MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL
18 SEPTEMBER 2012
It is envisaged that the extensions would be designed as a feature pod building clearly
identifiable from the freeway/railway systems and the realigned Oswald Street as a
landmark building within the Centre, with offices or residential components constructed
above retail facilities, and improvements undertaken to the external facades of the
existing Centre to provide opportunities for additional strip shopping located along the
primary pedestrian axis.
With changing retail hours and shopping trends, the potential exists to create a major
after hours retail focus linking the Railway Station (and development to the north) to
restaurant and cinema development south of Scarborough Beach Road.
In recognition of resident concerns, existing remnant vegetation should be
incorporated into the design (and into the landscaped buffer areas) where possible.
Group housing up to R60 density is also required as a transitional buffer between the
proposed retail facilities and the existing residential areas (Precinct 3).
The area of land that will be created between the realigned Oswald Street and the
eastern boundary of the established residential development in Shawford and Staveley
Places which is presently set aside as Public Open Space should be developed as
landscaped parkland but community facilities such as arts and crafts and public
exhibition areas should be provided to maintain a strong pedestrian theme between
the shopping centre Precinct and the Stirling Railway Station, across the realigned
Oswald Street."
TPS 38 provides the following definition for an “Automatic Car Wash”:-
Means a building or portion of a building wherein vehicles are washed and cleaned by
or primarily by mechanical means.
An “Automatic Car Wash” is a “Preferred” use within Precinct 1. However as the
proposed land use does not wash vehicles by mechanical means, it does not
constitute an “Automatic Car Wash”. Consequently, the proposed use is required to be
considered as a “Use Not Listed” in accordance with clause 5.4.5 of TPS38, which
states:-
"Where in this Part a use is not a Preferred Use or Contemplated Use in a Precinct or
is a use that is not mentioned or defined in the Scheme or is not included in the
general terms of the uses defined or is not normally part of the conduct of any of the
uses defined them in dealing with a development application in that Precinct involving
that use the Council:
a) May consider the application only after appropriate advertising for public
submissions and notification of affected landowners in accordance with Clause
2.7. The time period specified in Clause 2.7 shall apply.
b) May approve the application after due consideration of the matters referred to in
Clause 2.8 and any relevant submission, subject to any conditions it considers
appropriate; or
c) May refuse the application."
