SUMMARY:
The Town has received an application for three structures at No. 14 Bournville Street,
Floreat. The plans show a new gatehouse within the secondary street setback, a cabana
located within the rear setback of the property and a shed that is located on the north-west
side of the dwelling.
The application requires a Council determination assessment under the performance criteria
relating to the cabana within the rear boundary setback and the gatehouse within the
secondary street setback. An objection has been received about the cabana, which cannot
be resolved.
