MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL
18 SEPTEMBER 2012
In October 1998 Council considered a request by the applicant to apply a reduced parking
ratio of 5.5 bays per 100m 2 . The City’s staff noted that the Innaloo City Centre was allowed a
parking ratio of 5 bays per 100m 2 (Town Planning Scheme No.38) and that the reduced
parking ratio was not unreasonable however the staff also noted that more time was needed
to assess the situation when the centre was fully developed. Council subsequently agreed
to apply a parking ratio of 5.5 bays per 100m 2 which had the effect of reducing the parking
shortfall to 223 car bays. A contingency plan referring to the provision of 223 car bays (if
they were required) was subsequently prepared by the applicant and endorsed by the City.
At its meeting on 16 March 2010 Council considered a request by the applicant to extinguish
the Legal Agreement and effectively extinguish the contingency plan. In considering the
applicant’s request at the time, the City staff noted that the parking at the centre was
underutilised. Council supported the applicant’s request and the contingency plan Legal
Agreement was extinguished (Council Resolution Number 0310/051).
On 7 February 2012 Council considered a development application for Additions to the
