MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL
18 SEPTEMBER 2012
5. A door is to be provided in the corner truncation to reflect the original design of the
shop, to the satisfaction of the Manager Approvals. The existing (non-original)
entrance doors on Second Avenue may be retained if they reflect the original
configuration identified in the photographic evidence.
6. Further investigations shall be undertaken, in the form of a Mortar Test, to ascertain
the condition of the original brickwork and mortar, and the effect the removal of the
non-original render to the façades would have on the structural stability of the facade.
The outcome of the Mortar Test shall be submitted to the City for consideration.
Should the outcome of the Mortar Test confirm that there would be no adverse
structural implications then the non-original render should be removed and the façade
should be re-pointed, to reflect the original treatment, to the satisfaction of the
Manager Approvals.
7. Any original timber flooring, which is of an acceptable safety and structural standard
shall be restored and reused. Original timber flooring should be salvaged from the
demolition of the remaining building and reused in the conservation works, where the
original flooring is no longer extant, to the satisfaction of the Manager Approvals.
8. Any original ceiling treatments shall be retained in-situ. They may be covered with a
suspended ceiling, provided that the original ceiling is carefully preserved.
Photographs should be taken and incorporated into an Archival Record, which
documents the nature and extent of the remaining pressed tin ceiling.
9. A report from a Structural Engineer shall be submitted to the satisfaction of Manager
Approvals prior to the issue of a demolition licence, demonstrating that any
modification to the internal floor levels to create one (1) finished level across the
tenancy (without internal steps) will not have an adverse impact on the structural
stability of the building.
10. An Archival Record of the building shall be undertaken to the satisfaction of the
Manager Approvals prior to the issue of a demolition licence. Additional images of the
building should be undertaken during the demolition works to document the nature and
extent of the pressed tin ceiling.
Report Purpose
The purpose of the report is for Council to reconsider a development application for the
partial demolition of the commercial building at Lot 25, House Number 760, Beaufort Street,
Mount Lawley (subject property) under Section 31 of the State Administrative Tribunal Act
(2004).
It is to be noted that whilst, the City has been invited to ‘reconsider’ its previous decision, the
proposal is significantly different from that which was previously considered by Council at its
Ordinary Meeting held on 15 May 2012 for complete demolition of the existing building. As a
consequence, Council is now considering a new development proposal, which has been
developed through mediation as part of the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) process, as
outlined in this report.
