MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL
18 SEPTEMBER 2012
A2. The Mayor advised that the item was on the agenda for consideration during the
meeting.
The Director Planning and Development further advised that the submissions and the
petition had been recorded in the report that is before the Council. The Director
Planning and Development further advised that the Council needs to make a decision
based on information that is available and the issues raised in those submissions,
and that is included in the report.
"Q3.
The area of Innaloo where we live is very noisy, the noise carries a lot and it's very
congested and in fact it's getting more and more difficult to actually be in the area.
That car wash, the location on the car park is right near the residents. It’s a big car
park that they could put that car wash on so could we look at moving it somewhere
else?"
A3. The Mayor advised that would be up to the proponent and that Councillors have an
application for the matter to be sighted where it is.
5.2.2 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME - J FOSTER
The following questions were submitted by Mr J Foster, 5 Hartog Street, Innaloo WA
6018 at the Council meeting held 18 September 2012.
"Q1.
I've been browsing through the TPS38 and within TPS38 car washes don't come
within preferred uses or contemplated uses. So my question is why would you use
your discretion and choice to approve this application?"
A1. The Director Planning and Development advised that car washes are contemplated
in TPS38 but they are of the automatic variety, not the manual variety that is the
subject of the application. The Director Planning and Development further advised
that in respect to the automatic variety, they are a preferred use in respect to the
precinct. The Director Planning and Development advised that in relation to the
manual variety, because they are not described in the Scheme, they are treated as a
'Use not Listed', and it is up to Council to consider the application on its particular
merits, taking into account all the facts of both the application and any submissions
received during the advertising period.
"Q2.
As per Scheme objectives in the TPS1.14.1 Part A 'to provide a system for the
orderly control of development' do you think building this car wash in the area
complies with that?"
A2. The Director Planning and Development advised that because the car wash is 'Use
Not Listed' it is really a matter for Council to determine whether or not it is consistent
with the objectives of the Scheme. The Director Planning and Development further
advised that there has been an officer assessment of that, but it is up to the Council
to determine the specifics of the application.
