Dear Sir

LOT 88 (HN 526) FITZGERALD STREET, NORTH PERTH – DEVELOPMENT

I refer to your letter dated 28th July 2015 regarding the above application. In

accordance with the Western Australian Planning Commission’s (WAPC) Notice of

Delegation dated 23rd Dec 2011, the following transport comments are provided by

the Department of Planning.

Proposal

Lot 88 is currently occupied by a single dwelling, per (Attachment A –Aerial map

with MRS reservations), and the proposal seeks to change the use of the site from

Residential to Office / Consulting room.

Discrepancy between subject lot and area shown on plans

The site plan shows a larger area than that is covered by Lot 88, per (Attachment B-

Proposed development) however, following our discussion on 30th July 2015, it has

been clarified that the application relates only to Lot 88, therefore the following

comments are based on this understanding.

Land Requirements

The subject property abuts Fitzgerald St, which is reserved as an Other Regional

Road (ORR) in the Metropolitan Region Scheme, and a Category 21 ORR in WAPC

Plan No. SP 694/3.

Lot 88 is affected by the ORR, per (Attachment A - Aerial map with MRS

reservations), and (Attachment C – WAPC Land Requirement Plan no. 1.3150/2).

1 ORR Categories: WAPC Plan No. SP 694/2 uses the following ORR Categories; Category 1: Frontage access is not allowed

(control of access). Category 2: Frontage access may be allowed subject to approval. Category 3: Road reservation not accurately defined or under review. http://www.planning.wa.gov.au/dop_pub_pdf/devwapca_2_2A0.pdf

Attachment 4

For exact dimensions, the proponent may apply for a Clause 42 Certificate, which is

a legal document that shows the road widening requirement. The application form

can be downloaded from http://www.planning.wa.gov.au/636.asp.

No part of the existing dwelling or other structures appears to be located within the

ORR reserve, and none are proposed.

In the event that the applicant should wish to undertake any development within the

reserved land in the future, please be advised that the Department does not support

the construction of any permanent structures within the reserved land.

Some structures such as signage may be considered on a temporary basis only, and

on condition that:

The land owner agrees to remove the development at the time when the

reserved land is required for the upgrading of Canning Highway at their own

expense if required; and

The land owner agrees that the any improvements made to or loss of amenity

will not be taken into consideration in determining any land acquisition cost or

compensation which may be payable by Council or the WAPC at such time

as the land is required.

Access

Vehicle access is currently provided via one crossover onto York St, and one onto

Fitzgerald St, and no changes to access are proposed as part of this change of use.

No additional crossovers are proposed as part of this application. This is in

accordance with the Commission’s Regional Roads (Vehicular Access) Policy D.C.

5.1, which seeks to minimise the number of new crossovers onto regional roads.

The application states that the operating hours for the Commercial / Consulting use

will be Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, and Saturdays from 9:00 am to 12

noon. It is estimated that traffic generated from the proposal could be in the order of

4.8 – 5 vehicles in the peak hour. This is not expected to have a significant impact on

Fitzgerald St.

MAX Light Rail

The subject lot abuts Fitzgerald Street, where the State’s proposed MAX light rail

project is being planned. This project will have transport and land use implications for

lots along the corridor.

In addition to the current ORR road reservation requirements, the State has

developed an initial reference design for the proposed light rail infrastructure that

may have an additional impact on the road reserve in front of the subject lots. The

Attachment 4

proponent is advised to contact the Public Transport Authority (PTA) to understand

the full implications of any additional setbacks or access arrangements required. The

MAX Light Rail project generally supports increased urban intensification adjacent to

the proposed light rail corridor where it creates a positive urban impact on the

streetscape. For further information on the MAX Light Rail project you are advised to

contact the PTA on 13 62 13 or email projects@pta.wa.gov.au

Conclusion

Lot 88 is affected by the ORR reserve for Fitzgerald St, however no

development is proposed within the reserve;

No additional crossovers are proposed onto Fitzgerald St. This is in

accordance with Development Control Policy D.C. 5.1;

The proposed change of land use is not expected to result in a significant

increase in traffic entering and exiting Fitzgerald st;

Therefore, the Department of Planning has no objection to the proposal on transport

planning grounds.

As Lot 88 abuts Fitzgerald St, the proponent is advised to contact the PTA to

understand the full implications of any additional setbacks or access arrangements

required.
