COUNCIL MINUTES
TUESDAY 28 AUGUST 2012
• Waste collection from a verge, public street or property frontage will not be permitted.
Collection is to be effected from a ROW (where possible) or purpose built bin storage
and waste collection areas incorporated within the building and accessible by waste
collection service vehicles.
• Submit details outlining how commercial and residential waste will be recycled,
including onsite disposal and collection by waste management contractor.
• Waste collection must be taken from rights of way where available.
The following provision has been deleted as it has been replaced with a clause that
necessitates waste be collected from specifically designated areas incorporated within the
building and screened from public view.
• Further design of buildings and access arrangements that allow for waste collection
directly from the bin storage area are encouraged and will be favourably considered.
It was also considered appropriate to incorporate the bin storage and waste collection
provisions in the development standards section of the Policy for the other commercial areas
in the Commercial Zone, and also for the Commercial/Residential and Medical Zones.
POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:
The changes proposed will again amend the Policy Manual adopted under Town Planning
Scheme No. 1 by replacing Policy 6.5 - Precinct P5: West Leederville (adopted by Council
on 26 June 2012) with a further amended Policy 6.5 - Precinct P5: West Leederville that
incorporates revised development provisions arising from the West Leederville Planning and
Urban Design Study and additional input from the Town Planning Scheme Review Steering
Committee.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of advertising Council's draft Policy 6.5 - Precinct P5: West Leederville in the local
paper and advising the various interested parties is covered in the Town's budget.
STRATEGIC DIRECTION:
Further amendments proposed to the West Leederville Precinct Policy are consistent with
the goals identified for the Key Focus Area 'Planning for the Community' in the Town's
Strategic Plan 2009-2020, and will assist with facilitating a choice of housing and the
creation of attractive and diverse shopping and business areas for the Town.
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION:
Background
