COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011 2.3 The landscaping of the site The applicant has provided a landscaping and paving concept plan to accompany the application. The West Leederville Planning and Urban Design Study requires green forecourts along Railway Parade to soften the overall visual impact as viewed from the street. The landscaping concept plan shows the inclusion of planter boxes located around the front elevation of the building, breaking up the areas of paving. The main pedestrian entry, and similarly, the location of the café are oriented towards Railway Parade. Both these activities require their adjacent areas to be paved to allow for pedestrian movement and seating. Further, it is noted the inclusion of the basement car park, limits the level of landscaping that could reasonably be accommodated. On balance, it is considered that the inclusion of the planter boxes meet the intent of the study and provide green relief along the front elevation. It is considered with the inclusion of planter boxes, located around the front elevation of the building, provides for this desired 'green' forecourt. The rear of the site (as viewed from Nicholson Street) is proposed to be landscaped, with terraced lawn areas and a winding universal access pedestrian path leading up to the building. A landscaping strip is also provided for the length of the pedestrian access way along the eastern boundary, screening the adjacent commercial building, which is currently constructed to the boundary. Different paving treatments are also proposed to provide interest and to break up the different pedestrian areas. The layout of landscaping and paving is generally supported as shown in the concept plan, however further details of plantings and a reticulation plan should be submitted with the building licence application for approval. On-going maintenance of the landscaping would also be required. 2.4 Other matters Waste Management The applicant proposes to engage a private waste service provider to collect waste and recycling once the building is operational, as follows: For the offices: General waste and paper collected minimum 3 times per week Recyclables collected weekly Organic waste collected twice weekly For the café: General waste collected minimum 3 times per week Cardboard and recyclables collected weekly Used cooking oil collected on request A bin storage area is provided to the rear of the development next to the driveway to enter into the basement car park from Nicholson Street. The bin storage provided is considered adequate in size to contain both the bins for the development and also room for the manoeuvring of bins.

COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011 It is proposed that the waste/recycling vehicles will enter the premises from Nicholson Street by turning left into land ceded for the new ROW and reverse to park next to the waste compound. The doors to the bin storage area face towards the ROW to allow for easy access. The applicant has provided a swept path representation to demonstrate adequate turn-around area is provided to accommodate the waste vehicles or any other large service vehicles that may have reason to visit the site. Also, to minimise the disruption to residents along Nicholson Street, waste and recycling vehicles should only access the site during the hours of 7am to 7pm. Previous neighbour comments Whilst there was no specific requirements under the TPS to advertise the proposal, owners and residents of property abutting the development site were invited to view the concept plans when they were first submitted in February 2011. Three submissions were received from residents of Nicholson Street, which outlined the following concerns: Vehicular access from Nicholson Street; Details regarding access for service vehicles and rubbish collection; Storm water management Opening hours for the restaurant Disruption and vibration during building construction (in the event of approval) Vehicular access from Nicholson Street and waste management are discussed above. In regards to operating hours of the café, the applicant advises that the café initially will only operate during business hours (7am - 6pm) on weekdays and will predominantly service the office and possibly surrounding neighbours and businesses in the vicinity. Should the hours of operation change, further approval would be sought and information provided regarding the availability of basement parking for customers. Information regarding future storm water and construction management is provided at the building licence stage for approval. To assist with the preparation of these plans, the owner can be advised of the above residents concerns. POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS: The proposal was assessed against the provisions of Town Planning Scheme No.1 and the objectives and intent of the West Leederville Planning and Urban Design Study. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no Financial Implications related to this report. STRATEGIC DIRECTION: Consideration of this application is consistent with the Town's Strategic Plan 2009-2020 and Priority Area 'Planning for Our Community' in regard to the goals for 'attractive and diverse business areas' and 'transport options'.
