MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL
18 SEPTEMBER 2012
Financial Implications
Should Council be of a mind to approve the subject application, it may decide that a cash-inlieu
contribution for the 4.4 (4) bay parking shortfall increase is required. In this case, the
applicant will be required to pay a contribution to the City based on the estimated cost of
providing a public parking bay in the locality at current market costs for both the land
component and construction. The contribution will subsequently be placed in the City’s Cash
In Lieu Reserve Account. It should be noted that the approval for the Wembley Downs
Shopping Centre and the mixed use development on the subject site did not require a cashin-lieu
payment for the associated parking shortfall.

Conclusion
The applicant has demonstrated to the City’s satisfaction that the proposed increased
parking shortfall can be accommodated for within the adjoining car park by virtue of a sublease
with the Wembley Downs Shopping Centre where sufficient capacity exists to meet the
shortfall. The proposed consulting rooms are considered to provide a local service to the
community without detracting from the amenity of the locality. The application is therefore
recommended for approval.
