Furthermore, some of the land in question would not be subject to
the local planning scheme amendment (for example the Fremantle
Holiday Village and the former Fremantle landfill site), as it is already
zoned urban under the MRS and development area under the local
planning scheme.
3.3.3 Master plan
It is recommended that an infrastructure master plan be considered
prior to the commencement of local structure planning for the
precincts. This master plan would provide further detailed guidance
on those elements which span the whole of the project area, yet are
too detailed to be explored within the district structure plan.
More specifically, the master plan would tie in the following
components:
• local road networks;
• drainage;
• public open space; and
• utilities and services.
The master plan may also provide an appropriate vehicle for
providing additional direction on the placement of landmark and
gateway sites and treatment of the public realm. The treatment of
roads, local open space themes and public spaces could be more
fully articulated to ensure a common theme throughout the structure
plan area.
The master plan may also enable further planning for key utilities
and infrastructure and form the basis of a staging plan. It is
anticipated that development will initially be focused within the Robb
Jetty precinct, based on servicing and existing land use
arrangements.
3.3.4 Local structure plans
Both City of Fremantle LPS 4 and City of Cockburn LPS 3 specify the
need for local structure plans or detailed area plans within the
development zone prior to consideration of development or
subdivision.
Local structure plans should be developed over areas no less than
the precincts as identified in Chapter 2.10 of this report. This is
necessary to ensure that issues of land use change, infrastructure
development and design controls can be coordinated and applied
in a consistent manner within the character precincts.
Even in the event of an alternative mechanism (such as a
redevelopment authority) being applied, the scale and nature of
development would require the preparation of comprehensive local
structure plans based on the precincts identified within the report.
In accordance with scheme requirements local structure plans
would consist of the following.
1. A map detailing proposals for:
• neighbourhoods around proposed local activity nodes
and town centres;
• existing and proposed commercial centres;
• natural features to be retained;
• street block layouts;
• the street network, including street types;
• transportation corridors, public transport network, and
cycle and pedestrian networks;
• land uses including residential densities and estimates of
population;
• school and community facilities;
• public parklands; and
• urban water management areas.
2. A report to explain the mapping and to address:
• the planning framework, including relationship and
compliance with the district structure plan and any
policies, strategies and scheme provisions which apply
to the land and any environmental conditions which
apply;
• the site and context analysis, applying the district level
planning and including detailed local analysis;
• how planning for the structure plan area is to be
integrated with the surrounding land;
• the design rationale for the proposed pattern of
subdivision, land use and development;
• traffic management and safety;
• parkland provision and management;
• urban water management;
• proposals for public utilities including sewerage, water
supply, drainage, gas electricity and communication
services; and
• the proposed method of implementation, including cost
sharing and any staging of subdivision and
development.
Additions to these standard requirements are necessary for local
structure plans within the Cockburn coast district structure plan due
to the nature of development and the current site context. Additional
considerations and inclusions would be:
• existing and previous industrial uses, including buffer
requirements, transitional arrangements and site
remediation requirements;
• landmark and gateway sites and the proposed response
to building form, height and bulk objectives within the
character precinct;
• public realm environments and the proposed treatment;
• extent, nature and application of mixed use development,
including a description of the intended land use and the
anticipated employment generation in the short and
medium term;
• sustainability assessment, to include solar performance,
view corridors and ped-shed analysis in accordance with
district level requirements; and
• architectural and landscape themes, expanding upon the
broad principles established in the structure plan.
