Local Planning Policy 3.22: Waste Management

ADOPTION DATE: Draft June 2019

AMENDED DATE: Nil

AUTHORITY: Planning and Development Act 2005 Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015

INTRODUCTION

This policy details the requirements relating to waste management and minimisation to be considered in the design, construction and management of any proposed development. All aspects of waste management should be considered in the initial design phase, including waste generation, recycling, storage and collection. Early consideration of waste management will ensure effective integration of facilities into the design without detriment to the visual and physical amenity of the building, and improve convenience, efficiency and safety for occupants and waste removal services. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Town's Waste Department for further information regarding waste collection and the development of Waste Management Plans. APPLICATION

This policy applies to development on land that is reserved or zoned within the Town of Cambridge, with the exception of: • the erection or extension of a single house; • the erection or extension of less than four grouped dwellings; • the erection or extension of an ancillary dwelling, outbuilding, external fixture,

boundary wall or fence, patio, pergola, verandah, garage, carport or swimming pool on the same lot as a single house or grouped dwelling.

For residential development that the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes) Volume 1 applies, the provisions of this policy augments the deemed-to-comply provisions of clause 5.4.4 C4.6 of the R-Codes. Where a residential development application does not satisfy the provisions requirements of this policy, or the deemed-to-comply requirements of the R-Codes, and proposes to address the design principles of clause 5.4.4 P4.2, the objectives of this policy shall be additional matters for consideration when applying the design principles. For residential development that the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes) Volume 2 applies, reference is made to equivalent local government requirements for Acceptable Outcomes A4.17.1 to A4.17.3, the Town's Waste Management Planning Guidelines are applicable. For commercial, industrial and all other non-residential developments where a development application does not satisfy the provisions of this policy, the application shall be assessed against the objectives of this policy. OBJECTIVES

• Waste storage and collection facilities minimise impacts on the streetscape, public realm, building entry and amenity of residents.

• Occupants have convenient, safe and equitable access to both waste and recycling facilities.

• Waste storage and collection facilities designed to minimise waste, particularly waste to landfill.

• Waste storage and collection facilities are designed to maximise safety for waste collectors, occupants and the general public.

• Establish and maintain consistent, cost effective and functional waste management practices for developments.

PROVISIONS

1 Introduction

These guidelines are intended as a guide for developers, architects, waste consultants and

Development Application applicants in the Town of Cambridge. The Town's Waste Policies Policy

5.3.1 Waste Removal Service - Residential Properties Developments, Policy 5.3.2 Waste Removal

Service - Commercial/Business Premises and Local Planning Policy 3.22: Waste Management

requires all group dwellings greater three units to provide a Waste Management Plan to the

satisfaction of the Director of Infrastructure as part of the development application assessment

process. While Policy 5.3.1 Waste Removal Service - Residential Properties Developments

requires all multiple dwellings to provide a Waste Management Plan to the satisfaction of the

Director of Infrastructure as part of the development application assessment process.

The guidelines will assist in preparing a plan to manage the waste and recycling needs of the

development and considers multi-unit developments, mixed use developments and commercial

developments. Multi-unit developments with multiple towers will need to address waste and

recycling requirements for each tower.

Any waste management plan is to be discussed with the Council's Waste Department at the pre-

application stage for any development. The waste management plan should include details of:

Land use type (multi-residential, mixed use or commercial);

Number of levels;

Number of dwellings or units (studio, one, two or three bedrooms);

Size of each commercial area;

Commercial usage type (café, restaurant, office, retail, etc.)

The guidelines will also deal with the following:

Waste and recycling generation;

Waste systems;

Bin size and colour

Bin allocation;

Bin storage area;

Collection location

Collection frequency;

Verge collections;

Scaled waste management drawings; and

Additional waste requirements.

Council strongly encourages developers to design appropriate, efficient and safe waste and

recycling collection systems in all developments which meet the requirements for Council

collections.

2 Waste and recycling generation

The Town's minimum residential waste and recycling allocation per rateable property is 1 x120L

litres per week for waste and 2 x 240L or 2 x 360L per week for recycling. The waste and recycling

requirements for residents in multiunit dwellings are typically lower than this as shown in Table 1.

3 Waste systems for multi-unit dwellings

Applicants must ensure that it is as easy to dispose of recyclable as it is waste. The following

waste options exist for multi-unit developments:

a) Option 1: Use 660L bins for waste and 660L bins for recycling with bins stored in communal

storage area(s). Residents may be required to carry all waste and recycling from their

dwelling direct to the communal bin area(s).

b) Option 2: A single waste chute leading to a central waste collection area in the basement or

ground level and a recycling bin on each floor level.

c) Option3: A dual chute system for waste and recycling leading to a central waste and

recycling collection area in the basement or ground level.

For options 2 and 3 detailed descriptions of the waste systems must be provided, including but not

limited to:

Number of chutes;

No of bin carousels;

Compaction equipment; and

Bin tugs and towing devices.

3

The minimum waste system requirement based on development size is shown in Table 3.

Table 3: Waste System Minimum Requirements

Number of floors/storeys Preferred Waste System

<10 Resident accessible bin store at ground level or basement level

>10 Single waste chute and recycling bin on each level; or

Dual chutes providing for both waste and recycling on each level

Where chute systems are installed, the Town recommends bins to have reinforced bases for bin

longevity. Property managers are to bear the cost of reinforcing bin bases. Large cardboard, hard

waste and charity goods should be taken to drop-off points within the building to minimise blockage

of chutes. Where waste chutes are utilised the waste may be compacted by a ratio of 2:1.

4 Waste systems for mixed use developments

Mixed use developments incorporate both residential and commercial use within the same

development. The size of the development may vary from small to high rise with the commercial

component located on the ground floor. Best practice waste management in mixed use

developments requires the complete separation of residential and commercial waste. Waste and

recycling systems should be designed that there is no negative effect on the residential dwellings

within the development particularly in relation to noise, odour and collection times.

Under the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act 2007, Local Governments are

responsible for the collection of waste from residential services and are not obliged to collect waste

from commercial premises. However, a commercial premise can avail of the Town's standard

waste services: 1 x 240L waste bin collected weekly and 2 x 360L recycling bins collected

fortnightly. Additional bins incur additional waste fees.

Alternatively, depending on the nature and size of the commercial component of the development

the body corporate may choose to utilise a private waste collection contractor. In relation to the

options available for the residential component of the mixed use development please refer to

Section 3 Waste systems for multi-unit dwellings.

5 Bin size and colour

The Waste Management Plan must provide details on the number of bins and their size. The Town

may at its discretion provide a multi-unit development with larger bins (660L). The size and

quantities of bins depends on the size of the development and the estimated waste and recycling

volumes. The Town's standard bin sizes and dimensions are listed below in Table 4 and Table 5.

Commercial/Mixed Use Individual bin stores

240L or 660L

360L or 660L 240L

Developments with shared bins must include an easily accessible communal bin storage area

within the development. In the case of mixed use developments separate residential and

commercial bin storage areas are required. For all bin stores the following details must be

provided:

Bin area size (m2);

Bin layout;

Wash down area;

Ventilation;

Vermin prevention and control;

Noise;

Stormwater pollution prevention and

Adequate circulation space for manoeuvring bins within the store must be allowed.

7 Collection Location

Waste and recycling bins must always be stored on site on non-collection days. It is a requirement

of the Town's Waste Local Law to store bins in a storage space or area that is behind the street

alignment unless otherwise approved by Council.

For developments over 10 dwellings the Councils preference is for on-site collection of all bins. A

suitable alternative to on-site collections is the provision of a bin store area opening directly on to

the street. The strata company or building manager is responsible for preparing the bins for

collection or providing access for the waste contractor to the bin area. If bins are stored in a

5

basement level the building manager is responsible for ensuring the bins are taken to ground level

for collection. Bins should be transported via a ramp (1:14 gradient) and in a safe manner. The aid

of a mechanical tug can be used to assist with larger bins. After collections bins are returned to the

bin store area. Bins are not to be left on the kerb at any time.

7.1 On-site collections

Where on site collection is proposed to service the development, adequate and safe access must

be provided for the Council's waste collection contractor vehicles as follows:

a) The site must be designed to allow collection vehicles to enter and exit the site in a forward

direction and to adequately manoeuver once onsite.

b) A turning circle is to be provided to cater for the Council's waste collection contractor

vehicles if they cannot continue through the development in a forward direction as vehicles

are not permitted to reverse out of the site due to Health and Safety concerns. Turning

circle details are available from the Council's Infrastructure Department

c) Any turning circle considerations must also include allowances for driver manoeuvring

clearance and overhangs. A manoeuvring clearance of at least 0.3m on both sides of the

theoretical swept path should be accommodated.

d) The route of travel for the waste vehicle is to be of sufficient strength and quality to support

the Councils waste collection contractor rear-lif vehicles;

e) The minimum basement height clearance for waste collection vehicle access is 3m

f) The grades of entry and exit ramps and manoeuvrability (including turning circles) must not

exceed the capabilities of the waste collection vehicle and are to comply with the

Australian Standard AS 2890.2:2002 Parking Facilities: Off Street Commercial Vehicle

Facilities

g) The responsible entity (strata/corporate body) is responsible for the maintenance of the

common property (including roads) within the development. An indemnity provided by

Council is required to be signed by the responsible entity prior to waste collections services

being provided, which indemnifies both Council and its waste collection contractors from

claims relating to damage caused through the collection process.

h) Access to the collection point must be available from 7am-4pm

Applicants should contact the Council's Waste Section to confirm truck sizes prior to submitting a

waste management plan.

7.2 Bin area opening to street

A suitable alternative to on-site collection of bins is the provision of a bin store opening directly

onto the street. Waste collection vehicle operators would park the vehicle (in a legal parking area),

retrieve the bins from the storage area or presentation area, empty them and return them

immediately. Depending on the number of bins to be serviced assistance may be required from the

building manager. Approval must be obtained from Council for any special on street parking

restrictions to facilitate waste collections. Bins are not to be presented or left on the kerb at any

time.

8 Collection Frequency

Typical collection frequencies are determined by the development size and type of on-site waste

generation. Council currently offers weekly waste collection and fortnightly recycling collections.

Additional collection frequencies incur additional waste and recycling fees.

6

9 Scaled waste management drawings

A set of scaled drawings must be provided that shows the following details:

Residential and commercial floor levels illustrating waste and recycling storage;

Bin storage areas including any chutes, carousels and bins;

Bin numbers and size of bins;

Bin presentation location with bin alignment shown;

Ramp grades;

Access to bin storage area and/or chutes; and

Swept path analysis illustrating sufficient access to collect bins.

10 Additional waste requirements

a) Council recommends all multi-unit developments provide space for one charity bin.

Charity bins are available in various sizes with 1m2 being adequate for most

developments. Most charities offer a free service including supply and collection of bin,

and will generally collect clothing, used furniture and homewares in good condition. A

list of charities is available at giv.org.au

b) Signs will be required at drop-off points (if utilising chutes) and within the bin storage

area to encourage correct segregation of waste and recycling and reduce

contamination

c) Developers must consider the storage and disposal of hard waste. Council does not

provide a verge collection service for residents in multi-unit dwellings and mixed use

developments that do not have sufficient verge space. In lieu of a verge collection

service, property owners can avail of four tip passes per financial year from the Council

to dispose of material at the Western Metropolitan Resource Recovery Centre in

Shenton Park

1 Local Planning Policy 2.5: Precinct P5: West Leederville

Local Planning Policy 2.5: Precinct P5: West Leederville

INTRODUCTION

The West Leederville Precinct comprises a residential area with a mix of low and medium density housing and high density dwellings and commercial properties in defined centres and along Cambridge Street. The precinct also includes St John of God Hospital and the medical and health services that surround the hospital.

This Policy is divided into the following sections:-

Residential Zone;

Mixed Use Zone (Cambridge High Street Node, Residential Interface Node andSouthport Street Node);

Commercial Zone (Vincent Street West and Other Commercial Areas);

Residential/Commercial Zone;

Medical Zone; and

Community Node - Leederville Town Hall.

This policy gives effect to the vision for future development of this area between the Leederville and West Leederville train stations, centred along Cambridge Street, led by the West Leederville Planning and Urban Design Study, adopted by Council in December 2010 and the West Leederville Activity Centre Plan 2011.

The following policy provides statements of intent and development standards for each zone and node in the precinct, which, in addition to any other relevant policy, are to be used to assess applications for development within the precinct. Policy requirements under all other local planning policies also apply unless specifically varied in the precinct policy.


This policy applies to development in the West Leederville Precinct (see map below).

draft LPP2.6 - Tracked Changes Copy


1. RESIDENTIAL ZONE

1.1. Statement of intent

A range of dwelling densities and dwelling types will be accommodated in residential areas. Grouped and multiple dwellings at medium and high densities will be favourably considered in the east and south area of the precinct, and along Cambridge Street.

Existing character of the area will be enhanced by:

- an emphasis on rear laneway access to retain existing streetscapes;

- avoidance of high fences or walls at the street alignment; and

- new infill dwellings to respect the scale and significant forms (e.g. roof pitches) of existing dwellings.

The ‘Hill of Tara’ area, comprising development along Kavanagh Street, Lake Monger Drive and the Hill of Tara Estate represents a different, more modern streetscape from the rest of West Leederville. A wider variety of housing design, including roof pitches, will therefore be permitted.

A limited number of non-residential uses such as local shops, child care facilities, recreation areas and primary schools are also appropriate where they serve the immediate day to day needs of local residents and are an integral part of the residential environment. These uses will only be supported by the Responsible Authority where they are small in scale, and are not likely to cause any significant disturbance to adjacent residences or the residential character of the area.

Existing large scale non-residential uses being the Catholic Education Centre and the Catherine McAuley Centre are recognised as established within the precinct and it is appropriate that they remain. Existing local parks provide important recreation facilities for surrounding residents. Any new development or activity in these areas must be consistent with their primary function.

1.2. Development standards

Development shall be in accordance with the Residential Design Codes, Town Planning Scheme and any relevant planning policies contained in this manual.



2. MIXED USE ZONE (CAMBRIDGE HIGH STREET NODE, RESIDENTIAL INTERFACE NODE AND SOUTHPORT STREET NODE)


The overall objective for these areas is to encourage and allow development which contributes to the improvement of the area through the replacement of older buildings with well-designed new buildings which improve the appearance and useability of streets and have ground floor commercial or retail uses

Improvements such as laneway connections, public space, enhanced pedestrian connections and shared parking facilities will be desirable outcomes in areas that currently lack these amenities and as determined by the Responsible Authority.

Cambridge High Street Node

The Cambridge High Street Node (area shown below) should have a lively activated street character and accommodate retail, commercial and mixed use development, taking advantage of its proximity to the West Leederville train station.



Southport Street Node

The Southport Street Node (area shown below) will accommodate larger and taller buildings, taking advantage of the close proximity of the area to the city centre, West Perth and Leederville centres, as well as nearby train stations and freeway access.

Residential Interface Node

There are restrictions on development in the Residential Interface Node (lots shown below), where building heights and setbacks are strictly controlled to minimise the impact on adjacent streets and properties. Consideration will be given to the nature of uses, and their design and layout to minimise the impact on adjacent residential uses and to ensure a high standard of design appropriate to such locations.




Development shall be in accordance with any relevant provisions of the Town Planning Scheme and any relevant local planning policies. In the case of residential development, this shall also be in accordance with the Residential Design Codes.

(i) Indicative Development Plans

In considering applications for subdivision and development approval, the Responsible Authority will have regard to the following objectives of the respective Indicative Development Plans (see Figures 1 and 2).

Indicative Development Plans were prepared as part of the West Leederville Planning and Urban Design Study. They provide an illustration of how future development of the area could occur to meet the desired planning outcomes and form the basis of several development standards in this Policy. Reference will be made to these plans when assessing individual development proposals.

The Indicative Development Plans reflect circumstances as they were at the time they were prepared and it is noted that over time development opportunities may change.

In the case of any inconsistency between the Indicative Development Plan and standards contained in this policy, the policy standards shall prevail.

Figure 2: Southport Street Node Indicative Development Plan



(ii) Plot ratio

Cambridge High Street Node and Southport Street Node

Buildings shall not exceed a plot ratio of 1:1, except in the case where bonus plot ratio is approved. Development requirements to achieve bonus plot ratio are defined in Table 1, subject to the requirement to qualify for bonus plot ratio in accordance with the third paragraph of this clause, and are cumulative.

The application of bonus plot ratio does not entitle a development to exceed building height, setback and other development provisions of this Policy.

A development will not qualify for bonus plot ratio in Table 1 unless it meets development requirements 3, 5, 7 or 9 as applicable, irrespective of whether additional development requirements in Table 1 are also satisfied.

(vi) Design elements

Awnings

Development shall incorporate a ground level awning over the footpath to provide weather protection for pedestrians, with the exception of development abutting Abbotsford Street, Railway Parade and Loftus Street. Awnings should be contiguous with a minimum depth of 2 metres, subject to Local Government and Private Property Local Law 2001.

High level awnings and shading over windows are encouraged to add interest to building facades and to improve energy efficiency.

Balconies

Balconies proposed along street frontages should be unenclosed platforms with balustrades not exceeding a height of 1.2 metres. Visually permeable balustrades are encouraged.

In the case of development in the Residential Interface Node, balconies facing Residential Zoned properties shall have solid balustrading to a height of 1.2 metres.

Walls and surfaces

Exposed blank walls to the street or corner frontages are not permitted. Street elevations shall be articulated to enhance building identity and reduce apparent bulk through the use of, but not limited to:

- projections and indentations in the floor plan;

- window projections and openings;

- related awning and roof elements;

- unenclosed balconies; and

- changes in materials and finishes.

Use of reflective or obscure glazing to windows is not permitted along ground floor street frontages to promote surveillance of the street and allow for visible indoor activity.

Entrances

Entrances to the building should be exposed to the main street and be clearly defined and identifiable.

Roof pitch

Roofs for street front buildings may be flat or pitched. Where a pitch is employed, the pitch should be within 25 and 42 degrees where visible from the street.

Special corner design features

Architectural design elements are encouraged to assist with defining corner locations or the creation of landmark buildings. These corner elements should be open and transparent and demonstrate a lighter architecture. They cannot be used to incorporate additional floor space in the development.



Architectural design elements may take the form of, but not limited to:

- higher parapet facades to a maximum 2 storeys above the third storey;

- cantilevered canopies located higher at the corner truncation;

- distinct roof forms;

- tower elements to a maximum 2 storeys above the third storey;

- building truncations;

- wall projections and features; and/or

- artwork.

Architectural design elements that extend into the street setback may be considered.

Architectural design elements shall only extend 10 metres from the street intersection (see Figure 9).

Figure 9: Architectural design elements at street corners

(vii) Parking and access

Any on-site parking associated with new development shall be placed in car parks either behind street front tenancies or fully below natural ground level.

At-grade parking areas should be designed to connect, or allow connection with, at-grade parking on adjoining sites to encourage shared parking, where possible.

(viii) Bin storage and waste collection

Bins and bin storage for all developments must not be visible from a verge, public street or property frontage.

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 area incorporated within the building and accessible by waste collection service vehicles.

The location, size and design of bin storage areas should be considered in the initial design phase of any proposed development. Particular attention must be given to how waste vehicles will access bin storage areas; providing for necessary height clearances, width of vehicles and vehicle turning movements.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to liaise with a waste management contractor to assist with the design of bin storage areas and preparation of waste management plans.

Applications for development approval must be accompanied by a waste management plan that details:

Space

- Type of waste;

- Estimated waste generation;

- Estimated recyclable material generation;

- Size and number of bins; and

- Space allocated for bin storage (highlight on plans).

Access

- Access arrangements by occupiers of the building to waste facilities (highlight on plans);

- Access arrangements by collection contractors to waste facilities (highlight on plans);

- Frequency of waste collection service;

- Specify minimum height, width and turning movements for vehicular access to waste area; and

- Locate bin areas to minimise impact on adjacent residential areas and limit conflict with pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Amenity

- Describe how noise and odour associated with the use of the bins and collection of waste has been minimised;

- Ventilation of bin storage areas; and

- Facilities for washing bins and bin storage areas.



Management

- Describe specific arrangements to be put in place to ensure successful management of the waste facilities and their collection; and

- Submit details outlining how commercial and residential waste will be recycled, including onsite disposal and collection by waste management contractor.

Where a mixed use development is proposed (residential and commercial), bin storage for residential waste is to be self-contained and completely separate from bin storage areas for commercial waste.

Waste collection must be taken from rights of way where available.

Where the number of bins required to service waste needs exceeds 20 x 240L bins (or equivalent capacity), bulk bins should be used.

(ix) (viii) Residential development

'R-AC 0' coding applies to residential development with plot ratio, building height, street and boundary setbacks and height of boundary walls assessed under the provisions of this Policy. All other requirements shall be in accordance with the Residential Design Codes.

3. COMMERCIAL ZONE (VINCENT STREET WEST AND OTHER Commercial AREAS)


Commercial Zoned areas in West Leederville comprise the Vincent Street West Commercial Area and Other Commercial Areas.

Vincent Street West Commercial Area and Other Commercial Areas will continue to accommodate a range of small to medium scale commercial uses. Community facilities, local shopping uses and mixed use (residential and commercial) developments will also be favourably considered.

Local Planning Policy 2.5: Precinct P5: West Leederville

INTRODUCTION

The West Leederville Precinct comprises a residential area with a mix of low andmedium density housing and high density dwellings and commercial properties indefined centres and along Cambridge Street. The precinct also includes St John ofGod Hospital and the medical and health services that surround the hospital.

This Policy is divided into the following sections:-

Residential Zone;

Mixed Use Zone (Cambridge High Street Node, Residential Interface Node andSouthport Street Node);

Commercial Zone (Vincent Street West and Other Commercial Areas);

Residential/Commercial Zone;

Medical Zone; and

Community Node - Leederville Town Hall.

This policy gives effect to the vision for future development of this area between theLeederville and West Leederville train stations, centred along Cambridge Street, ledby the West Leederville Planning and Urban Design Study, adopted by Council inDecember 2010 and the West Leederville Activity Centre Plan 2011.

The following policy provides statements of intent and development standards foreach zone and node in the precinct, which, in addition to any other relevant policy,are to be used to assess applications for development within the precinct. Policyrequirements under all other local planning policies also apply unless specificallyvaried in the precinct policy.


This policy applies to development in the West Leederville Precinct (see map below).

draft LPP2.6 - Final


1. RESIDENTIAL ZONE


A range of dwelling densities and dwelling types will be accommodated in residential areas. Grouped and multiple dwellings at medium and high densities will be favourably considered in the east and south area of the precinct, and along Cambridge Street.

Existing character of the area will be enhanced by:

- an emphasis on rear laneway access to retain existing streetscapes;

- avoidance of high fences or walls at the street alignment; and

- new infill dwellings to respect the scale and significant forms (e.g. roof pitches) of existing dwellings.

The ‘Hill of Tara’ area, comprising development along Kavanagh Street, Lake Monger Drive and the Hill of Tara Estate represents a different, more modern streetscape from the rest of West Leederville. A wider variety of housing design, including roof pitches, will therefore be permitted.

A limited number of non-residential uses such as local shops, child care facilities, recreation areas and primary schools are also appropriate where they serve the immediate day to day needs of local residents and are an integral part of the residential environment. These uses will only be supported by the Responsible Authority where they are small in scale, and are not likely to cause any significant disturbance to adjacent residences or the residential character of the area.

Existing large scale non-residential uses being the Catholic Education Centre and the Catherine McAuley Centre are recognised as established within the precinct and it is appropriate that they remain. Existing local parks provide important recreation facilities for surrounding residents. Any new development or activity in these areas must be consistent with their primary function.


Development shall be in accordance with the Residential Design Codes, Town Planning Scheme and any relevant planning policies contained in this manual.


2. MIXED USE ZONE (CAMBRIDGE HIGH STREET NODE, RESIDENTIAL INTERFACE NODE AND SOUTHPORT STREET NODE)


The overall objective for these areas is to encourage and allow development which contributes to the improvement of the area through the replacement of older buildings with well-designed new buildings which improve the appearance and useability of streets and have ground floor commercial or retail uses

Improvements such as laneway connections, public space, enhanced pedestrian connections and shared parking facilities will be desirable outcomes in areas that currently lack these amenities and as determined by the Responsible Authority.


The Cambridge High Street Node (area shown below) should have a lively activated street character and accommodate retail, commercial and mixed use development, taking advantage of its proximity to the West Leederville train station.



The Southport Street Node (area shown below) will accommodate larger and taller buildings, taking advantage of the close proximity of the area to the city centre, West Perth and Leederville centres, as well as nearby train stations and freeway access.


There are restrictions on development in the Residential Interface Node (lots shown below), where building heights and setbacks are strictly controlled to minimise the impact on adjacent streets and properties. Consideration will be given to the nature of uses, and their design and layout to minimise the impact on adjacent residential uses and to ensure a high standard of design appropriate to such locations.



Development shall be in accordance with any relevant provisions of the Town Planning Scheme and any relevant local planning policies. In the case of residential development, this shall also be in accordance with the Residential Design Codes.

(i) Indicative Development Plans

In considering applications for subdivision and development approval, the Responsible Authority will have regard to the following objectives of the respective Indicative Development Plans (see Figures 1 and 2).

Indicative Development Plans were prepared as part of the West Leederville Planning and Urban Design Study. They provide an illustration of how future development of the area could occur to meet the desired planning outcomes and form the basis of several development standards in this Policy. Reference will be made to these plans when assessing individual development proposals.

The Indicative Development Plans reflect circumstances as they were at the time they were prepared and it is noted that over time development opportunities may change.

In the case of any inconsistency between the Indicative Development Plan and standards contained in this policy, the policy standards shall prevail.

Figure 2: Southport Street Node Indicative Development Plan


(ii) Plot ratio

Cambridge High Street Node and Southport Street Node

Buildings shall not exceed a plot ratio of 1:1, except in the case where bonus plot ratio is approved. Development requirements to achieve bonus plot ratio are defined in Table 1, subject to the requirement to qualify for bonus plot ratio in accordance with the third paragraph of this clause, and are cumulative.

The application of bonus plot ratio does not entitle a development to exceed building height, setback and other development provisions of this Policy.

A development will not qualify for bonus plot ratio in Table 1 unless it meets development requirements 3, 5, 7 or 9 as applicable, irrespective of whether additional development requirements in Table 1 are also satisfied.

For developments in the Residential Interface Node, plot ratio does not apply, nor does the plot ratio bonus system apply. Development is to be controlled through building height and setback provisions as outlined below and any other policy requirement which may restrict development potential.



Maximum and minimum building heights apply as specified in Table 2. Development must accumulate the required plot ratio in accordance with Table 1 irrespective of the maximum height.

The ground floor will not exceed a maximum height of 4.0 metres measured floor to floor with all other floors a maximum height of 3.5 metres per floor measured floor to floor.

Ground floor to first floor height shall be a minimum 3.2 metres with a minimum floor to ceiling clearance of 3.0 metres.

Where a level of basement parking is less than 1.5 metres below an adjoining right of way, the level of basement parking shall be counted as one storey as viewed from the right of way.

* The Former Bethel Site (Lot 38 Railway Parade) is identified as an icon site where a building height up to 10 storeys is permitted, subject to the provision of public parking (minimum 100 bays) and an activated plaza and integrated pedestrian laneway connecting Railway Parade and Cambridge Street.


(iv) Street setbacks

The number of storeys for the purpose of street setbacks is determined from the ground floor at the respective street frontage.

Refer to Figures 3, 4 and 5 (Street setbacks) for setbacks for different storeys of developments.

Figure 3: Street setbacks

Where residential accommodation is proposed above ground floor, balconies for dwellings may extend back over the street setback for the second and third storeys only.

Provision of visual truncations where two streets, or a street and right of way, intersect to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority.

Figure 5: Street setbacks (ground to third storey) - Cambridge High Street Node and Residential Interface Node


(v) Boundary and right of way setbacks

Boundary (side and rear) and right of way setbacks are specified in Table 3 and Figures 6, 7 and 8. Balconies shall not extend over the boundary setbacks.

In the case of development in the Residential Interface Node, balconies may protrude into the 11.5 metre setback to the Residential Zone boundary, up to 5.0 metres on the third and 2.5 metres on the fourth floor, subject to provision of solid balustrading (refer to Figure 8).

ROW continuation

Where required, development at ground level shall be set back a minimum of 6.0 metres from a side or rear boundary to allow for the continuation of a right of way.

ROW widening

Development may be required to be setback from an adjacent ROW, at ground level, to facilitate two-way vehicular traffic.

Where rights of way separate the proposed development site from an adjacent residential zoned lot the width of the ROW is included in the setback measurement, except in the case of buildings in the Residential Interface Node.

Visual truncation for ROW

Provision of visual truncations where rights of way intersect with a street or another ROW to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority.

(vi) Design elements

Awnings

Development shall incorporate a ground level awning over the footpath to provide weather protection for pedestrians, with the exception of development abutting Abbotsford Street, Railway Parade and Loftus Street. Awnings should be contiguous with a minimum depth of 2 metres, subject to Local Government and Private Property Local Law 2001.

High level awnings and shading over windows are encouraged to add interest to building facades and to improve energy efficiency.

Balconies

Balconies proposed along street frontages should be unenclosed platforms with balustrades not exceeding a height of 1.2 metres. Visually permeable balustrades are encouraged.

In the case of development in the Residential Interface Node, balconies facing Residential Zoned properties shall have solid balustrading to a height of 1.2 metres.

Walls and surfaces

Exposed blank walls to the street or corner frontages are not permitted. Street elevations shall be articulated to enhance building identity and reduce apparent bulk through the use of, but not limited to:

- projections and indentations in the floor plan;

- window projections and openings;

- related awning and roof elements;

- unenclosed balconies; and

- changes in materials and finishes.

Use of reflective or obscure glazing to windows is not permitted along ground floor street frontages to promote surveillance of the street and allow for visible indoor activity.

Entrances

Entrances to the building should be exposed to the main street and be clearly defined and identifiable.

Roof pitch

Roofs for street front buildings may be flat or pitched. Where a pitch is employed, the pitch should be within 25 and 42 degrees where visible from the street.

Special corner design features

Architectural design elements are encouraged to assist with defining corner locations or the creation of landmark buildings. These corner elements should be open and transparent and demonstrate a lighter architecture. They cannot be used to incorporate additional floor space in the development.


Architectural design elements may take the form of, but not limited to:

- higher parapet facades to a maximum 2 storeys above the third storey;

- cantilevered canopies located higher at the corner truncation;

- distinct roof forms;

- tower elements to a maximum 2 storeys above the third storey;

- building truncations;

- wall projections and features; and/or

- artwork.

Architectural design elements that extend into the street setback may be considered.

Architectural design elements shall only extend 10 metres from the street intersection (see Figure 9).

Figure 9: Architectural design elements at street corners

(vii) Parking and access

Any on-site parking associated with new development shall be placed in car parks either behind street front tenancies or fully below natural ground level.

At-grade parking areas should be designed to connect, or allow connection with, at-grade parking on adjoining sites to encourage shared parking, where possible.

Parking available for public use (including customer and visitor car and bicycle parking) should be clearly designated and have identifiable access points.

Parking areas should be provided with clearly marked and raised pedestrian access ways, connected to the surrounding network of footpaths.

Where available, vehicular access shall be taken from a side street or rights of way.

Parking standards as per the Town's Parking Policy (Local Planning Policy 3.13).

Commercial Zoned areas in West Leederville comprise the Vincent Street West Commercial Area and Other Commercial Areas.

Vincent Street West Commercial Area and Other Commercial Areas will continue to accommodate a range of small to medium scale commercial uses. Community facilities, local shopping uses and mixed use (residential and commercial) developments will also be favourably considered.

Consideration will be given to the nature of the uses, and their design and layout in the secondary commercial areas to minimise the impact on adjacent residential uses and to ensure a high standard of design appropriate to such locations.


1. Development shall be in accordance with any relevant provisions of the Town Planning Scheme and any relevant local planning policies. In the case of residential development, this shall also be in accordance with the Residential Design Codes.


(a) Vincent Street West Commercial Area

(i) Plot ratio

Buildings shall have a maximum plot ratio of 1:1.

(ii) Car parking

Provision of car parking shall strictly comply with Local Planning Policy 3.13: Parking. Undercroft parking will only be permitted where the parking area is screened from view of the street. Where car parking is provided within the street setback area, the area of paving shall not exceed 60% of the street setback area.



(iv) Setbacks


The minimum setback of buildings from the street alignment shall be 4.0 metres. The minimum setback of buildings from side and/or rear boundaries abutting land zoned ‘Residential’ shall be assessed in accordance the relevant R-Code for that abutting residential land.

(v) Advertising signage

Signage shall be restricted to non-illuminated signs attached to the building only. Roof signs are not permitted. Otherwise the provisions of Local Planning Policy 3.15: Advertising Signs shall apply.

(vi) General design of non-residential development

Particular attention shall be given to non-residential development abutting residential uses. Where applicable, development shall have regard for Local Planning Policy 3.10: Design of Non-residential Development.

Reticulated landscaping shall be provided within the front setback area. A landscaping plan to the satisfaction of the Town is to be submitted with a development application and should preferably include water wise species.

(ix) Residential development

Density: residential density shall comply with the Residential Design Codes site area requirements for R60; and


Setbacks: residential development may be permitted to be constructed up to the side property boundary provided that boundary abuts an existing non-residential development.

(b) Other Commercial Areas

(i) Plot ratio

Buildings shall have a maximum plot ratio of 0.5:1.

(ii) Vehicular access

Vehicular access to properties abutting Cambridge Street should be taken from another road or laneway where possible.



(iv) Setbacks

To promote a strong urban form, buildings should preferably be built up to the street alignment and the side boundaries. Where setbacks from the street alignment and/or side boundary/boundaries are proposed, these will be assessed having regard to promoting strong urban form. There is no requirement for a rear setback.

(v) Design elements







(vi) Residential density



4. RESIDENTIAL/COMMERCIAL ZONE


Combined residential and commercial developments will be permitted within this area. Commercial development cannot occur independently of residential development.

Buildings will be low scale and set back from all boundaries in landscaped gardens. Control will be maintained over the design of new buildings to minimise potential conflict with combined and adjacent residential development.

Car parking should be screened from view, well landscaped, and designed in a manner that avoids conflict between residential and non-residential parking.


1. Development shall be in accordance with the Town Planning Scheme, any relevant local planning policies and the Residential Design Codes.


(i) Plot ratio

The plot ratio of any building or part thereof used for non-residential purposes cannot exceed 33% of the maximum allowable plot ratio of 0.5:1.

(ii) Setbacks

The minimum front setback requirement from Salvado Road is 4.5 metres.

(iii) Orientation

That part of the development which is to be used for commercial purposes should be oriented to Salvado Road.

(iv) Landscaping

The landscaped area to be provided should be substantially related to the residential uses.

(v) Amenity

Provision is to be made to ensure that residential use of the land will not be unduly affected by non-residential use.

5. MEDICAL ZONE


Medical uses such as consulting rooms and hospitals will be contained within this area. Residential uses are also appropriate either in combined or purely residential developments.

Buildings should generally be of a small to medium scale reflecting the character of adjacent residential development although development on the St John of God Hospital site may be of a larger scale consistent with existing buildings on-site. All buildings will be set in landscaped gardens.


Careful control will be exercised over the nature and scale of the uses within this area, and their design and layout, to minimise the impact on any adjacent residential uses or land. Additionally, adequate car parking will be provided to ensure that commercial vehicles do not encroach into residential streets.


1. Development shall be in accordance with any relevant provisions of the Town Planning Scheme and any local planning policies. In the case of residential development, this shall also be in accordance with the Residential Design Codes.


(i) Plot ratio

Buildings shall have a maximum plot ratio of 1:1, except where a mixed use development comprising commercial and residential uses is proposed. In this instance, the maximum plot ratio may be increased to 1.5:1 provided that not more than 25% of the additional floorspace that has been allowed will be used for non-residential purposes.

(ii) Building height

The Responsible Authority shall determine the maximum height of a building. In determining building height the Responsible Authority shall take into consideration such matters as the scale and building height of nearby development, the proximity of declared heritage places or areas, streetscape and street width.

(iii) Residential density


(iv) Setbacks

In determining setbacks from lot boundaries and between buildings the Responsible Authority shall have regard to the scale and height of adjoining development, streetscape, street width and the use area classification of adjoining land.

(v) Vehicular access

Vehicular access to Cambridge Street and Salvado Road is to be limited. Access shall be obtained via existing crossovers or rights of way, and/or side streets.

6. COMMUNITY NODE (LEEDERVILLE TOWN HALL)

This area has the potential to develop as a true town centre focus, taking advantage of the site's strategic location, its heritage qualities and building upon the existing uses and activities highly valued by the community. The community, civic and recreational nature of the node will be maintained.

Staged upgrading of facilities and landscaping will assist in meeting the changing needs of a contemporary inner-city community. Creation of a


civic events space is desirable to accommodate a range of functions and community activities.

The Town Hall, with the War Memorial and youth centre, will continue to be the centrepiece of the Community Node, complemented with improved landscape design and better connection with the surrounding area by tree-lined pathways.
