Issue
ENVIRONMENTAL
Comment
Water consumption and quality The proposal is expected to allow for more efficient use of
water than individuals who wash their vehicles using noncommercial
means, which typically results in a grey water
run off into drainage systems and the environment. The
development also has the potential to incorporate the use of
waste water recycling.
Amenity
Issue
SOCIAL
Comment
The proposed development is not considered to impact on
the amenity of any surrounding land uses.
Job creation
Issue
ECONOMIC
Comment
The proposal will assist in fostering job creation within the
Stirling City Centre area.
Conclusion
The objections received by the City have been taken into account and it is considered that
the comments cannot be substantiated based on planning grounds.
The variation to the previously agreed parking ratio has been addressed through the
submission of a technical report by Cardno, the findings of which have been endorsed by the
City’s Engineering Design Business Unit.
The proposed Manual Car Wash is considered an appropriate use at the Westfield Innaloo
site and is not considered to increase the number of vehicles visiting the site so as to detract
from the amenity of the locality. The application is therefore recommended for approval
subject to conditions.
