MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL<br />

18 SEPTEMBER 2012<br />

Submission<br />

Number<br />

Submission Details<br />

Officer's Comment<br />

If the activities <strong>of</strong> the proposed home<br />

business result in a nuisance being caused<br />

in the locality, or if the home business<br />

operates in a manner other than that with<br />

which it was approved, the <strong>City</strong> may<br />

rescind the approval pursuant to Clause<br />

8.3.2 <strong>of</strong> LPS3.<br />

The proposed development has been<br />

categorised correctly as a Home Business,<br />

in accordance with the land use definitions<br />

provided in the <strong>City</strong>’s Local Planning<br />

Scheme No.3.<br />

2<br />

The proposed use has been categorised<br />

incorrectly and should be considered a<br />

Consulting Rooms, which is an “X” use<br />

within a Residential zone.<br />

The proposed land use is incompatible<br />

with the subject locality, which is entirely<br />

Residential (apart from Yelo and Soda<br />

cafes). The incompatibility would be<br />

evident due to the erection <strong>of</strong> advertising<br />

signage on the site, increased traffic<br />

volumes, and damage to the <strong>City</strong>’s road<br />

reserves as clients would use the verge<br />

for manoeuvring.<br />

There are already 6 established<br />

chiropractic centres within the<br />

surrounding area (Karrinyup, North<br />

Beach and Beach Road) – there is<br />

clearly no need for additional chiropractic<br />

services in the area.<br />

Approval <strong>of</strong> this proposal would result in<br />

additional traffic movements along West<br />

Coast Drive. As this road already carries<br />

a high volume <strong>of</strong> traffic, it is<br />

inappropriate for the approval <strong>of</strong> a<br />

development which would result in<br />

additional vehicle trips.<br />

The site does not have an adequate<br />

manoeuvring area to enable vehicles to<br />

enter the street in forward gear.<br />

Approval <strong>of</strong> this application would act as<br />

a precedent for other inappropriate land<br />

uses.<br />

Commercial viability and business<br />

competition are not valid planning<br />

considerations.<br />

If the activities <strong>of</strong> the proposed home<br />

business results in a nuisance being<br />

caused in the locality, or if the home<br />

business operates in a manner other than<br />

that with which it was approved, the <strong>City</strong><br />

may rescind the approval pursuant to<br />

Clause 8.3.2 <strong>of</strong> LPS3. The proposed<br />

signage, parking, and number <strong>of</strong> clients are<br />

all in accordance with the requirements <strong>of</strong><br />

the <strong>City</strong>’s Local Planning Policy 2.4.<br />

Under the Local Planning Policy 2.4.<br />

a home business is permitted to attract up<br />

to eight (8) customers a day. The proposed<br />

businesses will attract a maximum <strong>of</strong> five<br />

(5) customers per day and therefore<br />

complies with the provisions <strong>of</strong> the Policy.<br />

The additional traffic as a result <strong>of</strong> the<br />

proposal is unlikely to be any more evident<br />

than visitors to a residential dwelling.<br />

Additionally, in considering the subject site<br />

is located on West Coast Drive, any<br />

additional vehicles to the site are unlikely to<br />

have an adverse impact upon the amenity<br />

<strong>of</strong> this locality due to the high volume <strong>of</strong><br />

traffic which West Coast Drive already<br />

carries.<br />

It is proposed that any customer’s vehicles<br />

visiting the site will park on the applicant’s<br />

property and not on the verge or within the<br />

street. The existing parking on the site has<br />

been constructed in accordance with the<br />

historical approvals, therefore<br />

notwithstanding the current requirement <strong>of</strong><br />

the R-Codes to provide a manoeuvring<br />

area for vehicles entering a District<br />

Distributor Road in forward gear, this is not<br />

something which can be retrospectively<br />

enforced.<br />
