The proposed draft West Leederville Precinct Policy, as detailed above and as attached, is submitted for adoption for advertising. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
