MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL<br />

18 SEPTEMBER 2012<br />

4. R-AC Codes<br />

The Scheme currently permits residential development to a maximum density <strong>of</strong> R80<br />

within a District Centre zone. As the Dianella Centre Plan proposes an improved built<br />

form and better land use mix the maximum standard <strong>of</strong> R80 has become redundant<br />

and requires change to reflect the desired vision. The Centre Plan recommends<br />

introducing the activity centre standards <strong>of</strong> the Western Australian Planning<br />

Commission Statement <strong>of</strong> Planning Policy 3.1, ‘Residential Design Codes’ (R-AC2 and<br />

R-AC3 codes) which is to be the first for the <strong>City</strong>.<br />

The Centre Plan proposes an R-AC2 code for the District Centre zone and a portion <strong>of</strong><br />

the former Coles site in Waverley Street zoned residential. The R-AC3 code is<br />

proposed for the remainder <strong>of</strong> the residential zoned land in Chester Avenue and Kerry<br />

Street.<br />

The major differences between the existing R80 and the R-AC2 and R-AC3 codes<br />

are:-<br />

increased plot ratio from 1.0 to 1.5 (R-AC3) and 2.5 (R-AC2) (as outlined in table<br />

below); and<br />

increased maximum building height from 15m to 23m (R-AC2). Maximum height<br />

is proposed to remain the same for R-AC3 at 15m (as outlined in table below).<br />

R-AC2 will use the development provisions <strong>of</strong> Western Australian Planning<br />

Commission Statement <strong>of</strong> Planning Policy 3.1, ‘Residential Design Codes’. The R-AC3<br />

code is proposed to be modified, to reduce maximum height from 18m to 15m and<br />

maximum plot ratio from 2.0 to 1.5:-<br />
